Lattafa Badee Al Oud Sublime Eau de Parfum Spray for Unisex, 3.4 Ounce

UPDATE:**summary of this very long review - both perfumes smell the same to my NOSE, but the experience they evoke is DIFFERENT somehow. Different vibes,Sublime being more rich, decadent and cozy, and Eden Apple being more straightforward and playful**Update to my previous review (see below) - in my HUMBLE opinion, this Badee Al Oud Sublime is BETTER than Eden Juicy Apple (Kayali). As you can see from my photo, I could not help myself... I ordered the Kayali Juicy Apple as well! I actually am fairly certain I ordered it first... Bath and Body Works Winter Candy Apple is one of my favorite fragrances of all time, so I was pretty confident I would like both (despite some reviews that ended up not resonating with me from youtube, you can see my original review).. and I do like both, I love both. Very very similar to winter candy apple, and both excellent... but will not be KEEPING both as I initially intended... anywho, here are my UPDATED notes on the comparison:SCENT:They are not identical, but they are very very close. Someone with a trained nose may notice more difference than myself, I am not an expert and I am not someone who can pick up notes too well. They both smell like apple, haha. Anywho, the Lattafa just smells more... RICH... to me? Rich, like thick, juicy, and a bit more complex. Don't get me wrong, they both smell like apple. Both smell like apple shampoo to me... I'd almost say the Lattafa is a bit MORE shampoo vibes but... I'm not sure, please take everything I'm saying as very novice opinions. After drying down I would almost say the opposite. What I can say, besides them being probably 90% similar to one another... something about the Badee Al Oud Sublime is just BETTER to me.. slightly better, they're very similar, but better. It just reminds me of like, a dark red juicy apple versus the Kayali reminds me of like a baby apple. That's really the best way I can describe it. I would also say that the Lattafa reminds me more of Winter Candy Apple by BBW than the Kayali does. They both smell wonderful, truly. And if you like one you would like the other. My preference is just the Badee Al Oud Sublime, personally.LONGEVITY:The Lattafa Badee Al Oud Sublime has much better longevity on my skin. The Kayla Eden Juicy Apple unfortunately disappears almost immediately. Of course, I've seen others mention this in reviews of that perfume, but for some reason I thought they were exaggerating. They are not exaggerating. Eden Apple becomes nonexistent on my skin after ~30 minutes... which is really disappointing... but not that disappointing in the sense that the Lattafa version exists, and I prefer it anyways. Though in my initial review I mentioned that I felt it was on the weaker side of a Lattafa fragrance, which I do maintain, it is MUCH, MUCH better than Kayali in that department. It's only been maybe 1.5 hrs at the time I am writing this? I can BARELY, just BARELY smell the Juicy Apple on my right arm... like it is there, a little tiny bit, if my nose is literally touching my skin. I imagine in another hour it will not be detectable at all. Whereas Sublime on the other hand (other arm, haha)... I can still smell it PRETTY well, it's as strong as it was after it dried to my skin. Which again, it's not blasting like some other Lattafa fragrances I own, but it is certainly satisfactory. I will still be doing a heavy spray with this/that would still be my recommendation. Please note my skin is not moisturized, I am sure the longevity of both can be improved with vaseline and such. Anywho, my point simply being, the longevity of Badee Al Oud Sublime is much better than Kayali Eden Juicy Apple on MY skin.PROJECTION:Can't speak too much on projection, I can just say that I imagine both of these are more of skin fragrances versus scent bubble perfumes. I could be wrong though, I've not worn them out in public. That is just my impression given that I can't smell the perfume SUPER intensely on myself, though I can smell it. Please note I've gone one perfume on each arm, so I can't say specifically which it is I am smelling, but I can make an educated guess that it is the Lattafa seeing as that perfume is just much stronger.All and all, if you are considering which to buy, I totally recommend Badee Al Oud Sublime by Lattafa!! They are both wonderful, and very very similar, but I think the Lattafa is just slightly more complex, and certainly more powerful overall. Let me put it this way, I am a designer girlie. If I liked both equitably well, I would probably stick with the Kayali Juicy Apple just because it makes me feel "cool" (haha)/I just would like having the bottle in my collection. However, that isn't the case. I do enjoy the Eden Juicy Apple but unfortunately, I will be returning it. I hate to do that, but the total lack of projection/absolutely zero longevity leaves me unable to justify even owning it. If the Kayali lasted on my skin at all, I would simply keep both. Juicy Apple just really, truly doe

I bought this as a blind buy after I bought a different Lattafa fragrance that is gourmand because I wanted to see if they did a fruity, floral one well. I definitely have enjoyed this one and it is exactly that: fruity, fresh, candy, sweet, with a very subtle floral vibe. It isn't a very complex fragrance, which is understandable at this price point, but for an every day perfume in spring and summer, I think this works really well. It gives me Escada or Donna Born in Roma vibes. I smell tart apple, lychee, and moss the most. The initial spray is all sharp fruits. The dry down reveals more of the candy edge and the fresh green moss for me. Longevity is not as good as my other Lattafa fragrance, so I do overspray on it. I've never smelled Eden Juicy Apple which is supposed to be inspo for this, but if you want an apple, fruity, candy smell, this is a great option. I personally do not get rose or plum, but a slight jasmine and a very, very, slight vanilla in the dry-down. I would re-purchase this one.

I love perfumes, and have been rebuilding my collection. This was totally a blind buy for me but I'm so glad I didn't hesitate to make the purchase. According to YouTube videos, this is a dupe for Kayali's Eden Juicy Apple. I went to Sephora to smell juicy apple and fell in love with it. However, I didn't love the price tag, so I went on a search for a good dupe. Lo and behold there were tons of videos on YouTube saying this was an amazing dupe for it. I decided to take a chance and bought it seeing how Sublime is very affordable as well. I'm very happy to say that this perfume did NOT disappoint! It's a middle eastern perfume, with a higher oil concentrate than the high end perfumes, so you have to spray it a few times, then allow it to macerate.Now I have to admit, I purchased a travel size of the Kayali perfume because I just had to have it. Because I own Juicy Apple, I was able to compare the two perfumes. Let me tell you! To my nose, Sublime is a spot on dupe. You just don't understand how happy I was to discover that I now own the perfume I've been wanting for so long. Whenever I wear it, I can't stop smelling myself. I give this perfume a 10 out of 10. The sillage, the projection, and lasting power is A+ for me. It's also very affordable.The packaging is so beautiful to me. It looks and feels like an expensive perfume. The bottle is so hefty, I can't believe how affordable it is. It's an offical Lattafa perfume because it has the sticker on the box.Definitely one of those perfumes that I'd repurchase when the time comes. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.If you're looking for a Juicy Apple dupe, then this is the one!P.S. I love Juicy Apple so much, I'm planning to purchase the real one soon ?
