LattafaBade'e Al Oud Amethyst - Floral, Fruity, Amber, Oud - Eau de Parfum Long-Lasting Fragrance for Unisex, 3.40 Ounce / 100 ml

I recently purchased this fragrance, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. As someone who has been a longtime fan of Paco Rabanne's 1 Million Lucky, I was skeptical about trying a clone of a PR cologne that I have never really liked overall. However, this scent has proven to be an outstanding alternative and the scent is absolutely worth it’s weight in gold.Scent Profile:The fragrance opens with a delightful sweetness that's immediately reminiscent of 1 Million Lucky. It's sweet but not cloying, balanced with a clean and slightly powdery undertone that adds sophistication. The blend is pleasant and playful but also slightly mature (just not for a board meeting – think jeans and a Polo RL oxford in pink), capturing the essence of the original without being overpowering.Performance:Longevity is impressive. On my skin, it lasts a solid 8 hours, with the first 2+ hours offering strong projection. After that, it settles into a more intimate scent that's still noticeable without being intrusive. This makes it versatile for both daytime and evening wear.Application Tip:I recommend applying 2-4 sprays max and if you need more go for it but it can easily blast out a room with more. Initially, the scent is already pleasant, but giving it a bit of time allows it to mature and develop its full character. This patience pays off with a more nuanced and enjoyable experience.Value:Considering the quality and performance, this clone offers exceptional value. It's a cost-effective alternative that doesn't compromise on the essence of the original fragrance.In conclusion, if you're looking for a high-quality, long-lasting, and faithful clone of 1 Million Lucky, this fragrance is an excellent choice. It delivers on all fronts and has become a staple in my collection.

So I was shopping over the weekend and stumbled on to initio oud for greatness, LOVED the fragrance but could not justify spending $300-400 on a bottle of fragrance. I read some reviews online and saw great reviews for this product. When I initially sprayed this it was VERY strong, I was a little nervous that this was going to be way too over the top. BUT, writing this review about 15-20 min later and the scent has become a bit more subtle and very closely matches the original. Kudos to the mad scientist who came up with this formula 👌🏼👌🏼

It's like jammy roses on fire! So, I've never smelled the original $400 fragrance. I would imagine it's very good because this is really cool. There's a level of quality here that's kind of shocking. As a man, I really enjoy some rose fragrances. My favorite is Zaharoff signature Rose and halfeti signature black Rose is in my weekly rotation. This is neither of those. I would describe this scent best as a bowl of dried roses being lit on fire. I could go on about oud notes and what not but that's the best description I can give you. It's very lively and warm although I think you could get away with it on a hot day if you kept it to about 4 or less sprays. Performance is solid and you'll definitely leave a good impression. I'm only giving it a 4 because again, I have really good rose scents already. Still, I don't buy dupes often but this is probably the best one I've ever received not even mentioning price.

Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst is a beautiful blend of spicy, floral, and sweet woody notes. It opens with a burst of pink pepper and bergamot, then melts into rich rose and jasmine. The dry-down is warm and luxurious with oud, amber, and vanilla. Long-lasting, elegant, and great value perfect for evenings or special occasions.
