Stopped in Burlington yesterday and they were loaded with Lattafa and others, I grabbed Khamara and Asad, saw a few others including Oud for Glory but passed. I have Ameer Al Oudh Intense and I love it, great alternative to By the Fireplace
Hey gerard, keep an eye out for maahir legacy at your local Burlington,they have them around with the holiday cologne bundles they normally put out. Just got mine and it smells great!
Ameer Al Oud was one I got early on when I started collecting 2 years ago, it's a comfy scent, I have even sprayed it on at night before bed. basically marshmallows by the fireplace. it's not "complex" but what it does it does very well. And yes I have layered it, it goes well with many other frags, do you have something sweet and fruity? layer it, have a heavy vanilla frag? layer it. it should work well with any heavily floral scent, so guys if you have something you think leans too feminine for comfort, layer some Ameer Al Oud, and "man it up" some. even though Ameer is unisex, the heavy use of oud/wood levels the playing field. I love sweet smoky ouds, and have about 5 frags with different variations oud/rose, oud/herbals, oud/leather etc. it's a very flexible note, that can smell like soft woody not, to intense smoky forest fire smell, it can also be dampy like wet wood and smell like a barn and animalic. oud can be 5 different notes it seems.
I've had ameer intense for a year and had many compliments from it. It improves over time for sure and darkens..my daughter has worn it for school and I can smell it on her easily 8 hours later.
Last year I found a PR Phantom EDT Gift Set at Ross for $49 during the holiday season. It contained a 100ml & 10ml. What a steal. Hopefully I get lucky this year as well.
I have Ameer Al Oud Intense and i totally agree with your take on it...very linear/simple but it is warm and inviting for this time of year. I consider it the proto-typical mid-east scent because I feel Lattafa, and their many offshoot brands, used this scent dna as the base/backbone to many of their fragrances...especially in releases from a few years back.
Was at work and a colleague came and smelt very nice, asked what it was and said Ameer Al Oud. So apparently it smells way better in the air then smelling it off skin. Revisit these two in couple of months and see how they change, Lattafa fragrances get much better with time as you might have noticed already
I don't understand why they make it so hard for you to see the price tags in these safety boxes they do that at my Burlington also. It's common sense to just put the price tag on it so you can see it thru the clear box.
Man Burlington has been on it for sure! They had so much good stuff. I left with a bottle of Lataffas amethyst badee Al oud so freaking excited to smell this stuff
I'm always a little leery of blind buying Middle Eastern fragrances. So many of them have that "funk" or "twang" that you mentioned. Doesn't mix well with the high heat of Texas. No idea how they wear them in the heat of the Middle East!
Was in there today and they were literally loaded Qaeed al fursan,lattafa amethyst,suqraat,asad,asad zanzibar,ameer al oudh amd alof more lattafas snagged the suqraat for 20
I have the Oud Intense, and for me the dry down is where it shines. I also have Ramz Silver which is an Ultra Male clone, which I like better than Ultra Male and 9pm. Maair is also good too, and Aasad kind of weird bottle but the juice is great. A lot of there other fragrances have rose in them, this is not for me.
I went to BCF on my way home from work because I saw the thumbnail of your video earlier today. My BCF had the same Fragrances but I didn't see Zanzabar. I thought of buying the Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud but I passed because my wife made a stank face when she smelled By The Fireplace that smells similar to it. I passed on the Suqraat because it's out of season. Looking forward to seeing more Fragrances at BCF in the future.
I personally have 16 of the best Lattafa brands. I did buy 5 from Burlington store, but Jomashop was always cheaper. Believe me I compare them as i buy. The cool thing about Burlington store if you don’t like the smell, you can just walk in there and return it. They do not care and I’ve been to four different Burlington stores and they’re all the same. If you purchase something from Jomashop, you can always return it, but you just have to pay the shipping, I bought nine from Jomashop all Lattafa ,and I return three and it cost me seven dollars to return them. They took it right off the balance.
