Vegan apricot and peach leather tanned in saffron lye, post-treated with cardamom polish
◘Simplified fragrance pyramid:
Top notes: peach blossom or magnolia, slightly pungent ethereal tones
Heart notes: apricot pulp, peach zest, mango pulp, cardamom, rose geranium
Base notes: saffron extract, vegan (faux) leather, balsamic wood, chemical fixatives
________________________________________________________________
◘Range intensity (projection & sillage):
(6 out of 10) Medium. Has the aura of a new leather set.
◘Progression:
Hardly any progression. Top note barely present, except for pungent ethereal saffron impressions . Heart note quite intense, then mellowing and finally remaining as a leathery, peachy skin scent. Woody tones are then sometimes perceptible. Saffron is always more or less perceptible.
◘Duration:
8 hrs and more. In drydown clearly friendlier, creamier and more natural.
◘Flask & outer design:
Bravo, Lattafa.
Round black imitation leather box lined with anthracite velvet and embossed with logos and names. Flacon made of very heavy glass, but unfortunately framed with cheap-looking, golden plastic faux metal rim. Casket lid sits very tightly on the base. Flacon lid makes wonderful clicking sound when put on, but unfortunately sits quite loosely on spray button surround.
Very nice for the low price. The fakemetal stuff could be omitted, then the design would be much better.
The gold-orange liquid doesn't really match the outer colour of the packaging. Beige leather would have been more appropriate. The fragrance has no association with black.
_______________________________________________________________
◘Description:
It is a saffron fragrance. Saffron in different facets. Real saffron is very delicate, expensive, exhausting to harvest and hardly smells intense enough to be mass produced as a perfume base. It is an attempt to mimic the effect of saffron.
In addition, Qaa'ed is also a kind of leather scent. An attempt to make a vegan leather from fruit peels, one might suppose.
One wonders when judging what the fragrance is supposed to express and what it actually expresses.
Some fragrance implementations often fail because of the components used. Here, most likely also a question of price.
Completely uncitrusy at the start, but somehow later becoming balsamic and slightly vanilla, the fragrance seems very synthetic all the time. Yes, that is, synthetic and not artificial, as I am reluctant to use the term synthetic.
Always remaining slightly sweet and nectarine in the background, the fragrance captivates with its radiant, fruity leather note.
The composition as a whole is difficult to assess.
Is it beige synthetic leather, fresh from the factory and treated with natural saffron and other substances to appear more natural, or is it a natural, sweet organic leather that has unfortunately been pimped out with synthetic apricot extract?
Or is it an attempt to create a wear-resistant vegan fruit leather from fruit peels, spices, extracts and chemical additives?
A cream-coloured chesterfield sofa in a room with apricot-coloured walls comes to mind. This represents the fragrance very well.
What I lack in leather feeling in LaYuqawam pour homme, Qaa'ed has too much of.
When I read comments and statements about LY tobacco blaze, and then tested the fragrance, a lot of things seemed wrong to me in retrospect. Just like Qaa'ed smells, that's how I imagined tobacco blaze at the time. But the tb by LaYuqawam is a 90% dupe of Shuhrah.
It's a unisex fragrance. As a woman's fragrance, I find it a bit too intense and too material. As a men's fragrance, it's not spicy enough, not adventurous enough, not action-packed enough.
In drydown / after a few hours on the skin it is very pleasant and then milder nuances of woody and skin tones unfold.
A freshly cleaned cockpit in a cream Bentley or Rolls Royce could smell like this, or an aging yacht could be spruced up with the scent to fetch a better price when selling.
◘Accasion:
Dining out, Dinner, Leisure, Cuddling, Wellness, Sunbathing
◘Season:
Mainly summer
◘Age recommendation:
all ages except the elderly or pregnant women, for whom the scent might be perceived as a little too chemical.
◘Similars & Fragrance Twins:
-
◘Associations:
vegan leather, stone fruit, leather sofa, luxury interior, yacht, handbag, fruity honey.
◘Other:
People who are exposed to chemical smells on a daily basis, or who work in a furniture store, for example, may not really notice the synthetic content. People who love natural essences and essential oils will not do themselves any favours with this fragrance.
