Lattafa Badee Al Oud Sublime Eau de Parfum Spray for Unisex, 3.4 Ounce

BETTER THAN KAYALI EDEN JUICY APPLE!!
UPDATE:**summary of this very long review – both perfumes smell the same to my NOSE, but the experience they evoke is DIFFERENT somehow. Different vibes, Sublime being more rich, decadent and cozy, and Eden Apple being more straightforward and playful**Update to my previous review (see below) – in my HUMBLE opinion, this Badee Al Oud Sublime is BETTER than Eden Juicy Apple (Kayali). As you can see from my photo, I could not help myself… I ordered the Kayali Juicy Apple as well! I actually am fairly certain I ordered it first… Bath and Body Works Winter Candy Apple is one of my favorite fragrances of all time, so I was pretty confident I would like both (despite some reviews that ended up not resonating with me from youtube, you can see my original review).. and I do like both, I love both. Very very similar to winter candy apple, and both excellent… but will not be KEEPING both as I initially intended… anywho, here are my UPDATED notes on the comparison:SCENT:They are not identical, but they are very very close. Someone with a trained nose may notice more difference than myself, I am not an expert and I am not someone who can pick up notes too well. They both smell like apple, haha. Anywho, the Lattafa just smells more… RICH… to me? Rich, like thick, juicy, and a bit more complex. Don’t get me wrong, they both smell like apple. Both smell like apple shampoo to me… I’d almost say the Lattafa is a bit MORE shampoo vibes but… I’m not sure, please take everything I’m saying as very novice opinions. After drying down I would almost say the opposite. What I can say, besides them being probably 90% similar to one another… something about the Badee Al Oud Sublime is just BETTER to me.. slightly better, they’re very similar, but better. It just reminds me of like, a dark red juicy apple versus the Kayali reminds me of like a baby apple. That’s really the best way I can describe it. I would also say that the Lattafa reminds me more of Winter Candy Apple by BBW than the Kayali does. They both smell wonderful, truly. And if you like one you would like the other. My preference is just the Badee Al Oud Sublime, personally.LONGEVITY:The Lattafa Badee Al Oud Sublime has much better longevity on my skin. The Kayla Eden Juicy Apple unfortunately disappears almost immediately. Of course, I’ve seen others mention this in reviews of that perfume, but for some reason I thought they were exaggerating. They are not exaggerating. Eden Apple becomes nonexistent on my skin after ~30 minutes… which is really disappointing… but not that disappointing in the sense that the Lattafa version exists, and I prefer it anyways. Though in my initial review I mentioned that I felt it was on the weaker side of a Lattafa fragrance, which I do maintain, it is MUCH, MUCH better than Kayali in that department. It’s only been maybe 1.5 hrs at the time I am writing this? I can BARELY, just BARELY smell the Juicy Apple on my right arm… like it is there, a little tiny bit, if my nose is literally touching my skin. I imagine in another hour it will not be detectable at all. Whereas Sublime on the other hand (other arm, haha)… I can still smell it PRETTY well, it’s as strong as it was after it dried to my skin. Which again, it’s not blasting like some other Lattafa fragrances I own, but it is certainly satisfactory. I will still be doing a heavy spray with this/that would still be my recommendation. Please note my skin is not moisturized, I am sure the longevity of both can be improved with vaseline and such. Anywho, my point simply being, the longevity of Badee Al Oud Sublime is much better than Kayali Eden Juicy Apple on MY skin.PROJECTION:Can’t speak too much on projection, I can just say that I imagine both of these are more of skin fragrances versus scent bubble perfumes. I could be wrong though, I’ve not worn them out in public. That is just my impression given that I can’t smell the perfume SUPER intensely on myself, though I can smell it. Please note I’ve gone one perfume on each arm, so I can’t say specifically which it is I am smelling, but I can make an educated guess that it is the Lattafa seeing as that perfume is just much stronger.All and all, if you are considering which to buy, I totally recommend Badee Al Oud Sublime by Lattafa!! They are both wonderful, and very very similar, but I think the Lattafa is just slightly more complex, and certainly more powerful overall. Let me put it this way, I am a designer girlie. If I liked both equitably well, I would probably stick with the Kayali Juicy Apple just because it makes me feel “cool” (haha)/I just would like having the bottle in my collection. However, that isn’t the case. I do enjoy the Eden Juicy Apple but unfortunately, I will be returning it. I hate to do that, but the total lack of projection/absolutely zero longevity leaves me unable to justify even owning it. If the Kayali lasted on my skin at all, I would simply keep both. Juicy Apple just really, truly does not stay on my skin. Honestly, I would almost say that the BBW Winter Candy Apple BODY SPRAY has better staying power than Eden Juicy Apple by Kayali… which is pretty wild!Personally, I will continue to buy the Lattafa version along with the BBW Winter Candy Apple spray! As odd as this sounds, for me this is a winter scent… BBW Winter Candy Apple was my favorite as a child, so I have heavy associations with this scent during the holidays! I