Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Full Line Review - A Lesson in hype

This week I am reviewing the full line of Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud fragrances (thus far) and discussing hype in the fragrance community more broadly.
I am not an affiliate, but like that Jomashop sent the IDF watches after 10/7. They have fair prices and appear to stand on the right side of this, so encourage you to shop there. They appear to have 2/4 of this series if you're hunting, and at a good price at the time of recording: www.jomashop.c...

The most unprofessional and biased video ever analysed

[@joesmellsgood]

Extremely unprofessional! And you've discovered my secret, I ACTUALLY work for Initio and it's my life's mission to bring Lattafa down! You'll not stop me so easily!

[@TheEmanueleCastelli]

I’m OBSESSED with Honor & Glory! Never smelled anything like it in my life! On my skin it last all day, on clothes? Forever even if it isn’t macerated long enough… If I don’t wear it I have to smell it at least twice a day! Am I crazy? 🤔

[@joesmellsgood]

@@TheEmanueleCastelli not at all, im in the same camp with a few fragrances!

[@delchevosu626]

bro is reviewing from heaven

[@shrutiabhang6155]

I really loved Sublime! It is hands drop- really good perfume. It’s fruity and in a very smooth manner. It makes you wanna keep sniffing it all the time. I’m from a city that is very humid but it automatically stays on me for 5-6 hours . Stays on my clothes till next day. Projection is strong. Silage after 4-5 hours is not that strong but one can definitely smell it if someone stands next to me. I use a perspirant , a body shop body cream ,top it off with 10 sprays of Sublime and I’m good to go! Sublime is said to be a clone of Kayali Juicy Apple. It’s hard to say which is a clone of which. Some say Kayali is a clone of Sublime . Don’t know. That being said. I just love it. I have received many compliments upon wearing it. I would definitely advise women to give this one a try but please buy a decant first.

[@joesmellsgood]

I think it would be lovely on my wife! Glad you enjoy it!

[@david029014]

I agree with you some stuff is good and great but nothing spectacula, a lot is over hyped! one clone that deserves all its hype is Armaf club de nuit intense man, this one has so good, so many compliments, last all day, still so good all these years.

[@joesmellsgood]

literally wearing that one today and agree that it deserves all the hype

[@quaversal6997]

Sublime is honestly really good for the price and overall a decent pick. For the younger folks (like myself), I have found this being more versatile and worthy to wear during the summer. It’s a unique scent compared to all other summer scents I’ve smelled so far, performance is pretty good, blend quality exceeds the price point and the atomiser is near perfect 👌

[@ragejay]

oh so for teenagers i should pick sublime instead of the others? what about qaed al fursan?

[@quaversal6997]

@@ragejay yeah, this is definitely much more likeable. I have gotten plenty of compliments in the short time wearing it, def a good pickup for the price you’re paying here. Quality exceeds it

Thanks! I'm using my wife's Canon!

[@jasonmelo9379]

Honer and glory layered with a creed aventus clone. ❤️

[@ndhaon91]

Layer the Honor and Glory over the Oud for Glory and it gives you something much more interesting than either alone.

[@joesmellsgood]

That is a very interesting idea! I'll try it and report back!

[@jonasengelsen8311]

Uhh!! Just Got Honor & glory Home! So I’ll try to mix tomorrow🎉

[@GrimSingmuf]

Have you trued this layering? ​@joesmellsgood

[@joesmellsgood]

I tried it and they didn't blend well for me personally. Honor and Glory was overpowered by the original.

[@saulemilius579]

I haven't tried any of these fragrances yet but now I'd like to put my nose on this house. Thank you for your input and expertise as always.

[@joesmellsgood]

I'd say take a look at the Maison Alhambra line from Lattafa. I think it's a bit more reliable and interesting from the ones I've smelled so far. Lattafa is probably the most aggressively priced clone house for the quality, in general.

[@genoshajames]

Biggest compliments is with oud for glory lattaffa, also amethyst is fab, just got sublime from lataffa

[@theemclane4037]

Between Glory and Amethyst which one is louder ?

[@oX313Xo]

Okay, I've revisited honor and glory today, I awesome I have smelt this before. I just cant put my finger on the frag, but I swear it reminds me of something I have had before. Especially up close.

