This is one of my favourites. I wear this on many occasions and if I don’t know what to wear, I often choose this little gem. It’s indeed very similar to pink sugar, I think I like this a bit more because of the yummy citrus gourmand notes. The lasting power is great, especially on clothes. And sillage is moderate on me. I like to apply this generously and getting delicous whiffs of it during the day. Have already finished a 6ml roll on bottle and am now using the spray bottle. I’m also planning on gifting a roll on to family and friends who hadn’t heard of this brand before. I already did that with choco musk and they all liked it :).

Have been wearing the perfume oil version for a few days now. So sweet and caramel-y! For the first time, a perfume this sweet is giving me no headaches but only joy 😀 smells delicious but in a wearable but not edible way. Anyone who likes gourmands should try this! No idea how they make it last so long at such a low cost!!
I think the oil base makes it last longer too.
Btw, I think any gourmand lover should just blind buy it lol! You will most probably love it – but if not then it’s cheap enough to just give away without feeling bad!
byrzak – :
To me this is just awful. It smells like cheap fake plastic. It reminds me of a little girl’s kiddie princess perfume you’d get for a 7 year old from Claire’s or Toys R Us.

An improved Pink Sugar, without the weird rubbery burned notes. Pink Sugar confused me because the licorice is cited as the reason many people dislike it, and I am not that fond of Pink Sugar, but I adore licorice. The problem for me with Pink Sugar is the scorchy smell. SOFT does not have that problem.
SOFT is one of the few sugary sugar scents that charms me. I love this stuff and wear it more often than my timeline suggests. Sometimes I spray it on just to sweeten something else. The spray lasts and lasts. If you love sugary scents, SOFT is cheap enough I would call it a must have.
Lemon and sugar without the almond notes so often done wrong in cheap products. This lacks almond, so it works.
svit04 – :
It smells almost exactly like Pink Sugar which I already have to the point that I’m surprised there’s no liquorice listed in the notes. It does have the addition of a slightly yellow cakey, lemony smell. The strength and sillage is great on me, although so is Pink Sugar. Between the two, I think i prefer this one as the dry down is slightly less liquorice-y but they smell almost identical to me and are both cheapies, so either would do if you like the scent.
Amwrosy – :
I’m not too much of a sweet tooth so I rarely shop in the gourmand section
but what a lovely surprise Soft is!
it’s not overload sweetness like many gourmand perfumes…it’s dry, powdery, woody and floral…makes me think of a piece of pink chalk
this is a great bedtime scent for sweet dreams…but for me personally, the doll head drydown is the best part!
xp84 – :
Al-Rehab Soft is very much like Aquolina’s Pink Sugar, only powdery. Not in a baby or grandma powdery way though. Think powdered sugar! It’s a lovely fragrance.. super soft and sweet. I still prefer Pink Sugar, but I would definitely wear Soft as replacement if need be.
rolexreplica19702 – :
Soft first came to my attention as a Pink Sugar dupe, which didn’t much appeal to me even with such a modest price tag. (Doesn’t actual Pink Sugar cost about the same, anyhow?) It was when I read the comparison to Kerosene’s Unknown Pleasures that my interest was piqued. I’d just bought a brand new bottle of the latter, and wanted to do a side by side comparison.
The initial verdict? Not bad! Both open with a huge blast of lemon, softened by the addition of caramel and vanilla. Personally, I think Unknown Pleasures has an edge with its black tea and bergamot notes, which serve to temper the sweetness and add complexity. It’s in the dry down that they become two very different animals, though. UP transforms into a delicate skin scent that lets each individual note shine through, revealing itself as the more thoughtfully crafted fragrance. Meanwhile, Soft stays loud and syrupy all day long, hitting you over the head with its cotton candy sweetness. (As has already been mentioned to death, it smells very much like Pink Sugar. It’s Lemon Sugar, basically.)
Soft is a cute perfume that’s worth adding to your collection if you’re a fan of citrusy gourmands, especially considering the sillage, longevity, and overall quality are superior to pretty much anything else at this price point. If you’re curious to try a slightly more interesting version of Pink Sugar, you have nothing to lose by picking up a bottle.
xkq787speagoessenda – :
Gorgeous. Very similar to Pink Sugar. AMAZING sillage and lasting power. Very well done fragrance
liberty2010-46 – :
What a positive surprise! Can you get this kind of quality with less than ten euros?! I became curious about Soft after reading some positive reviews. I wanted a real Oriental perfume, but was not willing to pay much.
