Bade'e Al Oud Sublime - Tropical, Fruity, Fresh, Vanilla - Eau de Parfum Long-Lasting Fragrance for Unisex, 3.40 Ounce / 100 ml

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 does not stay on my skin. Honestly, I would almost say that the BBW Winter Candy Apple BODY SPRAY has better staying power than Eden Juicy Apple by Kayali... which is pretty wild! Personally, I will continue to buy the Lattafa version along with the BBW Winter Candy Apple spray! As odd as this sounds, for me this is a winter scent... BBW Winter Candy Apple was my favorite as a child, so I have heavy associations with this scent during the holidays! I know others prefer to wear it for summer, I am trying to picture it as a summer scent (it's difficult for me because of the existing association)... I'm not sure how this would come off on a hot day, I really would say it's more fall or winter, but that is only my personal opinion. Probably even more fall than winter, but I'll be wearing for both! I am truly so stunned by how excellent the Lattafa version is! I was very skeptical especially after hearing some youtubers describe the scent... Like I said in my previous review, I definitely do not get anything "spicy" at all. It's just... more rich, more decadent. More complex. Yet almost identical. I swear, I am getting getting the same smell, but I am just getting different VIBES if that makes sense. That is genuinely the most accurate comment in my review - they smell the same to my nose, but the experience of smelling them is different! Anywho, I'd never be able to notice the difference if I didn't have one on each arm, but MAN... Badee Al Oud Sublime just GETS me in a different way than Eden Juicy Apple. As a final note - I do not forsee this fragrance on a man, but that is just my opinion. What I mean is I don't see it as unisex or masculine in any way, to me it is very feminine. However, if I smelled a gentleman wearing this, I would also be so thrilled... so there's that! I support the use of this fragrance on the opposite gender for sure! ORIGINAL REVIEW: This perfume smells absolutely amazing! Reminds me of winter candy apple by bath and body works. If you like that, or Kayali juicy apple, this is an extremely safe blind buy!! I have not smelled this vs Kayali’s apple side by side, but based off of smelling Kayali’s in the store and this on my skin, I would say there is not a noticeable difference. Whether the difference would be noticeable side by side I don’t know, but in my opinion they’re close enough that it really would not be relevant. I was a little hesitant to order this just because I’d see perfume YouTubers saying that the Lattafa version is slightly less sweet and a little spicier (which I love the sweetness of Kayali’s and the BBW winter candy apple, and do NOT like spice) so I wasn’t sure if it would be a deal breaker. Well, if you are NOT a trained perfumer, you’ve got nothing to worry about. As someone who evaluates perfumes as do I like it/vs do I not like it, this smells great. I cannot notice any difference and I don’t smell whatever spiciness they’re talking about. It also doesn’t strike me as less sweet - if Kayali’s apple is too sweet for you, I’d say this one probably is too. I gave 5 stars because I adore the fragrance. To me it smells like an apple orchard full of big juicy apples… or like a glass of martinelli’s ! I was tempted to reduce a star due to the fragrance not having the best potency. I imagine the projection and sillage on this are relatively low - definitely a perfume to be over sprayed. I’ll probably decant some into a travel bottle for my purse as well. Definitely not a deal breaker, I just wish it were a bit stronger. I sprayed like 6 sprays (3 on each arm) and did NOT rub (rubbing disrupts the molecules) and I can smell it, but very faintly. I can smell it a lot less than you’d expect with 6 sprays of perfume. Anywho, for the price point it’s superb. Just be aware you may want to go a bit heavy on the sprays/reapply. To be clear, it isn’t the WORST projection or strength ever, there are plenty of luxury and niche perfumes that are far worse. It’s just less than I’d typically expect from a Lattafa perfume! I have a bottle of Kayali’s juicy apple on the way - I’d initially decided just to buy the original because of the “experts” (not sure what to call them) claims that this was less sweet and more spicy. Which, as I said, I don’t get that at all. Anywho, my point simply being that when the Kayali fragrance arrives, I will do a side by side comparison and update the review!

Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Sublime is a beautiful, long-lasting fragrance that opens with a refreshing burst of tropical fruit before settling into a warm, creamy vanilla base. The fresh notes are perfectly balanced, making it a versatile scent that feels sophisticated for evening wear but light enough for the day. It has excellent projection and staying power, often lasting the entire day with just a few sprays. A truly elegant and high-quality perfume that feels much more expensive than it is.

