I have around 10 different Al Rehab roll ons which i consider beeing the best ones of the house.
I have GIT,Cool water, Très nuit, and Rasasi egra.
-Champion black:
Top notes are like GIT, in a darker way as it is oil, with of course an important inferior quality. 6/10
-Middle notes are a good quality GIT, i mean, literally. 8/10
-Base notes are a mix of GIT and Cool water base notes, i definitely detect some marine notes. This is very good. 8/10
Longevity is very good, around 10 hours.
Sillage is i would say average.
Sum up: a very interesting cheap fragrance, if you can wait for the mediocre top notes to settle into the middle notes that are a good quality clone of GIT. The base notes are a perfect mix between the GIT and CW base notes.
7.5/10, highly recommended, 100% hit from Al Rehab.

Smells more or less identical to Al Rehab Al Fares. Which is to say it falls somewhere between GIT and Eternity for Men. Either Al Rehab can stand on its own as a crowd pleasing scent or compliment any traditional fragrance in that general wheelhouse. Good longevity and potent sillage if you use too much. But don’t: less is more with Al Rehab.

cool water clone minus the watery DNA and this one smells a more like Tide detergent

I haven’t sniffed CW or GIT, so I can’t compare them.
In my opinion, it smells clean enough and a bit sweety without being too soapy because of musk and tobacco. I like it.

I adore GIT and it’s been my signature scent for 18 years or so, so I got this purely out of curiosity, as it had been likened to GIT.
Funny thing is I really rate Silver, especially the way it latches on to a note and holds it for the duration, so am not a frag snob, but this one just had too much of a violet emphasise to float my boat. It was just missing what I love about GIT for it to work for me, almost like having ‘semi skimmed GIT’ instead of full fat.
In the bottle it smells similar to GIT’s violet/Verbena notes so I was quietly optimistic of what was to come. But literally from first application through to the 10-12 hours of longevity, my nose only picked up violets and an odd slightly sweet plasticky smell, which is not at all unpleasant, but for me it reminded me of something that I couldn’t quite place but was not really all that close to how GIT smells on me.
Don’t get me wrong, In it’s own right, it is actually quite pleasant and very inoffensive but not a frag i’d personally reach for often enough to justify keeping it in my collection, even at the ludicrous price of £1.61 per 6ml roll on.
Back to the smell, I knew the smell reminded me of something from my childhood and one of my kids summed it up by saying ‘Dad, your cologne smells like the way Palma Violet sweets taste’, and she has a point!
I just find it too violet heavy.
All was not lost though, I decanted the 6ml oil in to a bottle I was gifted of Pocket Scents ‘Essence of Eire’ (It’s sold as a budget clone of GIT but is actually a dead ringer for the latest CW with an added sharp Verbena note in the opening and some iris in the mid), and with the added violet blast I now have a passable GIT type of frag, not a spot on dupe by any means, but certainly one that gives me that every day GIT vibe and is certainly better than CW/Aspen.

EDIT: This is a synthetic mess. It smells mostly like Cool Water but falls apart on the drydown. I really have to downgrade this from a like to dislike. Really dislike. Aspen is a better version of the same smell.

I have the roll on oil. Do not judge this upon first sniff when applied to the skin. It needs about 5 minutes to dry down and settle. The comparison to Cool Water and Aspen is correct. More like CW. I don’t have GIT so I can’t compare them. If you like CW and Aspen you’ll definitely like Champion Black. But again you must let it dry before judgment because the top notes are frankly horrible like a chemical mixture or something. By all means, do not smell the roller ball directly. That’s what I did and I almost threw the fragrance away. After I let it dry it became one of my spring time favorites. It’s strange because although I liked CW, it was never in my top favorites. But something about Champion that is so intoxicating. It’s Cool Water but greener. And that’s what I assumed GIT would be. So maybe it is a GIT clone, or close clone?

I’m from Indonesia,
I’ve compared directly this roll on with Davidoff cool water, and I think they are indeed there are similarities, especially in cool water base notes. if we sniff directly on the bottle champion black and the smells will be smoky and plasticky, but when we put it on the skin, the impression it will be down.

I feel this smell like a detergent, called Rinso in my country.

this is a cool water clone but projects and has longer longevity, and is half the price of the price of cool water, well done

Williamisjfy – 2022-06-24:

I prefer it over Cool Water… And the price is great!

I got three of these Al-rehab roll ons, Silver, Sultan, and Champion Black. Out of the three this one is my least favorite. It starts off ok, kinda reminds me of the classic Old Spice deodorant, but with more depth to it. After two hours it becomes this plasticky scent almost like playdough. Yes it reminds me of playdough! Overall not my thing will probably give it away.

No with the capital ‘N’. Had to wash it off properly with soap, after giving it some time on my skin, but it was synthetic in the beginning and remained synthetic…… plastic-y synthetic. It has the faint vibe of Cool Water or better say, going in similar direction but not in a good way.
Champion Black, along with Silver and Blanc did not work for me. Al-Fares is just ok. However, Zidan and Dakar are really impressive. I will try other offerings by Al-Rehab like Sultan, Lord, Oudy, Romantic, One Secret, Superman in next few days and will report.

Yep, Champion Black is a great CW clone… some might even prefer this one. A great, safe blind buy for fans of Cool Water.
EDIT: I had to edit this review regarding longevity. Now that warmer weather has come around, it is lasting 5 or more hours on my skin…

Lasts…not sure really, I’ve never noticed it ever going away, it just stays. Projection’s about an elbow’s length.
Smells very clean & musky. I clearly got the ylang-ylang as listed from the notes, the musk, and oakmoss. But I didn’t get the tobacco though. At times it’ll smell like coconut because of the musk. Musk is thick during the first 2 hours and can be nauseating if you breathe it too much, so apply this to places away from your face.
Smells like cool water? Yes, but wayyyy stronger.

Cool Water clone with low sillage and 8 hours of longevity. Nice considering the prices of Al Rehab as this is my second from the house.

I just got this today and it’s a very cheap and synthetic copy of Green Irish Tweed by Creed. What’s funny is that this stuff, which cost me $3.20, is better than Cool Water still! This will hold me over until I get a bottle of GIT but until then this is pretty good stuff for the price.
