Lattafa 2020

I loved the bottle first of all. I searched the web for reviews with very little results. I bought it, because it doesn't make bankrupt. The packaging is already worth the money: a book with black covers in which, in a bed cut in the pages, lies the beautiful bottle. I was for an hour very reserved and almost scared to spray. What if I would be overwhelmed by an explosion of oudh and spices, or worse smoke, alcohol and some undefined strong odours I might be repulsed by?!
But eventually I did. I sprayed and hoped.... and my hope came true. It unfolded: a first burst of cinnamon and smoky notes that turn rapidly into dark woods and dry tobacco leaves and cloves. Slowly the woods get a touch of oudh, so fine, almost not there. Thyme and cedarwoods creep in and in the drydown I smell a wonderful breezy carnation with herbs, maybe lavender, so soft like a silk veil. At the end of the day my skin smells like dry tobacco leaves. Still, the overall feeling leans slightly feminine.
It is wearable any time of the year.

Enchanting arabian scent! I am in love
