Sultan Al Oud by ALREHAB PERFUMES

A beast in terms of performance in a bottle 😂. There’s nothing to add. It’s perfect for the cold, though it does sound a bit cloying to me. Everyone who has tried it has loved it, and it has fascinated me too. 💯% recommended 🕉️🕉️🕉️

Ideal for layering. I mix it with Yves Rocher’s ‘Cuir de Nuit’ (cacao, coffee, pink pepper and vanilla) and the combination is brilliant. As a unisex scent with a feminine leaning, it adds an oriental-gourmet touch. In the first two hours, it smells like spreadable chocolate with a subtle, masculine trail of oud. On their own, both are exquisite. Tip: if you have an autumn/winter perfume and want that ambroxan-oud base, buy it without hesitation.

Nothing like Black Afgano. If it resembles it at all, it’s only 40%, but the other Nasomatto is Pardon… The truth is, I sometimes use it for layering because, worn alone, it doesn’t have the power others expect.

Hello everyone, I wanted to write a review because some comments say this doesn’t smell of stable, sweat, lactic, or dairy farm as @JuanPasiones mentions. Sultan Al Oud is a woody, musky perfume with a slight touch of vanilla that makes it a good scent for any occasion; it is not invasive or unpleasant. To the people I have tried it on, it has never been disliked; they have loved it and even rubbed it onto their skin (the version I have tried and used is the roll-on oil). As with everything from AL-REHAB, this perfume has good longevity, trail, and projection. I understand that every nose is a world, but many comparisons seem wrong, such as comparing it to Black Afgano; there isn’t even a slight similarity. Well, there are people who review without having smelled the perfume and are content to leave their hatred on the page.

I ordered it from the US with a friend. I had high expectations; it’s the small roll-on, like an oil. It has enviable power and longevity, but the aroma didn’t suit me at all. I’ve used it three times and, unlike other difficult fragrances, this one arouses more rejection each time. It’s very linear, smelling the same from start to finish. The oud note has a medicinal and musty character, with a discrete floral base and another sweet-vanilla undertone that gives it a very strong milky aspect, like the smell of curing cheese. It reminds me a lot of a stable, even of fresh milk straight from the udder (here in Mexico we call it ‘bronca’ milk). It’s not unpleasant, but it’s conflicting: it smells of old stable wood with milk, which brings back memories of my adolescence on a farm. Perhaps I should wait until winter, use it at night in moments of relaxation, because I wore it to the office and couldn’t concentrate; the scent distracted me too much. I need to give it more chances, I want to find a liking for it, I’ve already tamed other beasts like One Man Show Gold edition, I must be able to handle this one too!

I ordered it from the US with a friend. I had good expectations; it’s the small roll-on, like an oil. It has enviable power and longevity. But the scent hasn’t pleased me; I’ve used it three times and, unlike with difficult-to-digest fragrances, each time I use it I feel greater repulsion. It is very linear; it smells the same at the beginning as at the end. The oud note expresses that medicinal, smoky (musty) character, with a discrete floral note and a sweet-vanilla note that give it a very strong milky aspect, like the smell of cheese ripening, I don’t know, it reminds me a lot of the smell of a stable, even of fresh milk straight from the udder (here we call it raw milk). I don’t want to say it’s unpleasant, but it feels conflicting to keep smelling that old stable wood with milk that brings back memories of my adolescence on a farm. Perhaps I should wait for winter, use it at night in moments of relaxation, not for the office because the scent distracts me too much. I must give it more opportunities, I want to find a taste for it; I’ve tamed other beasts like One Man Show Gold, I must be able to do this one too!
