Lattafa Bade’e Al Oud Honor & Glory for Unisex Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce / 100 Ml

Great for the money
So, this is my first bottle from Lattafa. For the reference, I own and owned lots of $150+ per bottle perfumes and will be mostly comparing it against that base.It comes in a decent soft touch box, nothing super luxurious but the value for the money is there. The bottle itself could be absolutely gorgeous if not for the massive plastic cap which I didn’t appreciate. Might look into replacing it just so it doesn’t take so much room on the shelf.Now to the perfume itself: I tested it on the blotter, on thick velvet fabric worn on skin, and on the skin directly. On the blotter, and basically on any kind of material that wouldn’t be in contact with some kind of heat source (e.g. skin) it is much more of a somewhat abstract flowery, soapy scent with a decent but light woody/ambery base that I can assume comes from some Iso E and the like materials. Very well balanced, “clean” and pretty sophisticated.On anything that touches the heat source and would bring out the base notes faster – a good amount of resinous and somewhat smoky facets come out, something that you would get from, let’s say, labdanum. The assumed Iso E base is still there, as well as some rosy and dried fruit notes, and limonene-related materials to balance out the smokiness. All that if you smell the fabric or skin directly. In the sillage, on the other hand, you get more of the rosy/soapy and powdery notes.Overall impression of the scent: well done for the money, nothing revolutionary but it’s well rounded and more on the grown-up side. Doesn’t smell like a $20 bottle at all, moderate sweetness, moderate floral facets, rich resinous and ambery base and “clean” soapy impression, which by itself is a pretty unique combination to achieve.As for the cons:Please note that I live in a dry high desert climate, and everything evaporates and underperforms here. Besides, it’s winter. So the perfume currently sits a bit too close to the skin than desired, and doesn’t have an impressive sillage. This kind of climate will also shorten the longevity by a few hours. But keep in mind that you live in wet climates and are wearing it in the summer that could be a very different impression.For the price, I couldn’t be more happy with the purchase, it’s a keeper. Will test it in different seasons and situations but it surely won’t be collecting dust on the shelf.Also, I appreciate the fast processing, shipping and Sunday delivery from the seller, great work.I recommend it as a pretty safe blind buy.

Amazing and long lasting
This fragrance is top notch! The sweet pineapple crème brûlée is divine and the dry down is very pleasant. There’s a warmth and coziness to it. Definitely a fall/winter scent, not sure I would wear this in warmer weather but I’ll definitely try it. This is a unisex scent, if you enjoy sweet scents. My brother had it first and when I asked him abt it, it smelled great on him. The bottle is heavy, feels great. Only complaint is the cap. It’s plastic and was cracked, even though the box was wrapped and sealed. Not sure how that happened but I’ve read other reviews with the same experience.

Wow! Very different, very glorious.
Read all the reviews, watched a lot of reviews on YouTube just get a gauge of what I was getting. Most said “it smells like upside down pineapple cake”. Idk never smelled that, but this here! This stuff right here! This stuff right here smells heavenly! Still have to see what the dry down smells like and the scent hours later. But I’m sold on this. Definitely fruity, sweet, woody, the fragrance has a presence about it. Definitely unisex, leaning more masculine to me.

Excelente perfume!!La verdad no venía muy bien envuelto incluso la caja se dobló pero es algo que no afectó el producto, respecto al aroma lo amé es especiado , avainillado, amaderado, lo usaría más para otoño porque si es algo fuerte cito, el aroma es duradero y la estela también dura,

The opening smells like a strong rum + coke but dries down after an hour or so into a wonderful leather scent similar to Penhaligon’s Halfeti. There’s hints of spice, oud, sandalwood, and lavender. This scent leans masculine but definitely can be worn by women. The dry down lasts all day.

Arrivato in tempi brevissimi, la confezione è davvero bella ed il profumo è intenso,dolce e succoso, appena l’ho indossato la sera stessa è piaciuto talmente tanto anche a mia suocera che ne ho comprata un altra confezione anche per lei, anche la seconda è arrivata praticamente il giorno dopo! Spettacolare!