I went to 2 Burlingtons today looking for Suqraat after seeing it last week. I literally saw a vid on a local guy's fragrance channel of my Burlington with multiple bottles filmed last night and totally gone by today :( I guess the massive (and pricey) 6.7oz AdG EDP will have to hold me over lol. This is kinda awesome and performance strikes me as abnormally good. My first full bottle AdG actually.
Ameer is interesting as when I first got I enjoyed it was wasn’t blown away, then I tried it again like 4 months later and disliked it because I noticed a spice like cumin in it, so I put it away, then I tried again recently like 6 months later and I enjoyed it again and didn’t mind the spice note and in fact thought it made the fragrance more interesting.
I too have been racking up on Lattafa in my local rack store. My fav finds so far have been Blue Oud, Velvet Rose (intoxicating rose scent), Ameer Al Oudh, Hayaati Florence 💯, Maahir (came with a gift bag too🤩), Eternal Oud, Khamrah Qahwa, Fakhar Lattafa, Qaed Al Fursun, Ameerat Al Arab (good for layering), & Amethyst & Oud for Glory (Bade’e Al Oud)…. I have more, but those are my top picks so far. Waiting to come across Maahir Legacy 🤞🏽…until then I’ll be enjoying what I have lol
If you see Sahari - Ramz Al Sahara, it’s a clone of Creed’s SMW with some added lemon, tuberose, and vanilla. It’s bomb. Just picked it up at Marshall’s; the box was open, so I had a sniff and immediately thought, “That’s SMW,” because I was wearing SMW! I recognized it right away.
@ about as long as the original SMW so no 😂 I got like 4-5 hours on my skin but it was $17 not complaining lasted longer on clothing I can still smell it on my shirt. If you’re looking for a good long lasting SMW clone go with club de nuit sillage or supremacy in heaven.
@TheDoooburner I'm pretty happy with it! I was nervous getting another fragrance with the DNA, but it sounded different enough and I was not disappointed
My burlingtons usually suck. Yesterday I was shocked- Kamrah, Qaed Al Fursan, Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited, Assad, Oud for Glory, Bade’e Al Oud Amethyst, Suqraat, Ramz Gold, Ameer Al Oudh, Ramz Silver, Bentley Black Edition, Bentley for men EDT, lots of banana republic, crazy!! I got Suqraat yesterday and TOTALLY agree with your assessment of
First! Man i wish i could get some luck on finding these at mine! Ive been on the hunt for eternal oud since these started hitting the rack stores. Im about to cash app someone for a bottle lol if they would send it
@@RCSkunkWorX that's awesome. I seen this at the store and didn't pick it up because I wasn't sure what I was getting. I'm going to go back and grab it if it's still there.
Went to three Burlingtons today expecting to find Ameer Al oud and Suqraat. Nothing. I did see Zanzibar, Khamrah, Ramz silver and Gold, Asad and Qued Al Fursan though. Btw...smell Ramz Gold...its horrible. Rose, woods and vanilla. Sprayed my hand and stunk until i could scrub it off.
Like Zanzibar, LOVE khamrah, Like ramz silver ok, Qaed al Fursan is great, Haven't tried Asad yet. Suqraat doesn't do anything for me. Oud for Glory & (Glory and Honor) are great.
For all you guys out there, I’m just curious about what your wives think about some of the perfumes that you buy I know most of the ones I like are Middle Eastern and they’re kind of a gourmet type perfume which I also have the typical American perfumes but for some reason, my wife only likes the fresh ones. She says the rest are horrible, lol. so I’m just curious if it’s a woman thing that only likes fresh perfumes and the men tend to go out and get something more exotic tell me what you think.
Man,you don’t rummage into the backs of the shelves like I do. I never know what’s hiding back there. I’m always hopeful that some bottle of Creed or Xjeroff is hiding back there. Sadly it’s just more CR7 and Michael Jordan most of the time.
