Al-Rehab Balkis Concentrated Perfume Oil, 0.2 Ounce / 6ml

I recently purchased Balkis for women by Al-Rehab (Crown Perfumes) concentrated perfume oil in the glass roller ball bottle (6 ml) here on Amazon. It is the second Al-Rehab fragrance I've tried, and I am not at all disappointed.I purchased six of these perfume oils at once, as I wanted to break away from department store and designer fragrances for a while.Balkis is classified as "an Oriental feminine fragrance enriched with vanilla."Please don't mistake this for a vanilla fragrance. Balkis is a soft floral that is powdery and slightly sweet. It is not a gourmand fragrance, and the vanilla is not at all dominant. It is also not an amber fragrance.It is a floral bouquet enhanced by vanilla, but it is definitely blooming with delicate petals. None of the floral notes are overpowering. That's why the word "bouquet" is very important here. This fragrance is all about cool, dew-drenched flowers, clean yet gently sweet. I read that it is named after a queen, which is very fitting, as it is a very feminine and luxurious scent.As I say with all the Al-Rehab perfume oils, just use a small dab of this fragrance. It is very concentrated and will last a very long time.

Everything is fine

I consider this the best woman's attar to try if you have no experience. It's my everyday go-to summertime perfume because it works so well in the heat. Two other's I'd recommend, Nebras, very feminine and Bakhour, a lovely and stronger Arabian perfume. Al-Rehab makes wonderful perfume oils. You can buy all three and with shipping you are under $20, so have some fun. Balkis smells a bit like incense. And beware that these are concentrated perfume oils. A little touch goes a long way. A technique I use to apply is right after a shower I make a circle of the oil in the palm of my hand, rub both hands together and then rub on your body wherever you like. I also put some on my hand to mix with my hair gel, I love doing that.

I absolutely love love this perfume sent it a while. It makes me think that I’m back in Dubai and smelling like those wonderful women there. :-) I do recommend this to anyone and that might want to try this lovely and seductive fragrance

Was looking for something that smells lemony, this does when it's first applied but quickly takes on a sweet candy-like smell. It goes from fresh to Lemonheads to Jolly Rancher to an odd artificial smell. Was not too disappointed for $6.50, it's OK if you *want* to smell like hard candy.

To put things simply. I have bought many oils when I lived in kuwait. This oil doesnt have as pleasant of a smell as one would hope. It looks authentic but it contains notes that are underwhelming and weak.

For the price this is really good value , for me though it comes on as more of a male smell. and it is potent. I bought it knowing this from some other reviews but i use just a tad and it s good. It is not my signiture scent but for a once in a while change it does well. For the price i will be trying lots of the other oil perfumes from this seller. I am happy with my purchase.

This is a nice scent, however it tends to be more manly on top and middle notes. Bottom notes seems more feminine. Worth the price! Not sure I'd buy this product again as I have many on my list to try yet. Great for purse as bottle is just right in size.
