Lattafa Badee Al Oud Honor & Glory

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on pineapple and creme brulee, moves through cinnamon, turmeric and black pepper, and settles on vanilla, sandalwood and cashmeran.

• pineapple: sharp tropical sweetness with a slightly boozy edge
• cinnamon: hot sweet baking spice

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
