Rabab Blue

I have this and I got compliments for it. It's a sweet but floral blue scent. Citrus in the opening, and then stays floral. I'd say it's quite bright peachy floral citrus. I have another from zimaya that smells similar, the fatima velvet love, purple one. That one is a bit more airy and lighter, but still peachy floral. Overall it's a great perfume and lasts forever on clothes. This one is rather feminine, even if it's classes as unisex. I do love it when it's its time. 😊

This isn't an Erba Pura dupe at all. It had its own accords which I actually love. The only similarity is you can definitely make out it's middle eastern DNA. I put it on yesterday and could still smell the dry down scent this morning. It's such good value for money we are thinking of getting a second bottle. This perfume has probably been one of my favourite blind purchases ever.

Please let this mature before wearing in public. The level of synthetic on my first few sprays had me deeply regretting this purchase. It was screeching and exhausting. My nose literally went numb on my first few sprays. But I let it sit for three months and I’m back to it for a test drive. It is fruity, slightly syrupy, and clean. Maybe this is what a basket of fruits smell like to others but I smell pear, apple, melon, and powdery freshness. Sillage is absolute shit with normal sprays so if you want to project, you’ll have to layer with ambroxin or overspray quite heavily. My final thought is, great value for the scent but you MUST give it time to mature (aka ‘macerate’).

A nice fruity-sweet budget fragrance for someone looking for a freshy that isn’t just another ADG clone! It can lean feminine, so I wouldn’t recommend as a blind buy for men. If you do purchase, make sure you give it some time to mature, something about the ME dupes just always makes them need some time to blossom.

Blind buy for £15 (haven't tried the OG - Erba Pura). This is a very Summer daytime frag, unisex but slightly feminine leaning. Fresh, fruity turning flowery and musky. Easy wear for holidays, etc but not formal. For the price its a bargain.
