Essence of Essence
Ameer Al Oudh - the Lattafas already create images of an idealized Orient by name. There the smell comes in the use a Zacken more profaner therefore. I find the prelude minimal medical. The often woody-dry-sour appearance of oud is otherwise captured and smoothed by a creamy overtone. After a quarter of an hour I even imagine a floral note. Jasmin?

A little later I think of the concentrated wood note from Duro. However, here it is milder, sweeter and probably closer to real Oud wood. And speaking of Nasomatto: As we move on (see noirceur's statement), a relationship to Black Afgano indeed becomes unsmellable, although the one in front rushes much sweeter and thicker. With coffee etc. Ameer Al Oudh doesn't irritate us.

I agree with the statement that everything that can be perceived as exaggerated and hewn on with the Nasomatto has become rounder in the Lattafa. In particular, the possibly somewhat out-of-control aroma density of the black was shortened with a sense of proportion (provided the order of the two is actually this - I don't know!). Although a lacquer note should not be missing also today, but how much more discreetly it is held! I like that well.

What others in Ameer Al Oudh can sense above all in spices remains largely hidden to me and hardly leaves the sphere of fantasy. I still like to nod off cinnamon, something sweet from the direction is there. Instead, I throw something nutty-woody, close to the nutty capacity of some vetiver scents, into the ring for the second hour.

In the afternoon, Ameer Al Oudh continues to play the well-known keyboard, although consistently as "Black Afgano in fine", rather a veil than a cloud. The wood notes are more velvety and more difficult - despite the occasional shimmering artificiality, which in the meantime, however, does without the bite of varnish.

In addition, the oud idea resonates more naturally, so to speak, throughout. And just when I want to check off the fragrance as ready tested, I am suddenly surprised - born of course from this very corner - again by a medical impression, next to which a breeze blows from a far away cowshed (with Mustang69 it is a "stud mark" - wonderful!). It acts like a snap of the fingers at the end.

Even as a quieter clone, Ameer Al Oudh would have a certain justification, just to have to join a long list. But I think he's more than that. It is the essence of the Nasomatto. It would be possible to formulate it in a very malicious and in parts unfair way: Ameer Al Oudh makes use of the best of what had been designed in Black Afgano groping and searching in coarse and sometimes for the scent character more or less redundant brush strokes.

Therefore a test tip for all those who are too keen on Black Afgano.

At the Oudist Beach, Part 6: Arabia Felix
At the very beginning of my perfume time, probably as a free addition to my very first souk order (Souk fits here), a tiny sample "Black Oudh" by Al Haramain came under my nose and knocked me over so much that the fragrance has been on my wish list ever since as a kind of unfulfilled longing. I probably didn't dare to write comments or statements at that time, at least I didn't leave anything in writing. The fact that I have never fulfilled my wish is perhaps also due to a certain fear, whether this powerful scent is not a little too strong for everyday use, for myself and especially for my not necessarily oud-affine surroundings.

If my memory doesn't play tricks on me, which is possible, of course, because the Black Oudh fragrance experience is well over two years ago and because both come from inexpensive Arab suppliers, so you might think they "must" have something in common, then Lattafa's "Ameer Al Oudh" is a fragrance that comes very close to Al-Aramain, but which presents itself somewhat more tamed and well-balanced; a ruler, not a jinni. That he still doesn't like the little nose on my side is another question.

Be it because of my early Oud initiation by "Black Oudh", be it for other reasons, this scent type, Black Oudh in the more uninhibited and this one here in the more controlled version, is for me the true, genuine, authentic, classic Oud perfume type, which I very much appreciate, so to speak the reference type I. I also like the - for the common Central European office person much more suitable for everyday use - type of the fine, urban polished and quite stinkfrei "Berliner Oud", represented by Lehmann's "Oud" and Urban Scents "Singular Oud", but this reference type II is not the topic today
Ameer (that's probably the same word as "emir", isn't it?) starts with a very powerful, but not murderous fanfare of very distinctive woody-oud notes with at least as striking resinous-fresh-balsamic counterpoint. He has a golden glow and is very classic, powerful but tidy and not violent. Despite its clarity and strength, the oud note is not excessively pungent. That is one of the main points of contention here with the pre-reviews; I take the side of those who perceive little animalism, I would say two to three on the cowshed scale ranging from zero to ten. And at all, if animalistic, then with a royal scent of course bird of prey crap and not cowshed. Special in this phase, but basically to the end for me a very masculine fragrance, my imagination hardly reaches so far to introduce it to me "with success" to a lady or young woman. But who knows, my imagination is not the measure of all things.

As the wine progresses, the balsamic-fresh notes recede somewhat, while the strong, woody, ovoid basic tone continues, and then partially take their place with moderately honey-sweet and spicy notes, sometimes even with a kind of fruity touch. But the fragrance never gets cuddly sweet or even sticky (that's another point of contention here among my esteemed colleagues; I'm clearly positioning myself on the no-sugar alarm page) and, above all, never gets out of hand, but keeps its firm center.

For me a thoroughly likeable oud, whose "ruling" name attribute I understand in the sense of the medieval princely mirrors, for which there were certainly equivalents in the Arab-Islamic cultural area as well: This sea radiates power and power, but always maintains control, retains its center, remains straightforward and attracts admiration through its well coordinated virtues.