Top notes: peach blossom or magnolia, slightly pungent ethereal tones
Heart notes: apricot pulp, peach zest, mango pulp, cardamom, rose geranium
Base notes: saffron extract, vegan (faux) leather, balsamic wood, chemical fixatives

Freshly painted hunter's fence at a family summer barbecue party in the forest
◘ Simplified scent pyramid:
Top note:
fruity terpenes
Heart note:
Raspberry sorbet, caramel
Base note:
tart, partly burnt wood, strong turpentine, smoked raspberry, incense
________________________________________________________________________________________
◘ Range intensity (projection & sillage):
(8-9 of 10) strong to very strong!
This makes you stand out very quickly.
◘ Course:
Doesn't really have a course, but starts directly through with the linear, very strong scent.
◘ Endurance:
12 hours and counting. Perceptible on the clothing two, three, four days later or even longer.
On the skin at least 12 hours. Extreme endurance, extreme fertility. Without this terpenic component, the perfume would most likely be very weak.
◘ Flacon & exterior design:
The La Yuqawam series consists of real wood caskets, in which the bottle sits firmly and unbreakable.
The entire design is very beautiful and of high quality. In addition, there are four small magnets in the box, which fix the lid as soon as you put it on the groove on the bottom. Flacon with rounded corners, high-quality metal spray button in brass-gold colour and real wood lid with milled company name. The box also contains velvet-covered foam pads that absorb vibrations.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________br />
◘ Description:
Very special scent. More of a smell to me. I didn't have to think long if I like the scent or what it reminds me of.
I feel sorry for the fans of the fragrance if I have to write it like that now.
Directly with the first sprayer, actually the second the spray mist reached my skin, my face warped. I was disappointed about the scent that was so hyped by many. One hint would have been enough!
What I smelled was clearly some kind of turpentine. Better said wood protection glaze for wooden fences and garden sheds made of wood.
Can't understand how someone can find this smell of fresh paint great.
Probably these are people who have never painted a wooden fence in their lives, or who have never come into contact with a painter. (Can judge this from their own experience)
I search in vain for leather until today! There is no leather. It's wood stain plus raspberry sorbet and some smoke from a smoker grill in the background.
No idea what others can be accused of as leather, smoked bacon rind, PVC foil soaked in brush cleaner, a chamois leather soaked in thinner? In any case, there is no real, naturally tanned leather (vera pelle) to be found here. Someone who has bought new leather shoes, a new leather sofa, a handbag or a leather jacket should be able to judge how leather smells. In any case, I have never seen a leather product in my life that could be approximately associated with LY. Some people even say that the oud has a connection to riding stables or camel pee... It's very subjective.
For me this - I would almost like to call it smell - scent is very unimaginative and badly made. If only there was at least an oud note in it and the strong turpentine smell would be reduced! Since it is actually a Dupe, you can turn a blind eye. I will never have to test the Tuscan Leather now. The manufacturer wants to sell above all. Therefore it does not surprise me if badly made scents are imitated. What is beautiful is what the consumer likes
For me, the association with this fragrance is a forest hut with a hunter's fence. An ecologically conscious family is a guest here, sitting at a very archaic and massive-looking wooden table and eating sorbet made from organic raspberries. The small children have eaten with their hands and unfortunately smeared sorbet on their mother's clothes. The mother is now standing on the garden fence that was painted the day before and unfortunately she leans against it so unhappily that her blouse gets a wet imprint of the not yet completely dried, oily protective glaze. In the background the Demeter-certified sausage is still smoking in the very old smoking oven.
The clouds of smoke slowly billow around the forest hut and all in all, it smells like - LaYuqawam homme!
My personal conclusion: Not my scent!
Doesn't like it at all, and I don't see how anyone could like it. Could, as in my case, cause a headache from the penetrating smell of turpentine. I couldn't sleep at night because of that smell. Had the feeling that I was in a wooden hut with fire damage.
The other two LaYuqawams are very beautiful.
◘ Occasion:
To attract attention. To smell good beyond the sugar-sweet shower gel vibegranates.
