Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lovely EDP
Al-Rehab's Lovely is a divisive one. For some, it's a 'clean girl' staple, smelling like fresh laundry and shampoo. For others, it's a harsh, synthetic mess, more suited to cleaning products than personal wear. It's a risk you take, even at this price.

Our Verdict - Sakura EDP
A truly gorgeous, delicate cherry blossom floral, it's just a shame it lasts about as long as the blossom itself. Fleeting beauty for those who appreciate the ephemeral.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lovely

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean, and often light nature makes it highly suitable for casual wear, office settings (for those who enjoy it), and sports. However, its perceived shampoo-like or simple character, coupled with many reports of poor longevity, makes it less ideal for formal events or dates where greater sillage and sophistication are typically desired.

Sakura

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its soft sillage and poor longevity make it ideal for casual wear where close proximity is more common, and completely inoffensive for the office. It's too subdued for formal events but perfect for a quick, fresh pick-me-up during sports or everyday errands.