Haha oh I know man. And I’m just playing, I honestly like the Burlington ones. But yeah mine continues to be bad. Just went today actually and was disappointed again 😂
SHUHRAH...LONGEVITY 2 WEEKZ...SILLAGE OUT OF THIS WORLD...HARD 2 FIND SUMTHIN BETTER AT THIS PRICE POINT...LEAVES ME SPEECHLESS...SOTD HATTAI LE COUVENT
You waste so much time with these cheapies at Burlington and the other rack stores that you're missing the great sales at Macy's along with the bonus gifts from the major design houses. Along with cashback, those Macy's discounts on the top designer fragrances mean you can get them for less than or the same price as the grey market crap sold by the discounters - and you're buying from an authorized seller.
I just started up a little cologne collection for my little man and myself. because I want us to smell nice at church and other places. These colognes smell better and last far far longer than the knock offs at the flea markets
Stopped in Burlington yesterday and they were loaded with Lattafa and others, I grabbed Khamara and Asad, saw a few others including Oud for Glory but passed. I have Ameer Al Oudh Intense and I love it, great alternative to By the Fireplace
Yes sir!
Hey gerard, keep an eye out for maahir legacy at your local Burlington,they have them around with the holiday cologne bundles they normally put out. Just got mine and it smells great!
Thanks for the heads up I've wanted to try that forever!
I just got both of these this week 👍🏼. I'm happy with both of them.
Great pickups!

All well said here! Yes I do have some fruity, floral scents that would balance PERFECTLY with somethig like Ameer Al Oud. Thanks for sharing.
How much is Chrome going for these days at the rack store?
Usually under $30
I've had ameer intense for a year and had many compliments from it. It improves over time for sure and darkens..my daughter has worn it for school and I can smell it on her easily 8 hours later.
Yes many are saying this. Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Another trip to Burlington is in order!
Good luck!
Good video! Nice to know about! What's your thoughts on CK euphoria? Have you smelled before? Thanks
I can't remember if I smelled that one yet Vance I'll have to try it.
I saw Banana Republic's Tobacco & Tonka Bean at Burlington. Any good?🤔
It's solid
He's reviewed it before. Safe blind buy.
Really good. Alittle sweet and I get alot of coconut and plum and less tobacco. But I still love it.
Yes! Very very good!!! I own it and love it!!!
I had it in my hand yesterday, was afraid of blind buy. Got Khmrah instead!
All the Burlington's in my area have finally been getting more and different fragrances in stock, but still not anything good like you're getting.
I'm hoping you start to get some of these!
Last year I found a PR Phantom EDT Gift Set at Ross for $49 during the holiday season. It contained a 100ml & 10ml. What a steal. Hopefully I get lucky this year as well.
You will! Unfortunately I don't have a Ross here in MA.

SPOT ON!
Hey Gerard. Both good choices. I hope the Burlingtons in my area step it up soon. Thanks for the video.
Me too! My pleasure.
Was at work and a colleague came and smelt very nice, asked what it was and said Ameer Al Oud. So apparently it smells way better in the air then smelling it off skin. Revisit these two in couple of months and see how they change, Lattafa fragrances get much better with time as you might have noticed already
Same. Ive worn a few sprays for work and got about 4 compliments in one day
Will do!
I just got the Ameer Oud one but haven’t smelled it yet. Can’t wait!
Enjoy! Lasted all day on me!
I need to make my way to Burlington. I've lucked up and found a few Lattafa fragrances at Marshalls. But I've got to check out Burlington now!
Good luck in the giveaway!
@@gerardgeorge Thanks!
I don't understand why they make it so hard for you to see the price tags in these safety boxes they do that at my Burlington also. It's common sense to just put the price tag on it so you can see it thru the clear box.
Exactly!
Burlington has been incredible for Lattafa fragrances lately. I finally found Eternal Oud, which was worth the wait.
Yeah that’s one that catches my eye.
Lattafa so fat is the longest lasting out of my little collection
Its so good! Nice find.
Man Burlington has been on it for sure! They had so much good stuff. I left with a bottle of Lataffas amethyst badee Al oud so freaking excited to smell this stuff
Enjoy!
