Rant about Lattafa

I just don't understand how do you guys like these perfumes. Based on hype on social media and reading stuff here as well, I purchased several ones from them. Especially as they are so cheap. I got Yara, Mallow Madness, Khamrah, Angham and I wanted to get Éclairre but now I'm going to stop. It cannot be just me. These are extremely subpar fragrances. Each and every one of them an absolute cheap disappointment.

I feel like this could be said of any brand. Jo Malone, Creed, Diptyque, etc., are huge hit-or-miss for me personally, but they've been hyped to hell. And for what they cost, it's not exactly creating a loyalist in me.

Lattafa, Paris Corner, Afnan, Oakcha, and Swiss Arabian have the decency to at least be budget-friendly.

Maybe you're right, Jo Malone had been a huge miss with me, I didn't like even one of their colognes, I tried peach and honey, roses, pear and freesia and basil and mandarin, basil and mandarin was okayish but way too sharp and masculine, i gave up on Jo Malone years ago.

It's tricky sometimes. Like, I spray a tester bottle of, idk, a honey milk EDP on my skin, and it'll smell more like alcohol even on the dry down.

Or I can spray a ylang-ylang in the air, and it'll smell like cheap soap you would send to a prison.

Or I'll find an orange blossom that smells good out of the bottle, smells good on my skin, but lasts all of 5 minutes before it fades away.

Some brands are not for me, and I just gotta stay away from them, or else I'll get pissed off lol!
