Bade'e Al Oud Honor & Glory

I love this one. It opens with a ripe pineapple scent with a hint of black pepper. As it settles, the pineapple softens and makes room for a warm woody vanilla to blend into the mix. The dry down is phenomenal The black pepper in the heart is the tricky note. I’ve had this bottle for about four months now, and the pepper seems to get stronger over time. Because of that, it can be risky to overspray since the pepper can start to dominate the scent. That said, it’s a very pleasant and well-done black pepper — not that nose burning cheap cleaning alcohol smell that some brands try to pass off as a note. It smells natural, spicy, and adds real character to the fragrance. It definitely leans masculine because of this, so I wouldn’t really call it unisex or recommend it for women. The dry down is the true highlight. Once it settles, I can’t stop smelling myself. Combined with the price, it’s an amazing value. This is also one of those fragrances that needs time to mature. When I first tried it, it didn’t wow me — just a pineapple hookah with a woody vanilla dry down. Now it smells much richer and more interesting. A successful blind buy for me, and I would 100% purchase it again. With that said, there are a couple of caveats. The pineapple note isn’t juicy or hyper-realistic, and it’s probably the one area where the quality shows a bit. The fragrance is dirt cheap for what it offers and the quality is great, but I don’t want anyone expecting a fresh, photorealistic pineapple. It’s more like a color used in a beautiful canvas rather than the star of the show. Performance is great — it lasts well and never leaves me wanting more — but it’s not a nuclear, room-filling beast. and Even though the dry down is the highlight, it still projects enough that it can’t really be called an intimate scent either. Easy 8/10 regardless of price.

This is nice, very Coozy, the 1st time i smelled the decant it was only like the same base all Lattafa have, it was the worst thing ever, but after 3 weeks, it became wonderfull, it completely changed how it smelled haha now is powdery, pinneapple, the creme brulee, i get a really strong honey smell but its not on the notes, reminds me like a coconut pineapple powdery Nusuk, like Qaed al fursan unlimited the withe one had a son with the honey Nusuk, why nobody speaks about how similar is to QAFU and Nusuk? it is a lil bit sunscreeny, both unlimited and this, but with Honor and glory is much less, not soapy at all, and very very sweet, all I liked and hated with QAFU is fixed here, really nice, more like creme brulee marshmallow with tropical and coconut, the black pepper was a lil strong at the beggining but at the dry down everything is really creamy on this one, hate it with all my might the first 3 weeks, so yeah, let it macerate, i was even angry when saw it labeled as "Gourmand" when all i could smell was the benzoine and base, hell nah, now after weeks i can say it completely changes, cant even belive this is the same one as 3 weeks ago, went from metalic ambroxan poop with PiñaLoca lollipop to a really powdery sunscreen tropical creme brulee marshmallow gourmand haha , my more hated decant is now my next one to buy, you got me with this one Lataffa! I have to buy it now haha cant stop smelling it, but be careful, dont layer with Vanilla Powder or you will stink, mixes into a metalic poop sweat smell with the cheapest Iso and ambroxan, but alone, yeah, is great

Notice: Fragrance newb here, who is also broke, so take my review with a grain of salt! This is my first gourmand fragrance, and boy oh boy is it a banger! Picked it up on sale for about €20, absolute steal! Its so sweet and creamy and beautiful, whenever I wear it I just keep smelling it on my hand up close, lovely scent. From the first spray it hits you with amazing pineapple, cinnamon and vanilla, yum! Little spicy, depending on what my nose picks up, but creamy like a milkshake or -shocker- creme brulee. I don't notice the pineapple disappearing, it lasts all the way till the end on my skin and it doesn't smell synthetic to my nose either. Performance is great, tho I'd love it if it was a room filler thru and thru but hey, its great as is: 8-10 hours realistically, sometimes only 6-ish, when my skin is on the dryer side. On clothes it stays less, surprisingly, and from my sweaters it doesn't project that well either. Fills the room in the first hour, then arms length for like 2-3 hours, after that shies away to my skin. I just love respraying it as the day goes on cause it's so delicious. For me it's very versatile, I wore it to the office, dates, grocery shopping, wherever whenever. Got compliments in the office, from GF, family, so I'd say it definitely appeals to my audience anyway. 9/10, only wish it lasted longer and blew my nose up throughout the day

