Trantüte66

Even if the bottle is reminiscent of a shower gel from the 90s and at 250ml also has as much content as a corresponding pack, it contains an aftershave cologne... and it smells, and zar great, I think. It is clearly in the direction of a very well-known Davidoff cologne, but it is not as fine and a little soapy. There is also a certain menthol freshness kick, which can be a good addition to a shaving soap or shaving cream with menthol, especially after shaving in the summer. The durability and radiance are surprisingly good for an aftershave cologne. However, due to the reasonable price and the quantity offered, restraint is not necessarily required when applying...Give it to him or her is the appropriate motto...
The fragrance is not very subtle or playful, rather straight forward, which suits the character of the pack and the shave well.
So if you're looking for something fresh with a touch of nostalgia for after shaving, this is certainly the right choice. The various Arko varieties can often be found in Turkish supermarkets, even if they have become rare there recently. If you can get hold of a bottle, you can't go wrong for around €5 or less and start the day fresh.

Yes, chocolate is in the start, rather the bitter kind..but sweet and also tender.
But from the beginning:
It is an aftershave that contains excellent care substances in addition to the fragrance. Micro-injuries after wet shaving are closed quickly and without "burn" and only the fragrance.... which is what this is actually about....
Chocolate, sweet and bitter, Cuban-Caribbean notes with a slight hint of spice and rum. The slightly tart hint of incense is also present in the background. In combination with the identical scent of the shaving soap, this makes for an excellent start to a Sunday morning, when shaving after a shower is the first highlight of the day. In combination with the pure chocolate, there is also a truffle cream, a kind of melting, similar to ice cream confectionery.
As far as I know, the fragrance is only available as an aftershave and shaving soap, but not as an EdT or in any other form as a pure fragrance.

Ha, an oriental without oud and without saffron or leather...but with plenty of fruit instead.
It is a little reminiscent of Creed's famous representative, but here the pineapple is clearly in the foreground and the focus. The citrus notes, which are also present, and a sweet and tangy undertone are all rather secondary. The fruit is rich and ripe and dominates the overall experience. Pineapple all in" is available here for a really small price. Even if there are other pineapple fragrances from Lataffa and this scent is certainly presented in a finer and more intricate way in fragrances from other manufacturers, for me this fragrance is a summer and sun scent par excellence. For the price, you wouldn't expect a real "fruit extract" here and the whole thing is clearly synthetic. However, this is not a disadvantage as far as the fragrance itself is concerned.
Why it is marketed as a men's fragrance remains Lattafa's secret, as it seems to me to be really suitable for fruit-loving Danes. When sniffing the scent of a fruit, who looks at who is holding it in their hand...
It lasts, at least for me, from "after the shower" to "under the comforter" and also has a good range. If you spray discreetly (2-3 puffs), you can also wear it "to the office"; if you want to leave a clear impression on a warm summer evening on the terrace, spray more. However, he or she will have to put a plate of sliced fruit at the coffee bar for colleagues to snack on during the day...
You can tell I like it, even if, for me at least, it is clearly seasonal from spring to late summer.
Now if only I knew where the cocktail umbrellas had gone...

I have to admit one thing: I like him, even if he comes across as rather a bit angular and harsh....

But from the beginning:
Long ago bought blindly and without reading anything about it beforehand, just out of curiosity. Also, I wanted to know if Armaf provides a similar good quality as Lataffa (at least in my experience so far). Uhhh... am unsure....

First, about the exterior:
Simple but sturdy, in the upper removable part velvet-covered round box, the bottom piece of which, where the fragrance is, is covered with imitation leather. Visually nice and compact.
The bottle is round, made of thick glass and has a sturdy black lid that fits tightly and has a rich "click".

The fragrance :
Cardamom....Cardamom and spice, dry cinnamon note in the background, but also subliminally myrrh. For me, the cardamom dominates on the skin and somehow a great dryness.
The whole thing has nothing flattering or pleasing, rather something dominant and also clear, which already radiates neatly and is not discreetly gentle. One (s) must want that and consciously choose for themselves. Not exactly suitable to join as a crowd pleaser in the office next to the other Sauvage carriers...but that was not the goal...
Somehow I have associations with a spice market abandoned half swallowed by the desert, where a bag of forgotten cardamom pods withers in the sun and the wind blows this fragrance just before sunset towards the campsite of a caravan.

The second thing I notice in particular is a discrepancy between what I sniff as a carrier and what people in the area tell me. For the bystanders, it is apparently not as tart and dry, as for me, however, the cardamom note is clearly dominant even for the "from outside sniffers". In addition, I was told that there would also be something slightly floral to sniff. This impression I have for me alone absolutely not.

So: not "nice", but good, at least for me.
And as for the comparison with Lataffa, I would say that at least the Lataffa fragrances that I know are rounder, more sophisticated and altogether finer, but I have from Armaf also only this one in the collection.
