All Rehab Dakar is a Drakkar Noir clone that's very well done and dirt cheap.

It’s better than the scent it’s a clone of, at least the current formulation of Drakkar Noir.

Dakar by Al Rehab is more of green aromatic soapy take on Drakkar Noir DNA, so it's still not a very close dupe of it.

Those are some of my current go-to's 😄 I found a ME dupe called Dakar by Al-Rehab that smells and performs like the original Drakkar Noir formulation.
