What People Say
Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Blanc
A buyer enjoys a pineapple-cake opening that dries down to a more straightforward cake-like sweetness.
Another buyer likes the pineapple and vanilla but notices an unpleasant dirty-smelling note as it develops.

A sample wearer enjoys the noticeable almond character on skin. Another Extrait owner loves its mixture of airy sweetness and substantial presence.
One wearer finds the almond impression chalky and orange-like, preferring the EDP’s lighter character. Another owner finds the Extrait heavy and dense yet difficult to smell on themselves.
The Verdict
Choose Honor & Glory, also sold as Badee Al Oud Blanc, for pineapple and creamy vanilla with turmeric, pepper and cinnamon. Choose Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait for jasmine, bitter almond and a woody, ambery musk accord. Honor & Glory fans enjoy its cake-like sweetness, but an earthy side bothers another buyer; try it first if you want an uncomplicated dessert scent.
