ALREHAB PERFUMES Susan is a fragrance. Susan opens with Floral Notes, Fruity Notes, and Amber, settles into a heart of Citrus and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk. ALREHAB PERFUMES's Susan carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A powerhouse floral that's either a budget-friendly delight or an overpowering blast from the past. Widely considered an excellent dupe for Givenchy's Amarige, its impressive longevity and projection come with a caveat: a heavy hand will leave you swimming in a sea of 80s/90s floral intensity.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and substantial longevity, Susan is not ideal for the office where it could be overwhelming. It shines on dates and formal occasions due to its elegant floral character, but its intensity means it's best applied lightly for more casual settings. It's much too heavy for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Susan opens with a bright burst of citrus and sweet fruit before settling into a rich, creamy floral heart dominated by white blossoms, particularly gardenia and tuberose. This opulent bouquet is underpinned by warm amber, a touch of vanilla, and a soft, lingering musk, creating a dense, honeyed sweetness that feels both luxurious and slightly vintage.
