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)

I can't believe I have the spray version for two years and last night was the first full wearing. I received it with a bunch of other perfumes, did one spray in the air, said, "Nice," stuck it in the cabinet, then proceeded to forget all about it.. That's when you know you have way too many perfumes. 😂 Oh well, I'm going to make up for my neglect of this beauty from here on out. It is soooooooooo lovely. A gorgeous dreamy perfume of what I envision are big pink roses with bubblegum tuberose on a lovely powdery base. I won't go further into the notes because so many here already did it, but I did want to mention that if you do get this perfume to take care as a little goes a long way. It can seem deceptive on first spray, but body temperature releases this fragrance and it gets stronger as the scent progresses. I used 3 sprays last night and had to take some off as I started to asphyxiate myself. I'm almost sorry I didn't get an oil as one spray is almost one spray too much. You also really have to be committed to wearing it, because it lasts forever. Even after a shower, I could still smell it. The most amazing thing about this scent is the price. I don't smoke but I believe a pack of cigarettes probably costs more than a bottle of this perfume, so you'll certainly get your money's worth with this one. Fantastic performance too. I swear, I've tried niches that didn't perform half as well or smell half as nice. Considering the price differences, that's crazy. So, if you are a big floral lover, especially of rose and tuberose scents, this is one to try. I highly recommend it!

Boudoir -ish If you were to fill a half-full bottle of Boudoir with Organza parfum and Formula 10.0.6 Deep Pore Cleanser, you would have Nebras. Vivienne Westwood Boudoir is my signature scent, and I actually do like Nabras. Is it a poor girls Boudoir? YES! I just got .2 oz of pure parfum for pocket change; $2.51! That is 9.5x cheaper (per oz) than my last purchase of Boudoir. For the price, this is fantastic! Like Boudoir, Nebras is romantic, dreamy and unapologetically feminine. Bubble gum, roses and spice. But where Boudoir is sassy and naughty, Nebras is soapy and nice. I don't get any of the forbidden Viburnum Boudoir has or the silver screen star make-up powder. Nebras is less confrontational and has a more submissive sweetness to it. It's less indolic. Nebras is as powerful as Boudoir, but not as exciting or brazen. Nebras is an undemanding cheap date; Boudoir is absolutely not. The dry-down is more Organza. Lots of Geraniol and Coumarin and an aloe like watery smell. If you love Boudoir, you will really like Nebras. For the price, it won't hurt to try. PS: I have heard some people refer to Boudoir as "old fashioned" or "old lady" perfume. Look...the perfume is only 22 years old. My 2nd favourite perfume is 102, Mitsouko. That sweet candy smell was not associated with perfume before the 80s. Viburnum was used in perfume, for the 1st time, in 1998. The year a perfume was created doesn't make it lose it's allure. You may be ageist, which is a shame. Regardless of that, nobody in a seniors home smells like anything like Boudoir, so Shhhh!

Have worn this today, for the first time. I was expecting a great wall of floral-ness to come at me, but no, just a well-behaved soft rose to start, then gradually gaining some lovely soft white florals along the way. I have applied it twice already, as I don't find it knocks people over at all - so far DH hasn't even commented on it, but he has got a stinker of a cold. I can tell I'm wearing it, but I don't think I'm benefiting great swathes of humanity with it - not altogether a bad thing! It's a pleasant, soft floral that could be worn anywhere, without anyone taking offence, but I feel sure that anyone coming into your close circle would be aware that you smelled lovely. Definitely a keeper. Update: Wore it last Sunday, and I got complimented by Hubs and also another woman, so very pleased it's actually noticeable on me, as I love this little fragrance, it's so pretty. Have had a year of not wearing much perfume (DH having had an enormous op and still chesty from long anaesthesia). Just started playing about with some of my perfumes, and realise that I have to re-order Nebras, as there's only a smear left in the bottle! Must have been my favourite, as there is plenty left of the others. Layered Nebras today, with Al Haramain Amber and has made a delightful fragrance together, as the Amber is too masculine on it's own. Have to say, quite a few of these oils actually have improved with being left alone for a year in a dark drawer.

This, this is what I like in a feminine fragrance! This is so pretty and I think the pink cloud that people have described is spot on. You truley feel like you’re in your own fabulous bubble of perfume. I didn’t get girlie girl till my older years I’m 38 now and I find that this scents suits me just fine. It’s a very strong scent I literally only put 3 small dabs and I could smell this all around me. So I will go very lightly with this. I love this floral power house it makes me feel so good to wear this, the powdery drydown is so nice and it’s still floral just with a touch of powder. So good! I’m so happy I bought a backup of this as I can see myself and I have been wearing it non stop since I got it. For 5$ I’m just so happy with this womanly heaven. If I were 16 and found out about this me and my girlfriends would of been all over this trying to act older than our years. This is a good one to own from Al Rehab if you like a florals and very western in my opinion. I adore everything about it and am so happy others enjoy this type of fragrance as well. Namaste’. Side note: I purchased the Nebras 35ml spray and this its even more like Boudoir than the oil IMO. Also the spray lasts a very long time if I spray it on my clothes it lasts for days. So I think this spray is better than the other al rehab sprays. Plus I layer this with the oil and it lasts even longer that way. I just wanted to add that this edp lasts longer than most. :)