Soft is amazing combination of lemony freshness and soft caramel sweetness, with some woody notes to balance it.
I don’t think Soft is pink and sugary. It’s very rich with different nuances and developes on my skin nicely, changing slowly from fresh citrus into a lemon pie, something more warm, softly sweet and sensual.
This is better than many expensive designer gourmands.
The scent is very intense.
Amazing sillage and longevity.
The bottle is pretty and handy to take for travels.
EraXXL – :
The smell of Chik-fil-a lemonade! To those not from the southern US, this lemonade is extremely sweet and tart. When I was a teen, I asked a friend who worked there how they made their lemonade so good – he got a 1000 yard stare and said “you really don’t want to know how much sugar we put in there”. I still drink it!
Likewise, Al-Rehab Soft is extremely sugary. It also has a bit of a laundry detergent floral scent underneath the lemon syrup. I kinda like the lemonade scent, but the floral laundry note smells a bit cheap and tickles my nose. If you want to try a higher quality version of this lemon sugar bomb, try it’s denser, more caramelly cousin, Kerosene Unknown Pleasures. Good sillage, average longevity. I have the rollerball but don’t ever reach for it. I prefer more complex gourmands.
shisha87-87 – :
This smells exactly, and I mean exactly, like lemon meringue pie. It smells so edible and gourmand; it’s quite amazing. It literally smells delicious. I detect nuances of lemon, caramel, vanilla, and other gourmand sweet notes. The caramel note in this makes it remind me a lot of Mugler’s A*Men. Although it’s sweet, it isn’t so sweet as to be cloying, surprisingly – though still I would use this in the winters rather than summers. The scent profile is one of the most complex that al-Rehab has produced, and this sort of reminds me of Chanel’s Allure Homme Edition Blanche. As for the performance, there is nothing ‘soft’ about it. Sillage is loud, while longevity is also strong. Overall, this is one of the most beautiful offerings from al-Rehab as far as $5 attars go.
4.5/5
valerik07 – :
Yep… Pink Sugar is a good way to sum this one up! My first Al-Rehab perfume, and probably not the last… Great quality for the price, glad I tried this!
Маргоша23 – :
I bought 2 fragrances from the house of Al-Rehab at the same time – 2 perfume oils in 6ml roll-on bottles : Soft and Zidan. I don’t know if these are the best fragrances from this manufacturer, but I think I will try them all. Insane quality for the price!!!!
About Al-Rehab – Soft:
On my skin it opens citrus-sweet, a little spicy, but it evolves quickly into a yummy gourmand. I had a sample from Louis Cardin – Sacred and it’s almost the same dry down : chocolate-caramel.
Like Zidan, it is insanely long-lasting, but with moderate, maybe a little powerful at the beginning projection.
LOVE IT!
Karin26 – :
~LOVE~
Soft is my favourite rehab perfume. It smells like caramel and sweet citrus. The scent lasts all day and gets more expansive before it calms down and fades into powdery caramel citrus before disappearing. I have both the roll on and spray. The roll on lasts longer and is more intense but I enjoy them both. For the price, this is an easy blind buy for anyone who enjoys sweet citrusy gourmand scents.
slavylik – :
I can’t wear Aquolina Pink Sugar at all, due to its over burnt “tar”/”plastic” smell on top of the pink cotton candy. But I dig SOFT and I dig it HARD 🙂
What a superb surprise this one offers me. I don’t get a big scent of lemon but that is totally OK, as I still enjoy the FRESH ride with this S.O.S (scent of SOFT) very much. S.O.S comes to a rescure when I need a perky moment on a boring day.
