Indolic marigold detergent

How can marigolds be indolic? Well, in Aroosah, as you will see, they just are. Fresh, earthy, slightly bitter – all the hallmarks of tagetes are there in the topnotes, giving off a brief impression of a freshly-cleaned toilet. But as the fragrance unfolds, so too does a wave of oily indoles similar to those clinging to the inside of Easter lilies, the smell of life and death repeating on itself like a bad meal. In the later stages of the oil’s development, a heavily-greased almond undertone begins to intrude on proceedings, making things infinitely worse. If you’ve been manfully suffering through the experience thus far, then brace yourself, Bridget. The almond note, when paired with the grassy hay notes from the chamomile, marigold, and saffron, presents the nose with a real challenge: pungency.

Aroosah is not fresh or natural-smelling in the least, being far more redolent of bathroom cleaning detergents than anything botanical in origin. Nonetheless, its soapy, medicinal-herbal aroma is authentically Indian in nature. Not for the faint of heart, or indeed, stomach.

A Delayed Discovery

Four years ago, I discovered oriental fragrance oils and subsequently purchased many small 3 ml bottles of Al Rehab from various vendors. Tried and discarded. Most of them contain Oud, of course not real oil, but synthetic, probably even in different variations. I was a newbie when it came to Oud; it fascinated me but didn't really appeal to me at the same time. Now, four years later, I have retrieved them from the cool cellar where I stored the various perfumes and tried them again: I perceive the scent of Aroosah as something completely different than before! Has the oil "matured"? Probably not the oil, but myself or my nose. I suspect that I perceive things differently today and also take the time to immerse myself in the scent, to explore its different facets and to trace the changes over time. And then I learned another difference. Many oils smell sharp and off-putting on the skin when you press your nose directly into them, especially if you do it too quickly, whereas the air around me, the scent trail I leave behind, smells delicious. Most Al Rehab oils and sprays need some time to develop, quite different from perfumes from, for example, Lattafa, which are IMMEDIATELY accessible and pleasant. Perhaps they are designed for immediate effect, and many do not want to disturb with edges and corners.
Aroosah starts very strong, with a certain sharpness, something floral-herb-bitter. This is probably mainly the chamomile or chamomile tea. But there are also initially sharp or "pointed" smelling white flowers. The floral aspect remains throughout the entire scent journey, the herb-bitter note also lingers for a long time, and I perceive this as a unique characteristic of this fragrance. Unmistakable. And after a few hours, a woody-warm tone slowly overlays the mixture, becoming slightly sweeter, but not very strong. I find that the bitter notes and the very slight sweetness at the end make Aroosah very wearable for men without any risk. For those who do not want to smell only of dark wood and leather or - the other end of the male scale - fruity-citrusy freshness, but also enjoy floral scents, Aroosah is recommended. I do not want to hide that Aroosah does not smell modern. The mainstream fragrances that today permeate even well-frequented pedestrian zones and correspond to the "trend" are completely different. Aroosah has a different concept and probably comes from another time: I think of the 80s and 90s. Parfumo lists 443 perfumes from Al Rehab. No company history or date of origin is mentioned, but it takes decades to develop such a variety of scents. Most of them are probably extinct today. I suspect that Aroosah is also more of a classic and the fact that it has not been discontinued but is still produced due to the continuous demand from its loyal customers says something about the quality and appreciation of this perfume.
So come on, dear Parfumos, pull out 3 to 4 Euros from your wallets and grab a small bottle and above all: Report back on your discovery journey!
