This was one of my first videos here on KZbin 😅 so don't judge me too harshly 🙏❤️ P.s. Which was your FIRST Middle Eastern perfume? Let me know ❤️

[@carolharvey8677]

Bought my first Opulent Fragrance a month ago. Opulent Red. Loved it, so then purchased Opulent Musk..which I absolutely love. Every time I wear it someone always compliments me and asks where they can buy it❤

[@sanneparf]

😍Carol, same !!! So i don't get the polarizing reviews, where people on KZbin are bashing these perfumes ❤️

[@pdwoolwine2685]

I actually hated the red I had to go scrub it off it was so offensive

[@ashieash46]

I absolutely can’t stand the opulent musk. Smells like a hospital

[@ginak5757]

I have all 3 and my favourites are Opulent Red and Opulent Oud... Very good value and pleasant fragrances with excellent performance 👍

[@sanneparf]

Thank you for your comment! The performance on these are shockingly good, I agree.

[@nadiasmith1601]

I loved your review! ❤️👍🏽❤️ I love how you compare the fragrances to others out there so we can get a feel of what they all may resemble or of what they come close to. The white one smelled like gasoline on me no matter how long I let it sit 🥺 so I’m hoping the red one doesn’t do that cuz I love Alien!!!! 🥰

[@sanneparf]

Hi, Beautiful! Thank you so much! To be totally honest - The Opulent Line is very polarizing, not safe for blindbuying. The Opulent Red has some similarities with Alien, sure, but it's not a dupe. There's a real dupe called Sacrifice for Her Ajmal. I wear opulent red in open spaces, outdoors mostly, for music festivals, etc, as its a stroooong one 😇

[@TehZnX]

I just received opulent oud, my first middle eastern style and first oud scent. This is such a great switch up from the usual fresh and clean or sweet designer scents! I think its surprisingly easy to wear, i had shaghaf oud a year ago and i sent it back cause it was waay too synthetic and too much in the opening. This one will stay in the collection for sure, such a great bargain! Thank you for this video ✌🏻

[@sanneparf]

Thank you for sharing your experience with Opulent Oud! It does smell unique & will get more rounded with time ❤️

[@abuubakarabdallah4540]

I gotta tell you something, these products are the best... i have the oppulent red and Oud, sometimes i even combine them to get the unique taste, believe and im not bragging or anything, ladies at my workplace get turned on when i pass by near them.. I think i should try musk too..

[@WhenHerbSpeaks]

I watched this video and purchased Opulent Red today. I'm looking forward to enjoying it.

[@sanneparf]

Hi! It's my summer festival scent :) Enjoy!

[@Marlena_Q]

Hi, I have some fragrances from Lattafa including Opulent Musk and Oud. I like them very much. (Oud is like a warm rum cake with lots of spices and Musk is a sweetish musk with a bit of woody notes mixed but only a bit with Baccarat 540 and some Oud) I recommend trying Blend of Khalta and Khamrah with Lattafa too. I bet you'll like it.

[@sanneparf]

Thank you for your comment! I will put them on my "test" list 😉 Have a great evening!

[@CatLover-g7j]

Now you need to review the Blue version. Blue Oud...the 4th edition. ❤

[@sanneparf]

Nope, I'm done with this line 🫡

[@ShoeScents]

Ooooill have to try these. Love your reviews 😍😍

[@lorrainewilson4002]

Opulent red ...hmm, I found it a bit synthetic and thick feeling ..however I think they defo need maserating.. its better layered with a nice oud ( oud mood ) and that nice blood orange pops out 😊

[@sanneparf]

Thank you for sharing your insights! This is def a bold line 😃

[@pdwoolwine2685]

I just recently tried the opulent red and I had to run scrub it off it was horrible

[@sanneparf]

Yes, it's not for everybody+ there's good batches & bad batches of Opulent Red - so it smells differently for everyone 🍁

[@anthonylove113]

Thank you for your very insightful review 👍😊💯. I have one important question for you, how much time should my Lattafa fragrances stay in my closet?

[@stylist62]

I have all 3 love the white, red smells like a tire store rubber, kind of like the black haven’t had the black and red on long enough I hope it was a good buy

[@mrah2423]

Thanks Sanne, I'll definitely try out Opulent Oud

[@sanneparf]

☀️👍

[@kharismakayasa]

Thanks for the review very helpfull

[@sanneparf]

Thank you for watching & letting me know! I'm glad ❤️

[@sandisteko9067]

Just found your channel. Great review. May I ask which one is your most favorite? 😊Greetings from germany.

