Lattafa / لطافة 2024

Tested today at ️ 27°C/ First Impression : The start was an absolute disaster for me. Loud, bitingly cool & immediately salty... VERY SALTY, to run away from. 'Well, it's also a man's fragrance, maybe it has to be that way ... just be patient', I told myself to give it a real chance. As soon as the iris makes an appearance, it becomes more pleasant and coconut envelops you
. Sometimes it's pleasant coconut water, then like in Zara's 'White Regal', a touch too synthetic, which I like less, then softened again. This base here, pluffy vanilla (fortunately not too sweet!) with more subtle pleasant incense, I already know (just where from!? Ishq Shuyukh Gold Lattafa? ) and find it VERY suitable for summer with the coconut & iris (& salt), especially because there is still this light fluffy pinch, which clearly gives you those beach bar vibes and is not necessarily the same throughout, but still pleasant. For me (at the moment!) still a somewhat restless fragrance. (But it's a Lattafa, I'm happy to let it settle down after testing it, I hope it becomes more rounded first) Women probably need a little patience with this one. So it could definitely work in temperatures above 30°C. For men who like aquatic fragrances or are looking for coconut and beach vibes, this should be a safe bet. Absolutely not a flop, but also not my 10/10 that I was hoping for (after a few YT performances), as I'm looking for the ultimate coconut summer feeling fragrance (and have now given up the search for women's AND unisex perfumes, because they all become too sweet for me from 30° heat).
Conclusion for all(!) who are looking for coconut: worth a test.