As described for an eco barbecue party in the forest hut.
◘ Season:
Always goes, if you like the smell. Outsiders might ask if you changed after work. (Maybe the Christmas pyramid was freshly stained?)
◘ Age recommendation:
>25
Whether age recommendation or age classification can be assumed here is a good question.
The scent is, in my subjective assessment, more of a smell. You gotta like it! Very special
◘ Similare & Scent Twins:
Tuscan Leather and others.
◘ Associations:
Forest hut, raspberry groats, raspberry cold peel, smoking oven, freshly painted wooden fence, wooden cabin, log cabin, fireplace, smoker
◘ Other:
The bottles of the 'LaYuqawam' series are never filled to the brim! If filled to the brim, it would be about 100ml. But the sales size is 75ml, so only the indicated amount is filled into the flacons, which are a bit too big for the content. Some people might wonder about the not full bottle. It is so normal.
From the fragrance very controversial.
Gotta really like you.

Licorice snail meets burnt cane sugar plantation in the desert
╠ Simplified and shortened fragrance classification:
Top note:
About half a minute alcoholic, white wine like
Heart note:
Brown sugar, vanillin, caramel tones, smooth, slightly powdery woods
Base note:
Myrrh, olibanum, roasted, smoked liquorice (= liquorice /= myrrh)
________________________________________________________________________________________
╠ Range intensity (projection & sillage):
(4-5 of 10) rather weak for an Arabic perfume.
╠ Course:
Very linear. Only when applied directly, one has an alcoholic, ethereal effect.
The heart note is also not of long duration and quickly merges into the long-lasting base, which has a good fixation.
╠ Endurance:
6 hours min.
Still perceptible the next day, because of the smokiness, which is very concise and stands out.
╠ Flacon & exterior design:
Flacon looks very valuable and is made of very thick, heavy glass. A brown wood grain is printed on three sides. At the back, the bottle is transparent and you can see the Arabic writing on the front. The lid is made of very heavy, solid plastic with a wooden look on the sides and a gold metal effect on top and bottom. The spray button is not specially made, but it serves its purpose. Lid closes very tightly, so that the bottle can be lifted by the lid without falling down. The packaging is partly printed with gold metallic arabesques, which remind of the splendid decorations of mosques. Packaging is also partially embossed with wood texture. On the inside of the packaging there are countless Lattafa brand logos next to each other (tiling). Packaging is much larger than the flacon. This sits wobble-proof in a cardboard device. For the price very beautifully processed.

╠ Description:
The name is a misnomer!
I was also a little disappointed and had imagined the scent differently. Comments and scent pyramids cannot represent the scent as it is subjectively perceived by the individual. There is no wood in the classical sense and it is not necessarily 'intense'. Myrrh, myrrh, more myrrh and desert (resin) bushes! Myrrh smells similar to liquorice! I have a bottle of myrrh extract for comparison.
I think you have to wear it more often to like it
On some days I perceive more the vanilla notes, on others only the licorice and smoky aspects. This very linear fragrance isn't bad, but it's very special and unusual.
I also think about what to put in the headline, so that one can judge the scent already from it.
For lovers of single malts, whiskeys and other spirits matured in wooden barrels, this fragrance will be worth a try. (Holy) smoky, resinous, woody, crunchy, dry-warm. Like a freshly burnt oak barrel.
Another association would be something like a pirate ship, the 'flying Dutchman' or an orthodox church, where the incense was being waved.
╠ Occasion:
For dreaming, meditating, watching a suitable film, going to church, drinking whiskey or cigars in the gentlemen's room. Absolutely no party scent!!!
You can probably use it to perfume a winter coat, a man's room or an old library.
╠ Season:
More like winter, if worn in public. By Arab standards an evergreen
Any time you put it on for yourself.
╠ Age recommendation:
>30
╠ Similare & Scent Twins:
see suggestions from Parfumo
╠ Associations:
Pirate ship, ghost ship, whiskey, gentlemen's room, burnt oasis in the desert, liquorice, myrrh, incense, orthodox church, Byzantium, Greece, resins, burning bushes, single malt, whiskey cask, arabesque, church visit
╠ Other:
Oud and other ingredients not perceptible. Apparently only serve to round off the overall composition.
