Intrigued by other reviewers' assertions that this was a nice orange blossom scent, I hit the purchase button and eagerly awaited its arrival. I was so pleased to see it on my doorstep...opened the package, uncapped the bottle and took a sniff. Interesting. Pleasant enough at first but absolutely no hint of orange blossom. I dabbed some on the backs of my hands, just a few drops, thinking it might morph into the sought-after orange blossom aroma I was promised. That didn't happen, and the longer I kept it on, the more cloying, stinky-sweet and pervasively awful it became. I suffered through two hours of an appalling odor that I am at a loss to properly describe. Even after thoroughly washing my hands I could still smell it faintly. It's not just that it is cloying and overly sweet. There's something in it that truly stinks, like a public bathroom that was sprayed with chemical air freshener in a failed attempt to disguise the stench of uncleanliness.I think it may be that my skin's chemistry is not well suited to these Arab perfumes. I have tried several others from the Al-Rehab line and they didn't work for me either. These probably smell much better on darker complected people; I am about as Caucasian as they come - fair skin, blonde hair, light eyes. Sigh. I gave this one to a Peruvian friend and she seemed to like it, so I hope it works out for her.

This is a very sweet and spicy smell. It is extremely strong. This is what you would want and expect from a good middle eastern scent.

I waited to order this because i had other items on my perfume list. I finally ordered and when it arrived i couldn't wait to try it. The bottle is as pictured...very pretty and different so if you collect perfumes for the bottle this one will be a nice addition. Anyway now for the scent...it is a light powdery scent with a subtle floral on me, without much sillage. It is nice for a clean fresh out the shower smell. I use it at home when i just want to feel pretty in my pjs. I haven't worn it out and don't know if i will since it is so light. When i put this on with powder scented deodorant it just blends lolGlad i tried it but if tou really want to ty these oils go with the smaller round roll on bottles sold here on amazon by al rashad... Those smell awesome, strong and exotic
