This is a great alternative to PACO RABBANE ELIXIR. Great smell, I want to say it's about 85% to 90% accurate to the original. It opens up strong and as far as performance I haven't tested it yet because I just got it a few days a go and it's maceration inside my refrigerator for the next two months. This is the process I always do with all my fragrances. I definitely recommend this fragrance and I know that some people might say it doesn't have a smell or it's pure alcohol you need to understand that these Arab fragrances need to be put to the procee of maceration for at least one month and you need to spray it at least 10 times put it back in it's box and into the refrigerator I promise you it will change.