A lot of myrrh (liquorice note), a lot of incense and for the newcomer to fragrance 'charred wood' noticeable.
Top note:
About half a minute alcoholic, white wine like
Heart note:
Brown sugar, vanillin, caramel tones, smooth, slightly powdery woods

Romantic sunbathing on the powdered sugar sand beach
◙ Head note:
Lime, heliotrope
◙ Heart note:
Carnation, cotton candy, mace
◙ Base note:
Vanillin, tonka, amber, sugar, roasted almond, cedar, a touch of eugenol
________________________________________________________________________________________
◙ Range intensity (projection & sillage):
(6 of 10) average
◙ History:
It starts with citric, lime-skinned tones, which disappear within 3-5 minutes after spraying. Then the full body of the fragrance opens with its iridescent and spicy vanilla tones. The base, which develops after many hours, remains on the skin of the wearer like a coating of sugar icing.
The sweetness increases even more as the fragrance progresses. The citric nuances give way quite quickly and make room for the spicy-dry carnation, which somewhat displaces the vanilla.
As the fragrance progresses, however, the vanilla catches up with the clove tones, leaving a somewhat floral, sun creamy biscuit scent in the base. With this the fragrance also fades away.
◙ Endurance:
Plenty. 5 hours + and vanilla reverberation that lasts many hours longer.
◙ Flacon & exterior design:
Flacon quite nicely designed with elliptical basic structure and contrasting edges.
Cover sits very tight and clicks strongly when snapped in. But it is made of plastic, which still feels valuable. A kind of blue plastic cabochon is attached to the lid.
Packaging consists of cardboard and has a metallic silver embossed lettering.
Presentation and concept quite simple in pale metallic blue.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________br />
◙ Description:
All possible and conceivable vanilla nuances come together here. Light vanilla, dark vanilla, powdery vanilla, baking vanilla, synthetic vanilla, tart vanilla, sweet vanilla, dry vanilla, fresh green vanilla, roasted vanilla, spicy vanilla, fresh vanilla, pudding vanilla, coconut vanilla, bourbon vanilla, Madagascar vanilla, vanilla fudge, caramel vanilla, etc.
Icing sugar and the scent of biscuits join in and light floral body lotion tones pass by.
An inner image is built up in thoughts of a happy family with small children playing around on a large cotton blanket on a wide sandy beach. The sun is already slightly near the horizon and the warm orange tones have coloured the clouds and the sky. The children point to the sky and say that the angels are baking cookies. The parents are happy about it and hug each other tenderly and look at the sea. The large masses of fine powdery sand are illuminated by the reddening sun and a golden play of colours appears.
The suntan lotion is put back into the bast picnic basket and an adherent drop is spread on her husband's forehead. It was a wonderful day at the beach
Sitting in the car on the way back, the mother takes a few rolled apple pancakes filled with custard out of the basket and gives them to the children.
In principle a fragrance for the whole family.
◙ Occasion:
Free time, Day at the beach, Sunbathing, Outdoor pool, Picnic, Cuddle hour, Family outing, Coffee klatch
◙ Season:
A summer scent for me, midsummer. This because of the cosmetic vanilla scent, which reminds of sunbathing and sun milk. Others classify it in the Advent and Christmas season, which is also possible.
◙ Age recommendation:
Even suitable for children. For all age groups and also sexes.
◙ Similare & Scent Twins:
none known
◙ Associations:
Beach holiday, vanilla, pastry, sun milk, biscuit
◙ Other:
Family fragrance reminiscent of fine, luxurious sun milk with vanilla extract.
Lime, heliotrope
◙ Heart note:
Carnation, cotton candy, mace
◙ Base note:
Vanillin, tonka, amber, sugar, roasted almond, cedar, a touch of eugenol

A summer scent for me, midsummer. This because of the cosmetic vanilla scent, which reminds of sunbathing and sun milk. Others classify it in the Advent and Christmas season, which is also possible.
