Khalis Oudi (Pure Oudi)

I've had my bottle of Khalis Oudi (Pure Oudi) for well over a year, so I've had time to test it thoroughly. My initial impression was very favorable; I believed this fragrance to be a byproduct of blending together two other Lattafa fragrances: Raghba and Ameer Al Oudh. I love Raghba (similar to ScentStory 24 Gold) but it is perhaps just a touch too sweet for me. For a example, if one were to enjoy two spoonfuls of sugar in their coffee (which in my Empire is a Capital Offense - LOL!) then Raghba is like a cup of coffee with a third spoonful of sugar added. Moreover, I really like Ameer Al Oudh but there is just something a little odd about this one (e.g., cinnamon sprinkled hootchie that needs needs to be washed a little better). To me, Pure Oudi smells like a less sweetened version of Raghba blended with the best parts of Ameer Al Oudh...just substitute the sugar note for a soapy accord and viola! I think it is fair to say that Pure Oudi is my most interesting of the eight (8) Lattafa fragrances I currently have in my scent vault. It's worth checking-out if you like the aforementioned fragrances IMO. I've worn all three fragrances recently and Raghba and Ameer Al Oudh project quite strongly whereas Khalis Oudi is much quieter, but certainly not soft. Additionally, I found it to be a bit more elegant/versatile and has somewhat of a fresh vibe along with that slight soapiness. It's a safer bet for the office sine it's far less sweet than Raghba, somewhat different than Ameer Al Oudh, stays more in control and is woodier than both. To correct my initial impression...while Pure Oudi has similarities to the two Raghba and Ameer Al Oudh, it is certainly different; it is lighter, fresher and woodier (think sandalwood, cedar, guiac wood and not so much oud). Performance is solid; lasts 8-9 hours on my skin and projects moderately, which is fine for this kind of scent. Finally, I blended a 1ml decant of Ameer Al Oudh and Raghba together and compared it directly to Pure Oudi. They were somewhat similar, but also very different. Surprisingly, the blend turned-out to be a very nice 'sweetened' Ameer Al Oudh, which I really enjoyed.

I've long been a lover of all things Oud, but admittedly only just started to explore the world of Arabian-made fragrances, particularly those of the Lattafa and Arabian Oud houses. I give my thanks to the beautiful and masterfully composed Arabian Nights by Jesus del Pozo for getting me into these lovely fragrances. In the last few weeks I've gone on a perfume binge, picking up Raghba, Raghba Wood Intense, Pure Oudi, Kalemat Black, and Woody Intense (by Arabian Oud). I've only received a few at this point, Pure Oudi being one of them. My biggest fear in ordering all these was the possibility that they might end up smelling too similar, due to the many shared ingredients. I've been delightfully surprised at how much variation there is between all these Oud-infused juices. So far, I've loved everything I've tried, including the sensual Kalemat Black, the floral and piercing Woody Intense, and now the balmy Pure Oudi. I would absolutely describe this as a amber-centric fragrance, perfectly sweetened, but still rich in exotic woods and spices. The Oud is very tempered and masterfully woven between the vanilla, sandalwood, and amber notes. I would actually describe this as a spring/summer Oud, which is very distinct from all the spicy Oud fragrances better suited for winter and autumn. However, being that it's very balanced, I could see this working in just about any season. The longevity will probably depend on the weather and skin, but this juice definitely lingers upwards of 6-8 hours on my skin. The projection/sillage is a little closer to the skin than most other Oud fragrances, but being that it's so sensual a fragrance that may be for the best as it's a great lover scent. All in all, I'd give this fragrance a well-deserved 8/10. It's not going to be my go-to Oud fragrance, but it's adaptable and dependable for many situations and works well as a casual fragrance. For $40, it's hard to go wrong. Hope you enjoy!

