Red Rose

This review is for the 6ml rollon oil. I purchased this at my local Arabian perfume store, gave it away, then purchased it again. It's so not me, and yet I'm compelled to own it and wear it (which I'm doing again today). Primarily, this is a great fragrance for layering . . . at least for me. I love to layer these oils, and this is a definite "Western" scent from this fantastic maker of budget oils. As with all of the Al-Rehab oils I've ever used, these bloom better in a bit of heat (rather in the winter or the AC). In the AC, it leans a bit medicinal and steryl. But this is exactly what I think of when I think of a makeup scent. It's probably the only makeup scent I've ever really enjoyed. I'm talking a straight powdery, slightly scented, non-sweet compact that broke open inside my handbag and makes the whole thing and everything inside smell like this. I get the rose, and I even get the illusion of vanilla, but I get those secondarily. The most notable part of this scent is the powder. Thinking it was going to behave and be fairly light, I put a generous double layer of oil on, rubbing it in after each application. In hindsight, I could probably have used one application (on my chest and neck) and it would have been plenty. But I don't feel that it was overwhelming. I chose this perfume because I was going to be teaching in a fairly small room, one-on-one music lessons. I briefly wondered if it would bother my student, but she seemed fine with it (and this is a student I've spoken to about perfume before, so she would probably have mentioned if it bothered her or if she really noticed it). I assume it smelled stronger to me because it is so close to my nose. This is a clean and crisp scent, but also has warmth to it. I think it would layer well with Dalal or Soft or other sweet-leaning scents. It would probably also be quite nice with a leathery or vintage floral scent. But on its own, it's quite effective as well. I'm very happy that I own this.

Extremely strong & long lasting!! It's very calm & will envelop you slowly with a pleasant bearable smell that will stick to you for minutes if you talked to someone wearing it & left. Why bearable? Because unlike sprays that have been mixed with alcohol, perfume oils doesn't have that unbearable opening blast. Red Rose smells like a very pleasant body lotion-type of smell with a very strong rose mixed with vanilla equally. The balance is beautiful and smells very mature, sophisticated & womanly, perfect for evening dates. Projection: Fills a room during the first 4 to 5 hours. Then goes to an astounding arm's length for the rest of it's fragrance life. Sillage: It's so solid & thick that it just seems like it makes the air you breathe completely change into a more pleasant type of oxygen. Brush up on it slightly on yourself by passing by someone wearing it & you'll carry the scent for over 10 seconds. Can't notice a scent 'cloud' with it because it just seems to 'blend' with air and will slowly spread very far. Longevity: Lasts until you take a shower, and afterwards you'll still be able to pick up it's scent if you bury your nose onto the spots where you applied it. Versatility: 10 stars, seems to be suitable for any kind of occasion, like how you'll seem alluring in evenings wearing a dress having a candle-lit dinner. And will plainly seem pleasant and friendly during the daytime at work or school. Unisex but leaning WAY more towards females. Would probably suit men if they're the type that nurtures their gardens or whatever makes it seem not unusual for men to smell like this. It's mature, if you're still somewhat childish you'll only seem like you're wearing something that just doesn't fit your personality & that will put people off. Bought this in early 2014 :) It makes a lovely little souvenier or present for someone special.

My oil roll-on arrived this morning. I already own many Al Rehab's, but this one escaped me before - don't know how! As I already had my chosen perfume applied before this arrived, I gave the back of my hand a couple of swipes with this and rubbed it in. For a start, it was a little metallic, but within 10 minutes, that wore off, and a soft, sweet violet started to creep through. I have to say, I was surprised as I expected rose. I went out shopping in a very brisk, cold wind and all I could smell was sweet violets wafting around me; it was lovely. By the time I returned home, the perfume had amped up and I couldn't smell my original perfume at all. The violet had gone creamy and powdery and some white flowers had joined in. Still no rose. I don't know what Kenzo Flower smells like, and I don't care. This is delightful and my new favourite Al Rehab. Update: I found the rose, hiding around 10 hours in, very soft and gentle, like a will o'the wisp of roses. February 9th: Have ordered 2 more roll-on oils of this - I've nearly used all my first one ad I really can't be without this one. I think this was made just for me. Just a note for anyone looking for a true rose perfume: I have never found one more pure than Paul Smith Rose. I always get compliments on it, and I only wear it in the spring and summer, but it's the best rose perfume I've ever come across. Just off to order some more Red Rose from Al Rehab.

