Kashaf Lattafa / لطافة

Phew, I really don't know how there have been so few responses here so far.
This fragrance needs so much more attention!
Recently, I was able to test La Capitale as a bottling through a dear Parfumo user. & I was really shockingly in love. Rarely have I smelled something so beautiful. So I knew I needed it. Now I was aware that I would have to save up for such a bottle for the time being. But I saw Kashaf among similar fragrances. No fragrance notes given, hardly any reviews. Hmmm, so first I had to find out what it was supposed to smell like. According to the manufacturer, it breaks down like this -
Top note: rose
Heart notes: blackcurrant, raspberry & saffron
Base notes: sandalwood, oud & musk

At the first spray, you immediately notice a juicy raspberry that smells beautifully fruity and fresh. There is also a light hairspray note, which makes it seem synthetic for a moment. However, I don't notice it for very long. It remains permanently fruity & sweet, but then becomes a little sharper due to the saffron. Such a beautiful combination. The musk then makes the whole thing a little powdery. You can definitely smell the woodiness, which makes the fragrance more suitable for men to wear than La Capitale in my opinion. It is therefore much less feminine & really great for all genders. Unfortunately, I'm not really the type for very oriental things, but that's really not an issue here. I don't think you can smell any difference between the two fragrances after an hour, for example. Even when I sniff the spray button, I really can't tell the difference. So it's amazing how close Lattafa has come to the original.

The bottle is beautifully designed and fits well in the hand despite its size. Durability & sillage are really great. For 15€, this is an absolutely amazing thing.
So if you like La Capitale, you'll like this one too. If you're looking for a cheap alternative - go for it. It's worth it!
