Al-Rehab Choco Musk Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 1.65 oz/50 ml

Choco-licious Fragrance!
Well, 16K+ Amazon reviews can’t be wrong! This was yet another very successful blind buy for me. Holy smokes this stuff is unbelievable! For the price, you’re really getting more bang for your buck – I mean, a fragrance that smells this good for a mere $7.50 – who does that??? Al-Rehab does that, and I for one, am very happy about it! 😁It’s true their packaging and bottles do not scream “luxury”. The box it comes in is very simple, the text/logo is kinda cheesy, and the bottle, while made of glass, is of a much lighter weight than other brands (compared to Nebras, for instance, that thing is a friggin BRICK), and the juice is rather, um…”technicolor” to say the least. However, all of that hides the surprise inside – the scent is absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!!! 😍Right out of the gate, the first spray gave me a blast of chocolate, as if someone managed to turn a Hershey bar into a spray. Yes, the alcohol is there too (hey, it’s 80% alcohol, whattaya want), but that dissipates quickly, leaving behind a sweet, chocolatey, vanilla confection with a hint of patchouli. There’s nothing too complex here – no mysterious oud to give it a dark or smoky undercurrent, and even the musk is given a light hand overall. As with many fragrances, the longevity isn’t great. Things start to fade away rather quickly, and while I can still smell chocolate and vanilla many minutes later, it becomes a “skin scent” in fairly short order. But where Choco Musk really shines is in layering! I tested it with By the Fireplace/Ameer al Oudh; Mix:Bar Vanilla Bourbon; Lattafa Nebras, and Cocktail Intense (also very cheap here on Amazon), and it blended very well with each (I plan to try it with other scents as well).I would categorize Choco Musk as a simple, very friendly gourmand (good for those dipping their toes into the gourmand fragrance world) that no doubt could put a smile on the faces of many. This is definitely not a serious scent – you don’t want to wear this to say, a funeral, or even the office – but it’s good for buzzing around town, hitting a movie, shopping with “the girls,” or snuggling at home. And at this price, you really can’t beat it – well done, Al-Rehab! 👍

Choco Marshmallow is a Magnifique Value & Intoxicating Scent ✨
I got choco marshmallow musk because I wanted a gourmand, sweet, marshmallow-y scent. I did not want a musky scent, and this is not. It has a slightly floral base I believe, which gives it a gentle whiff of complexity amidst the gourmand scent. It’s honestly perfect and precisely what I had in mind when shopping. I am so incredibly grateful for the price. The rollerball is sideways in my purse and has not leaked. It’s a regular-sized rollerball and what you’d expect; get two, so you have one for your bathroom too. It is a stunning value, being oil-based and long-lasting. Bath & Body Works scents go away instantly, but this lasts for 6 hours or so on my wrists and neck. It’s very wearable, not super overpowering, but still strong silage, especially close to the skin because it’s oil-based. It might even be okay in the office. I have a feeling it would get a ton of compliments because no one dislikes marshmallow scent. It’s highly pleasant and calming—excellent and useful for AROMATHERAPY. I also assume they use the base floral for all their perfumes, and then add the unique fragrance into it. My fiance remarked that he liked it a lot. As a source of comparison, he also likes Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (complex floral), but did not remark on Juicy Couture (basic gourmand), so this one was notably special and delicious. Superb product. Will repurchase. It is oil-based, but it comes out lightly enough that it wouldn’t transfer to clothing, plus you can easily spread it. The oil base will make your hair gritty, so try to put it in places your hair won’t rub against, especially if sweating or applying heavily. I love the brand now and am eager to try their other scents, but this one was exactly the product I desired.

nice smell

this smells absolutely devine, if you are into sugary-sweet scents. This doesn’t smell sweet in a bakery way, but rather leans more vanilla or marshmallow based. I’m not getting much of a chocolate scent, but an actual cocoa note is difficult to nail down perfectly. Lots of people say they smell chocolate, but my nose smells marshmallows with something warm underneath it. If you’ve ever smelled the candle “marshmallow fireside” at bath and body works, this perfume immediately reminded me of that.Some people are saying that the longevity isn’t great, but after wearing it for a few days, I haven’t personally had the same issue. On me, this lasts about 3 hours before I can no longer smell it and have to reapply, which is much better than some of my $30+ dollar perfumes. You do have to apply maybe 6-7 pumps for it to last/smell strong enough, however. I put one on each wrist, the crooks of my elbows, my neck, and one in my hair. That’s my perfect amount so I’m not wafting perfume, but rather just smell it here and there.Also, since this perfume seems to only have two detectable notes, I feel as though it would be perfect to layer with other scents that you might want to lean sweeter.