If it (for the time being, further tests are reserved) remains at "only" 8.5 points (if you want to regard this as a deficit), then it's because this Lattafa initially arouses great pleasure and respect in me, but at the moment still no princely love; the spark doesn't (yet?) jump all over me. Maybe I'm too Republican for that, too.

One word would be enough to describe this fragrance briefly and concisely.
But isn't there more to it? Herb is "Ameer al Oudh" anyway. And also very woody. The oud shimmers here like golden autumn sun in the afternoon.
Cedar wants to capture pleasantly cool, moist haze. Moss, which grows in thick, green cushions on the trunks, has collected glittering water pearls on itself.
Horses cavort in a nearby paddock. One can perceive its slightly "animal" smell finely.
A mixture of todays earthy aromas, probably due to patchouli and vetyver, make this impression softly present in the course of the fragrance.
A "distant rose" also seems to be present, subtle, barely perceptible, but without it the fragrance would be missing something.
I can imagine exactly, what the landscape looks like, whose picture is a little bit more than br /> in me.
Very close to where I live, there are so-called dunes with pine, juniper and cedar trees, the "Alte Neckarbett", which is interspersed with sand and houses plants that are otherwise rare in our region. Certain grasses that smell bitter. iridescent green mosses. endure the dryness and adorn themselves with these described "pearls" in the rain before they absorb the water.
The fragrances are very similar to those of "Ameer Al Oudh", just HERBHOLZIG with various mysterious "extras".........

An eastern pleaser - durable and smooth enough for western noses
Whenever you feel like wearing an oriental Oud fragrance, but want it well-behaved and not disturbing your fellow common wearer and lover of citrus and aquatic scents, you may well elect Ameer Al Oudh as one of your favourite fragrances.
As per Lattafa's information, the top notes are agarwood (oud), cinnamon and nutmeg; the middle notes are jasmine and sandalwood; the base notes are musk, vanilla, guaiac wood, amber, and cedar. In this list, I miss a distinct sugary note that smells a bit like burnt sugar. Depicting the smoothness of this lingering scent, this fragrance's main oud note is Oudh from Cambodia which yields earthy and woody smoky notes.
In the opening, you get a softened Cambodian oud and the distinct vibe of burnt sugar. There is no barnyard or medicinal vibe present. This accord will stay alive for the entire longevity of the fragrance. The heart notes serve mainly the purpose of building a bridge for the base notes blending, where the scent becomes sweeter and smoother. The drydown is very pleasant with the strong different woods softened by the sweetness of vanilla and smoothed by a comfortable amber.
The performance is quite high and you are bound to have up to 10 hours of longevity and a sillage of more than six feet at its peak.

My rates for Ameer Al Oudh go as follows:
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Scent Opening: 8.5 (smooth oud with a burnt sugar vibe)
Scent Dry Down: 9.0 (the oud becomes even smoother with resins and with a bit of vanilla sweetness)
Longevity: 9.0 (2 sprays may last for more than 10 hours with 2 sprays; Half of the longevity will be good only as a skin scent)
Sillage: 8.0 (up to 6 feet at its peak with 2 sprays; The projection is fair for about 1.5 hours)
Uniqueness: 8.0 (unique for a Cambodian Oud fragrance that is very wearable and not offensive; It has a common vibe with Raghba although less sweet; I heard different comments about its similarity with Stercus or Black Afgano Extrait de Parfum... yeah! but just a bit.)
Wearability: 7.0 (mainly cold weather and a night scent; you may use it either outdoors or indoors)
Versatility: 7.0 (yes to enjoy it on your own, clubbing, socializing, events, restaurants, dates, romancing, intimacy, weddings,... not good for the office, informal meetings, small spaces, work out, beach and places where you may sweat)
Compliments: 8.0 (with an increasing number of people enjoying oriental woody sweet fragrances, I do think that this fragrance will please a wide range of people of both genders; the number of compliments I received exceeded my expectations)
Quality: 8.0 (slightly above average quality, good performance, nice heavy flask, good sprayer)
Presentation: 7.5 (neat presentation for an Arab fragrance; simple and effective)
Price: 10.0 (100 ml non-tester for 12,5 £ + shipping)
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Overall rating: 8.15/10.00
- between 7 and 8 =above average;
- between 8 and 9 = recommended;
- bigger than 9 = don't miss it;
Advice: Try before you buy if you are not familiar with oud-oriental perfumes. However, with Ameer Al Oudh you will not smell like a barnyard which is so often the case with strong Arabic oud fragrances.
I recommend this fragrance; it's a dusky (how can I say light dark?), resinous, oudy, woody, sweet fragrance with a bit of smokiness and that may please not only oriental fragrances lovers, both women and men and particularly in the pleasant drydown.
Should you pick Raghba or Ameer Al Oudh: If you like Raghba but prefer a less sweet fragrance, Ameer Al Oudh is a good choice.

Is it Christmas time already?
I was surprised when I just read the price for the fragrance. But for such an inexpensive perfume you get the full load here and even get the whole day. Also the silage is really strong, so I would never wear the perfume as an office scent. I would rather assign the scent of cinnamon and marzipan to autumn or winter time. In the beginning there is also something cheesy and woody and an earthy smell. Apart from the fact that Ameer al Oudh slowly fades during the day, I couldn't notice any scent development, which is probably no surprise for the price. I wouldn't necessarily classify it as an oudh perfume, as cinnamon is the main focus here and everything else is probably just by-catch.
