Rehab

Rehab went from decant to FB at Mach speed. It is aptly named (“Therapy” is already accounted for by Initio lol) and the scent I reach for to unwind with a deep sigh. It is a very unique scent profile in my collection, imparting a warm, sugared lavender sillage with a gently woody essence. It’s definitely unisex but maybe a little feminine-leaning because of the soft sweetness in the dry down on my skin, but want my BF to try it to see the difference (plus, double Rehab sniff-ability? Yes, please!). I expect to drain this bottle quite quickly as adulting is hard and Rehab is my current therapeutic obsession.

Gifted this to my husband for his birthday today and it’s gorgeous. It was on his wishlist but I had not smelled it. It was so not what I expected from the name and the lavender note, I thought it would be more aromatic and spa like. But rather it has a creamy character and softly warm spicy but still clean. It is extremely unisex and likeable. I can’t believe no vanilla is listed and realise that the deep dry down reminds me of Fat Electrician by ELDO, presumably from the way the vetiver is done, in combination with the secret vanilla. A crowd pleasing gem, lovely for spring and fall.

I really do love this fragrance but it immediately reminded me of Spice bomb, and when I did a spray test comparison the similarities made me realize you do not need both of these. This is just slightly more elegant feminine version of it. But I honestly prefer the Victor & Rolf Metallic Musc over both of these. There’s mor dimensionality to that one and it lasts so much longer than the OG and Rehab on me. But overall a beautiful woody fragrance with a patchouli note done to perfection. If you like Spice Bomb you’ll like this. Just a bit repetitive

This is gorgeous! In the beginning I wasn’t convinced. Smelled too green for my taste, slightly masculine leaning and even faded quickly. But when I hopped in the shower.. OH DEAR. Somehow the humidity or the heat did their magic and this fragrance reactivated. It started projecting like crazy and out came a beautiful clean scent. I can’t even describe how amazing this smells now i can’t stop sniffing my wrist. This will be my second Initio for sure with my first one being Paragon. This house just works so well for me I’m in love.

Haters be hatin' - this is my most complimented scent. I don't think there has been a time I wore it without getting complimented on by both men & women. Soft woods, tobacco- but I get a slightly sweet rolling baccy type; not like pipe. Clean, comforting. It's harder for me to describe specific notes and much easier to describe how it makes me feel - clean, calm, relaxed. Basically a warm hug for me. I like to layer with the Musk Therapy body lotion. Perfect for office and airplane. Maybe we should hand it out to TSA staff?