[@sanneparf]

Thank you so much! A warm welcome to you ☀️ They all are very peculiar. Very "out there" scents. Not a safe blindbuy, as the reformulations do occur with Lattafa & some people have gotten bad batches that smell like gasoline, etc. I got these bottles 1+ year ago.

[@karolinak.1034]

I'm thinking of buying Lataffa Opulent Oud but I'm a little afraid I won't like it. I don't know this scent but I have read many reviews that the scent has a long projection. I really like the bottle. she's beautiful. Btw: beautiful earrings❤❤❤

[@sanneparf]

Hi 🙌❤️ Thank you so much! My opinion has slightly changed, now that approximately 1 year has passed- Opulent Oud is quite sharp.. it's spicy, the saffron here is very strong. It's boozy, dark and spicy.. might lean masculine, as it's woody as well. If you enjoy persistent, Arabian style fragrances, then give it a try, but it's not a safe blindbuy. I gave my half used bottle to my dad & he is wearing it with pleasure. It has a long scent trail, that's true ☀️ people will notice your fragrance, that's also true. Best for the colder months, in the summer it was suffocating.. I hope it helps!

[@karolinak.1034]

@@sanneparf Thank you for your help. I forgot it was unisex. I've never had an Arabic scent before and I think I'll hold off on buying it for now... Spring is coming so I think it's worth looking for perfumes for this time of year

[@alewinky]

My first middle e. Fragrance is raghba just this christmas and i like it, i feel it like an egyptian tea...but it's very strong...just one spray. Then i try ana Abiyedh leather and i love it, it's strange and so fresh...and 3 opulent oud and for my type of life it' s too strong, maybe because i usually don't go out in the evening, i'm a quite woman TV and coach 🤭 especially in winter.

[@sanneparf]

I also have Raghba. I sometimes get a cherry nuanse in it. Yes, I agree, Opulent Oud is not an easy daily reach, I also mentioned in my video,that it is more like a special occasion scent. Potent, spicy, dark rose & oud..

[@waelmkaouar3037]

Excellent review and you have a very nice personality. I have shagaf Oud Aswad and Shagaf Oud abyadh. Do you recommend Opulent black over Shagaf Oud ( gold bottle ) ?

[@sanneparf]

Thank you so much! In Opulent Oud the rose is not prominent in comparison to Shaghaf Oud Aswad. Opulent oud is more spicy and with a prominent caramel & boozy aspect. If you already own Shaghaf Oud, maybe Opulent Oud will feel redundant to you, I don't know... To my nose, they share that sharp saffron/a bit metallic accord.

[@hubaidatlawal9948]

The blue opulent is still the best

[@sanneparf]

Didn't end up trying it. Great it works for you! ☀️

[@d4mnation647]

great video!

[@sanneparf]

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@dumisamatshikiza3857]

I wanted to compare Opulent Red with Oud Mood, now I’m confused by the comments.

[@sanneparf]

Hi, thank you for stopping by! It's not similar imo ☀️

[@sniffingfragrance4767]

Have all 3 of them .Havent unboxed the red one yet. But white one is nice:)

[@sanneparf]

Hey, thank you for stopping by! The red is a polarising one. Let me know what do you think once you open it. I personally feel that all of these get better with time, especially the new batches.

[@EsoxLVCIVS6776]

I'm about to buy them. Did you know that there's a blue one too?

[@sanneparf]

Hi, thanks for watching! Really, all 3? The red one can be challenging at first, but at least none of these are boring 😉 Especially for the price. The blue one had too many polarizing reviews, so I decided not to purchase it..

[@EsoxLVCIVS6776]

@@sanneparf yes, it's the red one that has my interest piqued more than the others. Also a lot of people give bad reviews rather than put the fragrance away for at least 6 months to macerate before passing judgement especially with the Middle Eastern houses but also the designer houses claiming that the 'formula has changed' etc etc when in reality if a fragrance is popular then new batches are being made and send out to cover demand. Just like wine, cheese or pipe tobacco these are organic and need time to develop. I have a row of bottles that I'm itching to use but I will wait until later in the year because I have others that I can use in the meantime. I have vials of oud in my collection many are duplicates because even though they are from the same source the older ones are deeper and more resonant than newer ones. Even the colour changes and gets darker. Subscribed!

[@sanneparf]

@@EsoxLVCIVS6776 YESSS!!! I so agree with you about the macaration process. The red was all over the place at first, but I let it sit & voila! It's nicely rounded now. I purchased all of them last year in spring, if I remember correctly & been wearing them since. Also, the bottles are so durable - one fell brutally, but zero damage 😁

[@ZalikhaOusou]

Thanks I am going to buy them

[@sanneparf]

Hi, thank you for watching! These are quite polarizing fragrances, so I do not encourage blindbuying ♥️ But if you enjoy Middle Eastern strong, unusual fragrances, you might enjoy at least one of them.

