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.

I hated this at first, it smelled overwhelmingly masculine and slightly like gasoline. It has sat for about 2 weeks and it's developing into a dry brown incense and sugar type of smell, but the sugar is very discreet. This is basically raghba minus the powder which I appreciate. This layers gorgeously with sakeena and khamrah for those who need the added sweet fruitiness. Tldr This is straight woody brown sugar, project's really well and pairs with vanilla mod so well. Got complimented by both men and women. Really good winter frag.

Added my thoughts back in 2021. Further down the line, I can say I love this one. It's the oft-forgotten little brother of Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud - always forgotten about and its namesake is often used for that one. I love the 'gungy' oud that develops in the dry down. It has become a comfort scent to me - something I'll often just spray to feel good. Then I pick up a jumper or hoody a few days after wearing it and still smell it lingering. Winter cosiness in a bottle - and for the price, you can't go wrong.

This is one of the best fragrances i own, i cant believe i got it for less than 40 dlls. Is a rare blend of sunset forest burning, with oud and spices in the background...there's also cinnamon and a strange note of cannabis...if you are looking for something very different and sensual, this is it. It is a masterpiece and a very unexpensive longlasting one.( a big plus: this is a non rosey oud) 100/100 RIYL: M7 ,Donna Karan Black Cashmere, Fahrenheit Absolute.

A bit brigther and more reserved than the intense version. My concern was that it would be less potent than the intense version but this fragrance has no problems with longevity and projection. To my nose this smells luxurious, refined, and generally well put together. This is one of my favorite wearable western/eastern oud fragrances (it's slightly more oudy than m7 oud). This has a lot less sweetness than the intense version. 9/10.

I got this about a month back. I'm still not quite sure what I think of it. I definitley don't dislike it. I get an almondy vibe from it, and for some reason it makes me think of Dr Pepper. Sometimes the woodiness comes out, sometimes it hides under the sweetness. It doesn't have the 'grittiness' of Raghba so seems much smoother.

Oud, sugar, labdanum and woods; seems musk is present, too. No vanilla to my nose. nothing like Raghba though people keep comparing it; this is oud, dry, woody, little bitter but warm with the sweet sugar offsetting it; layered with Raghba Wood Intense it smells like cigarettes and I love the two together.

First day, it smelled weird. Second day, it smelled boozy. Third day, OMFG what a bomb. Rich, dark, woody, nocturnal and lasting forever on clothes. Tip: spray it on your shirt 30 minutes before wear it. Neck magnet

Anyone who loves strong tobacco with musk must get it!! It’s soo dreamy when mixed with few sprays of some fruity florals like rainbow by Britney Spears or I am JC 😍😍! Can’t get over it ever !

Sweeter, not so green black afgano brother. Big sillage, bigger longevity, worth it for the pricepoint. I would recommend it if you are into smokey fragrances

one word cinnamon, cinnamon cinnamon (3words sorry) absolutely lovely - keep it under the radar don't shout too much about it less than £20 a bottle.

Wou wou wou !! The best fragrance ever Overall 10/10

Orto Parisi stercus in a different bottle

I really don't see what any of these negative reviews see. Ok.....this is cheap sure. Ok this is not a top end scent....sure....but disaster in a bottle etc? It really isn't. Its a cheap Lattafa....which means most of the time its gonna be a hit or miss, a gamble. This one pays off huge for the price. I had this only around a year now and unlike many other more expensive and more popular fragrances after only 2 weeks it was more than ready to wear. Day one had a little too much zing and chemicals...but it settled down fast into what is actually a presentably decent and subtle fragrance. Despite the listed notes....I got nutmeg, rose, a light creamy base of almonds/pistachio and warm cedar or oud. barely any amber or vanilla. Its a light rosy nut scent to my nose with woody basenotes. Its first spray is sweet and gentle, not sharp or sickening, it grabs immediately but never bullies, the heart accord notes of nut and rose are gorgeous and the drydown is a mature wood that gently projects only close to the skin. This is far from one of those room-filling statement makers for dominating types. This is gentle and blended well. I was surprised at the quality for such a cheap fragrance, expecting far far worse from hateful reviews and ratings scores on this and other websites. This isn't earth shattering or original i guess, but this is a warm, woody nutty gem for the price without anything to dislike about it. I don't understand the hate for this fragrance at all. Its smooth, calming, pleasantly present but unobtrusive, sweet but not sickly or overtly synthetic and it's work/enclosed space safe. I would call it more male but an arab woman or mature confident woman could definitely wear this. I think this a good deal at the price point, longevity is good at around 7 hours, its not going to be noticed too much during that time though because its a skin scent in my humble opinion. Its one for spring days or summer if you want to rock some nutty rose in the sunshine. I can't find anything to bitch about other than the low projection, but then again i want low projection sometimes, something subtle and gentle. Depends on the mood and situation. For those looking for big similarities....this is also NOTHING WHATSOEVER like its sister fragrance by Lattafa, Ameer Al Oud Intense. Not even remotely. Not even on the same planet, nor do they abide even in the same solar system. I don't even know why they share the same name. I recommend this one as one of the finest cheap Lattafas out there, just let them sit a while folks. You have to learn that with Lattafa, first impressions are usually wildly inaccurate and they rarely smell good until at least 2 months down the line. Haters gonna hate, whatever the low price. This my friends, is life. I can't see what all the negative hateful reviews are bitching about, i really can't. Maybe some people just hate arabian scents, because this is a pretty generic and standard middle eastern scent. No drama here. 8/10 from me

