Rawan

It reminds me Of my old favourite Rome by Laura Biagiotti, I thought my main attraction to Rome was some spicy element but the common ingredients are: Sandalwood, Amber, Jasmine, Vanilla. I will need to use this for some time to find out what’s going on here, who knows a new favourite? ( add black currant and maybe hyacinth elsewhere...although there are list of items in Rome that I don’t know how they smell on their own... scent journey continues..mysteries unravelling... Edit: few hours later after applying it on my arm, it was smelling classy and something you would wear like for a job interview in the early hours, now the Rome scent has receded quite a lot and has metamorphosed into more like a manly scent, I’m now thinking this would be better for a man unless I layered it, also it seems to smell stronger now than originally maybe because of the male scent has come out. It’s not a bad scent but it’s not like Rome anymore it’s a scent of its own and rather masculine >unisex that I could still wear but would probably have to experiment with layering but not sure with what... also it’s almost turned into headache inducing, what a strange development in the scent. It’s probably again the case of attar,where you need to let it mature and grow on you gradually and familiarise oneself with patiently. It’s not a write-off, at least yet. Note to self: apply just a tiny amount!!!

I agree that al rehab fragrances are little treasures and there are numerous al rehabs that I like.rawan is among my most favorite al rehabs list.I simply love it! I also own and love D&G pour femme and while I can easily detect similarities,I don't see them as twins.I can easily recognize which is which.pour femme is more marshmallowy and fluffy while rawan is more creamy and has more fruity undertone specially when first sprayed.it becomes closer to D&G pour femme in it's drydown as it gets a tad powdery I highly recommend all gourmand lovers,also vanilla lovers to try rawan.it's sweet but not childish and it's delightful. it's wearable year round except hot summer days and is more feminine IMO.longevity is very good and sillage is satisfying.it's only downside is that I usually have difficulty in spraying my bottle of rawan but other than that everything's great.it could pass as a feminine xerjofff! Edit: Longevity isn't just very good.it's extraordinary!it lasts 2days plus on my skin! Creamy vanilla,soft powdery deliciousness which lasts for ages,it worthes a hunderd times more than it's price tag!

I have it in 50ml bottle with spray. it really smells like D&G Pour Femme but I like Rawan even better! I can't detect most of the mentioned notes. just a cloud of fluffy vanilla, marshmallow, some orange flower and just a touch of nondescript fruits. I find D&G Pour Femme more powdery and it's raspberry note sometimes feels too synthetic. Rawan feels more balanced and more expensive smelling! which is ironic. also longevity and sillage are much better بشدت شبیه دی اند جی پورفم هست ولی بهتر و بالانس تر. شیرینی سبک و پنبه ای مارشمالو و وانیل درکنار شکوفه پرتقال و یه رایحه محو میوه ای طور. خیلی دوس داشتنی و همه پسند و خوش بازخورده. موندگاری و پخش بوش هم از دی اند جی پورفم بهتره

This is really nice! My sniff test said vanilla, twangy fruit and floral...I was pretty close! Passion fruit is tangy, kind of citrusy but sweet. I'm surprised this is described as unisex though. It is pretty feminine. I'm pretty sure my man would not agree to wear it if asked. Overall, it's a love for me..as mentioned before, you don't have to swim through the medicinal oud or resins to get to the heart. ❤️

** This review is for Rayan Black (not listed)** Rayan Black is potent, sweet and lovely. It's like a blend of Mugler's A*men, Animale Animale and Ted Lapidus' pour Lui. Very cheap on Amazon too. It lasts all day and had excellent sillage. Well worth a try!

I've had this fragrance for about a year and a half. I also have dolce and gabanna pour femme, the two are identical! Unfortunately I've gone off d&g pour femme a bit but when I was really into it I would always smear loads of this on to make it last

Let this one develop on your skin. You get a layer of tropical jam, then you get a layer of delicious marzipan, then a layer of shortbread cookie. Basically that's the sequence of the Rawan. I get 5-6 hours. Perfect for summer. Enjoy

Dear Fragrantica team,please add al rehab khallab to your data base.it's one of the greatest al rehabs out there.something like a super delicious smokey caramelized vanilla.sultry and a bit dark

I bought Rawan because reviewers mentioned it's similarity to D&G femme. At this inexpensive price tag for these great oils, definitely this was worth a try. I really like Rawan and like other Al Rehabs, it is growing on me the more I wear it. I'm finding that snap decisions "do not a proper over-all opinion make" as I've found with many other perfumes I own. Then I noticed that Rawan was likened to the current D&G femme formulation and that many mentions of marshmallows were noted. The D&G femme of my experience had not so much marshmallow but THAT BASIL thing was what grabbed me! Wow-zuh it was good stuff. This was the late 90's when I first smelled D&G femme on a friend from Boston. I ended up buying a mini gift set. So that being said, Rawan does perhaps recapture the essence of the newer D&G which I have not smelled yet. As I wore Rawan the last time (in oil formula) I could kind -of-sort-of grasp a bit of that picture of how this reaches into that territory. Six degrees of separation perhaps. In and of itself, I'm starting to go from like to love on Rawan and if it follows suit with my other purchases like Golden Sand and Fantastic and Choco-Musk it will become a much loved regular perfume in my rotation.