Glad to see random candles placed on the cologne racks at your BCF and it’s not just at mine.
LMAO!
I'm always a little leery of blind buying Middle Eastern fragrances. So many of them have that "funk" or "twang" that you mentioned. Doesn't mix well with the high heat of Texas. No idea how they wear them in the heat of the Middle East!
I agree but many will easily wear these in heat.
Was in there today and they were literally loaded
Qaeed al fursan,lattafa amethyst,suqraat,asad,asad zanzibar,ameer al oudh amd alof more lattafas snagged the suqraat for 20
What a time to be alive and a fragrance head!
I have the Oud Intense, and for me the dry down is where it shines. I also have Ramz Silver which is an Ultra Male clone, which I like better than Ultra Male and 9pm. Maair is also good too, and Aasad kind of weird bottle but the juice is great. A lot of there other fragrances have rose in them, this is not for me.
I agree the drydown smelled great and lasted a while on me. Projected as well.
We just basically bought the same fragrances this past week. That Ameer Al Oud Intense blew me away.
Enjoy!
Friday I found Carolina herrera bad boy le parfum at Ross for $40 50 ml
Nice find! I don't have a ROSS near me.
Layer Al Ameer with Lattafa Majd Al Sultan, makes it smell like By the Fireplace
I have both I'll give it a try!
Red Sox hat in corduroy????? Love it!!!!!!!!!
Yea this was a must buy at Marshalls!
I went to BCF on my way home from work because I saw the thumbnail of your video earlier today.
My BCF had the same Fragrances but I didn't see Zanzabar.
I thought of buying the Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud but I passed because my wife made a stank face when she smelled By The Fireplace that smells similar to it. I passed on the Suqraat because it's out of season.

@@coachkeith643 it's a lot sweeter than by the fire place. Sugary sweet
I make a stink face too when I have tried by the fireplace.
Me too!

Overlooking ck shock let's me know ur new at this.
Naaaahhhh been talking about it for years!
@gerardgeorge but what about those who haven't heard about it in those several years you've mentioned it? IG they get the blade huh?

I'll keep an eye out thanks!
Have you ever done a video of your full collection? I wouldn’t mind watching that tbh
Not yet!
spray that ameer 10 times outside and let it sit two weeks :)
Will do!
The one close to my job had none of that. I ended up purchasing Banana Republic Tobacco & Tonka and Midnight Hour which smells like MG Blockade.
Both great pickups. Midnight Hour is the harder to find of the two.
Have you tried Banana Republic midnight hour? Just picked it up.
Me too I was just about to ask!
It's good I bought it last week. It smells like explorer
@@beaver6d9Smells pretty good. The Mango is interesting.
@TheDoooburner I'm pretty happy with it! I was nervous getting another fragrance with the DNA, but it sounded different enough and I was not disappointed
I have. Another winner from the house.
That store is strapped!
Lol really is!
My burlingtons usually suck. Yesterday I was shocked- Kamrah, Qaed Al Fursan, Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited, Assad, Oud for Glory, Bade’e Al Oud Amethyst, Suqraat, Ramz Gold, Ameer Al Oudh, Ramz Silver, Bentley Black Edition, Bentley for men EDT, lots of banana republic, crazy!!
I got Suqraat yesterday and TOTALLY agree with your assessment of

I wish our TJ Maxx would get some stuff like that!
I hope you do!
I only.have Marshalls near me and all they have is both Ramz by lattafa and I own them both already lol. You should get your nose on qa'eed by lattafa
Yea I haven't tried that one yet!
I’ve heard that OP Black smells like Ysl LNDL but waaaay stronger
Wait? OP Black?
@ yessir. Ocean Pacific Black! It was in video let me find the time stamp
@@gerardgeorge1:24
Saw Fakhar Black @ Burlington $24.99
Where
Solid pickup!
Did you get your nose on aether extrait de Parfum by French avenue yet?
Not yet!
Did you make the beat?
I did not.
:57 thought you were going for the Jordan. 😂
Next time!
