The lemon is sometimes way to much
The exact smell of dunking Gentilini Oswego biscuits into a glass of milk. Very buttery. Cozy. This eau de parfum has a definite weight to it. Warm and enveloping and cocooning. No fuss no high concept but does wonderfully what is supposed to do. Lingers on skin. Very edible but you have to have a taste for butter and all things dairy and sweet.
Regarding sweetness to my nose it manages to smell distinctly sweet without veering into saccharine and cloying territory. It’s sweet more like a shortbread than like a frosted cupcake.
The name "Another Oud" is not quite right for this fragrance; this cat could indeed be that other oud. And despite the fact that the scent is far from being only about oud, it serves as the structural base onto which other aspects are strung: spice, notes of menthol, cinnamon, praline, rose, heliotrope, amber, benzoin. It brings together seemingly incompatible, disparate scents.
Although the fragrance is very distinctive, unconventional, and may not appeal to everyone, I would recommend it to those who want to fall in love with the note of oud in perfumery; here it is very soft, enveloping, like thick jam slowly sliding down the walls of a jar.
A shine
I love so much the smell it’s just like I love love from moschino it’s sad that doesn’t last much longer
Delightful perfume, strong and with that sweet touch at the end gives it the finishing touch.
Mathew at Lost Tribe took the original Vanilla Waves and did the thing every vanilla-adjacent scent should aspire to but rarely pulls off: they made it dirty.
The deer musk grains aren't a garnish here — they're doing real work, dragging that vanilla out of the gourmand dessert territory and into skin-and-sheets territory. This isn't gourmand vanilla, it's animalic vanilla, and the difference matters.
If v1 was vanilla as comfort, v2 is vanilla as intent. This is a scent that's doing something to the people around you, not just smelling nice in a vacuum.
Lost Tribe continues to be one of the few indie houses willing to lean all the way into animalic territory instead of hinting at it. Respect for that.
Cardamom, coriander, pepper, ginger, vetiver… it sounds spicy and tart. I was sure that there was juniper and pine here because every time I use the fragrance, I catch the mood of a seaside resort where pines grow along the coast. And there you are riding a moped, inhaling the humid sea air mixed with the sweet-fresh scent of these pines, occasionally passing through thickets of juniper dried by the southern sun, and from somewhere in the distance, the scent of white flowers wafts in.
I am so glad that a few years ago I acquired a hundred milliliters of this creation. For me, it is the most interesting of gardens. And overall, it is a very unusual and original perfume.
An underrated perfume, in my opinion.
It starts with the scent of crispy bakery bread, very realistic, although it doesn't last long and then transforms into a bright violet, with its powdery sweetness and moist greenery. Moreover, this sweetness and freshness keeps increasing. And then you find yourself enveloped in the scent of overt cosmetic powder, but not the heavy, cloying kind, rather delicate and caring. There is also an earthiness from the iris in the background, which prevents the composition from becoming overly sweet.
The violet note here reminds me of the violet in Choco Violet by Mancera.
At first, I thought the fragrance was not long-lasting, but I was mistaken, as I bought it in winter; it loves the spring's warmer temperatures, and then I catch its sillage throughout the day.
The fragrance does not reveal any unpleasant surprises in any weather conditions. For me, it is universal.
The crust of Christmas panettone, soaked in a liqueur that has a slightly coniferous shade. After a couple of hours, this coniferous note becomes lighter, fresh ozonic notes are added, while the vanilla crust of the panettone with candied fruits and soaked in liqueur remains unchanged. The vanilla here is in the form of vanillin. There is a lot of powderiness. Benzoin and praline are very delicate and give a rather light candy sound. At some point, a white floral component begins to emerge.
The fragrance is clearly gourmand, but there is no desire to eat it, precisely because, in addition to the sweet-bready part, there is also a coniferous-fresh-powdery side.
It is not intrusive, it sits like a cocoon, not suffocating.
It has been noted that if it gets on the hair, after about 5 hours, there is a light smoky aura from the hair.
P.S. After six months, I managed to get acquainted with Panettone, and now it is clear what inspired Lattafa; they were indeed inspired, not just copied, but the direction is obvious.
I came across it completely by chance when I exchanged another perfume about 7-8 years ago, and it was already discontinued at that time. No one in my circle used it, and the scent passed me by, but it captivated me immediately.
And this is the second perfume in which I like how the pear sounds. And the almond here unfolds in such an extraordinary way... you can feel the nuttiness, but it's not powdery, not sweet, not liqueur-like, not bitter, not cyanide-like, but rather like a raw nut that has been cracked open, and this is the scent of the pit and its flesh, nothing like modern almond fragrances.
There is also a honeyed quality and an herbal aromatic scent of wormwood, which is supported by bitter orange and ginger.
Overall, it is very interesting, unusual, stylish, a niche in luxury, in my opinion, ahead of its time.
The technical characteristics are superb, longevity, development, sillage, but at the same time, it is elegant.
Very good perfume!
What I can criticize about it is its projection and longevity, which are too weak for me given the price of the perfume, even though we must not forget that it is a citrus fragrance...
Upon opening, one can smell an almost tangy mango. This tangy facet disappears over time to give a rather sweet perfume. It is not particularly sweet; I find it very well made.
Special mention to the beautiful bottle!
It bears its name very well. It is a lavender with slightly metallic facets.
For me, it is overrated because I can practically only smell essential lavender oil...
Excellent value for money!
It is fresh and sparkling, you can really smell the ginger and slightly the vanilla behind it.
It is a citrus fragrance but it lasts very well (~8h) and projects well.
I find this a very apt rendition of the Japanese concept of oboro, which means "hazy," "cloudy," or "dim." This is basically a less earthy/woody and more fresh version of Diptyque’s Kyoto--almost like a hybrid with Eau de Lierre, now that I think about it. A very nice floral rain scent (not petrichor, the after-the-rain, but the rain as it's falling), melancholic and naturalistic, like a faintly recalled memory. Rather than taking you to a place (a wet garden), it shows you an ink painting of it, minimalist and moody.
Your Turn by Billie Eilish SylvamberTM gives a light amber note while a warmCardamom nests with a fantastic Musk.

A basic, boring vanilla. Not a fan.
First perfume in a long time I've had to scrub.
To me this smelled like a cheap cherry and cloying white floral bathroom gel air freshener you'd get in a pound shop.
In my opinion this settles to smell very similar to the OG after a while, albeit with a needed performance improvement, but the opening with the addition of the cacao is absolutely beautiful.
I picked up this, Sam, and Rose from Penhaligon's site for £5.50 posted. Just search sample and see what's there, you can add 3 to basket!
The bones of Sam are there but this one much richer and grown up.
The leather is stunning, paired with that usual spicy tobacco, but now topped with a boozy sweet plum liquor.
The boozy plum reminds me of the fig in Gris Charnel Extrait. Ripe and syrupy to the point of a little boozy.
A potent and decadent perfume, but as with Rose Intense, there's no need for the price, how ever if I didn't have OG, I'd consider it as I can get it for a reasonable price from perfume groups I'm in.
Always loved the original.
This is a beautiful focused rose scent. Every time you pick a facet of the rose, be that bud, or leaf, you're greeted with the smooth warmth of amber and vanilla. It's a lovely juxtaposition of fresh, green, floral, and warmth.
There's a woody base thats rich and aromatic, almost like an oud.
Price is absolutely unnecessary though
Loved it but it was to old for me
