Wait and Stay Calm

I struggled for a long time with whether to add Rehab by Initio to my fragrance collection.
Whenever I was close to making a decision, I read reviews and something like the gum smell put me off...
So, wait and stay calm, see if the urge to own the fragrance fades away.

Browsing YouTube and Parfumo, and there it is again... clench your teeth.
You want it, you don’t want it, so wait and stay calm... okay, wait and stay calm.

The journey into other fragrance realms, it smells nice elsewhere too... but the fragrance composition of Rehab has captivated me, or maybe it’s the marketing - how it’s supposed to smell aromatic, woody, and creamy with a hint of sweetness, and then the white bottle... ohhhh, waiting and staying calm is getting harder.

Then I see it being offered by a perfumer on Parfumo, and it’s over with the intention of waiting and staying calm.
(Thanks Gury at this point... shout out to you!)

Saw it, bought it, sprayed it on, looked around... hmm, and now? Is it really gum like Meinesonne85 described... oh no.

Waiting and staying calm is worth it because after a few long minutes, it becomes everything it should be... pleasantly aromatic, fresh, woody, and yet creamy sweet...
It was worth it!!!

I really wanted to like this one just because of the very elegant bottle, but unfortunately, I don't like it at all. On my skin, it smells like a herbal sauna and has a camphor note that reminds me of toothpaste. Like I said, I really wanted to like it, but after testing it for 2 days, I let my sample go.

I tested my first spray of Rehab today. Awesome. I can totally agree with you. No trace of gum for me.
