To me when I first tried it I got a blast of smoke and a sweet smell to it!.At the dry down the vanilla came out strong with a woody marshmallow touch!
I sampled this today, and surprisingly, it smells so much like by the fireplace. Yes, it's less smokey, but the scent is so similar to the original that some people may find it difficult to distinguish one from another.
The only thing with clones is that you need to macerate the bottle. Remembered thinking if i got a bad batch when i bought my 1st few clones. But they are much much cheaper so take it as it is. This fragrance after 1 week is awesome. Especially during the drydown.
Man, Im so very confused bc I just finally got a bottle of this yesterday, It smells of rubber and slightly of sugar with NO smokey accord and pretty weak performance. It has the holographic sricker and bottle looks legit. Hoping its a maceration thing.
I have an interesting question, what if we mix ameer al oudh with Mancera Cedrat Boise..they're totally different but i noticed that the one who wears ameer al oudh will enjoy it more than other people smelling him, while Mancera Cedrat Boise makes the opposite effect, so why not mix them and create something "interesting"
@realscentreview let's say i want to test it first in a spoon for example, which fragrance should i add more of.. like 80% Mancera 20% ameer al oudh? Or the opposite or 50% 50%
@@faroukFTT I would use 80% Ameer and 20% Cedrat. Ameer is sweet and better as a base, Cedrat is fresher and better for the opening/mid parts. In this particular case, Cedrat has better performance even though it is the fresher of the two options. I'd use a smaller ratio of that because of this. So, for this particular example you'd get the citrus and woods in the top and the drydown of caramel vanilla. In general, the sweeter fragrance should make up the base part because the notes are heavier and last longer. This particular case is strange though because the fresh Cedrat is much stronger than the Ameer. You really have to look at each potential layering pair on a case by case basis.
They are both based on glazed chestnut and sweetness. Raghba Wood adds smoky and licorice, while Ameer is just woody with no smoke or licorice. It is not redundant to own both As far as which one is better: Ameer is closer to By The Fireplace but Raghba Intense just adds an exciting flair to the DNA. It is smokier than both of them and the licorice is really nice in my opinion. The performance on Raghba might be slightly better
Lattaffa is a wonderful fragrance house ✨ AGREED!! I can’t go back to niche fragrances 😅 saving money while smelling expensive WIN WIN 🎉
You rock. Subscribed to your channel!
Yeah, I have to concur

I like this one for what it offers.
I will be reviewing another similar, but far more smokey fragrance in the near future.
I got mine in the mail earlier and i love it. Very oudy to me, but it's a sweet-smelling oud. Dirt cheap too, I paid $15. Great review!
This has become one of my favorite winter fragrances
Brother hows the projection how long lasting
Very long lasting and good projection.
@@russkelly9257is it wearable on spring or summer nights when its like 15°C?
Great reviews. A relaxed, ordinary bloke type format. Very relatable.
My channel name says it all
It sounds amazing, I’ll definitely pick one up!
A blind buy I would suggest to anyone !

I concur.
For those who enjoy the smokey aspects of BTF, I will be releasing a review of a scent that provides such notes in the near future.

Great video, i would recommend to put music on your intro and work on thumbnails, but otherwise amazing video ❤
Thanks. I'd recommend checking out my videos from June 2023 onward.
When I first tried it Lattafa "Ameer al Oudh intense oud" I got a smell of mandarines, nuts and brown sugar mixture cooked on a bonfire :)
I enjoy the imagery you convey!
Thanks for the comment!
Any Lattaffa scents that are similar but drier? I don’t mind mild sweet tones but prefer drier, woodier leather tobacco type scents
@@TylerLane-s5u Not really that I know of. I don't follow the house much anymore.
I also suggest to taste Swiss Arabian : Shaghaf Oud Abyad
It's not bad. I prefer Supremacy Incense by Afnan though.
Thanks for the suggestion!
30$ last year, today its like 18$ minimum with shipping costs 14-15$
That depends on what part of the world you're in, but yes, a price increase wouldn't surprise me as this is a popular fragrance.

In other words which one should be the dominant one if we ignore personal preferences

@@realscentreview that was a real enlightenment, im greatly thankful for the explanation
a bit confused, Lattafa Raghba Wood Intense & LATTAFA AMEER AL OUDH INTENSE OUD
are these two similar fragrance ?
which one is better?
They are both based on glazed chestnut and sweetness.
Raghba Wood adds smoky and licorice, while Ameer is just woody with no smoke or licorice.
It is not redundant to own both
As far as which one is better:
Ameer is closer to By The Fireplace but Raghba Intense just adds an exciting flair to the DNA. It is smokier than both of them and the licorice is really nice in my opinion.
The performance on Raghba might be slightly better
Does it smell lika raghba wood intense?
Vaguely. Both different scents and not redundant.
It's very good, but considering the price difference on discounters, BTF Place all the way!
I appreciate them both for what they are.
I'm really into the Oud note in this one though, no matter how tame it is
@@realscentreview I see your point.
This one does have smoke notes bro but just not much.
its maison margiela not martin margiela lol
good vid tho
Maison means "house" in French.
"House of Martin Margiela"
@@realscentreview my bad
@@zlativitezyou must feel dumb after that . Bonne journée 😉
@@BA-cz4is you must’ve felt left out and had to join in
@@zlativitez nah i just seen you got murdured correcting him with your chest out thinking you the shit but you was wrong .
Oud for Glory is not the reason everyone knows lattafa lol
@@johnsterthemonster9181 It certainly was one of their first releases to gain the house popularity outside of the Middle East, no question.
@@realscentreview oh absolutely
Which of these two do you prefer? Ameer al Oudh Intense Oud or Asdaaf Majd Al Sultan?
I definitely prefer the Asdaaf because of the ambery smokiness.
