Good but Short-lived

I have already tried several Lattafa fragrances. This one is the xth in number.

Here we go....
Lattafa is good when it comes to scent. They could just improve on performance. Just like the Fakhar from Lattafa described here.
It is a clone of YSL Y EdP, and yes.....It really fits.
This slightly sweet, harsh start is quite close to the original....Very good.
I also really like the further development. Fresh, woody, and that pleasant shower gel scent. Really good......
Aaaaand.......Now comes the unpopular BUT.

The longevity and sillage are really bottom drawer.
Sprayed on the forearm and the first impression was....Really good.
Then I let it sit and after 30 minutes the scent was no longer perceptible.....Seriously?
And if comments come now....."Nose blind... blablabla"....
Even outsiders could no longer smell it after half an hour.
Or you had to rub your nose on your skin to smell something. That really can't be.

At least the bottle looks good on the shelf. But for using, the scent really isn't worth it. Way too weak on the skin. I'd rather get the YSL Y original EdP.
Conclusion....

For me, Lattafa is definitely done.....Outside nice, inside not so much.

The Fakhar lasts really well for us too! Our two are almost 6 months old.

As I said, I'm getting the original next month. It lasts longer... smells better.

OK... My bottle lasted just under 5 weeks. I had to shower with the stuff for anyone to notice it.

No, of course not 🤣. 24 hours?! I honestly don't believe that.

You're definitely nose-blind to this scent... for sure...
For a "fresh" fragrance, it really packs a punch... lasts a solid 6 hours straight.
You might not notice it, but others definitely do.

Not at all. I gifted friends a 2 ml sample so they could test it. Each of them said that the perfume has poor longevity and sillage. For some, it lasted about 4 hours, and for others, only an hour. So, we can't talk about nose blindness when everyone who had a sample felt the same way. I have the same problem with Asad. Same issue, as they say.

I unfortunately agree with you. I wasn't sure if I was imagining it, but you confirm my impression as well. Unfortunately. I just spray double the amount compared to usual (the bottle is cheap anyway) and always carry a small atomizer with me. But there's something else I don't like about the scent, namely the very strong pine needle fragrance. It feels like you're standing right in front of a resinous Christmas tree. But I guess that's part of what defines the scent...
