I wouldn't have thought it, and I don't know if I would have made the connection if I didn't know that this fragrance from Lattafa is a tribute to a perfume called "On the Fireplace." Now I know this, and I actually associate the scent with a campfire.
Right after spraying, I thought to myself, "uff, a Oud bomb," but after just 10 minutes, a leathery-woody, incredibly pleasant scent spreads, which could not capture the theme of a campfire any better. I only perceive vanilla very subtly, and that's a good thing, as it has no place in this setting - at my campfires, the only thing grilled are sausages, not marshmallows.
Contrary to the prevailing opinion here, I see the scent as primarily summery. Because campfires are a summer thing for me. Lighting a fire by the lake or river, in the afternoon or evening, that's what I do in summer. In winter, there might be a fire in a fire pit or a "ghetto barrel," but that has nothing to do with a campfire. And that's why I think this perfume fits perfectly in summer, simply because I associate the theme with summer. I don't understand why warm weather should always be countered with fresh scents; instead, summer can also be wonderfully complemented with warm fragrances. After all, perfume is not clothing and cannot cool or warm.
Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud seems quite weak to me in terms of H/S; I only wear it on my arm for testing, but after an hour, it became very close to the skin. Maybe it also makes me "olfactorily blind," I need to test that in company. Update: I had the scent on my arm all night, and I kept perceiving it, even though I didn't sleep directly on it. Really very, very pleasant, a truly cozy scent. It seems that it just makes me olfactorily blind at the beginning and needs to settle first.
Absolutely unisex in my opinion, both men and women must be able to wear it. This is something for adults; on a teenager, it would seem out of place.
The bottle, cap, and sprayer are good, but the bottle could also be half the size for me, as I wear something this specific only rarely.
I think I expressed myself poorly. I don’t actually take sausages directly, but I associate them with a campfire - I only know that marshmallow thing from movies; I don’t grill sweets myself. I do notice a vanilla-gourmand sweetness, but it quickly fades into the background and gives way to a sweet, woody scent.