I just received the attar today. I tried it an smelled something lightly citrus with a soft, powdery floral peeking through after 10-15 minutes. Very pleasant. My nose must be tired though, because it was difficult for me to smell much and yet others described it as being very potent. Well it's definitely me, ch when I asked my husband what he thought, he said "Nice, but very strong - I could smell it in the other room!" Glad I had him there to tell me before I wore it in public. I'll give my nose a few days to catch up, but in the meantime I can already tell the value far exceeds the cost! To be continued... EDIT - hours later and my fatigued nose can finally enjoy this beautiful attar. My nose is practically glued to my wrist and I'm tempted to add another drop! This is, without a doubt, the loveliest fragrance less than $10 that I have ever experienced. Highly recommended to anyone that loves florals. ____________________ Interesting - I was wearing TF Noir pour Femme this evening, when all of a sudden I started to crave Nebras. I dabbed some of the oil on my wrist and I am loving the combination!! It's hard to explain other than Nebras brings some light to NpF's dark, and vice versa. I also own the NpF body lotion and think that will work equally well, if not better!

My Oh My. A couple of bucks on ebay, a 3 week postage wait, but finally my little brown package from India arrived and this beauty was inside. First of all, this lasts for ages. The longevity is up there with Thierry Mugler, maybe it even surpasses TM to be honest. Second of all, this projects BIG TIME. So far, that's been a positive thing for me! Thirdly, and most importantly, the scent itself is of the utmost sophistication and elegance. It is sweet, but not in a lolly or teeny-bop 'Pink Sugar' way - not at all. It's sweet in an Indian Spice way if that makes sense - it's sweet in a grown up way. Then there are the many different floral notes...some white, some pink...and what sets it all off and keeps it together are the citrus notes. A little sour at first (which is heaven when meshed with the sweetness of this perfume) - but in no time at all the sourness goes away and the Citrus notes become fresh and zesty. Once it's had time to dry down - a lovely musk note appears and beautifully 'dusts' over every other note. This is my first Al-Rebab perfume and I am head over heels already! This is truly a classy, elegant, beautiful perfume on a budget. Most perfumes 10 times the price of this don't have the quality of this :) AMAZING. 10/10.

To me, this smells very much like a cross between VW Boudoir and Bal a Versailles... a very western, sweet floral blend of carnation, rose, and indolic blossoms with a touch of aldehydes over a slightly-skanky base dominated by musk and civet... and to think that something of this quality only cost me 5USD! I almost don't want to talk about it so that I can keep this little secret bargain to myself! A.m.a.z.i.n.g in all respects: longevity on my skin at 70F is over 12 hours. EDIT: I'd like to add that I've been increasing the skank factor by layering Nebras over Untitled #8. The combo is lovely, increasing the depth without disturbing the construction of either as they "lock" seamlessly. EDIT: I've been seeing reviewers after mine come up with "fluffy pink cloud" to describe the visual impression of this fragrance, and I absolutely agree with that! Today I tried layering it with Al Rehab's 'White Musk', and find the combo really pleasant- they bond well together. I am nearly finished with my first bottle of CPO as I've been wearing it quite often, so had to splurge on the 6-pack so that I'm safely in stock for awhile. Love this perfume so much.

I am wearing “Nebras” for about a month and I must say that I am falling madly in love with this little wonder! I bought the perfume oil based on the positive reviews on this site...and thanks to you all I finally got it! I own a lot of fragrances, some of them VERY expensive (CHANEL, DIOR etc.) but this little gem has taken my heart! Some of you have mentioned the similarity to “Boudoir” which I cannot compare, since I do not own this perfume. But let me tell you, the sensuality of “Nebras” is breathtaking! On my skin this smells like the most expensive fragrance...! The fragrance starts a bit harsh the first couple of minutes, reminds me a bit of hairspray...but after 5 minutes it is pure bliss. The Taif Rose, citrus and Jasmine blend very harmonious and leave a sweet and delicate trail wherever I go! The base, with the sandalwood and warm amber makes this extremely sensual and sexy! Very beautiful in hot weather, day and night. If this little beauty will bloom in fall and winter as well, it will be my signature for sure! Keywords: Exquisite – breathtaking feminine - sexy

Heady, sumptuous, indolic white flowers. One of the best from Al Rehab. First gust and I'm hit with bubbly citrus and creamy, golden flower nectar. "Bubble gum" tuberose, fruity orange blossom, jasmine petals dipped in honey. A subtle touch of something metallic like Mugler Alien, I think aldehydes. Wafts of soft pink rose & smooth, round carnation. Soapy sandalwood and powdery, warm spices peaking through the nectar and flower petals. The transition from the florals to the ambery vanillic base is seamless. Thoroughly lovely. Strong. Long lasting. As a $6 white floral perfume oil, it far and away exceeds expectation. Better than a lot of modern designer options in this category, and a fraction of the price. It smells so much nicer than you might presume. I'm pleased to wear it. Per the scent comparisons: It's fruitier, sweeter, and less vanillic than Organza, but it's a great catchall dupe for the many reformulated & discontinued 90s amber florals. Highly recommended.

