What wearers say

“At first on my skin, it smells like playdough, but after it dries down, it smells exactly like V&R spicebomb, but much better quality ingredients. It doesn't last as long at all, or project even close as much as spicebomb, but smells 98% the same in the dry down. I wouldn't buy this again, because for its price, it doesn't perform and the opening is disgusting. If they change the performance and the opening, I would definetly buy it all over again and give it a 8/10. Too sad it is not like that so I will give this a 5/10. Never buying again.”

“Very very similar to Spicebomb in the opening, then significantly less so through the mid, and then the dry down is completely separate.Redundant and overpriced only if you care about top notes. As per usual with niche fragrances, the quality difference only really appears in the drydown.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Rehab used to be a smooth, addictive blend of creamy lavender, warm woods, and subtle spice, a niche take on a comforting yet sexy scent. But something has changed. The newer batches feel diluted, thinner, and lacking that deep, enveloping richness that made Rehab so special.The opening is still recognizable, but it fades far too quickly. The creamy texture is gone, the projection is weak, and the drydown feels flat, more like a faint body mist than a luxurious extrait. For fans of the original, it’s a letdown.”

Sillage

The original Rehab has superior longevity and sillage, with a more refined oud projection in the base. Raheeb performs as a competent dupe but feels slightly thinner and less complex in the drydown.

Sillage

Dua's version likely offers shorter longevity and slightly less sillage compared to the original Initio formulation. The overall structure is similar, but the clone may feel flatter in the later stages with less sophisticated blending of the woody and musky base notes.
