More feminine to me :D

The scent is sweet, fruity opening in the opening, and then it leans into a warm, woody base.

The longevity and projection are good.

If you're looking for a unisex and more feminine versatile scent with a touch of sweetness, this scent might be worth considering.

Not recommended if you prefer a more masculine fragrance, you might want to explore other options.

New favorite Lattafa

The opening didn't seem especially distinct from other spicy Lattafas, but the dry down grows more and more distinct and delicious -- an insanely long-lasting, peppery, ambery delight. Lasted a full day at work and into the evening, and I kept catching whiffs of myself and feeling warmed by the spicy cozy goodness.

One of Lattafa's tackier bottles (and I LIKE some of the cheesy OTT ones) but the contents more than make up for it.

This perfume doesn't smell bad, it's just smoky and I don't really like smoky perfumes at the moment

I bought a set of 6 decants. This perfume doesn't smell bad, it's just smoky and I don't really like smoky perfumes at the moment. That's why I wouldn't repurchase it in small or large quantities. It's similar to Kayali Oudgasm Vanilla Oud | 36 Intense Eau de parfum, with TERIAQ, with ANGHAM. I don't smell the notes listed at the moment. I can't define the notes exactly. I think it's for the cold season and it's unisex. It has a good persistence and a good trail. The bottle seems interesting. It has a good price. Rating: 7/10

Al Nashama vs Vintage Radio (battle of Paragon)

By now, it has probably become known that Lattafa has launched two Paragon alternatives.

On one hand, there is "Vintage Radio | Lattafa / لطافة" and on the other, "Al Nashama / النشامة | Lattafa / لطافة".
Is it worth buying both? And if not, which one should you get?
Of course, this is all subjective.
I will still try to list the differences and say which one I personally prefer.

Opening :
With both, you can immediately tell that they are trying to imitate Paragon.
Nashama starts off sweeter, more feminine, and more synthetic than Vintage Radio.
The latter simply comes across as more high-quality, complex, and mature in the opening.
Nashama just takes a few minutes longer to stop smelling so synthetic-sharp.
The point clearly goes to Vintage Radio.

Drydown :
In the drydown and towards the end, the differences become more pronounced.
With Vintage Radio, I perceive sage, pepper, lavender, and a sweet plum.
In addition, there is a warm, woody note likely created by the "Palo Santo" note.
This gives Vintage Radio a broader spectrum of notes compared to Nashama, which focuses on the sweet plum and the Palo Santo, which smells less woody than in VR.
Also, the pepper in the background is only very subtly noticeable.
So the woody note is present here as well, but it comes across as more feminine, softer, and playful.
Yes, I would almost say that Nashama leans towards candy/ice cream, but it is actually apple liqueur.
Vintage Radio, on the other hand, is spicier, balsamic, and less sweet, but a bit creamier.
For me, the point goes to Nashama here because I find this candy vibe somehow more interesting.
Many would see it differently and give the point to VR due to the slight synthetic nature, but this is my personal assessment :p

Performance :
In terms of performance, I was quite surprised.
Since Vintage Radio is part of Lattafa's Pride Line, I would have thought that it would perform better than the less well-known Paragon alternative.
I tested both on clothing.
I sprayed both equally, both were samples from the same bottle.
And Nashama was simply the better performer.
This is probably also because Nashama smells a bit more synthetic.
Synthetic fragrances often just perform better.
However, it must be said fairly that you hardly notice the synthetics in the air at all.
Only when you smell the spot where you sprayed it do you notice this slight synthetic quality.
Even after hours, I perceived Nashama significantly better.
The next day, out of curiosity, I sniffed my sleeves before they went into the washing machine, and even there I clearly noticed Nashama more.
So here again, the point goes to Nashama.

Both unisex?
Actually, for me, Nashama is the true unisex fragrance.
Women would probably prefer it over VR, which does smell more masculine than this one.

Price :
Currently, both fragrances are almost equally inexpensive.
This may change, but with a price difference of 1-2 euros, there is no winner here.

Which one is better is hard to say.
Everyone should decide for themselves.
My choice falls on Nashama.
But to summarize who is better in which category (in my opinion):

Opening : Vintage Radio
Drydown : Nashama
Quality : Vintage Radio
Performance : Nashama
Price : tie

What is also important to mention is that both are about 85 - 90% similar.
In numbers, it's always hard to say, but at the beginning, it's about 80-85%, in the late drydown probably 90%.
Which one is closer to the original, I unfortunately cannot say.
According to those who have tested the Paragon, Vintage Radio would be a good alternative.

The Plum Scent for Summer!

If someone had told me here at "Al Nashama / النشامة | Lattafa / لطافة" that this is an expensive niche fragrance, I would have believed it too. Yet again, it is another affordable masterpiece from Lattafa.
And for me, it is the most summery plum scent par excellence!

"Al Nashama / النشامة | Lattafa / لطافة" is very reminiscent of its expensive brother Paragon or its similarly budget-friendly "twin" "Vintage Radio | Lattafa / لطافة". All three are top-notch fragrances, but "Al Nashama / النشامة | Lattafa / لطافة" is simply fruitier, more summery, and has captivated me more.
In the opening, a very pleasant, almost meditative sage note initially overwhelms you, gently supported by spicy pepper notes. But right in the next wave, a sweet-sparkling plum DNA joins in, and a hint of citrus is also noticeable. "Al Nashama / النشامة | Lattafa / لطافة" is for me the perfect example of a unisex fragrance and was quickly "stolen" by my partner (which is almost a miracle considering his usual comments on fragrances). Just a very, very pleasant, spicy-fruity scent that can be wonderfully worn by both her and him in summer with clear niche potential.
Sillage is also adapted to the summer months - it doesn't overpower, but is still always present. So for the price, sillage is more than outstanding.

An extremely high-quality, beautiful fragrance that definitely deserves more attention and is completely unjustly overshadowed by its "brothers". But perhaps that is exactly what makes it a hidden gem.
