by Al-Rehab
Al-Rehab's Original is a bold, moss-heavy fragrance with a strong oakmoss presence that dominates the composition. It features a spicy, aromatic core with herbal and slightly sweet elements that give it a unique, almost Christmassy warmth reminiscent of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg—not unlike a gourmand version of old-school barbershop scents. The scent is most accurately described as a cool, forest-like oakmoss with hints of citrus and myrrh, leaning masculine but widely accessible for unisex wear. Longevity is impressive, often lasting over ten hours, placing it far ahead of many mainstream EDPs in performance despite its low price. While some find it refreshing and clean like Lifebuoy soap, others describe it as aggressive, astringent, or even smelling like a cleaning product due to its sharp, soapy character. Still, it holds a cult following among fans of vintage, oriental-fougere scents, particularly those drawn to the classic, challenging fragrances of the 1980s.
