The Kingdom for Women

Lattafa

What a wonderful and extremely multifaceted fragrance!
The opening: pure pear!

The reason I fell so deeply in love with this scent is that it somehow (very subtly) reminds me of New West for her by Aramis.
Don't get me wrong: There is no substitute for New West!
I loved it so much and searched for a replacement for years. But nothing gave me even a hint of that feeling.
Until Kingdom came!

As I said, it is completely different. But it also carries this "crisp" quality for me. (With New West, it was a cucumber-like melon. Here, it's a cucumber-like pear. Although I also had some pear vibes with New West).
It also has a bit of that woody, slightly aquatic quality for me. Everything is delicate in the background.
It doesn't come close to the freshness of New West, as it becomes sweeter and sweeter over time.
But this delicate and brief vibe makes me really happy!
I just want to bite into it.
It definitely has an interesting, layered development. Towards the dry down, it becomes vanilla-sweet.
It's fascinating how differently fragrances affect us!
The longevity is also really good.
Even though Lattafa is churning out one fragrance after another, there are definitely some mega hits among them.