I guess caramel and musk work together in here presenting a similar scent to “licorice” that I detected. Combining with vanilla and jasmine, SOFT also gave me a vibe of “buttery coconut”. If you butter the baking pan, then pour the coconut cake batter into it, and bake it in the oven, that baked butter and coconut combo will smell like the “buttery vibe” of SOFT. The caramel here also got “blow torched” just RIGHT, to become a deliciously and perfectly burnt sugar, on top of a yummy cream brûlée. If I could just lick my wrists to satisfy my addiction to SOFT, I would 🙂
Ready or not “Al-Rehab”, here I come, not wanting to be “cured”, but hunger for more! Please help, S.O.S!!! :))
(And for the first time, a low quality bottle design does not bother me at all :))
Edik1312 – :
Wonderful fragrance. Sweet, sugared, caramelized, baked goods, vanilla, cotton candy….yet it is somehow not gaggy sweet or too “teenager”. I love it. Longevity and Sillage is good, but not amazing…but for a very candied scent, this is not a bad thing. Value of the century too! AL-REHAB Choco Musk and Zidan Classic are also two of my favs, and the price is so, insanely low!!! Safe blind buy if you like sweet scents!
pwmaufd – :
I learned of this brand through this website while searching for gourmand scents! The descriptions of this Soft fragrance were so vivid I just had to try it.
My first impression is that it is intensely sweet, gourmand and very lemony. After some time, it is much softer. I felt a little conscious wearing it as it was so strong (and I just rolled a little bit onto one wrist).
It is certainly a delicious and yummy scent. It does not smell like Pink Sugar or Cotton Candy to me but has its own special sweet, dessert-like uniqueness. This is by far my most favorite product from Al-Rehab.
bolt64 – :
this is NOT a dupe for Pink Sugar!! they are very similar and share the same base but they’re not at all the same. Pink Sugar has licorice (burnt licorice to some) and no lemon. this has LOTS of lemon, especially in the opening, and NO licorice at all. in the opening, soft smells like lemon meringue pie to me, which pink sugar never does, at all. but they do dry down to almost the exact same scent. Pink sugar is already so cheap though, if you’re craving it just get it because this is different enough that it doesn’t really satisfy me when I specifically want pink sugar, it is it’s own scent. I love pink sugar more because it’s a deeper scent to me, but this is amazing too when I want more of a distinctly “bakery” scent instead of, well, almost pure sugar. this also smells a bit more common and familiar, probably because vanilla and lemon is so prominent and its a pretty common note pairing.
proxomitron – :
Soft, sweet, sugary vanilla, and burnt marshmallow… mmmm….That’s what I get. Received a roll-on by a lovely member in a swap. Instant love! Gourmand-lovers dream! I get the connection to Pink Sugar. Al Rehab “Soft” is similar to Pink Sugar’s drydown—which I love. If you do not like sweet scents, go elsewhere. There’s something about Al Rehab oils that mesh well with my chemistry. I also own ChocoMusk. Great for layering or in its own. I would wear this sweet thing anytime, anywhere. Also got a compliment from my daughter immediately after applying on wrists and behind the ears, “Mom, you smell good-chi!” Pronounced like “Gucci”. Lol… Can’t go wrong with that, right? She tells it like it is—good or bad. Lucky me. Lol…
Lektis – :
For those that say “Sweet” fragrances is not for summer. Tell that to the lovers of ice cream, cotton candy, sweetened lemonade and the fruity deserts of summer. I’m now convinced, this fragrance SOFT is a summer masterpiece. It’s too lemony for the winter and cold weather. This is lemon and sweet, and it smells amazing on a woman. Sorry dudes, this is not a scent for a man. At least not here in the USA.
Vovchik Lysak – :
I love soft! It reminds me of black sugar without the light leather/”oud”. Now I know I love sweet scents. For me, this is delightful and feminine. I get sweet citrus and something edible, probably the vanilla/caramel combination.
Teliencushill – :
Smells like Barbie and My Little Ponies from the 80’s. I don’t wear Soft often, I think it’s not suitable for work. But when I want to feel like Barbie, this is the right choice. My mom hates this but my husband likes 🙂
nefendiy51064 – :
Just as a note, for anyone who doubts the claims of Soft’s nuclear longevity – I applied the oil before work one morning and it lasted all day. I then took a shower the next morning, applied a different perfume, and that evening after that perfume had worn off, all I could smell was the drydown of Soft. It smelled like vanilla air freshener by that point, but to be fair it was 36ish hours after initial application and a shower. I love this perfume, but this is a scent that requires commitment!
strannyk – :
Just a heads up: this is a wonderfully gourmand fragrance with sweet notes of lemon, vanilla, and caramel, but for anyone who, such as myself, is sensitive to the aroma of black licorice candy, there is a distinct note of it, as well, in this fragrance — a note which is left unlisted in the above olfactory pyramid.
smumpilmMal – :
Yummy! It’s a cloyingly sweet, sticky, clingy, sugary thing. I say that with the utmost affection. A warm, vanilla/lemon bubble bath with big, voluminous bubbles.
