Better than expected
This Dakar is green, very green and aromatic, with a warm background of woods, very beautiful, really a fresh and manly perfume, with that air of eighties barber shop that you like so much, and that today it is difficult to see with this naturalness.

The longevity and wake of this work is very good, reaching 7 hours and projecting moderately well from the beginning, you can not ask for more for what it costs. It is a perfume suitable for warm or temperate climates and to dress both day and night.

I am not a follower of this type of aromas, it is not my style, but, even so, I do not stop recognizing that the perfume is very good in its style, it does not feel synthetic or artificial, on the contrary, it has a very natural and green aura , which for the price it has, is a real bargain.

Review about perfume in roll-on oil.

Back to the 80s
Haha
You don't have to be a genius to figure out, that this fragrance will be very close to Guy Laroche's Drakkar Noir.
Simply clean and fresh. You're feeling like a gentleman when wearing it.
Worth it's price.

The DuschDas Men Perfume and Drakkar Noir Alternative!
Finally, my eternal search for the one perfume that smells like DuschDas Men in blue has come to an end. My disappointment was great when I read here that Drakkar Noir is just a shadow of what it used to be in the 80s. The sillage, longevity, and depth of Drakkar Noir are said to no longer be the same.
For me, Al Rehab Dakar smells deeply earthy, with a refreshing citrus note that stands out from the earthy, aquatic note. Because the oil version is very strong, I regularly get a scent trail even after 8 hours. With the spray, it's 2 hours less and also weaker in strength. The scent is, in my opinion, very invigorating and fresh, a great classic.
A fragrance that still seeks a worthy rival to this day. Clear recommendation to buy.

Amazing
On a well-known website for oriental fragrances, especially fragrance oils, 3ml can be purchased for €2.40; this fact alone makes Dakar interesting to me. Moreover, one cannot deny the value of this and many other fragrance oils from Al Rehab when judging the scent by its price. If 3ml cost €10, it would be expensive, but due to the quality offered, it would still be justified.

As for the scent itself: It starts fresh-green and spicy, with sage resting on myrrh, along with a hint of citrus at the beginning. As it develops, it becomes a bit more robust and woody, yet the sage remains consistently present throughout the scent journey.
I like Dakar because it is reminiscent of 80s fragrances that were popular into the 90s and still appeal to me today. Drakkar Noir, Caesars Man Cologne, Jil Sander Man III, etc.
So, for those who enjoy this fragrance direction, they can purchase it without hesitation! I wouldn’t label it purely as a Drakkar Noir dupe.

The longevity is very good to enormous, and the sillage can be impressive depending on the body area, remaining noticeable to others even after hours. I always find the dosing very nice with the fragrance oils as they come equipped with a small roll-on.

My conclusion: It’s amazing what scent quality Al Rehab manages to achieve at this price. In the UAE, you can get the fragrance oils starting at around ~80 cents, and that alone would be worth a flight to me :-)

Against all evil.....
.....one is protected with this spicy-herbaceous-balsamic scent.
Smudging with sage is said to drive away evil spirits and demons, and myrrh does its part as well.
(I am a fan of the "Ghost Stories" on Friday nights on TLC)
Well, THIS is the scent for "ghost hunters"!!
Indeed, "Dakar" initially smells very similar to the well-known "Drakkar Noir." However, as it develops, sage first and then myrrh emerge in their strangely fascinating blend, drifting into a balsamic-woody scent after a loooong wear time, without letting the "spirit-repelling notes" disappear.
What belongs together comes together, and the wondrous "mixture" is underpinned by a pleasantly warm base note, likely thanks to amber and other resins.
"Dakar" is just right for all those who love wondrous yet good fragrances.
Fascination included!!

Today my box with the 6 roll-ons arrived; as a Drakkar Noir fan from the 80s, I can only agree: Very close to the original!

Unmistakably reminiscent of Drakkar Noir. Well done. Affordable for the change in your wallet. A bit greener than the original. Nice!

Drakkar Noir from Arabia, but not so old school, rather a bit fresher and brighter. If you love sage and myrrh, you’ve hit the jackpot!!

Rolling wood passes by, sage cools the spirits.
Myrrh-like, the balm emerges - cleverly tricks the nose
Moss and ferns follow!!

Drakkar Noir, with a hint of smoke, subtle and long-lasting, though not overwhelmingly projecting. I like it!

A crossover between Drakkar Noir and Caesars Cologne, the scent is green and spicy, so 90s. I love it! H&S is strong as usual.

Oriental Drakkar Noir. However, it feels a bit cheaper than the original. Medium to good attributes. Worth a try for Drakkar fans!

Dark petrol green, consistently fresh and sophisticated, this old-school scented oil has vibes of aftershave, shower gel, and the '80s.