Finally! It is added to the directory! Now here comes the challenging part: trying to give you a short solid review of this AMAZING fragrance. To start off I want to go ahead and mention that Ameer Al Oudh smells nothing similar to 24 Gold of Scentstory. It's Ameer's sister Raghba which is the one who smells similar to 24 Gold. Now let's shine the spotlight back on Ameer. This a sweet (yet totally NOT cloying) woody, deep fruity, spicy classy fragrance. To me this smells like a freshly cut aromatic log, drenched in cherry brandy and dusted off with some fine cinnamon to say the least. There is still some other interesting notes in there I can't quite recognize. This fragrance has an awesome projection. This WILL get you noticed. With just 2 sprays you are left with an immense fragrance scent cloud. It also lasts for a LONG time. On your skin easily 24 hours or more. On your clothes two to three days easily ( or even more ). On my skin it projects easily for about 8 hours. And mind you that I have a type of skin which normally soaks up fragrances and diminish their projection power. This scent is completely unisex, it assimilates with your chemistry. I love this fragrance so much that I often just sneak into my closet, open the cap to smell it right off the sprayer. And quite some times I just spray it in the house just to enjoy the smell of it. This is really addictive to me. Words of advice: Preferably do not wear this in warmer seasons. I'd advice people to wear this in chilly to colder weather, for that is when it's able to smell it's best. During warmer weather I find it, somewhat suffocating and a bit sour. And also go easy on the trigger. Two to three sprays are really enough. Sometimes I wish I didn't get to know this fragrance that soon. Because now I keep comparing it's quality, performance and scent to all fragrances I try. And many fragrances I have been able to try are not able to come anywhere near the performance of Ameer. And also due to fact Ameer is rather inexpensive, and is a complete bargain for what you are actually getting, I then expect and demand more from any fragrances which price wise are more expensive than Ameer. I think I must admit that Ameer is like a revelation to me. It also showed me that amazing and high quality fragrances can also come at a very affordable prices. Ameer al Oudh, I am very honored to have met you ~!~

There's something really dark and mysterious about this fragrance that keeps me coming back for more. When I first smelled this I'll admit that it did smell a bit "weird", but that's what I love about it. Definitely has a middle eastern vibe to it also. Reminds me of those middle eastern charcoal incenses that you can find in your local Arab deli/convenience store(if you live in NYC you know exactly what I mean), but much nicer. This juice is BEAST so go easy on the trigger. Works beautifully in the cold fall/winter months, but DO NOT wear this in the summer its way too strong and cloying for the heat. Picture yourself in Egypt on a chair overlooking the pyramids on a cool breezy night with a glass of wine. Totally at peace peering into the darkness and onto the night sky full of stars and a bright moon shining through. Awfully quiet, beautiful, and yet an eerie but beautifullly mysterious presence emanating from the pyramids deep in the distance. This is fragrance is that scene captured in a bottle. Beautiful, dark, mysterious, elusive, and different. It's a bit mature and masculine, so not everyone can pull it off, but if you can then it will be fantastic on you. It goes perfectly with a black suit, or a black dress shirt and dress pants. Something you wear when you're dressed up for a night out. More suited for the strong, silent but confident man who has validation deep within himself. One who doesn't seek validation or attention from others, but strangely gets noticed for his confidence and peace of mind. Teens and young adults in their early 20's this really isn't for you. It's a 30+ frag IMO. If you're a bold, confident, low-profile, "cool calm and collected" type of man, then this is a fragrace for you. And for the price, you can't ask for more.
