Lattafa / لطافة 2022

People who think that this isn’t worth up to $150, either don’t own any single niche fragrance, and hence, prejudiced, or they’re just complete biased haters, that have this illogical and wrong view on Lattafa, prolly because they do clones. And here lies my problem with society—the inability to judge things, open-minded!
But I digress.

Khamrah opens up with sweet mix of dates, wine accord, cinnamon and something coconut-y. I do get a kind of woody/leathery vibe in the background. It progresses over time and loses that dates smell and becomes kinda balsamic and woody; with vanilla, Tonka bean(also detected in the opening), woods and myrrh being the star here. I don’t wanna go in depth on the smell, as it’s still new to me and many people have already done justice to that.

The performance on this, is mind blowing. Put this on my arm, an hour later, I took a nap and woke up 2 hours later and was like “Jeez, what’s this beautiful aroma?”, then I realized I sprayed Khamrah... and lo and behold, it was just as if I was just spraying it. It’s just too strong and loud. I just got it and It’s been 5-6 hours now and it’s still loud.

Even tho I know quite some things, I’m still not a big fragrance expert, but I can tell you that I have smelt heavily synthetic bad fragrances that costs over $25, but this is just as smooth as hell. This is beauty personified, and I’ve used and tested hundreds of Lattafas. If you think that most Alharamain Amber Oud range is okay for over $80 for 70ml(I think), and this is too much for the $65+ for 100ml it’s going for, then you’re biased. This is the exact problem I had with a reviewer that said Roja Apex is like the ‘niche version’ of Sauvage elixir... WTF! Just because it’s Roja doesn’t make it any better!!!!!!!! Fraghead(most especially the niche snobs) should stop these irrationalities!
