Bade'E Al Oud Sublime

Smelt this at fragrance net today and was so good I had to buy. To me this gives me very autumn vibes and whenever I think of apple I just think of autumn. This def is an all year round scent but something in it makes it smell a bit spicy or woodsy and could just be the vanilla and patchouli. It’s not a strong patchouli or spice scent either but it’s how my nose picks it up. While I do think it’s perfect without layering I can see myself wearing this the most in autumn and winter depending how you layer it even just by itself. I did go ahead and layer it with lattafa khamrah and it smells incredible together. Khamrah already gave slight pie vibes to me just a little bit but the apple really reels in that apple pie vibes. I usually never preferred lattafa but clearly I was smelling the wrong ones because this one is very good. For my fall people off the top of my head I can even see this smelling good with winter candy apple, Clinique cookies and kisses and maybe even ginger biscuit Jo Malone and maybe maybe maybe sweet cinnamon pumpkin bbw but I’ll go test those out for sure. Very great scent I love the vanilla and patchouli note inclusions

I've had this perfume for a year now, but I own so many that I kind of forgot about it. I need to reach for Sublime more often, especially now when warm season's started. It's clean, happy and refreshing perfume, but in a fruity and delicious way. The apple and litchi shine the most and stay throughout the whole wear. I don't get much rose at all (I'm glad). The other notes just sit in the background. Very versatile - great for day time, holiday or gym. Not cloying at all. It's just clean, fruity vibe. Gets compliments easily. Great perfomance if you spray generously and I did not leave it to mature at all. I get whiffs of it 8hrs after application. Greay for layering with other fragrances. Very affordable too. I will definitely repurchase.

I bought Sublime initially because I was interested in a more affordable option than Kayali Eden Sparkling Lychee which I enjoy but think the price point is high for what it is. This IS in fact a good alternative for a great price. Sublime is its own creature as well. There’s a richer plum and amber base to it than Sparkling Lychee. Also, on my skin Sublime lasts longer than Sparkling Lychee. The deeper base makes Sublime more appropriate for fall winter, while the fresh rose middle makes it light enough for early spring. It is sweet to be sure but not cloying or sickening. I don’t enjoy it as much in hot weather but overall I enjoy it and give it a 8/10.

I blind bought this pre macerated with high hopes and it did not disappoint. This exceeded my expectations even. Much less cheap synthetic body mist apple and more deep woody, earthy fruitiness - I can see why people imagine a rotting apple but I love woody fruity florals to the core. This is a real compliment getter, exactly what I’d expect from the notes. So sensual and comforting for me, perfect for the rainy autumn days/nights. Lifts up the spirits. Projection and longevity is moderate unless oversprayed - and for the price, I’m happywith its performance so no complaints. my husband enjoys it too so bonus points!!

It opens a little sharply to my nose, but this could be owing to the fact that it's a body spray. Almost vinegary, the apple (I've heard from novice perfumers that sometimes acetates give off almost a vinegar smell to some people) isn't smooth out of the gate. Thankfully it chills out quickly, and while it's still more of a green apple than a red (which I prefer), it becomes much softer and less piercing after 10 minutes. I can't be sure, but sometimes high-pitched fragrances smell too shrill in the cold, and I wonder if this will be one of those? There's no way to know until the temp drops further.
