You really get a great value for the price here. In my opinion, the scent smells very minty and has the usual Lattafa oud note. I received it as a gift from a colleague because he didn't like it at all. At first, I couldn't really warm up to it either, but that changes over time. Now, it has become one of my favorite fragrances, and I think the described "strong oud" is nonsense. I even find it quite pleasant at times, and others respond well to it too. The longevity and sillage are also pretty good for the price. You just have to spray more, and then you will be noticed. I've been approached about it several times. In summary, top scent.
