Amethyst is the pink version of the Badee Al Oud range, and the most sumptuous of the three.
— The opening is brief and sharp: pink pepper and bergamot, just enough to open the door.
— The heart is the real subject: a double rose, Turkish and Bulgarian, jammy and deep, accompanied by jasmine. It is dense, almost syrupy.
— The base sets in oud, amber and vanilla, which bring the smoke and the warmth beneath the flower.
One user sums it up well: this is a dark rose, one that evokes tapestried interiors rather than a bouquet. Very strong projection — two sprays fill a room — and ten to twelve hours of wear. Evenings, cold weather.
The notes

Maahir is a rose-oud, and that is a family in which it is very hard to do something good at a low price.
— The opening pairs saffron and rose, that typically Middle Eastern combination you find in the great fragrances of the region.
— The heart brings akigalawood, leather and a dry amber that gives it character.
— The base rests on an oud accord softened by vanilla and musk.
A useful warning: the notes listed on some reference sites do not match what the fragrance actually smells like. Lattafa's official composition, the one given here, is much closer to the lived experience. Eight to twelve hours of wear, strong projection at the start. Cold weather, evenings.

Fakhar is one of Lattafa's oldest best sellers, and it has never left the catalogue — which, in this house, means something.
— The opening is generously fruity: peach, pear, orange, apple and blackcurrant arrive together, juicy and luminous.
— The heart swings over to a classic, well-built floral: orange blossom, rose and sambac jasmine.
— The base sets in vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood and musk, which give the fragrance its staying power and its lightly powdery side.
This is an easy, balanced fragrance that is not out to shock anyone. It is widely liked, by men as well as women, and that is precisely its strength. Wearable all year. A good choice if you want a fragrance that never puts a foot wrong.
