Harridan

Not at all what I expected. Starts with a burst of sweet plum and tobacco. Develops into a warm, sweet and spicy scent with a hint of gentle cooling mintyness. It’s NOT a realistic, herbacious, barbershop mint - rather, it’s a drop...

I tend to really like fragrances with notes of sage and vetiver but this one is just... a little uninspired. It smells like something you smelled before, many times before. If we're being kind you could indeed call it "a classic...

The Musc smells very clean in a way that distinctly belongs to scented cleaning products rather than personal fragrances or even home fragrances. It starts bafflingly milky and screechy at the same...

Interestingly enough Teriaq smells more like a latte than most perfumes with coffee listed in their notes. Mix of burned caramel, bitter almond, honey, labdanum and leather notes blends bitterness and sweetness in a way that creates a very reaslistic...

I tried Asad Bourbon as a part of Lattafa's Discovery Set vol. 2 and it turned out to be my second favorite, following behind the brilliant "Teriaq Intense /ترياق | Lattafa / لطافة" . Asad Bourbon starts off strong:...

It's truly incredible how perfumes can instantly transport you to a different space and time. For example this perfume smells exactly like the inside of a car and instantly triggers my carsickness. Looking at the listed notes I expected this to be beachy...

For the first hour it smells exactly like orange Fanta. Afterwards it transforms into a vivid recreation of Nivea cream on bare skin. After four hours it’s completely gone. My partner laughed his ass off while accompanying...

This actually does exactly what it says it will do - it makes you smell like a warm, moist almond cake freshly pulled out of the oven. Unfortunately, it also helped me realise I don’t actually want to smell...

Nuit d'Oranger smells like burying your nose in the heart of a flower and sniffing hard, pollen flying in your face and all. It's a very warm scent that brings to mind a sweltering summer afternoon or a hot summer evening following an even...

This whole summer I was craving a sweet beachy fragrance that won't give me a headache and in September I belatedly found the perfect one - Aegean Bronze. To me it reads predominantly as a charming blend of frangipani...
