Badee Al Oud Sublime

Olfactory Experience

Badee Al Oud Sublime is a dead ringer for Eden Juicy Apple, hitting about 91% of the mark. That initial burst of candied red apple and lychee is spot-on, maybe a touch sharper, more synthetic than Kayali's smoother blend. The heart follows quickly with that juicy wild berry accord, leaning heavier on raspberry than the original. The jasmine is a faint whisper here. The base is where they really nailed it: a fluffy sugar-musk combo that keeps it sweet and playful. It lacks the slightly warmer vanilla nuance I get in Eden Juicy Apple, but it's negligible.

Final Thoughts

If you love Eden Juicy Apple but can't justify the Kayali price, this is a no-brainer. It's a fun, fruity, and surprisingly long-lasting fragrance perfect for everyday wear. Is Kayali's blend smoother and more refined? Yes. Is it ten times better? Absolutely not. Lattafa did an excellent job capturing the essence of the original. This is a great choice for teens, college students, or anyone wanting a fun, fruity scent for casual daytime wear. Great grab for spring and summer months.

Longevity & Projection

This stuff projects! For the first hour, it's a sweet, fruity cloud around you. Don't overspray, it can get cloying. After that initial burst, it settles into a skin scent that lasts a good 5-6 hours. Not bad at all point. I got around 6 hours on my skin!
