Eternal Oud

Before I tried grand soir I was actually repulsed by the opening of this. Went and tried grand soir and the opening for that was even worse surprisingly. But the dry down is where this fragrance really pops off, its a very strong amber and slight vanilla. It reminds me of an old person wearing brown a cardigan.

Differences with OG on strip More -bright fruity -bubblegummy -sparkling spicy -(new) sweet green basil note Less -smooth spicy -dark woody -creamy

I saw so many people mentioning it- mfk grand soir. Absolutely nothing alike with the best masterpiece of a fragrance to ever exsist. However - A decent scent I'd say, absolutely not bad at all- overall a good floral oudy middle eastern fragrance. oud is just ok not choking you as a lot of oud fragrance tend to do, doesn't have that punch. somewhat of a synthetic leather note which I usually find with some grapefruit listed notes in other scents in the first few minutes but goes away quite quickly. Some sniff of smokiness as well ( tobacco like in the opening. plum is definitely there especially in the opening, and when it settles on your skin the whole scent becomes really balsamic and floral a lot of florals but doesn't lean on the feminine side it's definitely a unisex fragrance nice amber and tonka working together to make it nicely gently warm and wrap the whole package up. Nice warm floral oudy scent. It's not just making me too excited as other lattafa frags.

I love amber fragrances, and I do own Grand Soir. This smells like a cheaper version of GS (obvious I know) - it's very clear from the onset that the materials used to produce this fragrance are of much less quality than the original. Upon opening there is a chemical smell that surrounds the amber/vanilla note - eventually it settles to something resembling GS and would be close enough for some. What's missing during this settled phase is the ability of the original to leave a scent trail far behind you - again that's why GS is more expensive... Overall for the price it's good, so if you want to know what GS smells like, imagine a much better quality version of this. If you don't have the budget then this is perfectly fine, in fact some might say that the similarities are far more than differences and this alone might make the higher price of the original less appealing. Alexandria fragrances do a better job as far as dupes are concerned, that version has better projection but still not quite as rich/luxurious as GS. Bottom line - materials do matter and while you can get close it will never be the same as original.

Lovely fragrance. Very rich Amber oriented scent. I'm a big fan of Amber note, I think it makes a perfume more elegant, classy and the richest scent in the world. My favourite frag in the Amber genre is MFK Grand Soir, because of its high quality blend of pure Amber and Vanilla. Surely it is a linear scent with no development, but it's still a work of art. I didn't compare it side to side, but Eternal Oud without any doubt reminds me of MFK GS and they are quite similar. It is not as strong and sharp as MFK GS, but it still has got a solid performance and considering its low price, it won't be a problem for anyone to overspray it. To sum up, for me it's one of the greatest dupe fragrances of all time, not because of the similarity with the original, but because of the perfume itself. P.S EU Regulations will likely push amber fragrances out of the European market. Hopefully, the Middle East will continue releasing this kind of masterpieces.

Solid fragrance. 8/10. My first oud fragrance, I bought more because I liked this. Solid winter/fall fragrance, very oud and amber faced.

This fragrance is interesting. I'm not sure how MFK's Grand Soir smells, but this is a warm, vanilla, amber, slightly oudy, and funky scent. I don't get the medicine or burnt rubber that some get, but occasionally my lady and I have gotten a whiff of feet (VERY occasionally, appearing with the slightest bit of sweat). Overall, I think it performs great, having good projection and amazing longevity. Due to the foot smell, I find it very hard to wear it for many occasions. I almost fear wearing it during the fall and during the daytime of any season. I thoroughly enjoy layering this, and even by itself, during cold winter nights, I love it.

Holy amber! I have other amber forward perfumes and they smell almost identical. I really thought this would last but not at all. Very poor longevity although it smells great. The scent is very elegant slightly spicy and warm.

No!!! Not my favorite fragrance. This is a vanilla, "Coca-Cola" scent in the same vein as Xerjoff's Naxos or Maison Francis Kurkdjian's (or MFK) Grand Soir. It's a vanilla, ambery winter fragrance. I like vanilla, ambery fragrances, but this one ain't it. I find that many of Lattafa's fragrances are so volatile--they smell good at first, initial spray, but after a month or so, many of their scents change from the initial spray, and that's not a maceration issue. That's a quality issue.

