Body Kouros sends its regards.
My first review of El Nabil. First of all, a few key facts.
El Nabil was not produced in the UAE like many other perfume oils, but in France, where it is also bottled and marketed in European countries, although it is probably also available in Arab countries. The fragrance concentration is an Extrait de Parfum and not a Concentrate as is usual in Arab countries.
This is also noticeable when applying the fragrance, where most Al rehab fragrances, for example, immediately have an insane power, the fragrances are very oily for a long time and some can be smelled well for several hours, respectively also have a good sillage, the El Nabil fragrances are rather more dignified. Musc Imran in particular gets off to a fantastic start after application. After about 20-30 minutes, the fragrances sort themselves out and you have body kouros vibes in your nose for a while. But the biggest problem here: The fragrance doesn't stay too long and develops into a skin scent after about 2h, you also look in vain for an oily film on the skin after a while, which significantly improves the skin feel, as not everyone can cope with this oily texture. It really depends on the amount you use and where you apply it. I actually bathed in Musc imran one day against all reason and after lavish application (without roll on, on the chest, neck and arms) was actually able to get 8 hours of longevity out of it.
However, nobody at work complained that it was too much, let alone noticed the fragrance, so a sillage of 4/10 is probably already high.
In principle, the fragrance itself is quickly explained: Body Kouros without the grandiose eucalyptus-incense opening, but from the heart note onwards most of the similarities, but the somewhat "dirty" of the original and the depth is definitely missing here, so that the fragrance gets a maximum score of 90% from me in terms of similarity.
As I haven't yet come across a dupe of Body Kouros, apart from Musc Imran, and El Nabil has done an exceptionally good job here, I'm going to get the EdP as well as the extrait.
