Our verdict on Rabab Gems: Favourite

This one's a divisive clone, with some hailing it a masterpiece and others complaining of 'chemical messes' and 'rotten pineapples'. If you're a fan of Xerjoff Accento, you might just find your new signature for a fraction of the price - but dabblers beware.

Best Seasons

Best For:

Spring Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its powdery and musky accords with a fresh undertone make it versatile, suitable for casual outings or dates where you want to intrigue. However, the strong initial blast and potential for 'chemical' notes (as reported by some) might be too much for a formal setting or the office, and it's certainly not a sports scent.

About

Rabab Gems opens with a burst of sweet pineapple, quickly joined by the heady, green floral of hyacinth and the soft, elegant powder of iris. The heart introduces a subtle spicy kick from pink pepper alongside delicate jasmine. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, underpinned by earthy vetiver and patchouli, sweet vanilla, and a warm amber embrace. Despite its composition, many find it surprisingly fresh.
