This Is Not a Joke
This stuff is ^not^ a joke! Wearing this, my retroview of the minlet I have spent on 'fumes is, I must admit, a bit scary! Of course, a 'fume, being somethng one puts on oneself, and is with one perpetually during its span, the minutest deficiencies of it cannot but become apparent. I can say that if I were to wear these Al Rehab 'fumes and none other, I would start longing for my Pradas & my YSLs, & what-have-you after a small number of days; but I am honestly not sure I can say worse than that! The same applies to Elizabeth Arden and Calvin Klein (CK effectively, as their 'fumes are °on offer° so often the °reduced° prices are effectively the true ones); but in the case of these the phenonenon is amplified in proportion as the prices are yet lower.

This one I expected by reason of its being called 'Zidan' to be essentially a vetiver 'fume: and that is clearly indeed what it is, with a nice generous aura of muskiness to boot. And though it's undoubtedly synthetic, it's not, like, nauseating or °chemical-dirty° or anything like that: it's a carefully-made bona-fide 'fume.

Ali Rhabarber - sour smells funny
First of all: we are talking about a fragrance that costs just 7 € for 35 ml of Eau de Parfum in an orientally themed shop. One shouldn't have euphoric expectations or even wonder about the bottle or criticize the somewhat clumsy sprayer.

What matters is the content - and it initially comes across as very citrusy fresh with a large share of relatively sour and green notes. Ideal for high temperatures, but how can I categorize the sour components that remind me a bit of rhubarb?

I didn't get much wiser on Al Rehab's website, but Fragrantica confirmed that rhubarb has indeed made its way into the fragrance notes - a plant species that I wouldn't quickly associate with the Arabian Peninsula, yet has long been used as a remedy by doctors there.

In addition, mandarin, coriander, tea leaves, amber, licorice, star anise, and vanilla also find their way into the formula. The tea leaves likely contribute to the green aspect, while star anise emits a slightly sweet to sour aura and is known as a healing essential oil. The olfactory connection to licorice isn't too distant either, although this direction plays a timid role in Zidan - more so than one would admit for amber or vanilla.

Well, besides rhubarb, you won't find 40 predatory or flashy ingredients that would present Zidan as a rich fragrance treasure. For that, one should read the first sentence again.

Nevertheless, one can almost perceive it as a bargain treasure that can just as well be worn by women. I wonder if the creators from the Arabian Peninsula would like to hear that. By the way, Zidan translates to progress - and I hope that there will be some soon over there.
