Some time ago, I received fragrance samples, including a decant of "His Confession." At first, I paid no attention to the scent because I thought it was too masculine for me. Eventually, I came across the decant again and decided to test it. I was pleasantly surprised because it was completely different from what I expected.
"His Confession | Lattafa / لطافة" starts off spicy, fresh, and fruity. Immediately, I perceive a pleasantly fresh, slightly sweet, and balsamic lavender. The mandarin is also immediately present and harmonizes well with its fruity sweetness and the lavender.
After a short while, the iris unfolds with its warm, floral, and slightly earthy note, giving the fragrance a certain powderiness. It adds a subtle nuance that reminds me of makeup.
In the drydown, the mandarin is no longer perceivable; instead, benzoin and frankincense come to the forefront. Benzoin adds a warm-sweet and vanillic nuance to the fragrance, while the frankincense contributes a pleasant spiciness.
For me, lavender and iris are prominent and dominate the scent.
I must admit that I usually struggle with iris fragrances, as I do not like their powdery note and therefore tend to avoid scents with iris in the fragrance pyramid. However, "His Confession | Lattafa / لطافة" surprised me. I really like it here because it has a delicate creamy touch, is perfectly integrated, and harmonizes wonderfully with the lavender.
The longevity is decent. I perceive the scent for about 6 hours before it becomes quieter and softer. The sillage, however, is rather moderate.
Due to its powdery-sweet character, I do not perceive "His Confession" as purely masculine, but rather as a unisex fragrance that also suits women very well.
After testing the fragrance, I liked it so much that a bottle was allowed to join my collection. Although it is labeled as a masculine scent, I can also recommend it to women to simply give it a try.
