Sweet and powdery oriental
Having already had very good experiences with the "Tom Oudh | Surrati / السرتي" perfume oil from an Arabian manufacturer, I ordered four perfume oil roll-ons from Al Rehab: "Sultan Al Oud (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab", "Bakhour (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab", "Golden (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab" and "Dakar (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab".
The "Dakar (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab" was a direct hit, the "Sultan Al Oud (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab" was disappointing and the "Bakhour (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab" is somewhere in between.
"Golden (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab" probably also. For me, it's a sweet, powdery fragrance, I don't notice the flowers directly. They are probably hidden under the sweetness, which may be perceived and associated differently from nose to nose. Worth a try for fans of oriental fragrances, but I won't be getting it again. Of the four Al Rehab perfume oils mentioned, only "Dakar (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab" remains in the rotation for me.

Flowery melodiousness

I'm not a fan of floral fragrances per se, so I don't have much of a basis for comparison. For my rather untrained nose, this is a relatively straightforward floral fragrance without any rough edges. For me rather nothing, but if you like floral fragrances you can certainly try the "Bakhour (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab" for the price.

ERROR 404: Oud Wood not found
Having already had very good experiences with the "Tom Oudh | Surrati / السرتي" perfume oil from an Arabian manufacturer, I ordered four perfume oil roll-ons from Al Rehab: "Sultan Al Oud (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab", "Bakhour (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab", "Golden (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab" and "Dakar (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab".
After the "Dakar (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab" was a direct hit, I was unfortunately disappointed by the "Sultan Al Oud (Perfume Oil) | Al Rehab". To me, the fragrance smells only very remotely - if at all - like "Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" or "Oud Wood Intense | Tom Ford". The fragrance is probably not bad on its own, but for someone like me who was looking for the "Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" DNA, it is unfortunately sobering. Difficult to define for me, I perceive spice & a certain sweetness but the wood from the "Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" is missing
You can certainly try it for the price, but if you're looking for a perfume oil with an "Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" scent, you're much better off with the "Tom Oudh | Surrati / السرتي". That remains my go-to for the "Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" alternative.

Fresh everyday fragrance with good H/S
The "#Fierce | The Dua Brand / Dua Fragrances" is certainly not a particularly exciting, profound fragrance. But it is also not as polarizing as, for example, "Megamare | Orto Parisi" or something similar. You get what is promised and what you expect: Shower gel freshness with little progression but a great durability & sillage for the fragrance category.Due to the performance, the price is OK, the fragrance itself probably does not justify the price, as it is too insignificant.
That may sound too negative, but I like it for exactly what it is: a fragrance for every day that won't bother anyone and that is still perceptible in the evening and doesn't almost disappear after an hour or two. For me, this makes it the better, albeit more expensive, alternative to many designer and/or drugstore freshies and has therefore earned a place on my perfume shelf.
As usual with Dua, the bottle is nothing special, a simple glass shape with a simple wooden-look lid. The label/print is too colorful for my taste and looks cheap. I would personally prefer something more classic and minimalist. But what the heck, the spray head works perfectly, that's what matters.

Linear freshie with very good performance
In Story Blue, the blue is more of a fresh, cool, rather synthetic blue. No associations with the sea, rather with cold mountain water.
Perhaps a trivial fragrance for some people and possibly too synthetic. For me, however, it is a real "clean man" fragrance, which admittedly shows hardly any fragrance progression but performs very well for a freshie and is not overly citrusy.
I like it, unfortunately it's hard to find nowadays.
