After the Big Wedding
With this fragrance, I associate a childhood experience that took place at a wedding.
After several hours of celebrating, hundreds of well-wishes, and a large portion of games and music, there was finally coffee and pastries. Like every child, you rush forward and grab everything that comes your way :D
And there it was. That one piece of pastry.
The scent starts with the delicious-looking tiramisu, with a really good splash of amaretto.
It felt as if I were about to take a bite. Why do I remember it so well? I really didn't find it tasty (I was 13).
The amaretto note is the main player at first, until it calms down and develops into a good, freshly made coffee scent.
The coffee doesn't smell synthetic to me at all.
Surprisingly
In the dry down, the coffee bids farewell and transforms into a cocoa with a good splash of condensed milk.
This fragrance may not be groundbreaking, nor particularly spectacular, but it features various phases that have been developed really well and authentically.
As I am truly a huge gourmand fragrance lover, I must say that it is well-suited for everyday wear. It doesn't consist solely of sweet notes. It's not overwhelming and not at all penetrating.
I thank this fragrance for the leap back into the past, where there were pastries, coffee for the adults, and cocoa with condensed milk for the children.

A Fragrance for the Evening
Before I start, I would like to mention that there will be no comparisons with Angel's Share here. This fragrance is considered independently.
I ordered Intoxicate blind, as I enjoy trying out new brands. And I was not disappointed here. :)
I would like to start by saying that it is perfectly made for a romantic evening. It is a gourmand fragrance that both can wear.
It possesses a seductive, attention-seeking, attractive aura, which arises thanks to the sweet, fresh components in the top note. Unfortunately, during multiple tests, I could not detect any cognac.
You have the attention. ^,^
The fragrance is rounded off with further floral elements and a warm spiciness. In the drydown, the delicious vanilla/cinnamon mix comes to the fore and makes the fragrance what it is. A pastry that reminds one of an apple/cinnamon cake.
And here the seduction arises^*^
Anyone who loves sweet fragrances will find their satisfaction here.
Sillage/durability is okay, it has not yet matured. But it is not made for a party. It is even too precious for that. Much too elegant.
On the skin, it lasts easily 8 hours.
As for how the sillage actually is, I cannot fully assess it, as I really love this fragrance and quickly become nose-blind.
You have a recommendation from my side. :))

La Kirsche 1505
I consider this creation to stand alone without any comparisons in the realm of: dupes/blagiate or similar :)
It all started with a love for cherry, which my wife loves to wear. Then I discovered this masterpiece.
Curtains up for a very old, well-aged cherry liqueur. Is it from the 16th century?
The first 10 minutes after spraying it left me stunned. Really cherry liqueur, or is it homemade wine? At first glance, it is very masculine with not a trace of unisex.
It makes you want to take a sip right away. But let's stay objective. My preference has no place here :D
For the first 10 minutes, the cherry literally screams at me, you, and everyone standing nearby, until it quickly but truly calms down in a qualitative, delicate, and gentle manner.
Slowly but surely, the incense comes to the forefront. It helps the fragrance to truly unfold.
It becomes smoky and sweet. Without those alcoholic notes in the background anymore.
The transformation is complete and turns into a gourmand unisex scent, which becomes softer and more seductive.
The whole thing is rounded off with a spiciness that ensures the fragrance does not fade away. It is intensified, so the longevity remains significantly longer. A great autumn/winter scent.
The fragrance has an oriental/european touch, which I really like. However, a certain twist remains in my nose, so I can't quite say what it is.
Maybe a bit of vanilla? Or is it the balsam? Or a mixture of both.
After over 12 hours on my skin, only the cherry remains. Sillage is above average. About 5 hours. Maybe a bit longer, I quickly become nose-blind.
In my opinion, it is a successful product that a man can wear well without completely slipping into the feminine.
Although it costs between 40-60 euros at times, I would still say it is a great value for money.
Cherry for the man, cherry for the woman, love at first sniff, I know that for sure :)

Is it really that wild?
My second attempt at describing a women's fragrance. Let's give it a try
At the beginning of the fragrance, a delicious, fresh, and citrusy note makes itself known. Could it be bergamot?
The fact is that it starts off very sweetly and immediately invites vanilla to join the dance, which is present throughout the entire composition.
The vanilla unfolds its creaminess and provides a wonderful feeling of well-being.
It could also be a green tea with a splash of vanilla :D
Unfortunately, the fragrance develops very quickly, but I actually don’t find that too bothersome.
The scent is rounded off by a fine spiciness, which also helps the fragrance maintain its longevity and gain depth.
If I had to describe the fragrance visually, I would think of a fruit basket filled with several green fruits.
At the top of the basket are clearly the bergamot and a yellow lemon. In the end, a large amount of vanilla is poured out, flowing through all the fruits.
I have mixed feelings about this fragrance. It really starts off fresh and is great for everyday wear. With the vanilla and the slight spiciness towards the end of the scent journey, one might think it’s good for going out, whether for a birthday or to a restaurant.
What Lattafa has produced here is really good. For me, the fragrance, packaging, and bottle get a solid 7.5 out of 10.
At this price, you can't go wrong.

Fragrance Experience at Maximum??
Since I am really not a big fan of leather scents, I became very curious when looking at the fragrance pyramid of "Raw Human | Lattafa Pride."
A scent that is marketed as a MEN'S fragrance??
To be honest, I don't quite agree with that.
The fruity notes in the top note sing a completely different tune. Starting fruity, sweet, soft, and really minimalistic. The plum is the most noticeable, which remains present throughout the entire fragrance experience. And that really lasts until the end!!
The Osmanthus flower ensures that the leather/apricot notes come forward. They are so well balanced that you don't really perceive the leather.
Because it really stays in the background and, in my opinion, adds an extra portion of AHA.
It holds the scent in a soft, fruity, and simultaneously bitter way.
In the end, frankincense enters the dance floor. And it feels balsamic, soft, and smooth.
In the end, a delicious compote remains, which also projects really well on the skin and very well on clothing.
And so the fragrance experience comes to an end.
Thanks to the good coordination of the listed ingredients, I would describe this scent as a good, bold, and "try something new" fragrance that fits perfectly into the upcoming season :)
I would even go so far as to say that it is really suitable for the slightly older crowd.
(But everyone should wear what they want and what they like)
Why is no one talking about this fragrance? It's a mystery to me.
It doesn't always have to be loud, extremely sweet, or fresh. Minimalistic can also be good.
Packaging, craftsmanship really 1AAA
I am happy with this blind buy scent.
If I should be wrong, I apologize in advance.
Feel free to share your opinion about the fragrance under this review. I would be very interested.
This is my perception. This is my Raw Human, this is love at first sniff.
Thank you, Lattafa :)
