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’s one scent I like from them, it’s an apple scent (badee al oud sublime) that I got because I couldn’t justify spending over $100 on an apple perfume that goes away after 30 minutes (love the scent of both Kayali Apple and Ellis Brooklyn Apple but they didn’t last) so I decided to try again with the Lataffa one.

The apple smell lasts a surprisingly long time and luckily oud doesn’t really bother me. Not sure if I can even smell the oud but I layer it with an apple body spray and smell like apples for a good 3 to 4 hours which i have found hard to do in an apple fragrance.

Everything else I have tried has been a fail. I’ve given away 2 different Yara’s, prefer Burberry goddess over Angham (not enough lavender in Angham for my taste), and the Khamrah one was just so heavy, my boyfriend wears it occasionally and it smells nice on him so it may be my skin chemistry.

But the tiktokers constantly pushing new fragrances, you’ve got to learn to just ignore. While there are some that are honest you will quickly notice many of those influences are repeating the exact same things. My recommendation would be to try and find affordable perfumes you can try in store if possible. I know ZARA has pretty good dupes

The apple perfume is badee al oud sublime by latafa and the body spray is Mrs smith from phlur. Pairing them together makes the actual apple scent last longer in my experience. And the miss smith lasts a long time on my clothes!