But be warned.
Everyone has mentioned that this is very strong. No one is lying. I don’t apply this on the upper part of my body at all. I could put this on the bottom of my feet and it would still take over a room. Soft has a way of making you feel like you are walking around in a sugar cocoon. That might sound pleasant, but trust me, you want this to wear gauzily like a spun sugar chemise, not sticky and stiff like a candy-coating.
I put a little dab on my fingertip and *lightly* touch my pulse points with it. Basically, I turn the roller just to where the oil is exposed and I touch that very gently and that is almost more than enough of this. Soft can be your best friend…or she can be your drunk best friend.
Kaktoos – :
in french sorry… bizarre au début (fort sucré et citronné) puis pas si mal, voir agréable une effluve arrive aux narines
MAIS surtout ne pas en mettre beaucoup, un point et c’est tout, j’ai voulu en rajouter en journée pour sentir mieux cette odeur sympa : écœurant comme jamais et nauséeux.
edit : really strong, i can’t stand it when i put more than two drop. the citrus is a bit suffocating in this one, and it’s not possible to layer it!
edit 2: no, I really can’t stand it, nauseated
SYAWKA2010 – :
Like taking a thick, French vanilla cheesecake with a lemon butter cookie and graham cracker crust, turning it into a sweater, and then wearing it at high noon in July.
This isn’t a complaint, it’s just my personal assessment. This stuff is DELICIOUS…and suffocating. No other scent exists when Soft is in the room. And I love it. My eyes literally rolled back when I first smelled it from the package. It’s “heady” and heavy and rich. It may be a bit much for some people, it’s a little bit much for ME. But somehow…I still keep wanting it anyway. And it delivers, the oil is amazingly persistent (like all Al Rehabs). A tiny bit in the palm of the hand, rubbed together vigorously and then smoothed over skin and hair and clothes…you’ll be catching the scent of it for days, and then when you think it’s all worn away someone will still come up to you and say you smell like cake. I’m working on applying it very sparingly, in discreet places, where it will bless me with it’s occasional appearance without overwhelming all of my senses. Because it wants to do that. I think it’s got Crack Essential Oil in it.
(And yes, this is very similar to Pink Sugar, but I can’t do a note by note comparison because I never owned the Aquolina myself. I can confidently say that if you DON’T like PS, you will not like Soft. They have the SAME dense [nearly plastic] warm spun sugar base. That being said, even if you love Pink Sugar, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll like Soft…because they aren’t the same fragrance. Either way, at $6 for a roll on, give it a try. If you don’t like it, pass it along to a friend. Someone you know will surely love it.)

For 3.99£ off Ebay – and a lasting power of a good day on clothes and the bonus of smelling wonderful ! BARGAIN of the century .
When i bought pink sugar – after all the fab reviews – i was attacked by burned acrid sugar .. i was very dissapointed – THIS IS PINK SUGAR AND HOW IT SHOULD BE !
A sweet creamy powdery lemony goodness – has an Ellen Tracey vibe to to it too .. this is really a great fragrance .. highly reccomended .
10/10
I also like chocolate musk from the rehab brand .
gnolly – :
This one is very creamy and sweet, i love it! It is one of my favourite Al Rehab perfumes. Longevity is good and it is very charming. I highly recommend it.
Roksolanka – :
Wow this stuff is good! I received this in a swap and I am loving it. To me, it smells like fresh cotton, lemonade, and cake drizzled in caramel. I kind of understand the comparison to pink sugar, but I feel like they’re cousins. Not sisters. Not twins.
Sillage is maybe a little soft, but longevity is awesome!
MJbecki – :
This is beautiful, it does have a similarity to pink sugar but so much nicer, it smells like sweet lemon muffins like the kind you buy from a coffee shop
Scum – :
EDP sprayer here. This has similar vibes with Al-Rehab Cotton Candy oil.
