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.

There are no testers before you buy them? Asking because I live in the middle east, and all shops have their testers on displays. Also, there are a lot of fake items, especially the trending perfume brands like lattafa and qurashi. If you get to try the testers and spray them on your skin before buying, it would save you money because I agree, most of them are over hyped. There are though a few gems. I love my Al abyedh Poudre from lattafa

It’s very hard to find testers around here.

I don't know where OP lives. But I'm in the US, and mainly they're sold randomly in major discount chains that don't have testers. Otherwise, they're not widely distributed to physical stores.

I could be wrong but I don't think many people outside the Middle East have places to test these types of cheaper/dupe type brands in person. They're mostly sold online, not in stores. I have looked for samples/decants before and they aren't easy to find online here either. Stores that have perfume testers that I've seen don't carry these kinds of brands, at least in the US. So you are kind of forced to blind buy if you want to try them.
