Great smoky-fruity shisha scent
Continuing on with Lattafa, this great Mashrabya definitely deserves a review. A fantastic modern scent that fits perfectly into the current times. I am not a fan of shisha and all that goes with it, but this fruity tobacco simply smells good, and this also applies to fragrances. This Mashrabya is marketed as a Smoking Hot dupe. Not many people know this Kilian, and I have no idea if Lattafa intentionally wanted to release a dupe of this scent. Perhaps Lattafa was simply inspired by this Kilian. I tested Smoking Hot and even considered buying it. The price-performance ratio for the 50ml was not that great, as it already has designer-like qualities. Even though it is really well made and high quality, the prices for what you get were too high for me. Here, Lattafa offers a really, really good alternative. Specifically, the top note comes quite close to the whole thing, and the rest is also pleasant to smell. I particularly recommend it to young people, as this shisha note gives it a stylish vibe. Overall, this scent fits into this modern, stylish appearance.
Price-wise, this scent is as usual super, and you get a high-quality fragrance that can hold its own against the original. The bottle is quite cool and looks elegant. A great black-gold combination with a cool golden cap. The bottle is quite heavy and has nice details. The packaging is rather discreet for Lattafa standards.
The star of the creation is clearly the shisha apple tobacco. A wonderful fruity note combined with this typical shisha tobacco. You have to like it, as this apple does not smell like an authentic apple but rather distinctly like shisha. Additionally, there is this slightly smoky note that is meant to represent the shisha vapor note. It has a great special vibe with this smoky apple. The tobacco also comes through well and fits nicely with this shisha note. In the heart note, the notes of date and cinnamon come through, giving it a wonderful spicy-sweet vibe. The base is warm with caramel-vanilla, some dark patchouli, and a slightly oriental-smoky oud note. Overall, it is extremely pleasing, even if it sounds quite challenging in parts. In times of fruity vapes, this is definitely a safe scent that should match the style. Towards the end, I definitely prefer the Kilian, but here you get an extremely successful alternative at a good price. Unisex is fair, even though there are clearly more male fans here. The scent is suitable for everyday wear and also fits well for the evening.
The performance is really good and rivals the Kilian. You easily get around 10 hours with 4-5 hours of good sillage. It's worth it.
Overall, this is a really good Lattafa. I would count it among my favorites from this brand as it is quite unique and there aren't many great alternatives to Smoking Hot.
