Not a dupe!
Bade'e Al Oud Sublime starts out very fruity and sweet with a decidedly red apple, plum and a lychee note that is leaning heavily towards berry territory. The texture of the fruit notes is transparent and refreshing, reminiscent of a really nice shampoo. I smell patchouli in the background, but this is not the typical fruitchouli type of scent. The vanilla is quite noticeable and warms up the scent. The third base nose is moss, but I think there is something more to this. Something woodsy and leathery that really elevates all the sweet and girly notes and gives depth to the scent. I don't know if it's supposed to be oud like the name of the scent would suggest, it's not as sharp as most ouds are, but there is definitely something more to this than just the fruity body spray vibes, an interesting contrast, a more middle eastern vibe.
It's quite fitting for the darker red and gold of the packaging.
I'm puzzled why this gets touted as a dupe for Kayali Eden Juicy Apple 01 all the time. Yes, the top notes are similar, but the base is completely different, and it already peeks through after a few minutes. Where Eden Juicy Apple stays shampoo-like and clean, Sublime becomes darker, warmer and heavier over time. Even though I'm a Kayali fan in general, I like Lattafa's interpretation much better.
This is one of those fruity scents that work year round and not just in summer. It's fresh enough for warm weather, but substantial enough for the cold. Very nice, provided you like fruity with a little twist. I do. And the price is right, too.
