Opulent Red Lattafa

Everyone knows it! The search for that certain something. It shouldn't be off-putting yet should spark interest. Pleasing but not boring. Intense but definitely not overwhelming...
The first spray of Opulent Red was a carousel ride for my nose!
I immediately had the association of a white plastic bucket in which jasmine essence was stored for so long that the plastic container would forever retain it in its fine pores! Now it sits there, washed and scrubbed in the sun, and steams away! It is now used for gardening and transports bundles of sage...
The heart note took some effort for me not to end the whole spectacle immediately and take it with Aleppo soap and a sisal pouch of mine...
But fortunately, the hustle and bustle of everyday life prevented that!
In the drydown, I actually find parallels to Alien Essence Absolue and Armani Privé - Rouge Malachite.
And here I can still smell it after 6 hours... that’s something to replicate!
After wearing it a few times, I even find the weird opening great! Somehow, it’s exactly these edges and corners that grab you and give it that certain something! If you like jasmine with a punch, this is the right place.
