Beautifully Presented Retro Vibes
I don't need to say much about the packaging. The other reviews are very detailed on that. I agree with them. 10/10.
About the scent:
Slightly woody and oriental animalic. It leans more towards "Paco Rabanne pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Paco Rabanne" … definitely 70s/80s… that vibe. Many find it outdated… however, I think it is timelessly wearable…
So:
A timelessly wearable retro fougère men’s fragrance with a slight oriental twist. Quite nice.
Anyone who wants to have such a fragrance in their collection can buy this one without hesitation. I bought it blind. And even though I'm not a huge fan of these retro men’s fragrances, I really like it because it has its own charm. Moreover, I didn't have such a scent in my collection yet. So it was worth it ^^
For €20(!) you definitely can't go wrong!

Lightly Alcoholic Apple Strudel
The scent smells gourmand sweet like apple strudel... but not overly sweet. It is kept in check, which makes it exceptionally wearable.
There are also slightly more alcoholic notes that give it an extraordinarily luxurious and expensive smell.
For my nose, the fragrance works excellently.
I know the scent is supposed to be reminiscent of "Angels' Share | Kilian." However, I can't say much about that (as far as the scent is concerned) since I've only smelled it fleetingly once.
So I can only evaluate it as an independent fragrance, and as such, it does quite well ^^
The bottle is, of course, beautiful, and the presentation is excellent.
I managed to snag it for a - moderate - price of €40 at Notino. Nevertheless, I say that this fragrance is worth every penny.

Sweet/fruity and sensual Oriental
The fragrance houses a concentrated, heavy sweetness that slumbers within the beautiful bottle.
However, it is not a gourmand sweetness, but rather a - at the beginning - slightly fruity sweetness. The fruitiness fades within the first few minutes. What remains is the sensual, slightly spicy/mysterious concentrated and oriental sweetness.
It becomes increasingly sensual and pleasant to wear over time. In my opinion, it is a feel-good scent ^^
The longevity is truly impressive. You can still perceive it on your clothes weeks later. The sillage is also very good. Room-filling. What more could you want?
I would definitely categorize the fragrance as unisex. However, I think women will have more fun with it. I wear it nonetheless, as I enjoy sweet scents.
The bottle is very beautiful. The presentation is truly grand! It opens like an Amouage. It would make a fantastic gift!
And now to the price. All of this for just €15(!). Unbeatable. You can buy it blindly without hesitation. At this price, you definitely can't go wrong ^^

Cardamom Freshness with Long Lasting Power
The scent is fresh… lightly citrusy fresh and very long-lasting. Cardamom is perceptible from the start. The slightly citrus notes fade quickly, but I can still detect them here and there as it develops.
In the dry down, cardamom is more prominent than bergamot.
In the statements, it was said that it smells like D&G - K… I can't evaluate that. I don't have K. I would rather say it leans towards
Terre d'Hermès Parfum.
Sillage is really good. I don't usually know that from fresh scents. Lattafa has really done a great job with this, hats off ^^
The scent can definitely be categorized as unisex, but I find it to be more masculine. For the ladies, I would recommend Lattafa Ra‘ed Silver, as I clearly categorize that one as a fruity-fresh unisex scent ^^
The bottle is, in my opinion, very beautiful and comes in a stylish packaging. Great for the price. It would make a wonderful gift.
The price/performance ratio is unbeatable at 20€. Anyone in need of a - rather masculine - fresh scent can buy this without hesitation.

90% Similar to BR540
In my opinion, the dupe quality is excellent.
It is actually exactly the same scent DNA.
Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum smells a bit more like cotton candy, while "Ana Abiyedh Rouge | Lattafa / لطافة" leans a bit more towards fresh pear in some nuances. But these are really just small nuances in perception.
This gives the fragrance something "unique." So it's not an exact dupe, but it is already 90% identical. And to be honest, I like it when a dupe doesn't smell 100% the same. If you want the original, you get the original. But if you love the scent that much, you also get the dupes that smell similar but still bring a certain twist. It's like being able to change the skin of a video game character. It's the same character, just in a different costume. I like that ^^
BR540 lovers can therefore buy this without hesitation.
Even though the longevity isn't as good compared to other Lattafa fragrances, I think that for this price (18€), you still get a very good price-performance ratio. However, due to its longevity, I honestly wouldn't buy it again once it's empty. I would then prefer to go back to the stronger "Ana Abiyedh (Eau de Parfum) | Lattafa / لطافة."