Rawan is very very sweet. I would guess vanilla custard first, followed by some fruit, maybe guava, maybe that "vanilla orchid" note, but predominately sugary and with a headache strength that truly nauseated me on the first wearing. The next time I tried it I layered just a tiny bit down on my leg, away from my face, and it added a tropical sweetness to my citrusy scent that was nice and not cloying as it was before. Still I have to be careful with this one. This is a familiar scent, so I have no doubt it is probably a dupe for the D&G, but I haven't directly sampled it. Just guessing it is since it smells familiar to my scent memory. In fact, right before I got a splitting headache, I thought, "Smells like a rich girl." While I think this is a quality, potent perfume, it is too sweetly cloying for me, especially in summer. It works as a layering scent though, and if sweet tropical sounds good to you, these Al-Rehab oils are really worth the try.

sweet raspberry donut with citrus glaze! I know there's no raspberry listed in the notes here, but I get a lotttt of it throughout the wear of this perfume (could it be the passionfruit? who knows, it's beautiful either way). there's a powdery vanilla here that is really enjoyable, almost like baby lotion or something. like other reviewers, my bottle is dated 2014 & arrived to me leaking, but it smells normal; I can smell the carrier oil itself underneath the fragrance, but it doesn't smell old or expired to me...maybe it's just a manufacturer issue? I put some on to try before I went to bed, and I can still smell it on me after waking up. i know it's popular to layer perfumes on top of oils like this one, but honestly I think this does a better job on its own (if only it were made in a perfume spray!). I got my rollerball for about $7, and for that price it really can't be beat.

This is a sweeter, smoother take on D&G Pour Femme. I did a side by side test and preferred Rawan. D&G Pour Femme was one of the first mainstream perfumes that got my attention as a perfume newbie. Around that time I bought Escada Cherry in the Air, I liked Angel EDT, was obsessed with Bond I Love NY For Her, and desperately desired Tom Ford Noir de Noir. My tastes and tolerances have changed quite a bit. I have a great dupe of NdN, but the rest of those fragrances I might crave once or twice a year. Pour Femme is just harsh to my nose. A bit too high pitched. Rawan softens the harsh edges but keeps the unmistakeable characteristic scent--fluffy, sweet, a bit chilly.

Beautiful! Not a what I'd consider a 'traditional' Arabian fragrance as I don't detect any oud, resins, or spices in here. But as other reviewers pointed out, it is very reminiscent of D & G Pour Femme, or even more so of Jeanne Arthes Fuel Power, if you're familiar with that one. It opens with bright orange/citrusy notes and then softens quickly into a creamy tropical dessert. I plan on layering this under Fuel Power to give it better longevity. Delicious!

A tart little dessert. People are saying macaroons—I’ve never had one so I don’t know but it sounds right! Sweet with a little tartness, not too creamy. I feel like this would layer beautifully with Yara, maybe the orchid in both of them? I don’t know my flowers but I smell a little bit of floral, very feminine. I like it a lot and will be testing it more in the heat this summer

This is a cute scent. After the olive oil type opening it blossoms into, just what a previous commenter says a beautiful macaroon. I just had my first experience with macaroons, and when I put this on it took me back to my first bite into the dark purpley pink one😋 this is delicious, and perfect for casual fun or cozy nights in. Def a keeper.

The opening is kind of pungent (like most Al-Rebab oils) but after 10 minutes I get a puffy sweet marshmallow with a hint of almond, like a vanilla macaroon almost. I like to layer it with other perfumes to add sweetness and longevity. The projection is not strong but longevity is 5+ hours.

Rawan is a lovely soft scent! The vanilla and powder notes are definitely the stars here, creating a warm and comforting aura. It's sweet but not overly sugary, with a touch of fruitiness from the passionfruit that adds a nice brightness. Perfect for everyday wear.

I've tried about twenty Al-Rehab roll-ons and Rawan is one of the few that I really like. Comfortingly sweet.

Quite nice. Sweet almond fruity. Not offensive. Super affordable.

This, to me, is a clone of Dolce & Gabbana's Pour Femme. The translucent burgundy bottle. The difference is Rawan is oily & more cloying. *Shout-out to 'Omae'* If you are trying to extend the life on your D&G and don't mind rich sweetness. Here she is. Thank for adding it Fragrantica and 'drugtore classics for deciphering what's what.
