Lattafa 2022

Due to the many positive reviews here and generally on social media, I finally had to get this fragrance and make my own judgment.

I expected an edible gourmand from the descriptions of ‘Christmas market’ (which I somehow always associate with roasted almonds and other treats) or ‘baked apple’.

Now it has finally arrived at my place, and right off the bat, I LOVE IT!

However, what I cannot smell at all is Christmas market or baked apple (or generally apple). I find this a bit disappointing since I had a completely different idea and wanted exactly something like that in my collection, but it doesn’t detract from the fragrance at all.

It smells wonderfully spicy with cinnamon, that’s true, but I find that it leans more towards a woody direction without any fruity or edible notes.
Over time, the cinnamon note also becomes lighter, and date, praline, and tonka bean beautifully merge with amberwood and benzoin.

To my nose, the fragrance is an oriental gourmand that is definitely unisex and leans slightly masculine.

Great for the colder season with extremely good longevity and sillage.

Price-performance = 100/10