Luxury fragrance for a great price! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Opens up with a blast of a soft dessert-like pineapple then transforms into a sweet warm spicy vanilla. It gives of a visual of laying on a soft white plush blanket after you just baked a pineapple upside down cake. Later on, the mid-dry drown comes in and it reminds me of a slightly softer & spicier Invictus Victory Elixir (maybe spicier because of the cinnamon & turmeric but still very vanilla). The final dry down ends with a sweet vanilla creme brûlée with burnt sugar on top riding off deep into the night sky. This one definitely takes you on a journey but also stays consistent! ✯ 8hr+ on skin, 12hr+ on clothes ✯ Arm length projection (room filler if over sprayed) ✯ Can be worn year round but lowkey smells better at night ✯ Unisex, Niche quality Based on the reviews on YouTube and below, I personally don't get Nishane Ani, Havivat, or Initio Side Effect. However, it does have a similar soft airy/mossy texture like Bond No.9 Tribeca (without the chocolate) in the opening. I would also say the dry down has a similar burnt sugar note like the one in Qaed Al Fursan. Shoutout to Sheikhdot for the great price and quick 2day delivery (East Coast USA). I would definitely recommend if you love textured vanilla fragrances!

Honor & Glory by Lattafa I really enjoy this one. It’s easily one of my favorites right now. It opens like a sweet dessert, almost edible. Bright, sugary, a little playful. Then it settles and everything smooths out. The base is where it clicks. The sweetness pulls back just enough and you get a warmer, more balanced scent that feels clean, slightly creamy, and put together. This is made for a certain setting. Summer brunch, white pants, chest out, sunglasses on, Bellinis in hand. It fits that energy perfectly. Effortless but intentional. Notes lean into pineapple, crème brûlée, cinnamon, turmeric, vanilla, sandalwood, and cashmeran. That mix gives it that sweet opening with a soft, warm backbone once it dries down. The only real knock is performance. On my skin, I go nose blind around the two hour mark and catch myself checking my shirt to make sure it’s still there. It doesn’t disappear completely, but it definitely softens quicker than I’d like. I end up reapplying throughout the day just to get that fresh opening again. That part is addictive. From everything I’ve seen, this stands on its own rather than being a direct dupe, which makes it more interesting. Grade: B+ Projection: B+ Longevity: C Compliments: B $: ~$25

As a lover of pineapple scents when I first tried on this fragrance I was immediately smacked in the face by the sickeningly sweet pineapple top note and was initially turned off from it. But after maybe 10 minutes the pineapple died down and the creme brulee started to show itself and my goodness is that a great combination. About another hour in the pineapple was all but gone and THAT is when this fragrance truly shines in my opinion. The creme brulee is in full force now and it brought its spiced back up, the cinnamon, turmeric and black pepper all come together as hype men and fully support it. As its projection starts to fade it leaves a nice warm woody vanilla as a closer. Final ratings Longevity: 8/10 Got a solid 8 hours. skin scent sticks around for a bit after faintly. Smell(subjective): Opening 6/10, 10 mins after opening 8/10, dry down 9/10 easily if your a gourmand lover. Sillage: 7/10 2-3 sprays, decent projection for the first 3 hours probably 2 feet, starts to fall off after that. Price: As of date of review $25 that's like 2 big macs. End note, I can see this being worn pretty much all seasons but summer, its very VERY sweet, Unisex but I think I'd find this more on a woman then a man.

When I see overly critical reviews of something like this, I just imagine someone who graduated from sauvage EDT to creed aventus and now consider themselves a niche fragrance expert. This thing is tops $30USD for 100mL, and you get pretty much as advertised performance and note progression. I hate all these overly negative reviews like they’re trying to dissuade people from giving things like this a shot. You get solid performance for not even a fraction of the cost so I say go ahead and blind buy if you’ve got a few extra bucks. You’re getting a full bottle for the price of a travel spray with most designer fragrances at Sephora. Calm down with the nonsense of trying to rip apart a $20 dollar fragrance, because it ain’t that deep. Things like fragrance are subjective and if it didn’t perform as well for you then just say “didn’t work for me”, and move on. Aside from my little tangent, this thing fresh out of the box opens with the fruity creamy sweetness like in the note breakdown. It then dried down to a spicy, cinnamon heavy vanilla for me. Again good bang for your buck, and was definitely worth the blind buy with my experience.