i definitely get a pink flowery bubblegum vibe from this. there's a soft spice to it that really grounds it. pink, fluffy clouds = my ultimate happy place image and i see what people are saying when they say this smells like pink clouds! i've noticed with all the al rehab perfumes i've tried that they really shine in the dry down! sometimes the openings can be too strong for me and i need to wait for it to calm down to enjoy it. i like to apply these oils an hour before i need to leave to go out (if i'm wearing them out! i wear them inside too.) to really let the smell develop. :) honestly i got this oil months ago and have left it untouched since i have a bad habit of using a lot. i took it out again to experiment yesterday. just a dab without rolling of the roller ball is perfect since otherwise i'm overtaken by the smell and almost feel sick. this is definitely not weak stuff. i plan on getting the spray version because i love it so much now.

Yes, I went down the Fragrantica rabbit hole and found Nebras and purchased roller. It arrived an hour ago. Best thing I could have done this year. I have never worn Arabic oil. Only Indian attars, which last very long as well. But Nebras!!!! OMG. It is beautiful what can I say. It's fresh, powdery and floral. It makes you feel like you are standing in middle of botanical garden filled with every scented flower you can think of. A little goes a long way. I just put one dab on wrist and rubbed wrist together. One dab on neck and back of my knees. My bedroom is lit up! But in a good way. It has only been one hour and it just a very feminine, clean and pretty fragrance. I don't get the old lady reference mention throughout the comments. I get classy, sophistication and well groomed woman vibes. Now I have to purchase all of the Al Rehab products line to see what I have been missing out on.

<3 Oh my goodness. I ordered both oil and spray and it is freaking divine (sampled only the rollerball so far, since the bottle didn’t arrive yet). Potent, timeless, potpourri vibes here. Suits an aristocrat likewise to a bourlesque artist or a cheeky lolita (which I am). It is galore feminine and zero tomboyish. It is a bit tamer dupe of the super sultry Boudoir, lacking the tobacco note. I also think that it really depends on aesthetic, attitude and the character of the wearer regarding some associations cause it can be easily dissonant due to its richness. Boudoir is more seductive yet Nebras is equal alluring. I adore it. Update: EXTREME potpourri load, especially the spray, which doesn’t sit nicely on me, but the oil is fantastic, it has the soapiness of Boudoir, only the spice and BO accord is retained here - you can amp it up with another oil from the house which contains oud.

I have a little collection of Al-Rehab perfumes that I've bought from Amazon or the Al-Rashad website (where Amazon get theirs). Nebras is my favorite with Wigdam coming in second. Everyone has described Nebras beautifully. The attars are not familiar scents to me so I have to buy them to try them. For me it depends on the oudh content, if it's too strong it will not work with my skin. On the Al-Rashad.com website you can get a description of most of their perfumes if you click on Al-Rehab oils, pick one like you are going to buy it, then scroll down the page and there is the list with the ingredients. I think Nebras is the one attar that most Western women would fall in love with. It's definitely worth the under $4 price, (shipping usually costs more than the perfume). Try it, especially for the summer. A light touch because they get stronger as you get warmer.

Warm, soft, musky carnation. The rose is supporting. The citrus is there but stays muted. Lovely and sweet. What makes it really interesting is that I get a minty breeze wafting throughout the florals. Is that what people describe as bubblegum? Smells very powdery pink and old fashioned to me. Kind of relaxing. This is in no way one of those rude "smells like a granny perfume" comments, but immediately Nebras reminded me of something my Grandma wore. She had wonderful taste in perfume, and introduced me to most of my first fragrances. I don't know which perfume this reminds me of, but it is classy and softly powerful and oozes feminine comfort. Kind of a glamour scent in my opinion. I get a vintage-y vision of lady in her silky dressing gown in front of her vanity dabbing on creams and beauty products. I layered this with Red Rose.... winning combo!!!

This is my third Al-Rehab and my first success with this brand. This one is lovely. I have this in an oil and the first whiff is mostly bitter citrus with a slight hint of flowers. But it quickly becomes a pink, powdery, flowery cloud. So, so pretty!! It smells a bit vintage, in the best way. The way that brings to mind my grandma sitting at her vanity, powdering her face and neck with Chantilly or White Shoulders dusting powder. It smells sweet too. While hanging out with my family this past weekend, my aunt (the same aunt who asked me if I was drinking in the car when I wore Drew Barrymore's Radiant Flower to Christmas ....hahaha!) looks around the room and said "Does anyone else smell cotton candy?" It was the Nebras. It is not sickeningly sweet in a way that hurts your teeth it just smells kinda warm and yummy. This one is amazing!
