The Good One Deserves Much More Attention.
So here we have it, Lattafa's alternative to Hacivat. For those who don't want to read much: Yes, buy it, it's incredibly good. The "Al Dana / الدانة | Lattafa / لطافة" is my first purchase from the Niche Emarati series and I am more than astonished at how Lattafa has simply added another level of quality here at a fair price.
I just can't understand why a "Hawas Black / هوس | Rasasi / الرصاصي" has so much hype (had) and this gem here flies so far under the radar. Apart from a few tiny flaws, the "Al Dana / الدانة | Lattafa / لطافة" hardly falls short of its model.
Enough has already been said about Hacivat's or its Aventus-like DNA, I think.
The "Al Dana / الدانة | Lattafa / لطافة" fulfills exactly that purpose and does so brilliantly: It leans towards Aventus but is not Aventus per se. A bit less smoky, a touch more metallic, and a little more citrusy and fruity. What bothers me about the overall picture of Aventus is perfectly balanced here.
Only the opening does not achieve the big wow effect of Hacivat. Nevertheless, it is not bad (and neither of the two fragrances is really the highlight).
The H/S is a notch below that of Hacivat, which lasts well over 10 hours on me and whose sillage hardly diminishes. The "Al Dana / الدانة | Lattafa / لطافة" easily reaches the 8-hour mark, but after 6-7 hours, it doesn't project quite as strongly as at the beginning - but don't get me wrong: The sillage is still incredibly good! I don't find that bad at all, considering you pay 1/3 of the price and can spray generously.
Clear recommendation for testing. For a blind buy, I would assume "Hacivat knowledge".