◙ Age recommendation:
Even suitable for children. For all age groups and also sexes.
◙ Similare & Scent Twins:
none known
◙ Associations:
Beach holiday, vanilla, pastry, sun milk, biscuit

Hildegard of Bingen and the herbal monk
Top note:
Basil, various herbs, volatile alcoholic extract (white rum), menthol
Heart note:
Sage, rosemary, fennel, fresh grass, apple mint, bitter orange, clover
Base note:
Vetiver, something slightly coconut-like-mint synthetic as fixator (Clearwood?)
________________________________________________________________________________________
Range intensity (projection & sillage):
(5 of 10) average
History:
Initially, in the top note citric-herbal (although it seems to be the essential herbal oils, which are easily confused with citrus species) I easily perceive the citric plants, as well as the herbal freshness.
The heart note joins the top note very quickly. I also partly have the impression of very young fir needles because of this herb-heaviness. Here the fragrance awaits with its green herbal heart.
A light impression of liquorice and liquorice comes perhaps from some kind of fennel, if it is present. Also a kind of coconut breath is added. Still in the heart note there is the alcoholic tincture character.
In the base the herbal character is preserved and all freshness flows into a slightly showery vetiver-sage-honey-menthol-herbal-spice carousel
Endurance:
Many hours. But doesn't necessarily last until the next day. This is toilet water and not perfume water with a stronger concentration.
Flacon & exterior design:
Class flacon from very heavy glass. Sides are lacquered black with a beautiful wrought-iron pattern often seen as a garden gate. On the lid, which is very heavy but made of plastic, four flying swallows are engraved which together form a kind of cross. Unfortunately the otherwise well made lid does not sit very firmly on the spray head. It wobbles a bit and you can't lift the bottle at the cap. Could fall. The bottle is simple and angular as it is appropriate for an essence. Cardboard outer packaging.

Description:
As for the fragrance itself, I would like to mention the association with Hildegard von Bingen. That alone is enough to describe the fragrance in all its facets.
The fragrance is something for allotment garden fans, for Paulaner, Franziskaner and other monks, househusbands who like to cook with kitchen herbs. For the vegan as well as the meat eater who likes to marinate in herbs.
Those who love unripe, fruity rosemary and unbitter sage, sweet fennel, chamomile and other herbs will love L'INSOUMIS. Guaranteed.
The "insubordinate / unruly" is absolutely not fitting! At least not without knowing the context. In the Middle Ages, many monks probably smelled like this.
Perhaps one could be asked whether one would not have stood too long in the herb garden. This is quite possible, because the scent is just very spicy and fresh.
A wooden chopping board with a mountain of freshly picked kitchen herbs from the lovingly planted garden on it. The whole thing is then carefully sliced and chopped up in a good mood and prepared with vinegar and oil, or grated on a greased chicken breast, or even vegetarian zucchini cut into slices, onions added, a dash of white Burgundy or Veltliner added to the pot and then slightly steamed.
A monk from the monastery catalogues rare herbs. He plucks off a leaf, puts it in his mouth and chews on it. He writes something down on the thick handmade paper in the slightly tattered book with leather cover. He then sits down to relax at the wall piled up of stones and drinks a tea from the mysterious home-grown plants.
L'INSOUMIS is joie de vivre and fun in the garden and with food and cooking.
It can happen that the water in your mouth runs together.
You get hungry for a fresh salad or something vegetarian.
It could also go well with cat or dog owners. I strongly assume that this scent could also jump pleasantly into the nose of the quadrupeds. The animals do not like strong citrus scents or lemon waters. Herbal-heavy or musk is rather inclined towards the animal.
Although with certain types of musk or beaver horny the dog could become ratty ;-o
Occasion:
Garden party, beer garden, excursion into the green, walk, wellness, barbecue, barbecue, hiking
As office fragrance, for business and business or nightlife to attract attention, the fragrance is completely unsuitable.
Season:
Spring, summer and autumn. Garden time = suitable.
Age recommendation:
>30
It's too boring for young people. Maybe interesting for a young botanist or biologist.
Similare & Scent twins:
