Once, the scent of the mighty East came to life, as if it were a memory of past epochs of greatness. In the perfumed water Oudain by Lattafa Perfumes, elegance, strength, and sophistication are intertwined, captured within a bottle.
At the very beginning of the composition, the light of spicy cardamom ignites. Mint and bergamot blend fire and freshness, filling the air with a majestic aura. Then the middle notes bloom, like a forest under the full moon: woody chords transform into a weave of spices, cinnamon, and cumin, intertwining with lavender and the delicate flower of an orange. They dance around your figure, like the soul of an Eastern dawn. And finally, the base notes unfold, like sunset over the horizon: vanilla and tonka beans create a sweet magical shade, sandalwood and cedar wrap you in warmth, and gray amber - the final touch, adding depth to this scent. Oudain is a story of courage and nobility that captivates with its mysterious complexity.
After reading the previous review about the similarity of this perfume to Alexandria II, I was excited as I really like Alexandria. However, I was very disappointed when I purchased this similar perfume. It is nowhere near Alexandria. From the beginning and throughout, the scent of the perfume is very unpleasant. I wouldn't describe it as leather or suede at all. In one word, it has a very unpleasant smell. Therefore, it is necessary to test it before purchasing.
It was interesting to try this fragrance, especially since it is compared to my favorite perfume Xerjoff Alexandria II.
Yes, it is not a clone of Alexandria, but it is in the same direction.
The opening is leather (suede) and vanilla, sweet and slightly smoky.
Oud is not explicitly mentioned, but it is present, even on the bottle it is written that it is a blend of two ouds.
The wood is noticeable, high quality, and natural.
Cardamom and spices make a nice impression.
Over time, the wood becomes more prominent, with hints of tonka beans and spices, and the suede scent becomes quieter. At this stage, it is closer to Alexandria, but with more spices and less oud.
The profile is oriental, but not overpowering; it is beautiful and you constantly want to inhale it!
Important! There are absolutely no chemical notes! The fragrance truly smells natural! Having tried many niche fragrances, I was surprised that such an affordable scent can impress so much!
I won't talk about longevity just yet, as I have only had it for a couple of days, but when applied in the evening, it was still softly playing in the morning.
The fragrance is dense and well-blended, reminding me of how it smelled in shopping centers in the UAE.
In hot weather, it might be a bit heavy, but up to +25 degrees Celsius, it is perfect for me.
If you are looking for something clean, transparent, and light, this is not for you.
I really like it and will be able to alternate between this and Alexandria. The price particularly impressed me; it is an affordable perfume with excellent characteristics!
I will try a few more fragrances from this brand, and if their quality is just as good, I will be greatly impressed.
I bought it a month ago. It was the second Lattafa fragrance that I chose. There aren't many reviews online. However, since the release year of the scent is not modern, I assumed it was an Arabic classic. And yes! I was not mistaken. Smoky, sweet, and very long-lasting. This sweetness with a smoky touch is somewhat intoxicating, if you will. It evokes tranquility, coziness, and serenity. The bottle is heavy and beautiful. The packaging is ordinary, without any frills. But the scent, quality, and longevity are far superior to its price. Thanks to the store for providing the opportunity to buy at such reasonable prices. And I can recommend it to women who love woody, sweet fragrances. Men will also like it, tested on my husband)).
