Versatility: 7.0 (yes to enjoy it on your own, clubbing, socializing, events, restaurants, dates, romancing, intimacy, weaddings,... not good for the office, informal meetings, small spaces, work out, beach and places where you may sweat) 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 :)

Anyway, to my conclusion- ish: if you like a smoky wood type fragrance and have good experiences with Oudh I can definitely recommend Ameer Al Oudh Intense oud. I have yet to see another cheapie with such beastmode performance. I do think you will need to look for a decant or sample first because it isn't a safe blind buy. Because my bottle obviously hasn't macerated properly yet* - it is sadly missing all of the sweet notes I did get in the sample - I've only tried it twice: once on my hand, once on a sweater. Whenever you feel like wearing a powerfull Oud fragrance, but want it well behaved and not disturbing your fellow common wearer and lover of citrus scents, you may well elect Ameer Al Oudh as one of your favourites fragrances. Top notes are agarwood (oud), cinnamon and nutmeg; middle notes are jasmine and sandalwood; base notes are musk, vanilla, guaiac wood, amber, and cedar. Depicting the strength of this lingering scent, this fragrance main oud note is Oudh from Cambodia which yields earthy and woody smoky notes.In the opening you get the cambodian oud with full strenght, blended with cinnamon and nutmeg. This notes will stay active for the entire longevity of the fragrance. The heart notes serve mainly the purpose of building a bridge for the base notes blending, and the scent become sweeter and smoother then. The drydown is very pleasant with the strong different woods softened by the sweetness of cinnamon and vanilla, and the smoothed by a confortable amber.

That said, BTF is one of the highest quality designers I've smelled out there, and while AAO can't meet that bar, it does smell verry verry pleasant. Good quality too, it certainly smells upper tier designer in smell. I was really pleasantly surprised by this. Also projects and performs pretty good too. Now, 24 hours after a single spray application, it still lingers as a skin scent. The performance is quite high and you are bound to have a 10~12 hours longevity and a sillage of more than six feet at its peak. Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud is highlighted with a rich creamy sugar and vanilla blend, while well supported by a lightly-roasted chestnut-iness and a noticeably exceptional use of smoky wood(s)*, perfectly complimented by sweet clean oud, herbal spirits and hints of dark cacao within the composition, tying it all together for a VERY captivating experience! *Incredibly, there are actually (3) different woods "working" here separately, and at the same time---dry smoky woods, smooth soft-sweet smoky sandalwood, and sweet agarwood (oud); with the smokiness ideally and pleasantly balanced. Full disclosure: Some here are quite opposed to the fairly pronounced herbal/medicinal essence overlaying the 15-minute open, or even its subsequently more reserved presence within the fragrance--while most will appreciate what it brings to the composition in creativity, aura and dimension. This ambery-colored fragrance is dusty and warm, cozy-sweet, enjoyably calming, enrapturing, and inviting. A predominantly unisex fragrance, though leaning masculine for some women (primarily due to the smoky woods). And a solid entry-level consideration if you'd like to take a real first step into "oud". (ie. having more than just a hint or touch of it). The clean sweet oud here is noticeably present but not overwhelmingly so, being superbly executed, much a result of the composition's truly exceptional blending. .....The late stages of this fragrance transition into a smooth, soft sweet, very slightly smoky, nutty-woody experience, keeping your attention to the very end as a skin scent. Also, this juice STAYS. I sprayed my arm yesterday morning, and I found it to be a bit suffocating through the night! So if you end up loving this juice, you may find this bottle will last you a while, as a little goes a long way. this gets a 4 and not a 0 because the ingredients are quality and the longevity and sillage are way above average. But that smell is a must avoid imo.LATTAFA defines lifestyle and offer unforgettable creations through elegant Arabian Oud perfumes for all… Made in U.A.E. Ive often seen many women mention this. I cant imagine a woman wanting to wear this scent. And if she did id think she smelled really bad that day. With all of the beautiful scents to choose from why would a woman want to smell like this? This scent may turn some people on though. There are some who find certain foul scents very seductive and enjoyable. If you are one of those people you must have this. But this is to date my worst blind buy ever. I truly tried to like it but all I get is Granny's Bandaids. 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 My first thoughts were that it smells like church incense with a sweet sugar and a general "orientallness". A very very sweet and incense-y, maybe a little medicinal opening. Dries down to some sort of general woodiness and the titular oud, which is obviously synthetic and does give that rubber tires smell a little bit. I get some sort of synthetic smell in the frag which I hate. Some sort of chemical woodiness I guess. Just messes up the whole fragrance for me.
