With the heart notes I get a faint animalistic nuance and some spices -residual pepper and emerging vanilla probably, thus originating a light sweet touch. Besides the woody accords, herbs are also detectable in the heart stage. In the base, the more vibrant cashemearan woody scent is overcome by the stronger oud note.

I have been avoiding Arabian Oud scents, since I am from the middle east and it smells like every mosque ever. But one day, I wanted to get something that had Oud in it and thought Lattafa will be a good way to start since they’re affordable, right? I got this a week ago, and let me tell you I can’t stop wearing it ever since! I don’t if it’s bec it’s winter, or am I really starting to like middle eastern scents and it’s my new thing maybe, but this is really amazing and worth the try!And so on second spraying - 1 cautious spray - in the evening, and the perfume is no longer screechy. I cam smell the white florals. I woke this morning, and the white florals had settled, and I could smell a lovely almost soft vanilla, and a lovely white musk. I have doused myself in it following a shower, and 1 hour later it is starting to soften. As this perfume was meant for my husband, we tried on his skin as well. I think it's not a man's scent. I get completely different notes than what's listed albeit similar to some folks further down below. Musk Mood is a clean and soapy aldehyde-musky scent. The muskiness is dual, which means it shows the two facets of musk — the soft, powdery, and creamy side in the opening and the animalistic, damp, and deer moss side in the dry-down. The scent opens with an explosion of sparkling aldehydes, with a synthetic, slightly fruity, and soapy accord. I don’t get any hairspray vibe, but somewhat floral. It is an authentic perfume based on white musk. The aldehydes are pungent and floral, with a subtlety of the lily of the valley. Instead, there is already a dry white musk, shimmering, smoothed by that “feeling of cleanliness,” a sort of Muscone or, better still, Helvetolide, more rounded and flowery. Delicate, powdery, and smooth, it spreads tender freshness and harmony and shows the fundamental mood of the perfume. The top note spreads citrus, clean and fruity notes without overpowering.

It starts to soften and you’re left with Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition ! To my nose. I have been wearing SAS for many years, so I’m well aware of the scent. However, where SAS Is more vanilla, this is more saffron and patchouli. Great stuff. This is pretty much the classic Middle Eastern oud fragrance of the type that is very popular these days-- a balance of floral, oud, smoke, and spice. It's still oud but not barnyard or overly animalic, oud that announces "I am oud" but not at the top of it's lungs, a very well balanced note. It is sweet, semi-floral (saffron definitely) and a bit spicy from the cinnamon. One of the best inexpensive oud compositions I have come across. Editing to add: My nose just supplied me an interesting bit of information-- I am pretty sure there's hedione in this. No wonder it's so intoxicating! Anyone else agree? A sparkling & smooth white Arabian Musk fragrance with several subtle nuances for the trained nose to discover...or the untrained nose to save into their olfactory memory.After the first 10 seconds (where there is a faint aroma of stale wine), this fragrance is incredible value for your money.

Ultimately, this is an amazing rose oud scent (on the jammy, woody side) for the money, and I highly recommend it for lovers of niche scents.
