Why You Should Buy Lattafa’s Amethyst Bade’e Al Oud

My teenage son is building up quite an impressive fragrance collection. Body sprays, mists, eau de toilettes and eau de parfums. He seems to have more than me! Some I’ve purchased for him, but he’s at that age where he can and does buy fragrances himself. He has a pretty good idea on what types of scents he likes and knows how much he is willing to pay for them. One fragrance in his collection which I’ve used often is Lattafa’s Amethyst Bade’e Al Oud. And I’m going to explain why you should buy it.

Packaging

100ml of fragrance comes in a weighty, purple opaque bottle with gold detailing on front, sides and lid. Although I don’t think it was the intention, the gold pattern on this fragrance makes me think of art deco pieces, thanks to the lines and shapes its made up of. The bottle comes boxed, which is the same colour as the bottle, with a clear window on front. Presentation is excellent!

Fragrance

Lattafa’s Amethyst Bade’e Al Oud has a deep, rich, smell to it. Florals, mostly rose but definitely mixed with other florals too. Vanilla and amber is in the mix as well. What this fragrance is is a punchy, strong, warming and seductive scent. I can see why this would appeal to women, because I personally enjoy wearing this. But also for men too. Not too floral for men, in fact it has an almost fruitiness to it. And not to amber heavy or musk like for the ladies.

Strength & longevity

This is strong! One spritz gives an immediate hit of fragrance. It’s not a delicate scent. Longevity is just as great. I apply this in the morning and it’s still there hours later. It does fade slightly. I forget I’ve used this and think something smells nice…oh its me!

Price

When my son originally bought this, which was months and months ago, it was under the £30.00 mark. Thankfully, it still is and well under on Amazon currently £21.99 at time of writing this post. So very affordable considering the quality of this fragrance.

This has got to be one of my favourite fragrances I’ve tried over the last few years. And one my son loves too. It’s a gorgeous smelling fragrance, strong and long lasting which is just what I want. Is it truly unisex? As I’ve already mentioned I can smell why it will be liked by many people. But it all boils own to personal taste.