A boozy, cough medicinish cupcake. Surprisingly some woody notes too. I can also smell grapes(!?) and liquorice in the first 30 mins or so.
Drydown: cookies out of the oven! Buttery bundt cake! Baked goods! I get all these. And I get it now: this is actually a very good fragrance if you like gourmands.
Longevity: very long lasting. It projects moderately for maybe two hours. After that it will be on your skin very long time. I applied one spray on the back of my neck 18 hours ago. I just stroked my neck with my finger and smelled it: Al-Rehab Soft is still smelling noticeably. Btw this is how I wear it: a spray or two on the back of my neck. It’s just too much boozy smelling if I spray it on my chest or below the chin. But back of the neck works beautifully!
Is this cloying? Yes, a tiny bit, every now and then, even that one spray from the back of my neck. But still, recommended for all the cookie lovers. 😀
Btw, a layering suggestion: little squirt of Al-Rehab Soft and four generous sprays of Jeanne Arthes Boum Vanille Sa Pomme d’Amour.
сергей1982 – :
This is what I wanted Pink Sugar to be! Sugary, candylike, a bit fruity, warm, girly, and fun. Pink Sugar makes me gag for whatever reason and instantly gives me a headache, even on other people. It’s a scent that I should enjoy but don’t due to one or two note. This has a similar feel without being so heavy and cloying. I’m starting to love Al-Rehab for dupes of scents that I almost liked but had something in it that went wrong on me.
ceo54 – :
This is Bond No9 New Haarlem or Rochas Man but EDP and without the oakmoss; sweet marzipan,vanilla,creme brule, tarte tatin , burned sugar,amazing olfactory experience! This is the definition of a gourmand fragrance in my books and so addictive I can’t stop smelling it. A bakery gourmand bomb.
Puraarourcelt – :
This is so gorgeous, super sweet yummy lemon and caramel. I went through a little rollerball fast and now looking for the bigger spray bottle but its not easy to find it at the sensible price that attracted me in the first place here in Australia.
120 or more people say it smells like pink sugar but as much as I love pink sugar, this doesn’t smell like pink sugar to me, this has a center stage lemon and is more mouth watering and doesn’t have that burnt note.
Big Love ❤
Update, Sorry, me bad, I just put Soft and Pink sugar side by side and there is definitely huge similarities yes and as I said the soft for my nose is just more appealing due to the citrus and the lack of burnt smell. I hope that helps for anyone deciding between the two. xxx

Fragrance -Soft Al-Rehab
Bottle(roll-on) from – 2015
In my opinion,Soft is one of the best,if not the best fragrance from Al Rehab.It is a magical blend of citrussy vanilla and caramel,with a hint of musk and woodiness and a wisper of mysterious orchid and romantic jasmine.Soft makes me feel like I’m crossing the border between the human world and Fairyland and entering into the very well organised fairy festival,with outstanding fireworks,fairy cakes,magic tricks and illusions and enchanted forest music.It has some similarities to Acqua e Zucchero by Profumum Roma,Pink Sugar by Aquolina and A*Men by Mugler.
Highly recommend this one.
Longevity – 10/10(12+hours)
Silage/Projection – 9/10(several feet away for the first 3-4 hours)
Weather – best in early spring,autumn and winter.
Age – 20+
Compliments – 10/10
Scent – 10/10
Main notes according to me – vanilla,caramel,citruses,musk,orchid,woody notes.
The drydown is nice and i get some sweetness,vanilla and musk.
Emotions –
fairy festival,sweet,delicious,warm,intoxicated,seductive.
Occasion -best for nights out,date and romantic evening.
You’ll get compliments and LOVE with this one.Soft is amazing fragrance.
sasha3210 – :
This to me smells nothing like pink sugar or Delicious cotton candy, all I smell is lemon and a very synthetic one, gave me a headache and was so strong the smell was still there after washing it off.