Beautiful, delightful scent. It's clean but slightly sweet, it is quite strong and lasts for hours on end. Despite being super cheap, it is of high quality. It's powdery and soapy. It's like an expensive laundry detergent but better. The rose is certainly there. I love this type of scent. My job involves being physically close to many people all the time so I make sure to smell good while avoiding offensive scents. This is exactly the type of scent that works great for me. However, some of the liquid in my bottle seemed to evaporate over time. I knew how often I used it and how many sprays I usually used. It was very bizarre and frustrating. I also have "Sultan" and it seems to have the same problem. I just want to be able to enjoy all of it. This is the only reason I wouldn't repurchase. Other than that, it is a stunning fragrance that is really easy to like. I hope to find something similar one day. It is also very dear to me because I got it a month before the pandemic completely ruined everything. I miss not being extremely mentally ill. This fragrance takes me back to the times I had no idea how dire things would get.

I absolutely love Red rose and have searched all around for a bottle in Ohio when I ran out, I don't go for names or price if it works it works...That being said this works for me and not because of the price. This scent is feminine and has a slight sweet but powdery note which I adore! The main thing that drew me to this fragrance was yhat is was lite and non offensive and could be worn as an everyday scent, My body chemistry loves this fragrance and so does my nose, I don't smell much vanilla but I do get whiffs here and there combined with a light powdery note which keeps this scent going strong all day without having to spray more, The sillage on me is good Incan smell it in my clothes and on my skin the next day. Ths perfume can be worn all year around, it has a nice fresh pleasant smell but not soapy or laundry. I absolutely adore it♡

For the 6 ml roll-on oil. First try: Couldn't wait, took a first sniff from the roller-ball: freshly ground rosépepper with a nip of white pepper and cloves, along with carnation, violets and quite powerful powdery notes. On my skin initially: spicy Rosépepper again, along with carnation and violets, and powdery notes. After about 30 mins. Lovely creamy amber, powdery notes, violets and a whisk of white musk. In the background, almost hovering a few feet from my arm, a faint rose note. Stays like this for a few hours. Up until 8-9 hrs longevity, sillage moderate and at the end with very pleasant skin scent of white musk, faint rose and vanilla. A very pleasant experience throughout. Second and third try: OMG! I am totally in love with this, especially the rose hovering over my arm. Love it! First Al-Rehab try, but definitely not my last.

I am so pleased I found this fragrance. It has cemented its place as one of my favourites, comparable to expensive fragrances at a tiny fraction of the price. I have the oil version and the longevity is amazing. This is such a sweet, delightful and deep rose smell that made me love rose scents again (sorry Aqua Allegoria Rosa Pop but you ruined me for a bit). I adore the subtle hint of vanilla that makes this softly creamy. The comparisons to Flower by Kenzo are spot on! I wore Kenzo as a signature scent in my twenties, and this is definitely the lighter, more all-occasions version of it. I find this scent to be a warm yet light comforting rose. Sweet but not sickly or syrupy. Soft yet with great presence. It’s a straight up love for me, and it’s nice that it doesn’t break the bank like so many of my other loves.

Love! This is indeed very similar to Kenzo Flower, but Red Rose is softer, sweeter - and safer. Whether you like this twist on Kenzo or not, depends on your personal taste. Personally, I like it, although I find Kenzo has more character, but also a potential to be overwhelming and headache-inducing. I wore Red Rose in the evening and to bed last night, and I could still smell it in the morning. I practically smeared myself with it: wrists, neck, behind the ear, the back of my head below the hairline - but it never felt too heavy. It remains soft and enveloping like a powdery cloud. Sadly, for me it doesn't have big sillage. I am considering purchasing the spray version, because based on the reviews here it is supposed to have more sillage. This review is for the oil.

Totally loving this... I should have said yes earlier when someone offered to swap this with me.. well I think they said it just smells of rose, and that kind of put me off. But now that I have tried this out, I can say that for my nose that isn't exactly correct. It more smells of sweet rose powder which is a totally different thing. I am reminded of Ombre Rose a little, but I find Red Rose more vanilla ish and sweeter and less aldehydic (not sure if any Al Rehabs use aldehydes at all). Update: meanwhile I have also surrended to buying Kenzo Flower EDP and I must say that Al Rehab Red Rose is a pretty good approximation. Red Rose is less complex, it resembles the dry down phase of Flower in my opinion.

This is incredibly powdery, dry, pure powder. The scent of "feeling clean and well-groomed". Kind of sweet, but only little... It is indeed reminescent of cosmetic products for babies, but sometimes it also smells like pages of old glossy magazines to me. I remember the scent from the past. I love it, it has something addictive to it. It seems to be quite potent, but I love wearing it before sleep anyway. I have the perfume oil, roll on version. UPDATE: This became my go-to-perfume for wearing at home. :) Very comforting, pure aromatherapy. I can smell it around myself as day goes by.

