Ameer Al Oudh

Whenever you feel like wearing a powerfull Oud fragrance, but want it well behaved and not disturbing your fellow common wearer and lover of citrus scents, you may well elect Ameer Al Oudh as one of your favourites fragrances. Top notes are agarwood (oud), cinnamon and nutmeg; middle notes are jasmine and sandalwood; base notes are musk, vanilla, guaiac wood, amber, and cedar. Depicting the strength of this lingering scent, this fragrance main oud note is Oudh from Cambodia which yields earthy and woody smoky notes. In the opening you get the cambodian oud with full strenght, blended with cinnamon and nutmeg. This notes will stay active for the entire longevity of the fragrance. The heart notes serve mainly the purpose of building a bridge for the base notes blending, and the scent become sweeter and smoother then. The drydown is very pleasant with the strong different woods softened by the sweetness of cinnamon and vanilla, and the smoothed by a confortable amber. The performance is quite high and you are bound to have a 10~12 hours longevity and a sillage of more than six feet at its peak. My rates for Ameer Al Oudh go as follows: Scent Opening: 8.5 (my judgement) Scent Dry Down: 9.0 (my judgement) Longevity: 9.0 (2 sprays may last for more than 10 hours) Sillage: 8.0 (6 feet at its peak with just 2 sprays) Uniqueness: 8.0 (quite unique for a Cambodian Oud fragrance that is very wearable and not offensive) Wearability: 7.0 (mainly cold weather and a night scent; you may use it either in outdoors or indoors) Versatility: 7.0 (yes to enjoy it on your own, clubbing, socializing, events, restaurants, dates, romancing, intimacy, weaddings,... not good for the office, informal meetings, small spaces, work out, beach and places where you may sweat) Compliments: 8.0 (With an increasing number of people enjoying oriental woody sweet fragrances, I realy do think that this fragrance will please to a wide range of people of both genders; the number of compliments I received exceeded my expectations) Quality: 8.5 (Above average quality, good performance, quality ingredients, nice heavy flask, good sprayer) Presentation: 8.5 (above average neat presentation for an arab fragrance; simple and effective) Price: 10.0 (100 ml non tester for 12,5 £ + shipping) Overall rating: 8.30/10.00 I recommend this fragrance; it's a dusky (how can I say light dark?), resinous, oudy, woody, sweet fragrance with a bit of smokiness and that may please not only oriental fragrances lovers, both women and men and particulary in the pleasant drydown.

This is a typical unadulterated Southeast Asian and Arabic oud, just as it is. It bears a striking resemblance to Stercus by Orto Parisi, which is essentially an unadorned oud fragrance. I adore it. It's more akin to soil than manure, a deep clay scent reminiscent of lacquered clay pots painted with natural dyes, varnishes, and primers. It evokes the ceramic art of Pablo Picasso, African statues, something rustic, dark, deep, and earthy. There's also this decaying-resinous woodiness, precisely what oud is. It smells of artistic paints, a workshop ingrained with the scent of paint, wooden easels, and various canvases. It smelled amazing in the humid tropical climate of Malaysia, where I acquired it. In such weather, I can detect even lactonic and floral deep fantasy notes vibrating in the lower register. There's something utterly real, authentic, alive, and psychedelic about it. For me, such perfumes are perfect for solitary evening strolls in a tropical park, for those who enjoy pondering and meditating, being alone with oneself and nature, relaxing, and reconnecting with nature in the most archetypal sense. This fragrance isn't about making a statement.. it's a therapeutic journey... While there are many fragrances of this type, such as Stercus and others, this Lattafa is technically well-crafted.

Bought this hidden sleeper off Ebay from an overseas discounter from the UAE who's deals are so explosive, his prophets are going through the roof. All jokes aside, I never thought I'd like a scent better than YSL Kouros, but this frangrance is so damn BEAUTIFUL!! Warm, buttery, brown sugar with a smokey/plastic background that I rather enjoy. Almost reminds me of cinnamon toast being cooked in an ultra clean break room of a Reynold's Wrap factory. Some people talk bad about the plastic/band-aid smell. I love it! It rounds out the character of Ameer Al Oudh, giving it some dimension. Almost smells like a busy street in Dubai. Smoke/Hookah shops, factories, sweet stands. This is my new prized possession, and I'm proudly obsessed with it. I love spraying it in the palm of my hand and rubbing it in my beard around the Christmas season! I give Lattafa's Ameer Al Oudh 10 out of 10. It's a modern masterpiece and my new all time favorite fragrance. Everything else is just a distant second.

Simply a very decent low budget dry smokey oud fragrance. I agree with the review below noting this as Cambodian. I have been on an oud journey for 2 years & have bought some very expensive oud oils that smell like hay soaked in sweat then rolled in different farm animal poo , then left in the sun tto dry . This & raghba are both amazing value & a great way to start a love affair with oud . But, avoid raghba wood intense , it's very synthetic to my nose - plastic woods .. Blahhhh & for the newbies - try Al rehab's - sultan al oud 3ml oil - unbeatable value

This is a earthy oud but not in an animal or human way. It smells like walking into your grandfather's dirty, old workshop with a tray of vanilla and almond cookies. Your grandfather lives in the forest and his workshop has never been cleaned. Dirt, axle grease, and sawdust from the 1940s are haunting the air and the forest smells are humming in the background. I bought this due to the hate. Being a contrary person, what others hate, I tend to love and I was not disappointed. I find this to be a very comforting smell but it isn't for everyone.