SATIR–666 – :
I have this in the oil version and I love it! In the colder months I seem to want to break out my gourmands as I think cold weather and baked goods smell so delicious. So when I found Soft I really like it. It’s like a lemon pound cake Pink Sugar. When it settles into my skin it does smell so similar to PS. I find though that the oil lasts a very long time on my skin. The sillage and longevity are quite good. If fact I like to mix it with the Pink Sugar oil because the 2 together smell so good! If you like gourmands this is a great one to try I already have Golden Sand in the mail so I’m excited to smell that when it comes Plus for 5$ for a roll on you can’t beat it. Especially when it smells so good so for me I’m quite happy and can’t wait to try more oils from Al Rehab.
gnl347speagoessenda – :
First day it arrived (spray version) i couldn’t believe it smells like a bug spray to me. None of the list above i could detect, only the stinky smells of lemon scented bug repellent. Then i remember one fragrantican member advice to rest them for two days to a week before use.
So here i’m, after “give it a rest” for 3 days, finally can enjoy a fluffy sugary vanilla with a little bit of lemon from al rehab soft.
Edit : it last more than 3 days on my jacket, gives it a hint of vanilla and Caramel hot drink smell. Perfect for colder month. Yum!
foxi83 – :
It smells like creamsicle to me. Another really comforting, yet super inexpensive perfume oil. I agree with the other posters who say it smells like Aquolina Pink Sugar.
ostap11 – :
I love smelling this perfume on my gf. so sweet seductive smelling fragrance . longevity and sillage are great . last 12hrs on her skin, days on clothes . and i can still smell her like 2 feet away after 5hrs.
Uhmah74 – :
I don’t wear this out of the house. Its strictly an indoor scent for me – a relaxing, just-out-of-the-shower fragrance.
Lemony gourmand, but a touch too sharp to be the pound cake vibe people speak of for me. Vanilla in the dry down does make it mellow and more edible, though.
In my pyjamas I feel divine in this. I might struggle to rock this fully clothed, though.
Ecowcreetterm – :
This was a love at first for me but turned bad.
I enjoyed the sweet, lemony icing/ pound cake scent that is in fact gourmand and delicious. There is a definite heavier musk that choco musk.I wore it only twice, the first time I used a minute amount and still smelled it pretty strongly.
The second time I wore it to work and unfortunately I felt sick and nauseous that day. It was unrelated the perfume but I developed an aversion to the smell. However I did get compliments. I might give it to my niece as she lives far away and I think she will enjoy it. Good news, sillage and longevity are great.
The thing about these Al Rehab scents is they are very powerful. Someone on here suggested rolling the rollerball on your palms then applying ( do not put the rollerball on your arm neck etc).Sounds like a good idea to keep it less overwhelming more subtle.
alexxx – :
So beautiful. Fluffy *soft* clouds of cotton candy, caramel and lemon.. like another reviewer noted, it does have a lemon poundcake kind of vibe.. but not so dense and bakery-fresh imo.. more of a lemon poundcake-flavored cotton candy. I always forget that I own this and it’s such a nice surprise when I do remember and wear it. Longevity and sillage are incredible, this will surround you in a sweet cloud all day.
BarinOK – :
I find it difficult to articulate the specific components of this gorgeous, beautiful and truly representative of the name, soft fragrance.
This is irrefutably a hands-down, immediate “LOVE” for me.
I thoroughly adore the gourmand fluffy sweetness of this aptly-named beauty.
Scent: 9/10
Longevity: 9/10
Sillage: 10/10
Zlodei – :
I did not have very high expectations for this scent but I love it! So much better than choco musk because it doesn’t smell waxy. Smells like lemon pound cake mixed with an laundry detergent scent.On me its not very sweet at all and I dont get the resemblance to pink sugar.
longevity is always amazing on the perfume oils. Overall very fresh and wearable gourmand. Highly recommend!
neolegovich – :
I was very impressed with this it’s so similar to my favourite delicious cotton candy – very candy but with a twist of citrus which makes it soooo goood! The vetiver and woods give it a niche feel. The smell is absolutely amazing. Drydown pretty faint and doesn’t really last. But for this price…I guess it’s still a fairly good ride. Just considering whether I should buy more as I’m going through the bottle like a wildfire…
T62z – :
It’s true! it does smells like Pink Sugar.
🙂
But it depends where you buying one store I checked- smelled not like Pink sugar then I went to next doors and it smells exactly as Pink Sugar.