[@joesmellsgood]

@@oX313Xo I've heard lots of comparisons, but no concensus yet. Some sort of twist?

[@oX313Xo]

@joesmellsgood it's definitely not a 1:1 clone. But to me it's very similar to JPG lea beau le parfum not so much the in the opening and top notes but tovme the dry down is very similar. Love bith Le Beau Le Parfum and Honor and Glory. However these are more frags I wear for myself casually than if I was going to work or going out ect.

[@joesmellsgood]

@@oX313Xo interesting. I have Le Beau EDT. I can see what you mean, not a 1:1, but there is a vibe for sure. Coconut?

[@joesmellsgood]

@@oX313Xo I'm thinking for me it's something about the pineapple. I enjoy the actual fruit, but notice a similar sort of... Astringency. It's hard to describe. It's like I can smell the flesh dissolving enzymes that are in pineapple juice or something 😂

[@oX313Xo]

@joesmellsgood the opening of H&G and Le Beau Le Parfum I think is where they differ the most because of that coconut. But the pineapple I think brings them closer together. The dry down of both are amber woody with some creamy. In Le Beau it's the Tonka bean that gives it a creamy feel with some woods. H&G has the vanilla with woods so I think they give similar vibes in that aspect. I actually really enjoy both. I haven't tried Le Beau EDT but have the Le Parfum, their definitely casual scents to me.

[@user-xm1mz9yv5o]

They have great fragrances and the performance is good and there reasonable

[@joesmellsgood]

@@user-xm1mz9yv5o all true. These are all some of the strongest frags in my collection, and they were inexpensive. If you like em, these are a hard value to beat.

[@nuttylivett2713]

Honer and glory is amazing

[@joesmellsgood]

Thank you so much! That's very kind!

[@godface81]

I got the amethyst one on accident and whew its way too clawing gives me a headache. I suppose oud when too strong in general does. But I get the white bottle in a couple days sounds very yummie. Recently got the spectre ghost and this white bottle is similar if so ill wear it for sure.

[@joesmellsgood]

Let me know how it compares to Spectre! I've been curious and like the look of the bottle! 😂

[@ragejay]

what do you think? which is the best?

[@michaeldebree4870]

thank you for making this video, it made things clear to me. :) Just discovered your chanel, . greetings from Berlin Germany

[@joesmellsgood]

Greetings! Welcome! Are the Rammstein fragrances over there as awesome as they seem? I'm so jealous they aren't released over here!

[@michaeldebree4870]

@@joesmellsgood the Rammstein fragrances are really cheap here. They are sold in pharmacy/discount stores. Between euro 35,- to euro 50,- I think everyone wants the thing they can not have. I think I like Seeman intense the most out of all Rammstein fragrances. Anyway, nice to hear from you and all the best wishes to you . 👍

[@endor8witch]

sublime is a clone of eden's apple by kayali. that scent is meant to be layered with other scent, maybe that explains why it's so linear

[@joesmellsgood]

What do you think would be a good pairing?

[@teejay3082]

How about layer it with oud for glory? I have glory and its great but I have to layer it with something else to make me want to wear it. Ameer al oud was nice with it. Im thinking sublime might also go really well with it. Thoughts?

[@joesmellsgood]

@@teejay3082 worth trying!

[@willmarshall4685]

Ok…you’ve hit on something that has been bugging me for awhile now. “It smells good…but do I want to smell like that.” Every clone I’ve purchase smells pretty good…but do I really want to smell like a weird air freshener? I think a men’s fragrances should be anchored in some way to the classics. We’ve reached the territory where you just smell like pineapple, or vanilla, or rose, or whatever.

[@johnadair4693]

The only one I purchased was amethyst and found it one dimensional, smells like Fry's Turkish delight, give it to one of my sisters , and has put me of buying the others in the line . should I buy the honour and glory? I think the price for it is double what the others cost.and p s the three best clones I've bought recently are fragrance worlds apex alpha and spectre ghost,of the 3 apex is gorgeous.

[@joesmellsgood]

I wouldn't buy it unless you're REALLY dying to, or if the DNA sounds unbelievable. Like I said, I don't think it's bad...? It's... Fine? I say get it if it's ever $30 or less. For me, that would be a good value for Honor and Glory.

[@joesmellsgood]

Is spectre ghost the one with a bullet in the bottle? What's it cloning?

