Definitely like Ananya, if you liked that one. I am wearing Elena today along with Ananya body lotion. Pretty much the same fragrance, although I’d say Elena has more kick.

Elena starts as fruity bubble gum, I smell watermelon and peach, but very quickly it turns into strong white floral with fruity aspects (litchi is a very prominent heart note). I smell strong tuberose and jasmine, I guess. It is pretty heavy and I get some poison-ish vibe from Elena in her heart notes. I am really surprised many people say it is pure fruit and nothing serious, tuberose is very prominent for me and it gets quite smoky. The drydown is amazing soft honey and musk combo. Great oil, develops interesting and impressive, absolutely not linear (on me). Very long lasting, moderate to heavy sillage.

OOPS! You left your Grape Bubble Yum in your pants pocket! Tide, Grape B. Yum, & Fabric Softener. Clean! I do smell the “weird” scent some are talking about. They should tone that down a bit, it’s taking the greatness away. I did have Ananya back in the day, it’s def in that family..Al Rehab kills it with Choco Musk tho! . Natalie N On Youtube xox

yes… ananya all the way! I used to love body shop so this is lovely to have in my collection

I was so excited to get Outrageous shampoo scent others are smelling, but was hugely disappointed. It is my skin, for sure, because it smells great in the bottle. The second it touched my skin it turned into cheap bathroom deodorizer. Just horrible! I put up with it for half an hour, hoping it would change, but I couldn’t stand it and had to scrub. The same thing happened with Nadine. Seems like none of the Al rehab florals are working for me, but these are the first that my chemistry completely freaked out on.

Imlovespapa Thank You for saying this smells just like Revlon’s Outrageous shampoo and conditioner!! I was obsessed with the scent of that as an young teen! I received my roll on oil today, and you’re right. The dry down is that delicious Outrageous scent I so distinctly remember! Great idea for using the spray to scent hair! I will be buying a bottle for that purpose and another for my body!! If anyone knows of any other shampoos that have that delicious scent please guide me in the direction. I know I can purchase on eBay. But it’s hard as a licensed cosmetologist to pay so much for shampoo and conditioner that isn’t professional. I may have to bite the billet and do it anyway. Sexy, fresh, clean scent! My newest favorite Al-rehab attar!

This is for the 6ml oil
Yumpin yimony! No mater were I turn with these Al Rehabs the first blast is almost always of laundry products or air freshener! I know Saudi Arabian Muslim culture puts a huge emphasis on personal hygiene but to smell as if you put your skin through the washing machine before giving it a 70 minute tumble dry with 70 dryer sheets?
Well anyway I can’t say I don’t like it because who doesn’t like to smell freshly laundered but I now have at lease 12 such scents to choose from!
It’s also reminding me of something in my childhood. Maybe something my mother used around the house, a scented toy, or a bubble blowing soap/perfume I had as a kid, or a shampoo.
As it dries down it becomes very tropical and a little less laundry.
For the price this is quickly turning into love! It smells nice on my wrists but best on my inner elbows.
Update:
I layered this under Al rehab roses and it’s Beautiful.

i wore TBS Ananya for nearly a year in the early 90s, and still have some of the perfume oil to compare and yes, this is astonishingly, heart-wrenchingly similar! trufax.
it isn’t an exact dupe, but if you loved that you’ll probably almost certainly love this, too.
i like this better than Ananya. it also reminds me a fair bit of the original formulation of Realities.

If you want the spray version of this, go to Al-Rehab’s website. They have mispelled it as ‘Elina’ which is why you can’t get the spray otherwise.

Instantly I’m reminded of the Body Shop’s Ananya, it’s really fruity with a hint of bubblegum. I think the litchi is the most prominent note. Western-smelling for sure and I agree about the soapiness of this perfume, it does smell clean. Sillage seems okay but I won’t know until I’ve worn it for a day.

I’m not sure what to make of this yet. It’s not offensive… in fact, I think I like it the more I smell it. For some reason, though, I get the feeling that it smells better straight on the skin than a whiff that a passerby would get. I’m afraid the projected fragrance would smell cheap.
At first sniff, I was instantly reminded of a berry candle. I can truly see how someone would think “soap”. It has a waxy kind of smell to it. Must be the litchi?
I now own Sandra and Elena, and I can attest that while they are both marketed to a younger Western crowd, they are not similar to me. Sandra is definitely a better blend, more balsamic, ambery, and contains vanilla. Sandra was love at first sniff and I immediately bought the six-pack. I used to own Fantasy and Sandra is actually a better version of it.
Elena is straight fruitiness without anything else. Not the usual drugstore fruity, though. There’s just something in it that is very strange. I can’t lie… I don’t have enough confidence in this oil to wear it in public.

Sweet indeterminate tropical fruits, light musk, and cheerful cherry blossom!
The scent begins by being as sweetly intense as Lifesaver candies, and progresses to a kind of loudly tropical shampoo. This may be good or bad, depending upon your associations, but it’s definately a happy, uncomplicated aura.
Though by no means earth shatteringly serious, I believe Elena would prove great fun for your Tropical Scent / Cherry Blossom Enthusiast!

I put this on last night and my son told me I smelled like a bar of soap. ‘nuf said 🙂
saxmax – :
I have Sandra and my friend has Elena, so I was able to test them side by side. They’re not similar at all. Sandra is similar to Fantasy by Britney Spears and Elena is a very sweet, candy like scent, smells like those Brach’s Abra Cabubble Bubble Gum xD

Good news!!!
Smells exactly like the long lost Avon Tapage, even the same colour bottle. Get buying up girls. Great bargain too!!
Amazing, my new favourite Al Rehab.

From vague memory (two weeks ago) and to add a review briefly, i was very excited when i came across this perfume oil.
To my disappointment it was a strong, cheap smelling scent similar to Sandra (Sandra to me is much nicer) but i think it was the litchi notes that put me off.
