The review
Stellar scores 7.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Rehab.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Rehab's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 81% less than Rehab — the 2nd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Initio Rehab is lavender and bergamot at first, cedar, vetiver and patchouli at its heart and sandalwood, musk and guaiac wood at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