This is one of the most beautiful scents i own, a beautiful warm, inviting, amber vanilla is the best way i can describe this, with my only complaints being the projection to me isn't insane, it is still good just not mind blowing, and with a scent like this i want everyone to smell me. And also the opening is slightly screechy and sharp which i think comes from the plum which gives it slightly a gasoline smell (not very prominent though and still smells good). Extremely slept on and close interpretation of grand soir in my opinion, 9/10

This is an absolutely beautiful fragrance. I immediately bought it after receiving a sample.. It is a sweet ambery warm vanialla. Definitely unisex- but I adore it on myself

Same like fragrance world Soir It's sweet oudy ambery nice fragrance

I received several free Lattafa samples with a recent Lattafa "Queen of Roses" box set. One sample was "Eternal Oud." I reviewed tons of social media hyping this fragrance, so I was excited to see the 20ml sample enclosed in my box set!! Out of the four samples and Queen of Roses, I must say Eternal Oud is the stand out! I really really like Eternal Oud a whole lot! And while EO might share a few distant similarities with MFK "Grand Soir," I would not consider Eternal Oud a dupe, or clone of Grand Soir. But Eternal Oud is nice! To my nose, Eternal Oud is a pleasant, powdery, gently floral, soft amber fragrance. I love amber fragrances. I own a few. For many women, amber can wear quite masculine. But the heliotrope in EO adds powderiness and the fantasy orchid note adds a floral-ness that makes this fragrance pleasant and feminine. And the customary base notes (benzoin, vanilla, labdanum, tonka) anchor the fragrance in a likable and predictable way. And FWIW, I detect zero oud in this perfume. If I didn't already own (and love) Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier "Ambre Precieux," and Profumum Roma "Ambra Aurea," I would consider a full bottle purchase of EO. Eternal Oud! I like it!

This is a very ambery powdery scent. I prefer sweeter ambery scents, but this one is not bad at all. It’s something different and unique, mostly suitable for nighttime wear. Do I like it? Yes Would I wear it? Not likely Does it last? 5-6 hour Did it blow me away? No Safe blind? Depends Worth the price? Yes Is it unique? Yes, different Overall rating: 6/10

I smell no oud - just a softer, less lavender Grand Soir. If you didn’t have them side by side you could easily mistake it for the real deal. The bottle is heavy and better looking in real life too. I’m usually anti dupes but MFK doesn’t need my money. This is MAGNIFICENT. Just get it.

I smell burnt rubber

This has been on my list for a very long time, and I'm finally getting around to trying it. If you're one of those people that enjoy Kayali - Sugared Patchouli, Kayali - Vanilla 28, Khadlaj - Secret musk, Montale Arabians tonka, Mercedes-Benz - club black, or Sol de Janerio - 40, then I think this fragrance will be right up your alley! They all share the same style of warm and cozy vanilla, with the added incense, etc. The way the plum is done in this reminds of the plum in SDJ 40. This is more sweet, warm and cozy over anything else. Its way more sweet than I expected, which I appreciate. It also helps to keep it from being completely masculine leaning. The oud is pretty tame in my opinion. The sweetness is just as prominent as that oud. This is a very cozy fragrance. If you like a sensual vanilla, a wispy incense, a natural style of oud, a ripe plum and beautifully sweet style of orchid, then this fragrance is for you. Its a very easy going middle eastern fragrance. I personally don't find it challenging in anyway. Its very tame in the general space of middle eastern fragrances. This fragrance doesn't really project but it lasts on skin very well. Nothing in this is loud or obnoxious in my opinion. This is sweet, woody, warm and so cozy without having any spices.

This is a luminous sparkler on my skin!! Bright and magical!! 10/10 for the price.

I think this fragrance is warm and cosy and I love wearing it on on cold winter days, it layers really well too with other boozy scents and a favourite pairing is with stronger with you original. On its own it’s beautiful and long lasting but it’s also very versatile

The opening is really bad, like cheap cognac and cough medicine. Luckily, in the dry down it becomes rich and cozy without that disgusting rotting fruit note that precedes it. Good alternative to GS if youre not willing to spend the buck and don't care for craft or construction of the final product and just want "the smell".

Blind bought this. Didn't like it lol. Smells like black licorice on my skin wich I definitely don't hate but isn't what expected from this. I don't know how's the performance because I go nose blind pretty quickly to it tbh. Definitely not blind buy safe but if you like gran soir then definitely get this one!

