The scent itself is not that bad, i quite like it, it's unique and doesn't smell cheap at all ! and i agree with 90% of what you said ! I bought it between 35 and 40 euros so for the price it's not that bad, still i won't pay much more as there are some better Lattafa's for half the price ! The performance is average, not spectacular, and yes i don't smell Oud at all !! Ironically i absolutely love the bottle, the cap clicks well, and the atomizer is outstanding, the bottle is unique, heavy and standalone between all the classic bottles i have on my shelf :D
This one is all over the place but most reviews seem to be somewhat vague imo. I just couldn't get a grasp of what it actually is... more so emotional reactions lol. You've really picked it apart! Quite a helpful review :)
If it was a stupid niche western house fragrance priced overt $350.00 then it would be fine…..you guys are so silly….for the price it is an awesome fragrance…….and dont come for me because I am not going to even bother to read your comments…
It’s hypocritical that when it gets to middle eastern houses, the standard is always set too high, unlike in these real OVER priced niche and even designer houses. Lattafa Eternal Oud to me is worth the $60 mark as a fragrance from a consistent fragrance house. The quality of the juice and bottle speaks volumes. I might agree with your analysis on the performance, as this doesn’t project that much. Finally, I searched for your grand soir review after watching this, and I realized you haven’t done a review on it yet. I really await it, I need to be clarified more on your logic and measure your bias, cos this fragrance is kinda similar to that, and I’d gladly pay $100 for this, than paying even if it’s $150 for Grand soir. This is just more matured. And oh, the Oud is what makes this kinda dusty and dark in the background.
There seems to be a few points for me to address here Firstly , I'm no hypocrite. I have many perfumes from Middle Eastern House that I have given positive reviews Secondly this one will always be scrutinised as its twice , three times the retail price of many others from the same House and I would be very suprised if manufacturing costs are any different to the rest of the offerings from the House. Thirdly I said in the video that I couldn't smell Oud. I'm not saying that there isn't any in the fragrance. I'm actually quite well versed in Oud and have a lot of oils from all over the world ( Ensar / Oud Base / Phoenix/ Jungle Oud ) i also burn Oud Chips on a regular basis Finally I have not done a review of Grand Soir as I don't own it. I have smelt it and had a decant of it but its not one I have any intention of buying Many thanks for your times
@@QuestioningScents The price is exactly in line with the rest of 20+ fragrances in the Lattafa Pride collection. Did you do much research before posting this video?
@@bluegrassbarrister Yes it is. Its also a lot more expensive ( as are The Pride Collection ) compared to most of the offerings from Lataffa. Oh and yes I do research before filming . Happy with that ? If not go away you melt.
@@QuestioningScents I, in fact, WILL go away. This was my first time viewing any of your content and was quite interested in your perspective on Eternal Oud. However, not only was your video missing valuable context and information, it seems like you are aware you did a "bang average" job with this video and are being defensive about it in the comments. Please add more research and substance to your videos, and less time *trying to be* charming. Melting away now!!!
@@bluegrassbarrister Reading between the lines I get the feeling that you are a little upset that I wasn't blown away by a bang average and over priced perfume. Maybe you need to ' research ' a little more as to what else you can get for your same price. Sorry you feel there is something missing from the video but I don't think there this.
I had the same reaction. Hope this will change over time as some other reviewers mentioned. Do you feel the same now compared to a year ago?
Yeah I'm still feeling the same way
Dude your the funniest reviewer on UTube love your humor and honesty cheers mate 😂
Thanks buddy , glad you like the content 😀

I might be wrong Matt but going with the name I think the bottle decoration are based on an Aquilaria tree it might be a grower buddy

Sorry buddy I cannot for the life of me remember. You like them then ?
@@QuestioningScents they are excellent hahahhah

Nice honest review

Agree with you 100% it is below average fragrance.
You had a lot of expectations
The tree is the the tree oud is sourced from. :-)
It suppose to be a dupe for MFK Grand Soir.
