Nebras

I received six alrehab perfumes from my lovely friend lalehrokh as a gift and I'm truely impressed.they're all so good that it's very difficult to choose one as best Nebras has a retro vibe.it's mature in the best way possible and has a glamorous vintage thing.not too mature for a 26 year old woman like me.it feels just right,ofcourse not as a casual daily scent as it's full of class,elegance and feminity.unfortunately I've never tried boudoir so I can't compare them,I also don't know anything similar still I find nebras very familiar and nostalgic (I own and like Givenchy Organza but I don't find it too similar to Nebras) it's categorized as a floral green but it's not green to my nose,also not really citrusy.it's a reddish pink,sweet floral powder puff which smells heavenly! There's definitely rose in it and I feel like there's this amazing creamy vanilla that shows up in drydown and makes it smell like a delicious floral ice cream. but I can't guess other notes, there's definitely white flowers(orange flower? jasmine? gardenia? probably a blend of these). a powdery purple flower?maybe lilac?maybe amber?some creamy woody notes? some spices (I smell something like anise specially in the opening. and a hint of nutmeg) I can't call it an Arabic scent,not really.I hate oud and I'm very happy that I can't detect any oud in it. it's not a really musky scent either. nebras is a super gorgeous, stunning,exquisite powdery floral well rounded by right amounts of vanilla and oriental notes.it's unique,sexy,unforgettable and I love it to the point that I'm hooked! Mine is a 35mil spray bottle which has great longevity and amazing projection.I can't name it heavy as there's lovely softness going on here,I'd better call it strong.it's wearable year round,both days and nights in case you apply right amount of it.better for special occasions.I definitely will repurchase it since I want to have it always as a part of my collection.unfortunately it's very difficult to find in my country(though it seems strange as we're geographicly close to Arab countries)but my friend has most alrehabs and sells them for less than 10$,an unbelievable bargain! Nebras isn't everyone's cup of tea,I can see that but if you're into classic floral scents you'd love it I can't get enough of this sweet powdery mist around me.it smells great.I'd love to try all alrehab perfumes I can find as I like all this six one I own now Highly recommended اصلا نمیشه توصیفش کرد انقد خوبه.یه شاهکار کن دهها بار بیشتر از قیمتش میرزه برای من نه مرکباتی هست نه رایحه سبزی داره نه عربی-طور هست نه حتی ذره ای عود توش حس میکنم.یه رایحه کاملا پودری-گلی داره مثل ابری از پودر صورتی و گلی و شیرین که دور آدم رو گرفته(نتهای گلی خیلی خوب میکس شدن اما حس میکنم رز و یسری گلهای سفید مثل شکوفه پرتقال و یاس و گاردنیا و حتی گلهای بنفش مثل لایلک داره). تو درای داون هم سر و کله یه وانیل خامه ای و محشر پیدا میشه که باعث میشه درای داون نبراس بوی بستنی با طعم میکس گلها بده(اگه بستنی با همچین طعمی وجود داشت). یسری نتهای اسپایسی هم من ازش میگیرم چیزی شبیه انیس و جوز هندی نبراس یه حالت کلاسیک و وینتج مخصوصا تو اولش داره اما نه درحدی که سن عطر بالا رفته باشه. بنظر من رایحه دخترانه ای داره منتها متعلق به دهه نود سرشار از زنانگی و جذابیته و پخش و موندگاری معرکه ای داره.بصورت چهارفصل قابل استفاده ست و بنظر من بیشتر مناسب موقعیت های خاص و مجالسه.باتوجه به خاص بودنش عطری نیست که همه بپسندن اما شدیدا توصیه میکنمش چون پیدا کردن یه عطر انقد جذاب و به یاد موندنی و دلربا و قوی تو رنج قیمتی زیر پنجاه تومن(ده دلار) کار راحتی نیست

This review is for the 6ml oil roll on... I'm surprised at how much I love this scent! On me, it opens as an innocent soapy rose, clean and feminine. After an hour or so, the mid notes reveal themselves and I get a bit of white floral, similar to jasmine or tuberose? My favorite is after the fourth hour, and the warm, resin-y base notes appear. Benzoin and caramel, perhaps? But not overly sweet... just pleasantly warm and a little spicy. One reviewer said it reminded them of Madonna's Truth or Dare (one of my favorites) and I agree, but without the huge tuberose/gardenia opening. Nebras is quieter, but somehow richer and deeper. And for those who worry it won't project, as is the case with most oils, not to worry... it's definitely a compliment getter. I've also ordered the EDP spray as I just can't get enough of this scent! Gorgeous! Edit: I've been wearing this scent for several months now and it's quickly become my signature. I love how iit's both classic (spicy carnation and rose soapiness) and modern (smoky vanilla caramel gourmand base) at the same time. It's difficult to describe this scent because there are so many nuances, and I discover new ones every time I wear it. It is by far my most complimented fragrance. People are always saying how good I smell. And to think this magic in a bottle retails for less than $5! I've since started buying the 35ml spray and a few squirts on neck and chest over a couple light dabs of the perfume oil is enough to last a good 12+ hours. I've read that others have experimented with layering Nebras with other Arabian attars, but I haven't done that yet. To me Nebras by itself is perfection, and who am I to mess with perfection? :-) But someday I'm sure I will be tempted, if only out of curiosity. If you've been thinking of trying Nebras, don't hesitate! You'll be surprised at what you've been missing.

