About this deal

Today my sister in love asked me to give her a perfume so that she could wear on a party where she was going to also meet her date.she forgot to bring her own.she hates sweet fragrances(unlike me)and only likes very fresh,very citrusy or aquatic scents(unlike me).lovely was sitting right in front of me so it was the first thing that came to my mind.after spraying it she cried out:girl this stuff is sweeet!it smells like your other perfume,sweet like candy by ariana grande.it's going to kill me with headache!

I agree that it has a misleading name.in my mother tongue(persian) bakhour is:vaporized water with a humidifier which is used for refreshing skin and cleansing pores.also sometimes they pour drops of herbals like lavender drops or ocaliptous in it to help curing cold.on the other hand it makes me think of oud,incense,myrrh but Al Rehab bakhour is nothing about herbals or oudThis 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. I can't find right words to explain how much I enjoyed this pretty,yummy,super feminine scent.indeed lovely and though very similar,I like it even more than "sweet like candy".longevity doesn't pass moderate but it's not faint.I'm happy with it's sillage.

Wirt notes that Bakhour smells like 'artificially sweetened incense'. That's not a bad description as bakhoor is just that: incense that comes in the form of oil soaked wooden chips usually burned on top of heated charcoal. It's often used to perfume clothes, being a fragrance layer in its own right. 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. It does smell better on the skin that it does straight from the bottle, like most other Al Rehab oils. It has a slightly musky drydown, less so than my other oils, but the muskiness does present itself. Unfortunately, by the time it's drying into something other than a Febreze dupe, the scent is pretty much gone. Sillage is also minimal, unless you use a quarter of the bottle right after a shower. I knew it was going to be a light scent when I bought it, though.It took me ages to get around to writing this review. Why? Because I didn't know for sure WHICH attar I had! The little label is extremely similar to that of Crystal and partly worn away at that. Neither am I particularly fluent in Arabic, alas. ;) This is such a polarising scent. I have no idea how to describe it in tangeable terms, besides the fact that on my first whiff all I could smell was orange and yeast or some sort of dough. After applying it however I barely smell any of that anymore, it's very rancid indeed, acid reflux-y smells somewhat uplifting and comforting but in the "you're crying and idk how to make you feel better and the more I say the worse I make it, but you appreciate the fact I'm at least trying" type of way. very weird and experimental frag. there's a dozen of Al Rehab perfumes which I love and this is among them. BTW I have it in 35 mil spray bottle. I wanted to fall in love with this like many other reviewers, but to be blunt, it's a dead ringer for Febreze. Most people in the US are familiar with Febreze, the spray air freshener/odor eliminator.

I must warn, though that to reach the beautiful dry down of Bakhour, you have to get past the initial brassy cheapness of the first hour, which I loathe. Some of these Al-rehabs can turn out to be gems after it develops, but it seems that all of them have a strong, intense, often unpleasant beginning.This very delicious and intense stage is with me for an hour or two.then sweetness calms down a lot.fruits fade away,flowers dry down to a soft floral powder and I can mostly smell benzoin,sandalwood and amber.warm and clean and sensual and more refined comparing to the recent syrupy sweet floral-fruity-vanilla level.I enjoy it's dry down too Al Rehab, established in 1975, have taken upon their shoulders the responsibility of providing high-quality perfumes with their slogan being ‘quality at affordable prices for all’. Made in UAE. Note - For those ready to give up on Al Rehab entirely, please consider trying Choco Musk, Soft, Sandra, Lovely, and Fantastic. Those with 'masculine' taste should try Space, U2 Man, Dakar, and Al Fares. These are more western in style. ALL will give you very good value. The latter most of all. :) It's a creamy kind of scent, like high quality triple milled soap with a middle eastern twist, or a pretty lotion. Feminine, Arabian, but mostly just likable rather than challenging.

You decide! There is no way Mokhalat will appeal to those unfamiliar with middle eastern attars, but if you're willing to take your time and have an adventure, Mokhalat is the 'funky' Al Rehab I recommend. It's best in hot weather and layers well with the equally unusual Aroosah. Plus (if you live in the west) you're almost guaranteed to smell like nobody else you know.Indeed very close to Britney Spears Fantasy, so this review is more of a comparison of these two. The opening is about the same, very bright, sweet and fruity with a tart kiwi note. I think the kiwi is a little more rounded and less sour than in Fantasy. I don't know about pre-reformulated Fantasy, if I ever smelled that it must have been over a decade ago. Fantastic is also a little more floral than Fantasy, but these are only minor differences, so I thought that Fantastic is pretty much just a dupe.
