Vanilla Musk

This is a sweet, smoky versatile vanilla. On me, the smoky bit comes shining through right at the beginning and stays alongside the vanilla and musk. This is great for layering and inexpensive enough to buy multiples to have handy. It only lasts a few hours on me and the sillage is moderate but I think it's still one of Al-Rehabs unsung heroes, usable all year round in any weather. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, it only comes in the tiny 3ml dispenser. As someone else said, it is not like Coty Vanilla Musk, which I used to wear a lot when I was younger and loved. I think this one is a bit sweeter and, as I said before, has the smoky accord on me. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle.

Surprisingly soft sillage and short longevity on this particular Al Rehab may be a disappointment for some. To me, it's an ideal vanilla for gifting the perfume-shy, and also a lovely choice for layering or application in confined spaces. Totally wearable! NOT ONE BIT like Coty's Vanilla Musk, just in case anyone is wondering... or any other vanilla that comes to mind, for that matter. More like a creamy, simple vanilla with a touch of - banana?! Yes, if only for the first minute, I smell banana pudding quite strongly. Then the soft, creamy vanilla takes over, complete with a mere Touch of smoke, which may be oud. The smoke is so faint that not everyone will notice, but I love it! At this point it reminds me slightly of a much toned down version of 'Smoke and Mirrors' by Alkemia. No contest as to which smells more expensive or unique - Alkemia wins hands down. But I am not at all sorry to have purchased this 3 ml. cutie off Al Rashad. Those of us who love soft vanilla have a tiny treat awaiting them!

It's basically Choco Musk but without the chocolate in it. It really is the perfect vanilla layering base if you just want to add some vanilla to any other perfume. I usually roll on this first and then layer any other of my perfumes on top of this. Great to play around with. Cost me $2... nothing to complain about. Works well alone too if you want a subtle vanilla skin scent.

Smells nice...I suppose. What little of it I can actually detect. I can barely tell it's on my skin and no one around me can either. I'd say to save your money and try another musk.

Soft yet very sweet vanilla and quite a bit of musk. Reminds me of Bootzie oil made in Maui, but far cheaper.
