* Fragrant fruit, floral and spice fragrance
* Good blend of sweet, fruit, spicy, floral, musk and woody incense aromas
* Not as over the top fruity as other Lattafa fragrances (ex: Bade'e Al Oud Sublime)
* Works well for men even with the presence of white florals
* Great for social occasions
* Unisex
* Good performance
* Great price
* Um, there is no actual oud note in Oud Lail Maleki O_o
* Bottle presentation conveys a completely different type of fragrance
* May lean too masculine for some female users thanks to the woody incense notes
* Lots of competition in both the fruit and floral fragrance market
Lattafa's Oud Lail Maleki is a very nice hybrid fruit, floral and spicy fragrance. It combines sweet, fruit, spicy, floral, musk and woody incense aromas into a clean and cohesive whole. What it doesn't have, however, is an actual, you know, oud note! I mean, it's right there in the name, you'd expect there to be an oud note of some kind. The masculine bottle presentation with the cool Arabian horse avatar and the deep brown color would certainly also lead you to expect it. Nope. Not a whiff of oud to be found.
It's still pretty darn good and very well blended. It's totally unisex. You'd think the combination of both fruit and florals along with sweetness would make this lean very feminine, but it's extremely well balanced and a man can certainly rock this. If anything, some women may find it leans too masculine due to the woody incense. This should appeal to both sexes, though. Performance is good and it comes at a great price. It will need that advantage to appeal to buyers as it faces a lot of competition in both the fruit and floral fragrance markets. Recommended.
