About this deal

But when I woke up after sampling this for the first time the evening before, I smelled a creamy, vanilla-infused musk instead of the cupcake-vanilla in Fantasy. More perfumey than the baked goods drydown of the original. I tried it two more times and always got the same result, in the final drydown Fantastic becomes its own fragrance.

The nicest thing about many Arabian scents? Their layerability! Having the 'oud' note in common seems to help this considerably. Organdy is no exception. In place of the greens in Organza, this little darling contains oud! It's TRULY a middle eastern take on a classic. Best of all, I can layer it beautifully with my new favorite oud scent - Jovan Intense Oud - creating a rich and cheerful aroma. The combination is both lively and seductive. The rose is very gently coming through, along with some more 'garden', and a lovely, light jasmine. I would imagine that this wears quite close to the skin, which is no bad thing, and needs to be kept away from the public for the first 30 minutes.

Perfume oil Soft by Al Rehab

Though its gourmand, sweet and strong fragnance, it does not last very long, at least not what you would have expected from sweet and gourmand fragnance. I guess its about 5-6 hours, but on the clothes it lasts a few days.

Susan is Friday nights in 1993 and is pure nostalgia in a tiny bottle. A powerhouse, but still, slightly gentler than its juggernaut of a sister; this won't harangue those Saturday morning hangovers when you're up for work at six even though you didn't get in til gone two. Something I definitely would have welcomed thirty (THIRTY?!?!) years ago.Al-Nourus from Al-Rehab with fragrance features peach, mango, melon, lime, white musk, white lily and iris flower for Women. To the perfume: first feeling is caramel together with some citrus chords. Later it becomes more smoothy, "creamy" (if it can be said about this piece, well) and caramel becomes more and more beautiful. There are of course (expecially in the beginning) some flower tones, which probably makes that "enourmous feeling" on the beginning, when its mixed with caramel (and maybe a little bit chocolate - but in this time, cant help myself, but I feel white chocolate). And on my skin, after a few hours, there can be felt: soft and creamy caramel + a little bit of white chocolate + citruses. When I first smelled this piece, I was quite sorry, because I bought it without previous trying and it was not quite something I expected. Sabaya has a distinctly feminine quality and yet isn’t the kind of scent that would prevent anyone from taking you seriously (and I wish that weren’t a thing, but oh well).

I also need to add I am not a huge fan of most florals as they fall flat and smell like a vase of wilted flowers with some mold thrown in on me. NB. I have re-applied this on it's own this afternoon, and I now know what it's about. I still get blown away by the opening, but after 10 minutes I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! (Sorry for the shout). This is my go-to choice when I can’t figure out what else to wear. It’s clean and I smell quite a bit of fresh ozone and a clean, nearly green floral. It’s not a perfume that projects very well, and people in your vicinity may remark on a good smell but I haven’t had anyone be able to pin it directly on me.This settles down quite nicely after the first >30 minutes smelling of very ripe banana-flavoured tuberose with a good measure of sugar on top, although that might be because I didn't let it settle after being delivered. I know from past experience, that these oils get very 'shook up' by the whole delivery process, and need to 'rest' for a few days before their real character shows. My bad, I can't wait to try a new one. So... I dont know if I will continue playing around with Susan. I may. My Amarige is getting really low and I am not in a position to buy more at the moment. We'll see. You have to know, this is very strong fragnance, gourmand, sweet and oriental. And its easy to be over-perfumed, again, when we talk about this bottle in the picture - only a half of a whole dose is enough. That doser gives quite a lot of a fragnance, so think about it. It's a Friday evening in 1993 and I'm in the toilets at work - a little second hand clothes store in Notting Hill - getting ready to head out into the night. I'm wearing MAC Spice lipliner topped with lashings of Carmex lipbalm from the imported beauty shop on Portobello Road and a pair of platform embroidered suede sandals, which earlier in the day Vivienne Westwood complimented me on when she was in buying an 80s rara skirt. Before I leave to hop on a bus to the West End, I douse myself in a cloud of effervescent tuberose/bug killer/juicy fruits that is Amarige. When I come into work in the morning, the cloud will still be hanging in the air, as indelible as the hangover I'll bring with me.
