LattafaBade'e Al Oud Honor & Glory - Fruity, Vanilla, Warm Spicy, Woody - Eau de Parfum Long-Lasting Fragrance for Unisex, 3.40 Ounce / 100 ml

I’ve recently been wearing Badee Al Oud, and it has quickly become one of my go-to fragrances. What I absolutely love about this perfume is that it’s incredibly gentle on my sinuses. Unlike many strong scents that can trigger irritation, this one offers a soft, smooth aroma that doesn’t overwhelm, making it perfect for all-day wear. It’s a sweet, comforting fragrance that feels almost romantic—perfect for a night out or a special occasion.One of the things that stands out is its longevity. The scent lingers just enough without being overpowering. I also appreciate how it doesn’t irritate my skin, which can be a concern with some perfumes, but this one is kind to my skin while providing a consistent, soothing fragrance throughout the day.The packaging is another highlight. The white and gold design is elegant and luxurious, giving the perfume an air of sophistication before you even experience the fragrance itself. It feels like a real treat every time I open it.Overall, I’d rate this fragrance a perfect 10. It’s gentle, lasting, and the kind of scent that makes you feel at ease yet elevated. If you’re someone who appreciates a sweet, non-intrusive fragrance that blends beautifully with your natural scent, this is definitely worth trying.

The media could not be loaded. I love perfumes, I have expensive and cheap ones, the price doesn't get to tell you if a fragrance is good or not. I am very impressed with Honor and Glory, I love the colors of the bottle, the design, the bottle itself feels like an expensive perfume and it has a decent spray. It is a bit heavy tho. It last pretty long on your skin since its EP. You can definitely smell the pineapple, vanilla and some cinnamon on the background. It is sweet, it is tropical, perfect for a summer night. I took the risk by buying it and I have no regrets.

I'm not a fan of fruity fragrances but love a good gourmand. The initial opening is quite pungent but it dries down quickly. The pineapple is subtle, yet noticeable. The creme brulee mixed with the spices is warm and delightful, that's the magic for me. After a few hours, the dry down becomes a warm and woody skin scent. I like to pair this with Scent Theory Velvet Vanilla body cream to intensify the creme brulee notes. I get a solid 4hrs which gently fades around the six hour mark. This is a true unisex fragrance, leaning slightly more masculine but if you like a spicy gourmand, you can't go wrong with this complex gem.

Hard fragrance to rate. The projection and longevity is impressive for this price point. I sprayed this on a shirt, wore it all day, and smelled it strongly on the same shirt four days later. It's a beast. However the smell is controversial, to say the least.At first spray out the box, completely jarring and shocking. Way off balance. Mental image colors: Orange, black and purple. A true assault on my nose. The pineapple is so extreme. After ageing a couple weeks with about 10 sprays it has mellowed, but the pineapple is still overbearing. You have to really love pineapple to dig this.There is a nice "creme brulee" or caramel thing underneath the citrus, but while most citrus notes disappear from fragrances within a few hours, the pineapple here is like the undead. It stays until everything else is gone, and you will have to wash it off. Overall, I'd say they should reformulate it to cut the pineapple by 50% and then they'll have a nice gourmand scent profile.As it is, I can see it being good for beach parties, warm weather casual events, drinking in Miami in a swimsuit, etc. It's unisex but a little odd for a man. One reviewer said it reminds him of a loose woman who cheated on her man. Now I can't unhear that and whenever I smell it I imagine her name would be Carmen.I don't love the smell because I've never dreamed of having a can of pineapple juice dumped in my lap, but I can't deny it's a powerful and well performing fragrance.

The media could not be loaded. So, this is my first bottle from Lattafa. For the reference, I own and owned lots of $150+ per bottle perfumes and will be mostly comparing it against that base.It comes in a decent soft touch box, nothing super luxurious but the value for the money is there. The bottle itself could be absolutely gorgeous if not for the massive plastic cap which I didn’t appreciate. Might look into replacing it just so it doesn’t take so much room on the shelf.Now to the perfume itself: I tested it on the blotter, on thick velvet fabric worn on skin, and on the skin directly.On the blotter, and basically on any kind of material that wouldn’t be in contact with some kind of heat source (e.g. skin) it is much more of a somewhat abstract flowery, soapy scent with a decent but light woody/ambery base that I can assume comes from some Iso E and the like materials. Very well balanced, “clean” and pretty sophisticated.On anything that touches the heat source and would bring out the base notes faster - a good amount of resinous and somewhat smoky facets come out, something that you would get from, let’s say, labdanum. The assumed Iso E base is still there, as well as some rosy and dried fruit notes, and limonene-related materials to balance out the smokiness. All that if you smell the fabric or skin directly. In the sillage, on the other hand, you get more of the rosy/soapy and powdery notes.Overall impression of the scent: well done for the money, nothing revolutionary but it’s well rounded and more on the grown-up side. Doesn’t smell like a $20 bottle at all, moderate sweetness, moderate floral facets, rich resinous and ambery base and “clean” soapy impression, which by itself is a pretty unique combination to achieve.As for the cons:Please note that I live in a dry high desert climate, and everything evaporates and underperforms here. Besides, it’s winter. So the perfume currently sits a bit too close to the skin than desired, and doesn’t have an impressive sillage. This kind of climate will also shorten the longevity by a few hours. But keep in mind that you live in wet climates and are wearing it in the summer that could be a very different impression.For the price, I couldn’t be more happy with the purchase, it’s a keeper. Will test it in different seasons and situations but it surely won’t be collecting dust on the shelf.Also, I appreciate the fast processing, shipping and Sunday delivery from the seller, great work.I recommend it as a pretty safe blind buy.