[@johnadair4693]

Oud for Glory is the only one I don't like. My daughter did tho surprisingly but she likes them all. Honor and Glory and Sublime are top tier for me.

[@joesmellsgood]

I like both those the best as well, just don't know when/where to wear Sublime... Spring?

[@andrebunting7603]

@joesmellsgood I haven't quite figured that out yet either. I wore it Friday and it does seem to do well in the 60s weather

[@joesmellsgood]

@@andrebunting7603 ill give it some cooler weather wear and report back!

[@johnadair4693]

Are you looking forward to encre indigo lalique Joe ?

[@joesmellsgood]

I very much am! Huge fan of the other Encre Noire line, big big fan of Vetiver from my decade as a lawnmower. I am debating waiting for it to hit discounters or buying it at full retail. I'm not CRAZY about blue frags, and this isn't the same perfumer as the other three but I'm still very interested to smell it

[@johnadair4693]

@@joesmellsgood yeah I'm going to wait for decent price it's £89 on there website, fingers crossed.

[@joesmellsgood]

@@johnadair4693 might just grab a 50ml so I can satisfy my curiosity

[@eciv2006]

How can you compare them to the original or say it doesn't smell like if you haven't smelled the originals? Lol smh.

[@joesmellsgood]

I think i said I was just judging them on their own merits. 🤷🏼

[@jove1155]

The white one is the crappiest of the 4. Pineapple brulee clashes with the turmeric and black pepper IMO.

[@joesmellsgood]

I go back and forth on it honestly. Probably the most weable for me, but funky for sure

[@yeetking824]

I just received it today, best one I have smelled 💯 I love it, it's like pineapple vanilla 🔥

[@joesmellsgood]

@@yeetking824 yeah, it's grown on me quite a bit. Looking forward to spring for it!

[@Djinsoul]

​​​@@joesmellsgoodI like honor and glory the best as well, more than sublime. Got both for 20 bucks each. You would imagine pineapple and turmeric being a weird combo but who knew it would smell so nice. I just got the perfume one day, wore it, after like 20 mins my house door rang and the guest visiting said she liked the smell of my perfume.

[@jeffbrown7790]

Sublime is a clone of Eden Juicy Apple by Kayali …..

[@joesmellsgood]

Any clue how close it is? I've never smelled the Kayali.

[@jeffbrown7790]

⁠​⁠@@joesmellsgoodSublime is about 95% close. Juicy Apple n Litchi fruity sweet with that rose. Kayali was more sweet sugary fruit ..Def a unisex leaning more feminine Scent. If you like Vanilla gourmand fragrances is honor & glory worth a pick up? Is it sweet creamy vanilla or creamy pineapple or both? Any spice to it? How is the projection n longevity?

[@joesmellsgood]

@@jeffbrown7790 it's quite creamy, but has that sour pineapple note. But is pretty musk heavy, so it hangs around pretty well. I haven't tried it in the cold yet, but would imagine it does well. Longevity was on par with the rest of the line for me, 5+ hours. Not sure what the current price of H&G is right now, but if the idea of a pretty straightforward Pina colada that leans more toward pineapple juice and lighter on the cream, then may be worth checking out. I think it's more unisex than Sublime.

[@amirhossein-ht2tt]

They're niche stuff dude

[@joesmellsgood]

Which?

[@eric_GA_77]

Sublime is duping Eden Juicy Apple

[@joesmellsgood]

Never smelled it! Juicy Apple is a good descriptor

These scents are brilliant and they are a steal. This video is just silly.

[@joesmellsgood]

Hey, this just means more for you! Glad you enjoy them!

[@oX313Xo]

Bro if you disagree thats fine. You can say that. But to say the video is silly is just..well...silly. he is sharing his OPINION, everyone's nose is different and has different opinions. Just because you bought them and enjoy all of them doesn't mean everyone will. And to be far asking friends and family all of them hated oud for glory, the others they all said we okay. But a good point he constantly brings up that I think people need to ask themselves more is when will you wear these?? Cause I have all of them and they are honestly just decorations for me at this point cause the presentation is nice. Honor and glory I'll spray once in awhile if I'm at home as a leasure scent but I reach for others when I'm going out or going to work. They are essentially paper weights:)
