My "Comfort" Smell
Initio Rehab has become a fast favorite! "Rehab" is the perfect name for this perfume because there is something so calm and refreshing about it. It really does feel like "therapy" for your nostrils. And yet, it is also addictive. When you wear it, you will want to sniff your arm all day long. This is such an easy-reach for me. I wear it on days when I can't decide what to wear. I always know I won't be disappointed.

I would call this a "fresh" perfume and yet, the longevity is surprisingly strong for a freshie. I can put this on in the morning, and still smell it at the end of the day.

It has the freshness of lavender, but doesn't smell like a lavender perfume. It is spicy and creamy. I also agree with others who have said it has a bit of a "bubble gum" smell to it. But not in an obnoxious or childish way. This is very mature and sexy.

I also think this is the only perfume that I can define as being perfectly unisex. It is so unique that it seems to exist on a completely different plane, beyond gender stereotypes. I'll concede that it smells almost identical to 1899 Histoires, however, I would say this is softer and better blended.

Sexy Unisex
Unlike some other reviewers, I enjoy this fragrance quite a bit. It has been compared to Spicebomb, but to me it smells better. I would never wear SB, as it’s very masculine, whereas Rehab swings both ways and is softer and very sexy and warm on me.
It’s spicy and it’s indulgent. I’d wear it on a date.
Sillage and longevity superb. The bottle is lovely.

If I ever go to Rehab...
One of the most beautifully calming scents in my collection.

I hope I never need to go to Rehab. But if for some reason I ever do: I sure hope it smells somewhat close to this.

Comparisons to Spicebomb might be tempting, but this one is so much more than that!
Rehab just feels right! Feels like a place where you run to when you're feeling overwhelmed by all the daily surrounding noise.
A sensory rehab if you will.

No my nose there are no sharp edges here. It really feels safe, comforting, enveloping, like an embrace from a loved one; and yet, vibrant, clear, effusive.

A super smooth dance between lavender, light spices, white tobacco and soft woods.

What could easily be put into the Fall/Winter drawer by the notes, is quite more versatile.
The initial sparkle of the bright but soft Bergamot in tandem with the lavender bloom, makes this wearable pretty much all year-round to me.

An almost perfect Autumn (or any other season) signature if I ever smelled one.

“You smell like fall”
Off the initial spray it’s quite clean actually. Not fresh, but clean. Super creamy and sort of spicy

Absolute aphrodisiac is my favorite from the house but this is a pretty close second

I get about 9-10 hr of longevity
Subtle projection so I usually do about 10 sprays

It could be worn anytime under around 75°F, it’s really easy to like. I have some specific stuff for “special occasion” fragrances so I don’t use it there but this is a banger

I picked this up for $95. I’ll be keeping this one.

White cream bottle
Initio Rehab.
What an incredible creation.

I start by saying that I felt similarities with another perfume that is highly acclaimed in the world of fragrances and perfumery . Spicebomb Extreme.
This surprised me, but in a good way, as they are only identical up to a certain point.

Like others from the brand, there is no noticeable evolution in this Rehab. From the beginning to the end of the fragrance, there are not many changes. There is no problem with that, since what is already good should not be spoiled.

Smelling Rehab is like smelling Spicebomb Extreme, with less spices, more quality and much more creamy and subtle, less pronounced. But with that I would never be saying that the overall performance is worse. The performance on my skin managed to surpass the performance of Spicebomb Extreme for example. The initial projection was quite superior and satisfactory.
Overall it is a better constructed perfume, but also more unisex.
I feel that Rehab is more easily usable by women.
Whereas Spicebomb would, in the best case scenario, be halfway through.

In any case, if you are looking for a good perfume, with medium/long duration, with quality ingredients and that can easily generate compliments. Rehab easily meets all requirements.

From the incredible presentation to the sublime smell.

I think it would be incredible for a denser and darker version of this Rehab to appear.

7.5/10 is the rating I give to this perfume. which could be much better if it were a beast mode.

Rehab is clean with some citrusy freshness but also sweet, spicy, creamy and woody. The lavender is cozy, smooth and warm. Well-balanced.

Best from the house imo, sweet, creamy musk with smooth spices. Still overpriced though.

The thing spicebomb never had a chance to be. It’s edges are so perfectly balanced and smoothed out. Spicebomb, but then much better.

A lavender headache-infusing blast at the beginning, combined with a soothing spicy musky woody base. Sillage and longevity are excellent.