[@TeyanThuny]

I want the black one. But I already have Montale Dark Aoud

[@sanneparf]

Then you are probably all set ☀️ What's your current favourite fragrance, may I ask?

[@TeyanThuny]

@@sanneparf i think it’s Ombre Nomade and Dark aoud

[@sanneparf]

@@TeyanThuny 🙏Thank you for sharing! I also enjoy Ombre Nomade!

[@SH13.9.]

My first middle eastern perfume was shaghaf oud. It is a nice one though I don’t reach for it that much! Sanne which one if the three perfumes do you prefer ? 🌺

[@sanneparf]

Hey, Sarah, I actually like all three of them, for different reasons. Also, they are very different from each other. I forgot to mention, that all three can be layered together & work well combined. My favourite is the Opulent Musk, because it substitutes Baccarat Rouge 540 to me (I finished my BR 540 bottle already & do not have to repurchase, because I already have a bottle of Opulent Musk which is very similar, but not as sweet & overwhelming). And when it comes to Opulent Red, it is sweet & fun boozy floral perfume, that reminds me of the og Alien. I love jasmine trees.. I wore it a lot in summer evenings. The least worn is Opulent Oud, because it's dense & heavy & spicy, so not an every day perfume, to me at least. I hope I answered your question ❤️

[@alexa8337]

I just got my Opulent red perfume ( it was a blind buy from the internet). It smells like gasoline 😮 i really got sick 🤢. The gasoline takes away all the other nice scents in the perfume, so sad..... i dont even dare to try it again on my skin 😢 well at leas it was cheap

[@sanneparf]

Thank you for sharing! I have read this on Fragrantica as well.. I think there is an inconsistency in the batches by Lattafa.. unfortunately.. i have tested my opulent red on all my family members & I asked, do they smell gasoline & all of them said no. I think I got lucky with my batch.. P.s. I am not sponsored by any brand, so here I'm sharing my honest opinion & i still wear opulent red up to this day... This line is definitely not blindbuy safe ☀️

[@alexa8337]

@@sanneparf thank you for the answer♥️. I must say the gasoline scent is now gone from the perfume, and I can only smell the other scents. I think that the gasoline disappears after a few weeks after one opens the perfume bootle. This is a gorgeous perfume, it's not for the faint-hearted(when it comes to perfumes) that for sure! It's really strong, sweet, flowery, spicy, woody, powdery, everything in one, and I totally adore it. Really addictive smell also. I wear it now at work but only on my wrist( because some coworkers are allergic to perfumes) which I smell it when I need some energy boost , if this makes sense 😅🥰 Thank you for the great video!

[@sanneparf]

@@alexa8337 I'm glad Opulent Red worked out for you in the end! P.s. I recently purchased "Oudain" by Lattafa and in the beginning it also had a gasoline accord, but now, after multiple wears and after sitting in the dark for a while, it's beautiful!!! Have a great day ☀️

[@claire9702]

I just purchased Opulent Musk. I like it at first but then after awhile it has a strong almost animalic odour which I think is Anbroxan? From reading other reviews online I think it needs some time to settle?

[@sanneparf]

Hi, I think it's the Saffron note you are referring to. Saffron can smell quite animalic. Ambroxan, on the other hand, to me smells like paper, freshly cut wood, cotton, etc.

[@CatLover-g7j]

Is the White version Unisex?

[@sanneparf]

It's unisex yes, but the scent profile is very peculiar & will not be everyone's cup of tea ☀️

[@The_Connoisseur]

It's been a year now, which one would you recommend in terms of compliments from people and annouces one's presence. PS; I'm looking for a strong projections and very unique and long lasting sillage

[@sanneparf]

Hi! If you like spicy, sharp scents with saffron & oud - Opulent Oud. It's the strongest one with a solid scent trail 😁 P.s. it's been a year now - I got it for only 15€, used up 3/4 & then gave it to my dad. Hope it helps! ☀️

Between the red and white which one would you recommend

[@sanneparf]

Hi and thank you for your question ❤️ Red is more for going out & evening wear, as it's loud & will make you stand out. The white one is similar to BR540 , citrusy fluffy musc.. more day time appropriate. Hope it helps!

It’s possible it just needs time to settle. Put it in a cupboard for a few months then try again. I’m doing that with Opulent Musk. It’s ok on paper but on my skin it’s got a weird off putting smell so I’ve put it away for a few months and will try it again at some point and if it’s still weird then I’ll pass it on.
