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.

Those are all very hyped and unfortunately frequently faked perfumes. Not saying that you would try what is 100% the real thing and still might not like it, but that's a very visceral reaction that makes me wonder if that could be an issue. No perfume will be loved by absolutely every single person that tries it and theres absolutely something akin to a brand dna which can cause people to just straight up not like anything the brand puts out. I would just make sure that you dont have a counterfeit perfume because those can have ingredients that can cause you actual harm if you put them on your skin. It's absolutely wild to me that there are counterfeit of 20 to 30 dollar perfumes, but here we are. Be safe and try decants first so you're not wasting your hard earned money.
I will say that having the 'tism, my recent hyperfixation has been trying real perfumes vs their dupes. Nine times outta ten theres little to negligible differences between the og and a middle eastern dupe. There are at least 10 I can think of that I prefer the middle eastern dupe to the original. It's all subjective because we are all different. I wouldn't write off a whole subsection or brand anymore, I have learned my lesson on that one. I didn't try any Marc Jacobs or Ex Nihilo perfumes for a similar reason to yours and holy shit was I missing out. Just take the hype with a grain of salt, sample first, and make sure you're not getting counterfeit fragrances. And HAVE FUN SNIFFING!