So I guess depends how old tester and roll on it from Al Rehab some notes might expired.
proffsashach – :
I bought this based on the review from YouTuber Lex Ellis who is rather good at reviewing fragrances. I don’t get any of the pink sugar or cotton candy vibe some people get. To me it’s mostly lemon, caramel and very sweet. It’s also extremely powerful. It reminds me of lemon pound cake so I’d say this is a gourmand. It’s neither masculine or a feminine, unless only women eat lemon cake. I never found gourmands to be feminine… when I smell delicious food its just that – food and nothing to do with gender. I mainly bought it out of curiosity and the raving review by Lex. But I found it too unisex for my taste. I gifted it to my wife and we both enjoy it on her. As for season, most people will say it’s for fall and winter but in reality these Attars are made primarily for the Middle East market where the climate is usually hot and dry in the day time and cooler at night… so any season would be fine. But no matter the season, do not apply anymore than a couple dots because this will choke out an entire house if too much is applied.
Lastly, for some reason there are people that can smell tobacco in the dry down. Actually I can see that. There are so many conflicting reviews on this fragrance you’ll need to try it yourself to see if you like it or not. And for $5 you can get a 6ml roller that will last a very long time. It’s not just an easy blind buy… it’s a no brainer for any collector or fragrance enthusiast.Chances are this little fragrance is going to put a smile on your face… and those around you. Remember, one small dab behind each ear lobe will do ya. Enjoy 🙂

I am a man and I like this. I do not wear it, but I sniff it a lot. It is very inviting. The notes listed are right on the money. I fell it is a great sweet scent. Just makes you smile.
vet323323 – :
When first sprayed,al rehab soft and aquolina pink sugar are almost identical.honestly it’s very difficult to differentiate them but that burnt vibe of pink sugar due to it’s liquorice is less intense here
After couple of minutes soft calms down to a warm,smooth,powdery and delicious scent.something very much like lemon cake while it still has a hint of pink sugar gene,that unique cotton candy/spun sugar+plasticy vanilla+burnt caramel thing which some people dislike and others love.I’m a pink sugar lover so no wonder I love soft too.soft is easier to like and easier to wear comparing to pink sugar so you need to try it even you like the idea of pink sugar but something in it bothers you
Unlike some other reviews I see pink sugar and ofcourse soft,a complex gourmand and I’m glad to have them both
As time passes,pink sugar gene(cotton candy )fades a little in soft and finally it dries down to something different which is very pleasant.it’s very powdery,very cozy but what makes me love it more is a very light whisper of powdery,musky florals which wafts through lemony vanilla powder and gives it a soft,feminine and clean undertone.it envelopes you like a delicious cloud.I love pink sugar but now I see that I love soft even more!among six alrehab perfumes which I own now soft and nebras come in the first place as absolute loves(though they’re totally different),chocomusk and dalal follow closely and have the second place.I love them too just one step less than first mentioned ones.rasha and silver come in third place as simple likes.I believe it’s a great rate.blindbuying six perfumes from one brand and disliking none of them,also all of them have great longevity and sillage,more than most of my strongest perfumes and I have them in spray bottles not oil versions!
If you like perfumes such as xerjoff lira or L de Lolita you need to try soft since it has the same caramel,powdery Musky vanilla,citrus thing,as if it’s the love child of one of them and pink sugar.a heaven for gourmand lovers

These Al-Rehabs are interesting and fun, and I have a little selection which I bought out of curiosity. A few are quite passable as perfumes, but this unfortunately, is not one of them. For me, at least.
On me, this starts out virtually identical to Givenchy’s ‘Play’ and quickly dries down to liquorice and plastic doll’s head vanilla. That’s it. No complexity – no body, this thing is bones ONLY. There is a thinness to it – a certain ‘something-not-quite-rightness’…
This is the perfume equivalent of tinnitus – it rings in my sinuses the way a familiar song blares through bad car speakers. You recognise the song, but it’s not nearly as enjoyable to listen to, stripped of it’s bass and mid. This thing is all treble, with all the tinny, high-pitched screechiness that that entails.
Givenchy ‘Play’ and Al Rehab ‘Soft’ are the same song on different formats – ‘Play’ is on vinyl, whereas ‘Soft’ is an MP3. Some people can’t te