I have worn this fragrance and can confirm that it DOES NOT smell like Hacivat, Qaed Al Fursan, Ani or any combination from these 3. All are amazing fragrances, and same goes for Honor & Glory. What I get from it is freshly squeezed & cold pineapple juice, as opposed to Hacivat & Qaed Al Fursan which both have the Grilled pineapple note. To my nose, there’s no spiciness in the dry down. It becomes a creamy scent, an ode to the Crème Brulee and Vanilla notes. Much is left to be desired in terms of the performance, as it has medium projection and quickly becomes a skin scent. Hopefully, macerating it for a few weeks would help. I’ll keep you all updated. All in all, I truly LOVE this fragrance and would love for Lattafa to keep making these “stand alone” fragrances, every now and then. It appears wearable across all seasons and let’s not forget the bottle....Immaculate!

insanely versatile. i just received it and sprayed it on, the opening is very addictive and delicious, its fresh and really sweet at the same time, it smells like nothing ive smelled before. imagine a slight pineapple and vanilla combo with a ton of turmeric and cinnamon, cinnamon and vanilla being the most prominent, while the pineapple freshens it up just enough to make it wearable in the summer too. i get the ever so slightest 1 million dna, likely coming from the cinnamon. honestly this smells like what 1 million should have smelled like. fresher, fruitier, sweeter and vanilla centered. i love this scent from lattafa, one of their best releases. creamy and fresh pineapple, vanilla and warm spices done to perfection, it smells like pineapple ice cream with a sprinkle of caramelized cinnamon sugar. absolutely beautiful and effortlessly addictive, 9.6/10

Bought this a year ago and never left a review. If you bought this blind like I did, it’s because you were intrigued by the pineapple and creamy combo. There is ZERO disappointment on the uniqueness of this niche profile. I’d say my only hesitation is if it leaned feminine... and it just doesn’t for me. Occasionally if I want to add a slightly masculine edge to it, I’ll layer it with a couple sprays of club de nuit intense man parfum... magical combo. My wife loves this scent on me... but she’s way more into fragrances then I am and has niche tastes. So I’ll tell you you will get noticed with this on. While some might not realize they even liked this profile in the first place, it’s too intriguing to ignore. It has a pineapple cream warm note to it, but there is something slightly sparkly to it... just bought a back up today.

I personally feel that a person with my similar skin chemistry can pull this off day or night any time of year. I suggest going a bit heavier in winter and a lot lighter in Summer and you probably will be able to easily enjoy the results wuthout choking others out. I would say that this is definitely a unisex scent as many of my lady friends compliment me by wanting to either try the scent or take it lol. The uniqueness is what makes this a "dumb reach" for me. At least where I live and travel I don't come across others who use ut so I can go out confident I wont smell like an NPC in the crowd. I strongly recommend this if you are a man who is confident with unisex scents or a lady looking to avoid the sea of overbearing floral fragrances also the price makes it easy to recommend to just about anyone.

Sexy. Summer. Desert. This is the king of all gourmand Lattafa fragrances. The smell is a three course desert in itself. Off the first spray it hits you with an insane amount of sweetness in the pineapple but as it settles you get that nice crème brule, cinnamon and tonka bean. I could go on about this fragrance and it's smell but it also has to preform on daily usage on which it is ok at. I seem to have to overspray to actually get good silage (sticks on clothes though) I feel you could use this summer and winter, day and night but by moderating the amount of sprays. I could say this fragrance could be too feminine for some people and I was worried about this when I got it but overtime I don't think its extremely feminine. Overall a very sexy, summer desert, gourmand, scent. Lovely.

I really adore this fragrance, for some reason it sparks my love for sweet fragrances as i have looked into them much more lol. The packaging is beautiful and so is the bottle! All i can describe the scent is, its so edible, like seeing the notes of creme brulee really made me imagine as if a real one is in front of me haha. Plus the vanilla is so apparent i really like it! One thing i dislike is the atomizer unfortunately. Yes its pressurized, but the amount of fragrance it shoots is really small (in my opinion), hence i need to spray it more just to “feel” it ykwim? The longevity is great for this one. On skin it lasts around 8 hours (w/o macerating) and for clothes around 10~ ish?... All and all i can understand why some people dislike this fragrance but for me i really enjoy it!

