Can't get out of your head and creeps into your heart
When I heard that top perfumer Quentin Bisch, who conceived #Delina, was creating another Lattafa (it wasn't his first time), I was very interested. Little by little, reviews started pouring in, most of them comparing Teriaq with La Belle. So I went and sniffed the latter to shorten the waiting time, but after treating myself to a bottle of Teriaq, I have to say - the vibe is there, but it's not a classic dupe. You could say that if you're into feminine, sweet fragrances, then there's a good chance you'll like the new Lattafa fragrance. But that's about it. As I was really impressed by the bottling, I naturally treated myself to the bottle.
The bottle is beautifully designed, much too good to store in the dark. The cap is unfortunately made of plastic, but at €29.95, the whole project here is surprisingly affordable considering the hype. I would have seen it priced more in the Niche Emirati realm.
Teriaq starts off salty and sweet. At first, I was a little startled because it reminded me of celery, or a salty soup or even Maggi. The longer I own the bottle. I'm already familiar with the fact that several Lattafa fragrances tend to put me off at first sniff. Here, however, the top note is somehow so special and changes so quickly that my nose was practically glued to my wrist. In between, it becomes sweet and caramelly, the fragrance is not linear at all and that's exactly how I feel about it now. It's a fragrance you can't get away from, I keep coming back to it. I think it lasts a very good 8 hours, I can still smell it on clothes days later. I don't find it fruity and fresh, the vanilla dominates on my skin quite quickly and overall this fragrance reminds me of Betina Bartey's Vannila Body Lotion, which I liked to use as a schoolgirl.
I am happy to have Teriaq in my collection, but I find it more feminine than unisex.

The dupe to the Lattafa Dupe Antique
I was actually on the hunt for another Lattafa fragrance. I had my eye on the Antique fragrance from the Niche Emirati range, but I wasn't prepared to fork out a hefty €80 for it, so I initially bought a bottle here from the souk....
