Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst

The initial smell is sweet and warm. The OG ans Initio Rose apparently are mich sweeter where Amethyst leans more woody. For me, that qas a selling point. You immediately take in the pink peppery herbal lean with the rose and amber. Its amazing. What I love is that it is sweet but not cloying, not a gourmand sweet but very jammy, warm and rich from the Bulgarian and Turkish combo. The bergamot is very subtle, only at close up, an inch from the skin for me. The rose and amber really shine in this, the oud plays an accompaying note rather than overpowering it. Its a very robust rose but surprisingly not overwhelming. It has a very velvety smooth scent and the jamminess is excellent. The oud really brings a masculine edge to it bit still remains safely unisex. This has to be one of the most unisex rose/oud perfumes I have ever smelt. Its not animalic, barnyardish oud. Its hard to tell but it does have a subtle sweet smoky vibe lile sambawa or borneo oud. There is a hint of medicinal quality. I have come to notice Lattafa perfumes always have these upon first spray of new bottles. But its not strong ans I find it pleasant. This scent is easily 9/10 for me now, so I can only imagine how enjoyable it will be with maceration. This is definitevely unisex and the rose just plays with the oud and amber so well in this fragrance. It is perfect for cooler weather and especially evenings. Summer this wpuld be far too jammy in my opinion. A dry heat would work well. Very elegant for a woman, and has a classy vibe for a man. A guy wearing this definitely is making a statement. I noticed many men in the reviews have mentioned the compliments they receive. Its longevity is insane. 10-12+hours easily on my skin. Its got a good scent bubble. Its not loud but it projects that people will smell it and unlike a rugged masculine charm, it carries a sense of confidence. I think any man wearing rose in the west has to have a semblance of being comfortable and self confident. In the Middle East, this perfume would be very beloved. It smells formal but charming. All in all, it just is one of the best perfumes I have ever smelt. This was a total blind buy on my part and it is one of my favorite scents now.

Badee al oud amethyst is an amazing 9.5/10 Opening is a standard rose perfumes then it dries down into a jammy vanilla rose, Absolutely monstrous longevity and projection. For $20 usd and roughly 16 pounds, it’s great. From Amazon it came overfilled which is always a good thing gave me a little scare though, also came with a tester for a women’s perfume. I saw someone describe it as something a prince would wear and I completely agree, it's like a dark gothic vanilla rose Pros: Very signature scent worthy, it's my signature scent. Very unique, you will almost never run into anyone wearing something similar. Beyond beast mode projection and longevity, survived a shower, then an 8 hour sleep and was still alive. Extremely high compliment factor, many many compliments. The cap is a normal slide on so no particular complaints there, and the atomizer is wonderful. Great presentation with high quality sturdy box. The oud is in the background and not a strong choker like oud for glory Cons: Definitely not a good option for rose haters, oud is not very noticeable here. Opening could be rough for some people I love it but it definitely could be described as smelling like a grandma for a bit. It requires you to be confident to wear it and will not be good for casual wear, it can be done, it's just not the best for casual. You will be choking people out very hard in the summer, only in AC or 70 degrees F or less Misconception: No it does not have a gas or paint like smell, those bottles just need maceration. Not a safe blind buy, however it's so cheap it doesn't even matter. For me it leans feminine unisex, but I don't care about it.

My favourite Lattafa release. Ever. 'Amethyst' was strong on my radar thanks to Glam Finds and Joy Amin. Pleased to say it's another gorgeously SEXY banger! This is in the same category as PDM Delina, Mugler Angel Nova, Nina Ricci L'extase Rose Absolue & Initio's Atomic Rose but mostly 'Atomic Rose'. Edit: lord my colleagues/friends told me this was way too seductive to wear in the office so that should tell you something! But I'm wearing it anyway. 'Amethyst' in the opening / first 3-5 minutes reminds me of 'Oud for Glory / Greatness' more than 'Atomic Rose'. It has a bit of an alcoholic blast for 10 seconds. But as it dries down, no joke I get 80% 'Atomic Rose'. Complete dry down is basically 'Atomic Rose' but more amber. Definitely a clone of Initio's rose 🌹 rather than Montale and Mancera. A prominently sweet, youthful rose. Unisex leaning masculine. I don't get any metallic facets on my skin, a bit of fruity tartness instead. More masculine in the opening and gradually morphs a little feminine in the dry down. Very classy, beautiful, mysteriously sultry. Now for the performance: This isn't a beast mode scent, however 'Amethyst' performs much better than designer perfumes and lasts around 7.5 hours on my skin with rather good sillage. I sprayed once, and it easily fills up a room! Definitely stronger than 'Oud for Glory'. Honestly I'm so glad that YouTubers raved about this hidden gem. I was worried it might be too mature and synthetic, but that's not the case here. I adore Initio's 'Atomic Rose' , and this is the best dupe on the market so far! Please bring out more Lattafa!

Try layering a spritz of Badee Al Oud for Glory over Amethyst. Amethyst is a bit stronger than Oud For Glory but since the oud and Saffron notes are so similar in each, they layer perfectly together and if ya want Amethyst to smell a bit more "Masculine" then this layering trick does the job. Though Amethyst is freakin' AMAZE-BALLZ on its own for men and women alike, I just like switching it up bc so many people wear Amethyst out there, I feel this combo makes it just a tad more unique. And again, since Amethyst is more potent than Oud for Glory, it shines through easily even if ya spray OFG over Amethyst. What Oud for Glory does is it adds a slightly more smokey/woody naunce to this already fantastic dna. Ya know, I STILL cannot get over how ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS this fragrance (Amethyst) is! Especially for this insanely inexpensive pricetag! And the performance! See, this is why Im not buying the exuse about "Ifra/Reformulations" causing our favorite fragrances to be basically NEUTERED as far as performance goes when reformulated. Evidently Badee Al Oud Amethyst is made of "Cheap ingredients" yet it smells so beautiful and again, performs like a BEAST! So then I say to these"Designer/Niche Houses" TAKE NOTES FROM THE "CLONE BRANDS!" They're putting ya'll outta business and it aint just bc they smell amazing, its also bc of the fantastic performance which in many cases outshines the originals!! LOL!

This was my first blind buy of a rose-focused fragrance, as I wanted to expand my beginner collection and explore something beyond the usual masculine profiles. When I first received and smelled it, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was, even as a man wearing a rose-forward scent. It performs very well in both longevity and projection, yet it never feels overwhelmingly aggressive. That balance makes it easy to control how strong you want it to come across. With 4–5 sprays in the morning before a full day at the office, I can still clearly smell it on myself when leaving work in the evening. The rosy profile may not appeal to every man, but for those willing to be a bit adventurous and stand out with a distinct character, this fragrance does it beautifully without becoming intrusive. I noticed that some reviews here mention weak projection or longevity. While I wouldn't consider this a beast-mode fragrance, there is a possibility that some of these impressions are influenced by nose blindness from overapplication or extended exposure. In my own experience, my perception of Amethyst gradually became weaker over time, yet people around me still told me that the scent was quite noticeable. This makes me wonder whether some of the reported performance issues may be due, at least in part, to olfactory fatigue.
