How does this compare to the original Bade'e Al Oud (Oud for Glory)?+−
While both share the same line and "beast mode" performance, they are very different scents. Oud for Glory is a woodier, more herbal fragrance, whereas Amethyst is centered entirely around a sweet, jammy rose and vanilla profile.
Is this fragrance suitable for the office?+−
It can be worn to work, but caution is advised with the atomizer. Because the sillage is very strong, one or two sprays are usually sufficient for indoor environments; any more may be distracting to coworkers.
Is Amethyst a feminine or masculine scent?+−
It is classified as unisex. Men who enjoy rose-heavy scents like those found in Middle Eastern perfumery will appreciate the woodiness of the oud, while women typically enjoy the sweet, vanillic dry down.
Does Amethyst smell like blackberries?+−
No. While it shares a name with other "Amethyst" fragrances (like Lalique Amethyst) that focus on dark berries, Lattafa’s version is purely a rose, oud, and vanilla composition with no fruit notes.
