What does Al Ambra Reeman smell like?
Reeman has the most minimal pyramid of the musk scents in the range. It opens with white musk, the cleanest kind of musk, close to the smell of fresh laundry. Musk is normally a base note, so placing it at the top means the scent starts the way most perfumes finish.
The heart is given as soft clean florals, with no flower named. The base is musk again, this time described as powdery. That is the whole list: musk, an unnamed floral accord, musk.
If you know Dubai Musk, the Al Ambra scent ordered most at FragranceGems, Reeman is its plainer relative: Dubai Musk adds citrus, black currant, magnolia and sandalwood around the same material. How Dubai Musk itself sits next to the shop's fruitier scent is set out in Dubai Musk or Ravenna.
What Al Ambra says about Reeman
The brand's own term for Reeman is a minimalist skin scent: clean, musky, powdery and softly floral. It describes the projection as light, and suggests the scent for spring and summer, for daily wear, the office and casual settings.
Who is Al Ambra Reeman for?
With unisex in its product title and three entries on its note list, Reeman has nothing in it to pull the scent towards one side. It will suit you if you want a perfume that recalls clean skin and fresh fabric rather than flowers, fruit or wood. Anyone who likes to pick out notes one by one will find little here: musk twice and one unnamed floral accord. Those who think of perfume as something rich and layered should read a longer list.
Al Ambra Reeman Eau de Parfum, 100 ml: size and concentration
Reeman is an eau de parfum in 100 ml, or 3.4 fl oz, with no second size on the brand's site. That is the standard format for this type at Al Ambra: all 21 eaux de parfum in this guide come in 100 ml. The brand rates the oil richness of Reeman as moderate and describes the blend as French-inspired.
Al Ambra Reeman compared with its closest siblings
Cecil starts from the same material, white musk, in the same format, a 100 ml eau de parfum. Then it names two flowers, violet and rose, a powdery one and a fuller one, and the brand lists it for women. Reeman names no flower at all, only soft clean florals. If a musk scent appeals to you but you want a recognisable violet in it, Cecil is the page to read next.
Set beside My Breeze, Reeman looks almost empty. White musk is the one named note the two have in common. My Breeze, an eau de parfum for women in the same 100 ml size, adds peony, rose and ylang-ylang as flowers, vanilla and amber for warmth and sandalwood as its wood. None of those six appears in Reeman. The question between them is how much you want on top of the musk: nothing, or flowers, vanilla and wood.
Shadow of Rose shares the musk and the 100 ml eau de parfum format, and the brand gives both scents the same word for projection, light. The lists differ in everything else. Shadow of Rose is listed for women and names rose twice, with jasmine, ylang-ylang, tonka and heliotrope, so its powder comes with an almond-like sweetness. In Reeman the powder is musk alone.
Where to buy Al Ambra Reeman in Europe
For now, Reeman is a scent that FragranceGems describes but does not sell. FragranceGems is an independent reseller with its own selection; tell it that you would like Reeman through the request button below. Doing so registers interest and nothing else: no order is placed, and the shop is not bound to add the scent. The closest thing it sells is Dubai Musk, built on the same white musk with bergamot, black currant, magnolia and white sandalwood around it. Black Forest Elixir lists white musk as well, but inside a far longer list that includes aldehydes, white peach and patchouli.
Request Reeman at FragranceGemsA request is not an order, and it is no promise that the shop will add the scent.