Lattafa's perfume, similar to Grand Soir. It doesn't really appeal to me; the opening is heavy, the continuation is heavy, I could barely detect plum and grapefruit, OD, amber, and a little vanilla from start to finish. Besides, I don't particularly like Grand Soir, which is a favorite among those who like this style; it's something like "Haji Misi" in our language, something of that weight.

Some friend gave it to me and said just use it first thing came into my mind is wtf is this old uncle smell but after it settle down oh my god its so good my first oud experience and i hope not last

This is nice scent but not long lasting. It is sweet, pleasant, vanilla scent. More sweet and amber than vanilla though. I can’t smell fruit, maybe if i try really hard. I like this. I like eternal vanille better, but that one is definitely not for everyone. I also think they should call this perfume Eternal Vanille and the other, black one Eternal Oud. Maybe someone mixed the names so now the damage is done, lol. Both perfumes are nice.

Outstanding alternative to Grand Soir. Can notice the plum note, which makes it a bit more of a twist that a 1:1, and makes slightly fresher for me. Ofc is not as good quality as the original, but its better than most designers (and its good quality in general). Has gotten me a bunch of compliments, even outside where projection becomes hard. Cozy, like a cafe date during autumn wearing wool sweaters with someone you love. Very ambery and resinous, with a delicious vanilla note. I love it. Makes me want to have a high end pastry with coffee while listening to lofi.

I blind bought this and was a little nervous because I had seen some people on TikTok say it was gross. I love it, to me it smells like an incense filled crystal shop with some vanilla and amber in the background. It smells way more expensive than it is.

El mejor perfume de oud que eh probado excelente estela , duración e eroma.

smells like a sunday service worshipping a god of amber. a deep, rich, and resinous amber and vanilla combo that leans into all of the classic amber accord facets heavily to give a radiance of warmth. in the same way i would show somebody Erba Pura to teach them what musk smells like in perfumery, or Le Male for lavender, or Eros for apple, or DHI for iris, I would show somebody this DNA or Blonde Amber's to demonstrate what amber really smells like, as this is the one of the most beautiful and complete takes on amber (which is an extremely common accord/note) i have had the grace to put my nose on. Blonde Amber/Amber Empire, the only other bottle I have that I would say smells somewhat similar to this is still quite different, as that amber is a bit more masculine, and the DNA lacks the light fruity and floral notes that give Eternal Oud a sort of unisex appeal and effervescence that stops it from ever feeling TOO warm. this is also supremely close to the actual MFK Grand Soir, despite what other reviewers may have you believe. i have been to Nordstrom to get my nose on most of MFK's most popular offerings many times and have sampled Grand Soir itself multiple times. while there is a bit of deviation from the OG DNA with the added fruit and floral notes, the overall scent and rich amber accord that dominates it is pretty indistinguishable to the untrained nose. the main difference i pick up on is the added notes giving a sparkly, almost powdery quality that fits the heavy amber DNA splendidly. naturally, the higher quality of MFK's blending and lack of other notes gives the OG a slightly higher quality, and more expensive smelling richness, however considering the difference in price, the slight subjective difference in quality is practically nonexistent in the bigger picture. some people may even find the added notes improve the overall DNA. performance wise, you can expect an easy 8-10 hours minimum of being detectable on skin, i would estimate about a 6 foot projection bubble for around 3.5-4 hours before projection begins to draw itself in. to compare to the OG, i would say its about a 15% decrease in overall longevity and projection, but once again, when considering the massive price difference, it might as well be the exact same, especially because the DNA is a very well performing one in the first place. if you enjoy Grand Soir, this is a pretty safe blind buy imo. i would not blind buy this in general, as this is a pretty mature and unique profile, not exactly a dumb reach. i can see this being a good reach for date night, would also fit formal occasions very well with its rich and mature character. i would not wear this in warmer weather whatsoever though. i enjoyed my bottle out of the box immediately, but i also must note that after a few months, be it from maturation or my sense of smell changing, the juice definitely seemed to have a more refined quality with smoother performance. all in all I would rate this an 8/10, no disappointment at all for 30 bucks from Burlington, another testament to why Lattafa has so much dominance in the dupe market. (the oud is also very smooth and nigh indetectable for those who are scared of it)

smells like if Raid tried remaking grand soir. not good literal oud vanilla bug spray

Copped a maturated bottle with 97% remaining for $30, it's still a lil cool here on the east coast. Should get a few wears out this beauty, before the sun strts baking us 😂😂😂 The drydown tho 🤌🏼😩😩
