To me, this smells a lot like vintage Chloe! So lovely if you enjoy this style. Soapy aldehydes and rose, surrounded by a complex blend of sweet florals like mimosa, narcissus, jasmine, and orange blossoms- with just a touch of fruitiness- over a base of amber, oakmoss, and musk. Floral chypre, ’70’s style.
No oudh in here; very classic western style.

I’ve only just purchased this oil. This reminds me of YSL Paris and also the older Coty Paris, though less strident than the former. A lovely, elegant fragrance at a reasonable price – this was a good buy for me at Al-Rehab.

This is the epitome of “spring green” to me. I feel this Nadine has a lot of personality, a greeny springy floral which is not my usual thing. But… it is unique. Something that intrigues my nose and beckons me. I like it. Just not sure exactly how often I’ll wear it. Something about this makes me think of White Linen, or Pleasures maybe? Never tried Cabotine, so maybe..? I did check Cabotine notes though, and they seem more in line with Nadine than the ones listed. Especially the ginger. Something is causing the zing.
I’d have to describe this as a zesty, bright green, airy, fairy floral. Very flowery, but not really very sweet. Fresh and crisp with some lemon maybe? Just as soon as I think it might be heady, it turns into one of those sour-lemon flowers whose stems you can chew on in the early spring, then back again into a white flower like jasmine with something spicy-ish.
I think this is a refreshing type of floral, and will suit a specific craving.
To me, a little quirky, sprightly, spring green scent, and I’m glad to have it in my collection.

Yep, notes are completely off. This is a Cabotine dupe. It’s a nice one, with more rounded edges than my Cabotine dupe from Perfume Parlour.
I wore this yesterday and the longevity is great. I could actually still smell it after showering. It is a sweet, green gingery tuberose, though, and completely wrong for my weather and mood. I ended up regretting wearing it on a day that was below freezing. However, this will probably be great in springtime.
Edit: Scratch what I said before. I’m wearing it today when the weather is below freezing, and it was exactly what I was looking for. I think this more of a mood-dependent scent given its headiness than a weather-dependent one.

I hated this with a passion at first, but after a week or so of settling time and some perseverance, I love this little oddity. I also have horrendously dry, fragrance repelling skin but this lasts around 18 hours on my wrists. Even after a shower or washing dishes. Amazing.

I recently discovered arabian oils thanks to my wonderful fragrantica friends! Nadine was a blind buy for me and i do like it. It reminds me of something from the 80’s but i just can’t put my finger on it. I’ve never smelled cabotine so it’s not that. I smell unidentifiable flowers, clove and honey. These perfumes smell different on everyone and i don’t know if it’s the way oud reacts on my skin but just about every arabian oil or spray that i have smells like there’s clove in it. Luckily for me i love clove! Moderate longevity and moderate sillage. For the price it’s definatly worth it. It smells more expensive than it is.

This is for the 6 ml oil roll-on.
The first few times I tried this I absolutely hated it. I got very indolic, harsh florals that reminded me of cheap bathroom air freshener. Then, on the advice of another Fragrantican, I let it settle for a week and tried again. I dabbed the tiniest bit in a few places, and it smelled really nice. Now I can smell the flowers and the rose without the sour note. It is soft and polite and kind of a bright scent. Very nice for summer! This turned out to be a very pleasant surprise, but for me the key is using just the barest amount, otherwise it’s a completely different scent. This is true of all the floral al rehabs so far. Some of them work on me, but some just don’t, even though they smell good in the bottle (such as Elena and Lovely).
I’m not a big fan of rose scents, but to me this is a floral mix rather than predominantly rose, it settles right into my skin and stays gently floral, without becoming powdery.

This reminds me of something and I think it might be a 1980s talcum powder, on me it’s a soapy/bath salt rose. Not unpleasant but one I will only ever use after a bath.

It’s been bugging me what this reminds me of that I used to have (and I never owned cabotine). For me it reminds me of wings by Giorgio Beverly hills, but a little less soapy. I do like it. It has a 90s floral smell to it. Even a tiny bit like Eternity (but certainly with some notes missing and not the pungent.) Sillage is soft and an hour later and it has faded to a skin scent on me. Another nice pick me up inexpensive nice scent from Al rehab.

This is very similar to Cabotine by Gres and many have a love or hate for that scent. If you like bright florals you might like this. It is very tenacious and even after rinsing it off last night before bed I could smell it this morning on my wrist. I love Cabotine when I am in the mood for it. Such a cheerful mood (in moderation). The oil rollerball of Nadine makes it handy to take it with you and it is a bargain.

This is for the 6ml oil
Nadine is soft, cuddly pink Sambac Jasmine with calm sweet citrus. It’s more creamy sandal than powdery rose. I do get a little of the rose and oud but it’s so light you have to know what to look for. Oud has a different effect depending on the notes, amount and type of oud. The citrus comes in as a middle note for me.
As well as being a lovely fragrance alone you can also layer Arabian attars fairly easily. Al Rehab oils are so inexpensive you can use them a million ways! I used Nadine in my tea light tart warmer with some water today. WOW! It’s like creamy pink clouds filled with kittens and tiny unicorns have invaded my living room! It’s freaking gorgeous!
I’m buying a box of six and I won’t rest until I try every single Al Rehab oil!

I agree its like cabotine, very sharp grenn floral. at first I found it very overpowering but as I have about 20 al rehab oils I let it develop and after about an hour it is lovely.

I have to agree with HeavyBeatsUK. The notes listed here are seriously messed up. As soon as I put it on I thought “Oh, Cabotine.” Which is ok because I like Cabotine. Think bright, sharp, confident 80s floral (although Cab was created in 1990).
faspExpamHPB – :
This smells just like Cabotine by Gres. Just in case you don’t know what Cabotine by Gres smells like, it smells very green and sweet like a warm spring day in England. I don’t get any rose at all and certainly no oud. I think the ‘notes’ section on this page is messed up. After looking at the notes and reading the review below, I expected a rosey facecream type scent but it’s not like that on me.
Ms_Chocolate – :
As there are no reviews yet, I will add my first impressions of Nadine. I am not sure if the notes above are correct. To my nose Nadine is all about rose and loads of white flowers (on a sandalwood background?) with a very creamy drydown in the sense of “expensive face creme” creamy. A while ago I had Al Rehab Shadha which I ended up giving away – I do think these two are very similar although I have no way amymore of verifying this in a side by side comparison. I do not get any oud in this fragrance at all, but then again I love oud and it is never something that turns me off rather a note that I love in quantities so it may well be hidden in here behind all the rose jasmine white curtain. This scent has tremendous sillage and longevity – less is certainly more and rubbing it in well will probably lead sooner to that delicous creamy phase. It is not the type of scent I usually go for but I think it is well blended. If you are after a jasmine white flower scent that is more gardenia/tuberose like you should try White Full instead.