لطالما كنت من محبي كل ما يتعلق بالعود ، ولكن من المسلم به أنني بدأت للتو في استكشاف عالم العطور العربية ، لا سيما تلك الخاصة ببيت اللطافة والعربية للعود. أشكر ليالي أرابيان الجميلة والمكونة ببراعة من قبل جيسوس ديل بوزو لإدراكي في هذه العطور الجميلة. في الأسابيع القليلة الماضية ، بدأت في تناول العطور ، حيث قمت بشراء رغبة ، رغبة وود إنتنس ، بيور عود ، كلمات بلاك ، وودي إنتنس (من العربية للعود). لقد تلقيت القليل فقط في هذه المرحلة ، من بينها Pure Oudi. كان خوفي الأكبر في طلب كل هذه الأشياء هو احتمال أن ينتهي بهم الأمر برائحة متشابهة للغاية ، بسبب العديد من المكونات المشتركة. لقد فوجئت بسرور بمدى الاختلاف بين كل هذه العصائر التي تحتوي على العود. حتى الآن ، أحببت كل ما جربته ، بما في ذلك Kalemat Black الحسي ، و Woody Intense الثاقب والزهور ، والآن Pure Oudi. أود أن أصف هذا تمامًا بأنه عطر يركز على العنبر ، محلى تمامًا ، لكنه لا يزال غنيًا بالأخشاب والتوابل الغريبة. العود مقوى للغاية ومنسوج ببراعة بين الفانيليا وخشب الصندل والعنبر. أود أن أصف هذا في الواقع بأنه عود لربيع وصيف ، وهو مختلف تمامًا عن جميع عطور العود الحارة الأكثر ملاءمة لفصل الشتاء والخريف. ومع ذلك ، نظرًا لكونها متوازنة للغاية ، فقد استطعت أن أرى هذا يعمل في أي موسم تقريبًا. من المحتمل أن يعتمد طول العمر على الطقس والجلد ، لكن هذا العصير يبقى بالتأكيد لمدة تزيد عن 6-8 ساعات على بشرتي. إن النتوء / النتوء هو أقرب إلى الجلد من معظم عطور العود الأخرى ، ولكنه عطر مثير للغاية قد يكون للأفضل لأنه عطر رائع للحبيب. الكل في الكل ، سأمنح هذا العطر بجدارة 8/10. لن يكون عطري المفضل في العود ، لكنه قابل للتكيف ويمكن الاعتماد عليه في العديد من المواقف ويعمل بشكل جيد كعطر غير رسمي. مقابل 40 دولارًا ، من الصعب أن تخطئ. آمل أن تستمتع

This fragrance is quite the enigma. It has a strange but familiar blend of characteristics one being a creamy sandalwood, guaic and oud splendor, a sweet vanilla and cinnamon, which becomes more evident as it dries down and similar to 24 Gold or Raghba, and a soapy floral element too. The powdered woods in the opening to me point towards a hint of rose but apparently it's not listed in the notes here? Something is giving quite a strong floral effect and I accept it could be jasmine, whatever it is it's very nice. This fragrance grabbed me as utilizing lots of middle eastern techniques and just had an overriding opulence which I love and would attribute to many more elusive and expensive fragrances. This fragrance is so far up my street it's ridiculous! I was so impressed in fact that I bought Khalis Oudi on the spot. Great performance a wonderful enveloping smell but without cloying or being too strong, I give this fragrance top marks and a welcome addition to the collection. Oh and on a side note, a really well package fragrance I throw nearly all my boxes away unless they are niche and very special, I still wouldn't keep this one but its nicely decorated. The bottle has actual cinnamon inside which I think is a nice touch and although I detect it in the scent it's not that prominent. This is the Lataffa for you if you like what Raghba has to offer without being too sweet, just get Khalis Oudi it's magnificent.

I am so glad i found this. Its a hidden gem most people have never heard of. Its an instant love. Straight out the box its ready to go and i found no need to wait to wear it. A gorgeous buffet feast of apple brandy butter crackling woodfire cinnamon spice richness that lasts and projects well and punches way above its weight for the budget price. This is a true bargain. So rare. Its blended subtly, its strong but not overpowering, it doesn't reek of synthetics and its a captivating addictive caress that would work well on either man or woman. Its sweet but has good depth too, and its not another cliche of vanilla and amber. Its got its own style. Its winter here now and its cold yet i can get an impressive 5 hours use, can't wait until summer when it should shine more. If you covered a woman in this i would lick and relish her body from the soles of her feet to the top of her head over a timespan of several hours. But it surely works masculine too. Super versatile. The box and presentation is nothing special and that usually means the juice is the selling point and it's good perfume. For once, believe the reviews and the hype, this is GORGEOUS stuff and so affordable. its amazing for the current price of 15 bucks. Ridiculous. For this?!! wow. What a beauty for the price of 2 cups of Starbucks coffee. I'm hard to please but for me this was an instant love and a top 3 blind buy find of the year so far!
