Classic Stone: The Gourmand Knockout Lattafa Buried in Plain Sight
Classic Stone is a hidden gourmand delight from Lattafa. It's so hard to keep up with releases from most of these Middle Eastern brands these days, which is why not every fragrance gets the limelight.
The opening hits like hot chocolate and cacao—kind of reminiscent of Montale Intense Café with tiny citrus accord—while the spicy cardamom and saffron add a fiery kick. The sweetness I get from the opening is unlike anything I’ve smelled before. It’s rich, creamy (but not overly milky), with a smooth coffee and caramel undertone. That distinct, delicious-yet-mature opening almost reminds me of a candy called Alpenliebe from my country.
As it settles, the soft suede and violet add a velvety touch to the blend. I definitely get the suede in this fragrance—it draws me in. I love how suede can feel like leather, but softer and more enjoyable when combined with vanilla, especially in sweet blends like this (think Babycat, or maybe Lattafa Ishq Al Shuyukh Gold).
When the dry down arrives, you're left with a woody, sweet nuance. I can’t say I smell the oakmoss, but the spices, woods, cacao, and a faint trace of saffron remain prominent. Honestly, the note breakdown doesn’t do justice to how delicious this fragrance is.
It’s said that this was inspired by Parfums de Marly Althair—but with a twist. Then again, isn’t Art of Nature II from Lattafa already taking that route? Well, I guess Lattafa decided to give Liquid Brun some real competition—maybe Art of Nature II just wasn’t cutting it.
The performance on this one is insane. I mean, you can’t expect anything less from a Niche Emarati. 12hrs+ on my skin with heavy sillage/projection.
I'd recommend this to lovers of Althair DNA. The quality on this one is so good, and the performance is way above the pass mark.
