Wore it for 2 days and I was angrily underwhelmed and I thought I had a copy , fake or just a bad bottle 6 sprays nothing just some mild woods This is thankfully in my opinion not potentially cloying like it, but I find it even sweeter than Joop Homme, so know that if you tend to get nauseous or dizzy by overly sweet fragrances. This smells like you could drink it. I've been wearing it every day for a week straight after I got it. And I know it's spring and I hoarded a buncha spring perfumes to specifically wear IN SPRING... but I'm too addicted to this one :')

Day 2- I have not smelled that cumin tinge I smelled at the initial spray. It seems a little less dusty/powdery and more sweet. Hoping it becomes even better after letting it sit a while. Growing on me :) Compliments: 8.0 (With an increasing number of people enjoying oriental woody sweet fragrances, I realy do think that this fragrance will please to a wide range of people of both genders; the number of compliments I received exceeded my expectations) Yes, when it arrived and I did my blind buy first spray - I was turned off and told my boyfriend I'm giving it to him.Just got it today. Smoky powdery. The campfire,smores type scent. Didn't like it at first blast..in fact, for a moment I thought I smelled a cumin type smell. Armpitty,lol..thank God it went away pretty fast..anyway, enjoying it now. Just had to get my nose adjusted. After it had dried down a while, and finished evolving, I was left with something.. Wasn't sure where I had smelled it before. But some note I get in my old Tresor Midnight Rose. Going to have a bath before bed and spray it all over myself and sleep in this smoky,campfire cloud. I'll update my review if anything changes or develops further. And oh boy does this develop! Like 15 minutes later I started getting the AMAZING woody sauna notes. It is such a gem! And it gets really close to By The Fireplace! I probably would not tell the difference with those two side by side! So if u can just ignore the opening of this fragrance (it's very ambery strong and something a little weird, reminded me of Bentley Intense lmao) then I 100% recommend atleast trying it. I had a 10ml decant of this for testing as for me MM fragrances are always hit or miss, I love some, I dislike others, none of them are in the middle. Opens with a huge blast of harsh alcohol, never a concern to me though as it dissipates soon enough. There is undoubtedly a strong chemical solvent smell that lingers after the opening, it’s something I enjoy to be fair but would easily be hated by some. Sits roughly in the territory of the plastic/vinyl note I get from Kenzo pour homme, where as the Kenzo is like a cheap pool inflatable, the Ameer almost reminds me of a softer whiff of diethyl ether perhaps. I was hoping for (chasing) an oud with strong medicinal (or band aid) qualities, after recently falling in love with Guilty Absolute Pour Homme. I get a hint of it but not nearly enough to meet my craving. There is a pretty mellow sour oud, with (slightly charred) sugary vanilla and little else to my nose. Now here comes the challenging part: trying to give you a short solid review of this AMAZING fragrance.

I debated buying this for months. MANY months. Why was I so hesitant? Because of the gender poll here saying its more masculine than feminine. Well, I don't agree. 100% unisex. Bought this on a whim after looking at the notes I was not sold however, my friend who also loves fragrances says it’s actually quite nice. So I did buy it on the basis of if I don’t like it, it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t cost a lot. Mind you that I am new to oud fragrances too. So, having sprayed it on my wrist and discarded the perfume, I went about my day. If I had to say which season this would be most compatible with / reminds me of then - autumn definitely, and winter. But truthfully, it would be nice no matter the season, the weather should just not be very warm. So, on a colder summer night - why not? :) Then the sandalwood comes through more. It does smell pretty cheap, a little reminiscent of an air freshener, but it's not gonna smell expensive for that price. The vanilla is pretty synthetic at start, smells like vanilin sugar, but it does get more creamy with time.Lattafa serves fragrances with an aspirational taste of international culture.

TOP NOTES

My only other oud perfumes are Gucci Intense Oud and Versace Oud Noir. I love them both with Gucci being my favourite. I would say both of them are several times better in every way, reflecting the several times higher price. Still though I enjoy the Ameer and shall definitely wear it. Seems reasonably strong but not crazily loud or in your face. The Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud perfume is popular among those who want to make a statement with their scent. It is designed to be long-lasting, so you can enjoy its captivating aroma all day. If you already own the Replica I'll carefully - cause not 100% - say that I think you could try out the Lattafa without having to fear for a clone in your collection. Whether they took BtF as inspiration or not, they both seem very much their own juice. They just happen to be both of the smoky-woody variety and mostly ideal in the cool & cold weather.

I love this fragrance so much that I often just sneak into my closet, open the cap to smell it right off the sprayer. And quite some times I just spray it in the house just to enjoy the smell of it. This is really addictive to me. Wearability: 7.0 (mainly cold weather and a night scent; you may use it either in outdoors or indoors) Bought this for it’s supposed By The Fireplace resemblance, but BTF is it not :( Maybe I need to let my bottle sit for a few weeks, but first impressions have left me disappointed yet again with this blind buy. Now you'll smell it when coming within close proximity, but it simply means that longevity is bizarre. It's actually something I'm used to from Oudh containing fragrances where the ingrediënt plays a main role. Woody fragrances usually last longer than any other type of perfume, but woody-oudy ones take the cake. Even when it was created by a chemist and not in nature. Absolute beast longevity wise too, good 8-10 hours out of this and the projection is perfect, not too loud, not a skin scent, just radiates around you in a little bubble.