J'adorais Flower by Kenzo, le parfum signature de ma mère qui m'évoquais des souvenirs heureux. Un parfum simple et coquet dans lequel je retrouvais mes notes préférées. Malheureusement, j'ai l'impression que la composition de ce parfum iconique a changé. Il laisse une odeur tenace de plastique qui me monte à la tête et me donne la nausée. J'avais entendu parler de Red Rose comme un très bon dupe de FbK, avant le changement de composition. Eh bien je ne suis pas déçue! Je retrouve tout le plaisir et la nostalgie de FbK sans la note industrielle plastiquée. Je recommande ce parfum!

I had before Kenzo-Flower but I wasn`t crazy about it just because I am a fan of very strong perfumes. After I`ve read some reviews I purchased a roll of Red rose -AL rehab to see if I like and if really resemble with Kenzo...and is the same...maybe a bit stronger and I adore it from the moment I applied it. Now I purchased 2 bottles of 35ml spray of AL rehab just because I like more to sprayed on me than the oils....and for sure I will buy the original as well because is an amazing perfume, but maybe when I owned I was way too young.

Когда я его открыла, то подумала что уже сталкивалась с этим ароматом где-то в детсве. Именно в качестве парфюмерии, а не отдушки. Где мы встречались раньше я так и не поняла, но они навеяли воспоминания о первом разрезанном торте. Когда ты маленький, мама помогает резать торт, но когда тебе лет пять, мама прзволяет разрезать самостоятельно. Тот торт был в виде медведя (вроде торта - черепашки, плоский медведь) весь в кремовых цветах. Эти масляные кремовые зелёные листики имели схожий аромат.

The reviewer below me is very right, this does smell like the classic nivea crémé but i love it nevertheless. I'd prefer it for using at home or at night (when used sparingly). Its a clean girl scent for sure, i dont get any grandma associations. Comforting, pretty and i-got-my-shi-together vibes. I know and love the classic kenzo flower, but its not an exact dupe. I'd say its a sweeter and creamier version of it. Very inoffensive scent, office girlies can give it a go for sure.

If you love 2000s makeup scents, get this. A simple and sexy *EXTREMELY POWDERY sweet rose* scent, vanilla plays well with the powder, and the musk leaves a long trail behind you. As I described it, nothing else, which is not a bad thing at all. :) Very long lasting, for me, as it fights well with the hot weather where I live. But I can see it performing well in whichever season or time. I'm absolutely going to repurchase this beautiful bottle again.<3

i was searching for a scent that smells like that nostalgic cabbage patch dolls, and this is it. its perfect it starts off very strong and heavy, like incense, plastic, and a little rose with sweetness, but the dry down is amazing. it truly smells like baby powder with a vanilla hint to it and a slight floral thats not that noticeable. if you like baby powder scents or want to smell like a cabbage patch doll, this is perfect for you. i love it

Just got it today in spray bottle and i smell so identical with enchanteur powder that my mom used to use everyday. Not bad thing in fact i really love this smell, i just kinda not prepare it will smell so identical to enchanteur powder. I think its excellent for 'after shower you dont want to go anywhere and just want lay in your bed' kinda perfume, it makes you feel soft, comfort, and cozy. (maybe because the powder image so strong)

Hidden Gem ALERT ! ( if you enjoy powdery fragrances.) This fragrance is beautiful and delicate. Initially when I applied the oil it smelled like baby powdered scented baby wipes, BUT then I let it sit for a week or so I reused it and it smelled lovely. You can literally smell the roses and vanilla. It's sweet and powdery. I had to buy the perfume spray. Layer this w eos vanilla cashmere n thank me later

Recently got sample of kenzo flower. I fell in love. Checked for dupe on fragrantica and got myself red rose. It smells EXACTLY the same. It's bright and powdery rose scent. You'll get none of that jammy or scratchy rose you get in every other rose scent. Gives vintage, but it's very relaxing and comforting. I love to spray it after shower. Lasts about 3hrs, after that becomes a skin scent.

I see this oil reminds many of Flower by Kenzo. I never had it and I didn't liked it when I was testing it in parfum shop, but Red Rose oil is the one that I really like. Great for evening events and dates. One of the favourite of Al Rehab. P. S. I thought it's great for evening events but after my last wearing this oil, I understood it's just a day time scent :))
