Lattafa 2023

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.
