Shadha Al Rehab Eau de Parfum

Uiuiui…
One spray - full blast!
A lot of rose comes at me.
My first perfume associations are Jil Sander No4 or Cabotine.
YSL Paris also goes in this direction, although I’m doing Paris a bit of a disservice now, as it plays in a completely different league - sorry Al Rehab!
Shadha is very feminine. By that, I mean that it takes a woman who knows what she wants to wear this perfume, not a young girl still searching for direction.
The scent is a statement. Essentially the opposite of undercover.
The rose is not alone. Perhaps a little jasmine as well? Definitely not tuberose, as it lacks that buttery quality. Or does it? It does remind me a bit of Poison. But maybe I’m only associating that because the start is so loud.
A woody base can now also be recognized, possibly musk, as the scent becomes a bit more voluminous, layered, no longer purely floral.
From here on, I could also imagine it well on a man.
But beware: you still get an overdose of rose!
Clearly a spring/summer scent, with a refreshing, very loud intro and a more subdued progression.
The further it goes to the base, the warmer the scent becomes. A bit at the expense of the rose, which now loses its dominance and mutates into a floral mishmash.
The longevity is good and the same goes for the scent intensity.
You get a decent whiff of fragrance with every movement.

But be careful with roses:

“Before the wedding, you get roses,
after the wedding, you stuff your pants”
