Bade'e Al Oud Oud for Glory

Fragrantica notes are wrong as fu**k...

Bought it thinking it’s a dupe of Initio. Don’t know why I thought that coz I’ve never tried initio. But this is not that bad. Starts sweet, settles down nicely. Oud is not that overpowering.

this fragrance by itself is just okay, it projects but the scent isnt that great. every time i wear it i think of myself as batman camping in the forest. but when i layer it, i use cremo black spice and vanailla or contra, for you, or choco musk ohhh my goodnes the scent is unique and heavenely.

This thing is a great surprise

A well balanced and quite wearable Oud perfume, its not from beast mode Oud fragrances category. Besides Oud it has a slight smoky touch to it. I wear to work with confidence without fear of being too loud, also I find its projection to be on lower side, someone can smell it on you within 2-3 feet circle. I have not used it in warmer weather but I think its wearable in slightly warmer weather. I doesn't smell sweet to me, more like Woody Oud, reminds me of tomford Oud Wood.

Lots of smoke, sulphur, a car on fire, some saffron. Drydown is mostly the same, less acrid, still sweetish, mildly interesting but totally addictive to the wearer. To others, it hints of a bathroom malfunction involving a strange diet. Astonishingly, this cheapy is simpler but as famous as BR540 and more so than Ganymede. A different experience, thou.

Slightly bitter, but fruity and enveloping scent.

For me the oud and lavender pairs greatly with eachother, its not too overpowering of either it js pairs beautifully

This is not necessarily an oud forward fragrance. I don't really know how I would describe it, it's not off putting but idk if i see myself wearing it going out. There is something reminiscent of the smell of Mac Sauce that you get on a Big Mac. Strange stuff...bada ba ba ba, im lovin' it.

Mass appealing middle eastern typa scent surprisingly not heavy on oud BTW you will get the saffron , nutmeg and some oud with a little bit of clean patchouli and turned down with the musk

sweet wood puke, this perfume made me avoid oud for years, until i got an decant of a real oud oil recently and it actually smell therapeutic and really nice

I was new to Oud fragrances, and when I first sprayed this in the air, I thought I'd been a victim of chemical warfare. The initial blast was incredibly strong, burnt rubber, plastic, smoke and a chemical tang. However after the initial shock, I found myself wanting to come back to it again and again. And so slowly I came to really appreciate the beauty of this fragrance. Seriously, get over your initial shock, put it away for a couple of months, and then wear 1-2 sprays. You'll be very surprised how your opinion of this changes, and you start to really enjoy the rich Oud, deep patchouli and smooth, satisfying saffron leathery tang.

Cheap and good...

I love a good Oud fragrance, but this I just can’t get behind it’s just to earthy and all I get is saffron. Wear at your own risk!

If you thought this was a good replacement for Oud for Greatness, check our French Avenue's Glorious Oud, that's like 1:1 from the get-go, much better quality.

Probably the King of "oud on a budget" fragrances out there... • For the price, it's very well-blended: saffron and nutmeg over a base of patchouli and relatively mild oud. • This juice gets you a very solid scent, for but a fraction of the cost of designer and niche oud scents. No joke. • Real agarwood oil costs an arm and a leg, but Lattafa managed to get it quite right with a synthetic concoction. • Just be aware that for the majority of Westerners, oud is an acquired taste. Just like beer, wine, or scotch. • If you're new to oud, you'll most likely dislike it, but if you keep wearing it, it'll grow on you. Ainsi va la vie! • Like every other Lattafa bottle I bought, the scent improved substantially over time. Performance also, but less so.

Interesting scent, but I'm new to oud and this one isn't winning me over yet. It's the slight sweetness mixed with the oud that I don't love... something about that combo just doesn't sit right with me. I know it's supposed to be a great dupe of Oud for Greatness and a lot of people are crazy about it, so I'll give it more wears before I really judge it. As of now, it's not something I reach for. Personal subjective score: 6/10

This fragrance reminds me of grabbing breakfast with my family at the local pancake house in the early October morning while catching a quick whiff of the freshly-printed newpaper pages my dad was reading. It starts out with a short-lived and faint metallic, inky, and earthy spicy smell before quickly settling into a cozy, sweet, leathery, honeyed oud. Sillage and projection are not too strong on 2-3 sprays, longevity is moderate. My favorite dumb reach when I need a quick spray for a cold rainy autumn day at home :) 9/10

complete blind buy but it reminds me of incense my mom would light around the house, it's woody dark and sweet and smells like Arabian lavender incense I think that's the best way to describe it. no maceration so might change as time goes on. 10/10

I love Oud and for this being a synthetic dupe of it it’s an amazing choice for the price and blind buy safe it you want a winter sent that’s not pure vanilla

Oud done right. Much softer, tamer, and less suffocatingly smokey compared to something like Ombre Nomade. Starts off with saffron, and smoothly transitions into a leathery oud that isn't extremely potent, but stays. If you're new to Oud, I'd start with this. 7.5/10

I really like the blend between saffron, lavender, and oud on this fragrance. However if you do not like oud, you will probably hate this. Also ME clone houses don't macerate their perfumes so if it smells like burnt tires, macerate it yourself and then see if you like it. This scent doesn't work well in the hot, but performs perfectly in cold. 7.8/10

Maturation really let this fragrance shine. The dry down is nice smooth inviting saffron and oud scent. when i first got this i did not like it but after a month its a very elegant unique scent perfect for a night out in fall or winter.

Last week I wore the original on my left arm and this one on my right. Honestly, apart from a slight difference in the opening, after 30–60 minutes they're incredibly close. The original has a slightly brighter, fresher, almost tangy edge, but after the dry down they're about 90% similar. I'm genuinely impressed with this dupe. Huge credit to Lattafa. also I get PDM Haltane vibes from it. That's why I'm obsessed with it. anyway, want the best hybrid combo with it? DM me

This scent literally makes me nauseous and so far no other perfume has been able to do that.

This one is not nearly as loud or projected as the original. All the hype around it said it was a "beast mode" fragrance but I get moderate longevity and sillage with it.

Opening is spicy and when I first sprayed quite offensive too. Drys down into a super nice blend of oud and saffron. Very similar to oud for greatness. Performance is pretty beast-mode, have got quite a few compliments wearing this even though it is definitely not mass appealing.

The first time I sprayed this, I nearly choked on the harsh, rubbery medicinal blast. However, I could not stop going back to it, and eventually sprayed a couple of sprays on my skin. After 15 minutes the harshness had significantly mellowed and gave way to a beautiful, serious, dry, leathery, smoky, masculine wood. This is very much a statement scent that does one thing very well - serious, dry, dark, smoky, leather wood. It has a mesmerising quality where you can't stop smelling yourself. Get over your initial impressions, give it 20 mins on the skin, and then judge it from there. It's potent and requires only a few sprays. Very much an evening or day cold weather fragrance. Great for the price, although don't blind buy this unless you fully understand what you're getting.

I just bought the initio OG and man, they’re so damn close. This is a little less sweet on the nose, and for me on skin has a little less longevity. But damn, I’d say save your money and by this. Side by side it’s hard to say

I love it, it's just sooo good, but not too strong, it's woody, it embraces you with its Aura, and it makes you feel like the coolest man when you walk into a room. I use it to dominate at events,3 puffs are enough to make you mysterious, sexy, and unforgettable. I layer it with his confessions, it's a brilliant combination.