Wow. Some of the criticism here is really harsh. But then I hated it too when I first smelled this. I am a lady who loves oud. And now that my bottle has matured, I am addicted to this. That transition may take a couple of months, so do be patient with it. The overwhelming turmeric has mellowed out. Now, I get sugary pineapple, cashmere oud and sandalwood with an interesting hint of turmeric and pepper. Call it the Indian bias, but I think the spice notes add something a bit extra to the mix. Definitely unique and possibly polarizing. But I like not smelling generic so it works out. I’ve loved this ever since it matured and I really don’t know what’s not to love. Definitely unisex and perfect for warm (not scalding) and cool weather.

This is soooo good! The pineapple is dominant in the opening with a bit of spices and sweetness like sugary sweetness (the creme brulee). Just so good honestly. Before I got this reading the notes I was really against it but my girl said she smelled it before and loved it, I was skeptical, went and tried it and immediately bought it. It is just so good and I definitely overspray it cause it is just addictive. It’s giving ‘soft safe boy’ energy. Like a nice green flag boyfriend. It is masculine but not in an alpha bro type of way. Amazing for spring. Definitely a must have. Smell 10/10 🍍🍮 Longevity 9/10 stays on the skin all day, on clothes forever basically Projection 8/10 can be overwhelming for others since it’s a bit too strong.

It takes a while for it all to come together, but the longer you have it the better it becomes. It's such a beautiful scent... A pineapple and vanilla musk with pie crumb and just a hint of that spicy masculine aroma... It's so unique. It's not in your face, but especially that Créme Brulee note. It smells so good!!! I could actually envision the thin toasted sugar layer. When I first got my bottle I had second thoughts about it. There is such a huge difference now. It literally smells like eating a toasty pineapple upside down cake snuggled in your boyfriend's sweatshirt. When you get your Honor & Glory, let it sit for 6-12 months. As the name suggests, it goes from glory to glory as it's given time to develop.

So I received my bottle today. After the initial spray, I immediately thought this smells familiar ! In my personal opinion, this is very similar to a recent release by Navitus called ambrosia imperiale. While this is not an exact dupe, it has the same, sweet, slightly tropical, slightly gourmand facets no rough edges. Replaced the banana with pineapple . Removed the booze .It has the cinnamon, the cream, the slight earthy green nuisances like ambrosia imperiale . I can’t confirm longevity and sillage , because Ambrosia is eternal and airy . This is a beautiful all weather all season scent . I paid $60 on eBay . Probably could’ve waited for a better price but this is very very satisfying,and beautifully done .

On opening this has a real pineapple punch to it thanks to the black pepper, turmeric and moss. It initially leans slightly masculine but as it develops, the sweetness and vanilla start to become more evident and the pineapple although still very noticeable starts to take a back seat. I get more of the crème brûlée into the dry down and the pineapple has turned into a faint pineapple fritter with syrup which blends with the sandalwood very nicely. I’ve only had this for over a week and it’s changed already and the initial jagged-y edges are rounding off and will continue to. I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this and it’s such good value for the price, the presentation and bottle look great too.

When I first bought this fragrance, I really enjoyed it for some time. Over time though, it started to feel very straightforward and a bit one-dimensional to me. It’s pleasant and easy to wear, but it no longer excites me.Everyone talks about the crème brûlée note, but honestly, I don’t even feel it haha. To my nose, it’s just a creamy pineapple scent from top to bottom. That being said, it’s definitely a compliment getter and performs well for the price. You get solid value for money with this one.Overall, it’s not a bad fragrance at all, but I wouldn’t buy it again. There are plenty of other fragrances out there that I find better and more interesting compared to this one.

This Lattafa -Bade'e Al Oud Honor & Glory, has to be the most versatile fragrance for layering... let me explain... What a pineapple BOMB!... Not only do I enjoy it by itself, but layer it with anything tropical... for Spring or Summer... My favorite is an Aventus Clone - (Club de Nuit Intense Man)... Maybe not the best Clone, but it is what I have... or even... Vulcan Feu French Avenue... This fragrance will enhance any scent with a Tropical Vibe... and with a pineapple DNA will send it over the Moon!... I have had more FUN with this fragrance than any other in my collection!... Worth every penny!... and for $22, NO BRAINER!... It is a sweet candied pineapple...
