The War Of The Roses
The Wars of the Roses were a series of bloody civil wars for the throne of England between two competing royal families: the House of York and the House of Lancaster, both members of the age-old royal Plantagenet family. Waged between 1455 and 1485, the Wars of the Roses earned its flowery name because the white rose was the badge of the Yorks, and the red rose was the badge of the Lancastrians.
I have given this title to the review even if, in reality, with Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst, it is more The Marriage of the Roses between the Turkish and the Bulgarian families. I am a big fan of roses, whether single or mixed with spices, leaves, mosses, woods or foods. All these combinations offer a different and unique interpretation of this flower. And while roses are the most prominent and dominant note, Amethyst is not a rose-centric scent. However, the two rose qualities go so well together. Amethyst is a lilac variety of quartz and is the beautiful colour chosen for the bottle.

Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst has a salty and amber scent with touches of flower petals and vanilla. A forked rose that exhibits both dewy and jelly-like appearances. Modern, ambiguous, and salty, a perfume unheard-of and intoxicating. From the first notes, I perceive a nocturnal white jasmine-based bloom with a cascade of amber. An avalanche of pink pepper mixed with floral notes with a fresh citrus undertone. Overall, I feel something warm, sweet-floral, with a tenacious smell of fruity jasmine. Something with an elegant and transparent floral note of jasmine with a medicine-like vibe. However, it is no longer heavy, solid and intoxicating as the indolic and narcotic jasmine. It's smooth, calming, and relaxing. For an instant, I seemed to catch that mothballed aspect typical of the rose-saffron blend, but it was like a flash, instantaneous, almost imperceptible. Very close to the skin, I pick a barnyard oud nuance, which does not dominate or shatter the concoction but enforces its Oriental character.

When the perfume loses some of its initial arrogance, I perceive roses intertwined with precious amber in the foreground. The roses' aroma is intoxicating, but not in the wrong way. Jasmine lingers in the background, with a somewhat musky and tea undertone, while the two qualities of rose used here give it both a dewy and gelatinous facet. Turkish Rose brings a subtle velvety honey sweetness with its red petals, while darker Bulgarian Rose adds spicy edges with a lemony and leafy undertone. For Amethyst, the nose opted for the rose-amber combination, which gives a slightly salty & rosy aspect to the fragrance and maintains a trend toward the masculine. It's a pleasant combination of roses, petals and buds, jammy, sweet and candy, not saccharine, gourmand, or too feminine.

The dry-down is where the saltiness of the amber gives the best. Vanilla is there to sweeten the roses, but I don't get a gourmand slant. Likewise, oud is there to darken the roses, but I don't get a big blast. The oud note always remains contained, almost sedated, never too harsh or raunchy. The oud doesn't come through until dry down and is more of a supporting note. Instead, amber, or better ambroxan, dominates the final stage with its somewhat woody nuance akin to cedar, salty and animalic like the ambergris.

If you have experience with the roses of Montale, Mancera, and Tom Ford, then Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst is a fragrance apart. Miserably, it does not have an excellent projection, sillage, and longevity, at least on my skin. Quite a few sprays on the pulse points and clothes for roughly half a day. This isn't the first time my experience has come across as below average, particularly with Lattafa perfumes. But it doesn't matter because the quality is good, and the low price allows me to repeat the application at will. I can't see this as offensive to anyone, especially if you spray lightly. Ideal if I want to put it to go to the office or any other closed place in contact with people. Also suitable for an evening event. It would also be a pleasant scent for cold seasons, maybe annoying on hotter summer days.

I'm basing my experience and review on a bottle I've owned since January 2023.

-Elysium

P.S. Regarding performance, I have to retract my assessments. I sprayed the perfume a dozen times and went out to run some errands. After more than three hours, I went to see a friend with a cold. To my amazement, she told me, "What an extraordinary perfume you have, I can smell it even before you enter the house! And to think that I'm also cold." So, it definitely needs to be solved with my sense of smell getting used to the fragrance too soon.

A rose in black velvet gloves and a rubber mask
Lattafa is a brand I always find myself weirdly impressed by. The prices are cheap, the bottles often bear a suspicious resemblance to other, pricier, brands (like the entire Bade'e Al Oud collection being a reference to Initio), they flood grey-market sites and discounters in torrents. And yet the designs are creative, the bottles feel heavy and well-made, and most importantly... the scents are nice.

Have I smelled real oud before? No. Is there real oud in this bottle? For the thirty bucks I paid for it, assuredly not. Does it smell good anyway? Yes.

There is definitely a rubbery smell to this, but I wouldn't call it burnt rubber. More like new tires. Honestly, I kind of dig it, in the same way I like the smell of gasoline or the taste of Pinotage. The rose is dark and jammy, lurking around the corner like it's embarrassed of being a rose. At some point I'll stop being surprised by how much I like these perfumes.

Juicy candy rose on top of oud
Bade’e Al Oud Amethyst by Lattafa is a sweet juicy and candied rose perfume where the oud in the background shortly becomes the center of the show. It resembles other perfumes with similar note structure. If you are interested into hearing more details about this perfume, please watch my review on Youtube.

Spicy Sexy Vibe
I just got this blind and the first time I sprayed it I was like hell no I would use this. The opening is synthetic and it can disturb your nose and others. Let it dry and see how beautiful is it.

I would stay far away from this if you don't like strong sweet, rose, floral perfumes. I thought it would be similar to Toy Boy vibe but it's more strong with amber/Oud scent.

Not blind buy safe, sample it first.

Vibrantly ashy rose
The neighborhood where I live in Nairobi is roughly 50% Muslim, 50% Christian, so I see my fair share of ladies wearing everything from the hijab and a relaxed niqab to the full-on burqa. They all seem to be wearing either Yara or Amethyst, billowing regally from beneath their voluminous folds. I was at a drag race rally (not sure if this is the right name for it) around Eid-al-Fitr in April, which I enjoyed intensely not because of the car racing but more for the deeply exotic scents mingling in the warm air – the hot rubber and asphalt from the screeching tires, the spicy, cuminy sweat of unwashed men’s shirts, and the intensely jammy rose and jasmine loudness of the combined perfumes steaming in thick roils off my niqabi ladies.

Amethyst captures everything of this event – the smoky, rubbery petrol fumes, the rich roses, the Turkish delight rosewater flavour, the Arabian jasmine – and even if it does immediately smell a little synthetic, it smells so fabulously out there and regal that you can’t help you be wowed. The thing that makes me pause – and the reason I haven’t bought a bottle yet – is that the drydown is a little sour and ashy, like me after a night in the pub. Still thinking about it, though.

Dark, strong, playful and unisex. Exactly what I love. Purple and deep red roses with leathery-like oud. NEEDS to macerate some months.

Not a good clone for Atomic Rose from initio. My bottle’s opening smell like electric fire. Dry down is ok. Overall too off from it concept.
