Saat Safa Al Rehab Perfume Oil

A few years ago, I bought the oil in the small 3 ml bottle, and later the 30 ml spray (with a sensational sprayer; it’s fantastic!). The scent of Saat Safa is wonderful. Right from the start, there is quite a bit of rose - the fragrance notes officially listed here on Parfumo are incorrect; they are accurately stated on Fragrantica - underpinned by spicy wood and moss. The scent changes little over the course of hours: the rose fades slightly, and the wood emerges as a warm factor with a minimal sweetness. Amber, patchouli, and earthy moss are included. The oud present is, of course, synthetic, but it doesn’t have any barnyard or baby diaper undertones; instead, it gives the composition depth (and longevity?). The sillage is okay, but not very strong. On my skin, where many fragrances generally don’t last long due to dryness, two sprays are still strongly present after more than 5 hours, smelling warm-floral and spicy, and after 8 hours, it’s a close-to-skin scent. After 15 hours, a warm scent was still detectable right on the skin. I compared the fragrance alongside other Al-Rehab scents and perfumes from oriental manufacturers like Rasasi, Al Haramain, or Swiss Arabian, and I can say that it holds up absolutely against significantly more expensive perfumes, but of course, that’s a matter of taste. I recommend trying the 30 ml spray if you can appreciate floral wood. It costs less than 10 €. The rose-oud wave seems to have passed already, and I’m definitely lagging behind with my praise. Perhaps there will be a revival. That would be nice, so that production isn’t discontinued due to lack of demand.