First! Man i wish i could get some luck on finding these at mine! Ive been on the hunt for eternal oud since these started hitting the rack stores. Im about to cash app someone for a bottle lol if they would send it
Hopefully some hit your store for the holiday rush!
Hopefully. ive found all the other main ones but not the newer ones everyone is finding@gerardgeorge
"Suqraat" apparently means "Socrates." It's supposed to be a AdG Profumo clone.
Does it hit?
@@Hitthegasmedia Yes it smells exactly like Gio profumo I have both and you can't tell them apart
@@RCSkunkWorX that's awesome. I seen this at the store and didn't pick it up because I wasn't sure what I was getting. I'm going to go back and grab it if it's still there.
I think I'll be doing a giveaway with this one.. Stay tuned!
Every time you say middle eastern twang,I think of the Nelly song Midwest thang, y'alllllllll 🤣
LOL well done!
Ameer Al Oudh is supposed to be a BTF clone but it’s way too, idk alcohol-ey for me
Thanfully I didn't get that. Its strong though lasted all day on me.
Let that Ameer Al Oudh sit for a bit and it will smell like a middle eastern version of by the Fireplace but with herbal notes.
Will do!
Went to three Burlingtons today expecting to find Ameer Al oud and Suqraat. Nothing. I did see Zanzibar, Khamrah, Ramz silver and Gold, Asad and Qued Al Fursan though. Btw...smell Ramz Gold...its horrible. Rose, woods and vanilla. Sprayed my hand and stunk until i could scrub it off.
I wanna get that fursan, I heard it’s a pineapple bomb….
@@djkenske1973it is.
Like Zanzibar, LOVE khamrah, Like ramz silver ok, Qaed al Fursan is great, Haven't tried Asad yet. Suqraat doesn't do anything for me. Oud for Glory & (Glory and Honor) are great.
I got both Ameer Al Oudh and Suqraat when I went to Burlington this week They had Eternal Oud too.
@@djkenske1973 it is. I've had it for a while. It's good stuff for warm weather.
I don't think ADG works for me Ive tried a couple clones( had suqraat or however its spelled, gave to a friend). Just doesn't do much for me.
I have a few of those too unfortunately.
Ameer al Oud is too oily and sticky for me.
Not gonna be for everyone for sure.
For all you guys out there, I’m just curious about what your wives think about some of the perfumes that you buy I know most of the ones I like are Middle Eastern and they’re kind of a gourmet type perfume which I also have the typical American perfumes but for some reason, my wife only likes the fresh ones.

This seems to be the case! Women either like the warm and sweet or the clean and fresh! If you are lucky you have one that likes both.
Squratt smells like Aqua di gio parfum just like it
Pretty solid alternative for sure. I agree its closer to the parfum than the Profumo.
NICELY DONE GERARD, GREAT JOB ON THE VIDEO AND HAUL. STAY SAFE BROTHER SOTD LATTAFA PRIDE LINE ART OF WOOD.
Thanks Greg!
Prices should be cheaper than Amazon.
Amazon isnt the cheapest anymore.
Man,you don’t rummage into the backs of the shelves like I do. I never know what’s hiding back there. I’m always hopeful that some bottle of Creed or Xjeroff is hiding back there. Sadly it’s just more CR7 and Michael Jordan most of the time.
My eyes are scanning like no other. At this point I can see the corner of a box and know what it is. Lol
I’m actually at the point that I’m annoyed watching these now because my Burlington is nothing like this lol
Lol I have plenty of other content on that channel as well!
Haha oh I know man. And I’m just playing, I honestly like the Burlington ones. But yeah mine continues to be bad. Just went today actually and was disappointed again 😂
I ain’t buying that THANG if it got that TWANG 😂😂. I bought the rams lattafa and MANNN that twang was gross imo.

stop buying these clones. stop supporting these Arab companies.
Burlington is an American company. Lattafa already made their money.
@@gerardgeorge if people stop buying them then sooner or later Burlington will stop ordering from them.
