Extra Dry and Top Base for Layering
First of all, it's simply incredible what Lattafa delivers for this price.
Oud for Glory is a very good perfume for me.
In my opinion, it comes off dust-dry from the very first moment.
I can hardly make anything out of the fragrance pyramid mentioned above.
Bergamot - I don't know!
Pink pepper - yes, probably that's what gives it the slight, bright sharpness that I perceive from the very first moment, and which fits well with the oud accord.
I consciously write accord, because let's be honest, who believes that there is even a hint of real oud in this very inexpensive perfume, should explain to me how that is supposed to work. I'm looking forward to it.
Black currant? Fine by me - if at all, but so well and subtly integrated into the other ingredients that there can be no talk of fruitiness.
As I said, for me OfG is dust-dry, I am convinced that a significant amount of saffron is at play, which is also confirmed on some other perfume sites.
By the way, I find saffron, contrary to many statements here on Parfumo, absolutely not sweet, but dry, earthy, and warm.
Also nutmeg, which is listed for this perfume on other sites.
The progression seems quite linear to me, which doesn't necessarily have to be a disadvantage. If I like the scent 30 seconds after spraying it on, then I still like it after 3 hours, especially when it smells almost the same as at the beginning.
A few more sentences on the topic of layering:
I find that Oud for Glory is excellent for layering due to its dryness and linearity. Especially when combined with very sweet fragrances, like the often suggested Baccarat Rouge 540.
Oud for Glory saved me from giving away SL Chergui shortly after purchasing it (my first niche fragrance ever) because I could hardly stand its sultry sweetness. With OfG underneath, it fits much better for me.
It's also interesting that in all the layering suggestions, there is not a single contradiction. For me, this confirms that this linear dry base tone integrates ideally into other fragrances.
Lastly, a statement about the bottle:
Very beautiful and high-quality looking, heavy as a stone, it gives no clues to the almost outrageously low price.
All in all, very worthwhile and certainly not a blind buy, because it's just too specific and not trimmed to please at all costs.