Al-Rehab Nebras is the most pleasant shock I have ever experienced. Vivian Westwoods Boudoir is my signature fragrance and my favourite scent of all time. I didn’t believe that Nebras would be anything like it. I mean, here in the UK, I got it on Amazon for the price of a pint of lager, ffs. I expected it to smell, at best, like a rose soap from the chemist. But, I was so wrong. This is an amazing Boudoir dupe. It’s the same woman, but she’s given up smoking and isn’t wearing her leather jacket at the moment. (I recommend the oil over the eau de parfum btw) I cannot believe how elegant this extremely feminine fragrance is. I am immediately hit with rose, carnation, bubblegum, talcum powder and Oud (which presents as a creamy balsam lotion). After about 20 minutes, the sexy sandalwood appears, and the oud comes forward and it has bergamot with it. The rose moves into the heart with the bubblegum and there is some very naughty jasmine sprinkled around the entire affair. There is a quiet warm resin like amber opiatic base. Like Boudoir, it has a sweet, false innocence over a sexy confident naughtiness. It has less of the juxtaposition of frilly femininity vs tough urban coolness, but it suggests it. This continues for hours. After a few hours, you still have the creamy balsam oud, the sandalwood, the talc, the bergamot and the carnations. The rose and the bubblegum have grown-up and mixed with the opium base into a subtle warm pink fragrance. I never get any of the lemon, that is often mentioned. It is definitely not “light“ it is quite a strong, unapologeticly girly fragrance. and the opium, sandalwood, Jasmine and Rose gives it a mysterious darkness, one combined, that is often not mentioned. This is the best deal, I believe, I have ever found.

Feb 2019 So I've had this beauty for a while, and wanted to update my review. I actually have the small 3ml rollerbottle, because I gave the bigger one to my Mother-in-law. This is just such a gorgeous scent. Every time I revisit it, I'm impressed at the depth and beauty. It's definitely a bit sweet, a bit powdery, and a good dose of florals. To me, it's rather harmless and almost universally pleasing, but I don't think it's what I would call "safe." Not because people wouldn't like it (duh, I just said its universally pleasing), but because it's a fragrance that is rather unexpected and doesn't smell cheap or typical. Instead,it has a sophistication and sensual (but not sexual) feeling to it. It's really the perfect snuggle scent. I can imagine wearing this on a second or third date to a nice wine dinner, where he has to lean in a bit to catch your scent, but it's definitely worth his trouble. If you catch my drift. :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sept 2016 I am both humored and annoyed at Al-Rehab's lack of correct notes. This is so much more! Now I have not tested Boudoir, but this is exactly what it smells like... The dressing room of a naughty lady. The most surprising (and thrilling) note I get is Cabochard-esque leather! Leather covered in roses, powder, and a little bit of feminine must. But leather is unmistakable to my nose. This opens with an explosion, but as is the case with most Al-Rehabs, it quickly settles into my skin and becomes a beautiful, classic, feminine, slightly sweet fragrance. Very different from my first experience with this scent. Now that I have more experience, I am a bit more apt to identify and appreciate the notes. A definite winner!

What a great discovery!. But please let it dry for an hour before smelling it too closely or it will burn the hairs in your nose like trementine. (Anyway this is usual with attars). This is a beautiful floral very wearable by Western standars, and still better in hot weather. Sillage is not overwhelming and it lasts and lasts. I don ́t know how much it resembles VW ́s Boudoir because I ́ve never smelled that but this is a lovely, inexpensive oil wich smells much expensive and perfumey than many Western designer ́s juices. Some folk classify everything not frutchouli as an old lady ́s scent and so this may be seen by those people like dated and old-ladyish. For me, this is classy and classic. This is not a sexy, attention seeker fragance, instead this is a comfort, clean, all year round juice that will make you feel all dressed-up and groomed even if you wear trainers and ragged jeans. In my nose this is intensely white floral with a green but warm undertone, with lots of rose and jazmin, citrus and a bit of wood. Somehow remindes me of a mix between old Eau Jeune Fleur a Fleur and Cabotine but much lighter in sillage and more classy. I smell aniseed and musk soap and some powder a few hours after the drydown. This is absolutely lovely. Give it a try if you like classy white florals. Update: this is growing on me. I love this attar so much that have ordered 6 bottles of 6ml. I can easily see this as my new signature. Of all my attars, this one is my absolute favorite followed by Al-Rehab Cobra and Alquimia Pervane Ámbar (an artesanal juice from a small house at Albayzin quarter - Granada)
