Out of the 3 Al Rehab perfume oils I ordered, Sharquiah was the first to arrive. When I first applied to the skin, the scent was very strong and sharp - very spicy with a bit of an antiseptic wisp to it. After about 30 minutes it mellowed into a spicy woody scent, not sweet at all so can be classified as a unisex IMO. During the day it developed into a smoother, darker spicy-woody scent - very unusual - my BF liked it. I feel comfortable within this scent - will definitely wear it during the darker shorter days of the north European winter :) Some 10 hours later, the scent is deep, spicy and somewhat sweet... NICE !! One more star ;)