know others prefer to wear it for summer, I am trying to picture it as a summer scent (it’s difficult for me because of the existing association)… I’m not sure how this would come off on a hot day, I really would say it’s more fall or winter, but that is only my personal opinion. Probably even more fall than winter, but I’ll be wearing for both!I am truly so stunned by how excellent the Lattafa version is! I was very skeptical especially after hearing some youtubers describe the scent… Like I said in my previous review, I definitely do not get anything “spicy” at all. It’s just… more rich, more decadent. More complex. Yet almost identical. I swear, I am getting getting the same smell, but I am just getting different VIBES if that makes sense. That is genuinely the most accurate comment in my review – they smell the same to my nose, but the experience of smelling them is different! Anywho, I’d never be able to notice the difference if I didn’t have one on each arm, but MAN… Badee Al Oud Sublime just GETS me in a different way than Eden Juicy Apple.As a final note – I do not forsee this fragrance on a man, but that is just my opinion. What I mean is I don’t see it as unisex or masculine in any way, to me it is very feminine. However, if I smelled a gentleman wearing this, I would also be so thrilled… so there’s that! I support the use of this fragrance on the opposite gender for sure!ORIGINAL REVIEW:This perfume smells absolutely amazing! Reminds me of winter candy apple by bath and body works. If you like that, or Kayali juicy apple, this is an extremely safe blind buy!! I have not smelled this vs Kayali’s apple side by side, but based off of smelling Kayali’s in the store and this on my skin, I would say there is not a noticeable difference. Whether the difference would be noticeable side by side I don’t know, but in my opinion they’re close enough that it really would not be relevant.I was a little hesitant to order this just because I’d see perfume YouTubers saying that the Lattafa version is slightly less sweet and a little spicier (which I love the sweetness of Kayali’s and the BBW winter candy apple, and do NOT like spice) so I wasn’t sure if it would be a deal breaker. Well, if you are NOT a trained perfumer, you’ve got nothing to worry about. As someone who evaluates perfumes as do I like it/vs do I not like it, this smells great. I cannot notice any difference and I don’t smell whatever spiciness they’re talking about. It also doesn’t strike me as less sweet – if Kayali’s apple is too sweet for you, I’d say this one probably is too.I gave 5 stars because I adore the fragrance. To me it smells like an apple orchard full of big juicy apples… or like a glass of martinelli’s ! I was tempted to reduce a star due to the fragrance not having the best potency. I imagine the projection and sillage on this are relatively low – definitely a perfume to be over sprayed. I’ll probably decant some into a travel bottle for my purse as well. Definitely not a deal breaker, I just wish it were a bit stronger. I sprayed like 6 sprays (3 on each arm) and did NOT rub (rubbing disrupts the molecules) and I can smell it, but very faintly. I can smell it a lot less than you’d expect with 6 sprays of perfume. Anywho, for the price point it’s superb. Just be aware you may want to go a bit heavy on the sprays/reapply. To be clear, it isn’t the WORST projection or strength ever, there are plenty of luxury and niche perfumes that are far worse. It’s just less than I’d typically expect from a Lattafa perfume!I have a bottle of Kayali’s juicy apple on the way – I’d initially decided just to buy the original because of the “experts” (not sure what to call them) claims that this was less sweet and more spicy. Which, as I said, I don’t get that at all. Anywho, my point simply being that when the Kayali fragrance arrives, I will do a side by side comparison and update the review!

Exotic Elegance
it’s bold and commands attention, making it perfect for evening wear or special occasions. The sillage is impressive, leaving a memorable impression as you move through a space. The longevity is just as notable, with the scent staying on the skin for hours without fading.In terms of presentation, the bottle is as elegant as the fragrance itself, with a design that speaks to the luxury within. It makes a beautiful addition to any perfume collection or a thoughtful gift for someone special.If you’re a fan of oud fragrances and looking for something that stands out from the usual offerings, Lattafa Badee Al Oud Sublime is definitely worth trying. It offers a sophisticated experience that bridges the gap between traditional Middle Eastern perfumery and modern preferences.

Long-Lasting and Elegant
I absolutely love this perfume! The scent is elegant, long-lasting, and perfect for any occasion. It has a balanced mix of freshness and warmth, making it both sophisticated and inviting. Every time I wear it, I receive compliments. The bottle design is also beautiful, adding a luxurious touch to my collection. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-quality fragrance!

Can’t even describe how much I love this fragrance! Is something you can use to go to work, to go in a date, dinner, club is a perfection for everything if you wonder if you should get it, go and get it !!!

The perfume and the box it came in are such a high quality that I was shocked by the low price. Will be buying again when I run out!And i also like sweet fragrances and its pleasant
