Do you want to smell like a dessert?

This scent from Lattafa, that I will gladly be the first to talk about here, is such an amazing scent, a very sophisticated and unique one indeed. Not gonna lie, this smells a little weird ab close at first and takes time to fully comprehend, but in the air this screams sophistication and smells heavenly. Just don't think about Black Phantom when smelling this and do it the justice of looking at it separately without trying to make it a clone of anything because it isn't.

The pineapple you get here is very subdued and dances alone behind in the background, while complementing the coffee “Cappuccino” and the butterscotch very well. The longevity is very good with almost 8 hours, the first being even a bit loud, then it turns into a lovely coffee cake in the dry down!! The part that I love the most and keeps me coming back to this scent.

When I say a coffee cake, I don't mean it to be the similar to the Tiramisu in Uomo, but rather a less sweet, smoother, and more delicious and mouthwatering coffee centered kind of cake!
I spray this mostly in the morning with my morning coffee, and keep getting whiffs from it all throughout the day. A clear recommendation from me, this smells way more expensive than the price tag I got it for. Well done Lattafa!

Opening could be better!

I'm sorry but the opening of this fragrance is simply bad: it's incredibly chemical and chaotic to my nose.
In the dry down, it settles a little bit and becomes sweeter, with a hint of coffee mixed with violet notes, but I can't really describe the sensation..
It's a rather "weird" blend of aromas that don't evoke the pleasant feeling of a cup of coffee.
It's probably the combination of pineapple and saffron that's causing this repulsion, or maybe it's the note of butterscotch that reminds me of "toffee" but in a bad way.
In any case, it takes a few minutes for this transformation and the first minutes are quite challenging (In my opinion, a fragrance should be good from the beginning).
The performance is also nothing special, but as always, this could be different for someone else.
Lastly, I don't find any similarity with "Black Phantom Memento Mori | Kilian", absolutely none.
Apart from that, I'm not sure to really "hate it" It's simply very different from what I was expecting. That's the risk of blind buy.

Mejora con el tiempo

Fué una compra a ciegas y la primera vez que lo olí, fue un completo rechazo. Olía a humo.
Lo dejé en un rincón por 2-3 semanas para que "macere" y ha sido una buena decisión...
El perfume ya no olía a humo, si no que se sentía el caramelo de mantequilla, café y piña. Sin embargo, aún había algo que no me cuadraba y creo que hay notas que no combinan del todo bien.

No es un perfume que podría recomendar.

Inspired by Black Phantom but still own

Who hopes with "Ajayeb Dubai | Lattafa / لطافة" on a dupe to the well-known "Black Phantom Memento Mori | Kilian", I must unfortunately disappoint directly.
The fragrance is at most inspired by Black Phantom, but still independent.
At least I know nothing that really resembles the Ajayeb.

When I Ajayeb that first time tested I was pretty disappointed.
Sometimes you have to give a fragrance time before you stamp him as a bad buy and this time I gave him.

One of the reasons why the perfume disappointed me is the opening.
The pineapple, saffron combo in the opening smells extremely minty.
Mint in perfume is really not mine.
That did confuse me quite a bit, because pineapple I never felt like mint, both notes are not even very similar and yet mint is all I could perceive.

Only at the third or fourth wear I have understood the perfume goes strangely directly into the heart note and this combination of pineapple, violet leaf and saffron has something totally minty.
At the same moment you also discreetly perceive coffee and butterscotch.
Vanilla and sandalwood are also not long in coming.
Everything goes quite quickly, pow, pow, pow.
This can confuse the nose a bit.
Sounds all negative now, but it is not.
You get used to it over time and you find like it.

The most prominent notes in the later drydown are butterscotch and this something what I would call "minty".
In the background you still have a coffee "vibe", so it's not a prominent coffee note like in a fragrance like Coffee Addict or similar.
Sandalwood and vanilla give the fragrance a pleasant sweet creaminess.
However, the fragrance is never toouu sweet.
It remains until the end a mix of fresh and the Gourmandigen notes whereby the sweet somewhat predominates.
And exactly because of this freshness, you can wear it even on warmer days.
He gets it really quite well to build a bridge between gourmandigen and fresh notes.

The performance is a bit strange.
Some days I perceive him well, on other days rather less.
Probably the fragrance must still mature.
But in the first 90 minutes, the charisma is moderate to strong.
After that I perceive him still up to 3h and only then either my nose fails or he really strongly decreases, I still have to test.

Ajayeb is to be unisex, but on me he seems a little more masculine than expected.
Probably it is this fresh note that makes him look slightly masculine.
But on a woman I can still imagine him well, so it is not.

On the whole, a nice fragrance with which I had to warm up first, but now I'm still happy to have him in my collection.
And who stands on fragrances that are somewhat unique, which should give him a chance and test him.

Underrated Superstar!

It feels like Lattafa releases a new fragrance every month. The quality of many of them is good to very good, but not all of them make it into my collection.
"Ajayeb Dubai | Lattafa / لطافة" was allowed to stay right away. Not only because the fragrance draws a lot of attention to itself, but because the alcoholic saffron-coffee note with a touch of tropical pineapple, oriental vanilla and dry sandalwood is simply amazing!
The combination is reminiscent of Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette, but more like its rebellious, evil brother with 1000 more horsepower under the hood.
Smells very mainstream and could also be a celebrated new disco fragrance from Paco Rabanne.

For me, "Ajayeb Dubai | Lattafa / لطافة" is a seductive and dominant party and dating fragrance that is guaranteed not to miss its mark!
Currently flies completely under the radar and definitely deserves more attention.

A nobrainer for <€20!

Gourmand butterscotch + coffee, but there's an ugly rubberiness from the saffron that lingers for way too long

Reminds me of when you walk into a movie theater and you immediately are hit with the scent of popcorn and sweets. Extremely gourmand and quite sweet!