I have never left a review on here, but when I tell you I got so many complements of this scent and head turning from the walk by air. .Man o Man.. this is so lovely and amazing and it lasted my entire shift at work... A must buy.....

I can see the similarities between Bade'e Al Oud Sublime and Kayali's Eden Juicy Apple (mainly that they share a tart, soapy, shampoo-like apple accord), but the Kayali is sweeter on my skin where this eau de parfum is darker, more bitter, and earthier (which I prefer). The plum is like bitter prune juice in contrast to Kayali's berry notes, and the moss and patchouli here form a grounding, earthy base that I really enjoy. This is a nostalgic fall fragrance for me. It reminds me of racing around my neighbors' small crabapple orchard as a child. My cousins and I would kick up earth and dead leaves under the trees and sneakily eat the little, tart apples before the neighbors realized that we were out there and kicked us out. I just wish that a less soapy apple had been used and then this would be perfectly atmospheric. Still, this is a cool, dark, earthy leaning apple scent, not a warm or spicy apple pie. Sillage and longevity are strong, as they are with every Lattafa fragrance I own, and the bottle quality is outstanding. Opening the lovely red box that this comes in, I instantly smell apples, and the bottle itself is heavy and beautiful. The cap is also so heavy that it surprised me and I almost dropped it the first time that I opened the bottle. Lattafa makes long lasting, quality fragrances for such a low price point. I recommend them highly.

This is a beautiful fragrance! Smells like a mature red apple type of perfume. Lasts for hours, sticks to skin and clothes very well. Opens up with red apple and dries down to a musky fruit mix!

Smells so good

This perfume smell so good fruity and sweet and also a bit of wood notes loved it Huele muy rico frutoso y a la ves dulce y maderado

First of all, don't listen to the people saying it doesn't last. They're expecting to be able to smell it on them all day when most people get used to the scent and stop perceiving it within like ten minutes. Those people are never happy, no scent will ever last long enough for them. Lattafa is one of the longest lasting brands out there. Arab fragrances in general. If this doesn't do it for you as far as longevity goes literally nothing will. This is incredibly strong. I sprayed it on my pillow, went upstairs for my everything shower and came back downstairs maybe a few hours after that and it was like I was blasted in the face with the scent. Shame I don't like it. It has a strange, rubbery musk type smell. I hear Arab perfumes get that often and they need to macerate, and I remember when I got my Britney Spears perfume I wasn't able to smell almost anything. I let it sit for a while and then bam, turned into my favorite. I'm hoping that's what happens with this, because as of right now all I smell is that strange, off putting rubbery musk. If I remember, I'll come back to update. Until then, 3/5. Edit: like a year later and nope, still smells terrible imo. Maybe I just got a bad bottle.

Ho diversi profumi di questo marchio e mi sono piaciuti sempre, ma questo li batte davvero tutti! Le note che ha sono deliziose e si fondono meravigliosamente - adoro specialmente pera, licheese e rosa. Un gurmond delicato, ma persistente, dolce ma non stucchevole. La durata è buona (5/6 ore almeno), confezione impeccabile come tutti i lattafa, rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo

Sublime by Lattafa: A Soft, Feminine & Elegant Scent! If you love light, classy, and effortlessly beautiful fragrances, Sublime by Lattafa is a must-have! This perfume blends floral, fruity, and musky notes, making it perfect for those who prefer a sophisticated yet delicate scent. Top Notes: Juicy pear and fresh citrus for a bright opening Heart Notes: Soft white florals and a hint of sweetness Base Notes: Creamy musk and warm woods for a subtle, lingering finish Sublime is perfect for everyday wear, giving off an aura of grace and charm. While it’s a beautiful scent, it may not be the most long-lasting, so layering or reapplying might be needed.

This is definitely the exact copy of the Kayali eden apple 🍎 and i am in love with this one. Gladly found an original one ❤️

Perfeito, que delícia de perfume, quero ficar com esse cheiro 24h por dia, doce sem ser irritante, é muito bom, e fica na pele na roupa, loja sensacional.

Smells lovely!
