You hear so many good things and see them everywhere - the price-performance kings from Lattafa. They have great durability, often resemble bestsellers or are a phenomenon in their own right. And I try them again and again. Again and again I want to like them. I want to, but I just can't.

I always study reviews on Parfumo beforehand or look at reviews on the Internet. Everyone raves about it, the descriptions convince me. But in the end, the same disappointment follows every time - even with this fragrance.

The fragrance notes sound promising, but what I get is a blast of synthetics and a colorful mixture of different components. I can hardly classify the fragrance, let alone recognize the individual notes. And I notice the same thing every time: they are incredibly unbalanced. The notes stand out and barely calm down in the drydown.

I'm now wondering whether the problem lies with me. Am I simply too spoiled by the expensive niche fragrances? Of their harmony, their sophistication?

For me, the Lattafa journey ends here. I have given everything, tried everything. What doesn't fit, doesn't fit. But I'm pleased that so many others enjoy this brand. Maybe it really is down to me..

The majority of reviews point to a summer fragrance. They associate it with summer and everything it brings with it. I can only agree with that.

However, the coconut milk and vanilla give me a sense of security that reminds me of the cozy winter. Covered up and with a warm cocoa in my hand, I feel comfortable and safe. But even in summer, in the sun and with the sea breeze on my face, I feel this sense of security. And I wonder how the fragrance can smell like pure summer and winter at the same time?

Intense Tiare smells well-groomed and pleasant. No note is annoying, no one complains. A blind purchase is possible if you like creamy fragrances. This perfume also reminds me a little of the little I love... fragrances that used to be (or still are?) available in Dm. Everyone had them, everyone loved them. And it's the same with Intense Tiare.

This perfume combines the scents I love: jasmine & orange blossom. The notes sounded so wonderful, so I ordered blind.

Full of enthusiasm, I sprayed it on and froze. It smelled like sweat. Yes, actually like sweet sweat. I was disappointed and thought to myself why do they make a perfume like this and why does it have such good reviews. But if there's one thing I've learned, it's that perfumes that smell rather unpleasant at first are the perfumes that you somehow like best afterwards. I tested it on my clothes and on my skin. That was yesterday and today I can still smell it strongly on my clothes.
This perfume will not appeal to everyone and is definitely not a light one. I totally like it now after letting it sit for a while. It's beautifully floral and the jasmine is ever present. It's not a typical jasmine scent. A little heavier and more sultry. I find it very classy and a little older. The sillage and longevity are excellent. I think it fits wonderfully in spring and fall. Very mature, noble and sublime. A woman who knows what she wants and likes to share her life experience.

I can't smell them anymore, these synthetic fruity monsters called Erba Pura and Kirke. I get headaches and can't breathe. They hit me from all sides in the city. And since these scents were so popular, perfumers thought "let's put this DNA in all our perfumes". As a result, I no longer dare to try these fruit monsters, even though I would love to have a fragrance in my collection. But then I met Accento Overdose and was taught better. I would describe it as a more feminine fruit cocktail with gentle undertones that don't give you a headache. I imagine it to be wonderful in summer or spring. A typical Xerjoff beast fashion, but incredibly pleasant. It trickles compliments with this perfume.

I have had this fragrance as a bottling for 3 years now and will only buy it in large when I get married. That's what I swore to myself 3 years ago. And of course I'll keep it. Because this fragrance is the epitome of clean for me. It smells so beautifully floral, white, clear and flowery like no other. I find no perfume more fitting than love in white on a man or woman on their big day. That's why I'm waiting a little longer until my big day arrives. Then it will complete my collection and make for great memories. I'm already looking forward to it.
