Forest, water, earth and sand

The ultramarine blue of the bottle suggests that it might contain something "watery". But not that it also contains something "hot". I suspect saffron, although it is not listed. And it is built close to "the water" and gently accompanies the entire process.
Now there are also "the forest" resinous scents of eaglewood and cedar. Everything has a somehow "sandy" structure, reminiscent of a fine sandy beach. The "earth" is reached via slightly dark amber notes, which have probably also been refined with patchouli.
Now there is also the corresponding "wind", which blows vanilla-like and somewhat peppery-salty over the coastal forest near the seashore. If I were to say that the fragrance is "very oriental", it would not be the whole truth. Because there are also "northern" aromas, similar to those of a tundra landscape. Something like grass, lichen and / or moss can be smelled as a subtle undertone. All in all, a very multifaceted perfume that shimmers in many colors of the rainbow. "Niche" could hardly do better ;-))

Name is program

In fact, the name of Lattafa Blue Oud fits like a glove.
The fragrance begins sharply spicy (pepper) and contrary to the specified top note woody with very short animal note.
Then it lives up to its name and turns into the blue until it ends with soft woods.
Durability and sillage perfect, Blue Oud by Lattafa is strongly perceptible all day.
So dose carefully.
In summary, a very interesting and changeable fragrance that you definitely do not smell on every corner.
For just under 15 euros a price / performance hammer!

Not Bad

Blue Oud by Lattafa comes in a blue felt-lined box. The bottle is blue-colored and would look great in any collection. The cap fits snugly on top of the bottle and has the word Opulent in raised letters at the bottom of the cap.

When sprayed on, I smell citrus notes. After a good while, I detect a very muted floral note and possibly amber. Due to the very cheap price, if there is any oud here, it is definitely synthetic. Personally, I smell no oud.

It seems like Blue Oud would be a good fragrance to wear during the cooler months of the year. Projection was within an arm's length. Longevity was around 7 hours on my skin, becoming a skin scent at the 5 hour mark.

For myself, Blue Oud by Lattafa is more of a "Like" than a "Love" but for the nice cheap price, it is not bad at all.

Fresh As Dawn, Warm As Dusk

If you like non-linear fragrances, this might be for you. It is twofold, starts cool like the morning dawn and ends warm like the evening twilight. Let the scent of your imagination carry you away with this seductive oriental fragrance from Lattafa. Even though I already own the amazing Opulent Oud, I have always been reticent about purchasing Blue Oud. Everything attracted me, except the marine note, which I have appreciated and loved in the past but at this stage of my life it is not among my favourites, and if combined with sweet accords it disturbs me and makes me nauseous. But in the end, I gave in to temptation, given the very low price I found online, around €15, ridiculous for a 100ml edp with meticulous packaging and design, the satin velvet box, the sapphire blue bottle, a decorated cap antique silver colour and a functional spray. And my choice was rewarded. First, there is a reason this perfume, and all those in the same Opulent series, have been baptized with the adjective opulent. Their opening is overpowering, and dense, taking your breath away like a punch in the stomach.

Blue Oud opens straightaway with a medicinal oud, with influences of rugged saffron, something camphorous, mothball-like with a naphthalene tinge, with plenty of pepper and dark sugary nuances. Oud is a pinch leathery, not skanky or barnyard-like. The pyramid notes seem to come out upside down. It exudes a salty, marine hum, not too obnoxious, not too Bvlgari Aqva. It’s an oriental with Western influences, fruity amber rather than opulent, gelatinous rose sweetens the oud. The fruity accord includes green apple, sour, crispy, and sweet. Top notes are well blended and soon lead to the middle stage. At one point, I smelled a fresh, clean, soapy smell in the air. I wondered where this pleasant aroma was coming from, and then as I got closer to my wrist I realized it was perfume. Yes, there are also delicate and soapy features in this sapphire jewel.

Let the oud and spicy aroma calm down and a sweet lavender with creamy touches of cashmeran slowly emerges from the warm skin. Lavender is almost devoid of its slightly balsamic and aromatic side, while its herbaceous side stands out and blends well with the creamy cashmeran, sometimes woodier, sometimes muskier. Some pleasant and noticeable white flowers make the central phase a little indolic, almost as if there were a pinch of night jasmine among the secret notes. There is even a sort of mixed fruit sweetness along with the white jasmin edge, which adds a sort of fruity vibe. At times, I notice waxy and rosy susurrus that I associate with geranium and sage leaves.

Before approaching the drying phase, the perfume takes on a powdery and dewy appearance, which makes me think of iris flowers or violet leaves. These are the first signs that the coumarins are waking up, giving me sweet and slightly herbaceous reflections, with nuances of vanilla but also of straw. An earthy musk makes its way to the bottom, and the oud notes are almost a memory, drowned in a sea of briny amber and sensual musk. The sense of smooth creaminess remains, and cashmeran combines with an equally creamy light wood, sandalwood. The last trail is a smooth sweet oud aroma with plenty of muskiness and ambroxan saltiness.

It seems like Blue Oud is a good fragrance, awesome, underrated, to wear during the cool months of the spring and fall seasons. Too heavy for summer, but good for winter if you want something oudy yet fresh. The projection is within arm’s reach, and I catch it every time I move my hands. Longevity is above average on my skin, becoming a scent on the skin after wearing it almost all day. More suitable for casual and leisure time, offputting for work and coworkers in the first hours. If you wanna check a sugary oud fragrance, without smoky, dirty, rubbery, or skanky influences, you’d better give it a try.

I'm expressing my experience with a bottle I've owned since January 2024.

Beautiful blue aura around...

The first, lets look at this beautiful bottle. Let it to go through our mind and think deeply about color which used to be so rare.
I must mention that I am not spicy-perfumes lover. At least these which cause headaches - and for me its most of these spicy ones.
When I felt it on my arm, I could not stop my nose from feeling this fragnance almost to the bonemarrow. Its so mysterious, masculine (when you are a woman, it will underline your confidence and mysterious look-up. I would say its unisex. These beautiful fragnances are so often called only for men and then there are fragnances like Oud Flora, which are definitely women-only but are called unisex. I think its a pitty. But back to the fragnance.
First feeling is musky. Musk, later mixed with spicy tones, which are more contrast with these soft tones. The later you have it on your skin, it goes to these more maskuline but on the other side also soft, but by another way than at the start. I cant desribe ehat exactly can be felt in there, but in these spicy tones there can be felt vanilla (only a little bit, though).
Ingredients: Cambodian oud, musk, saffron, vanilla, guajak wood, indian oud
As you can see, only beautiful notes are based in there and this is what makes this fragnance so amazing.

Fragnance lasts on my skin even after washing and its nice, because this one is just so good.
Definitely unisex. It doesnt bother ppl around you and it has something really soft, kind of mysterious, maskuline but on the other side very femine part.
My random thoughts from the fragnance: mysterious, elegant, strong scent, excelent for quiet people who dont talk too much, but are strong in their mind and charisma. Anf this is what this blue scent underlines. Your charisma. Try it, you will see. Definity worth it.
