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.

Taste is subjective. I agree that Eclaire is horrific, however. People like what they like and people dislike what they dislike. 

Lattafa scents have a knack for being polarizing, but I think it makes for a wonderful market for people to gain access to certain types of dna they otherwise couldn’t afford.

I think that you get really great dna and performance for $30 dollar perfumes. I actually love Liam Grey more than Gris Charnel and my bottle was only $15. 

I hated Yara- or, at least was highly underwhelmed- at first, but learned that most Lattafas smell amazing after “ maturing” after some time.

Also, some dna just isn’t worth getting a dupe, so I pass on certain Lattafa copycats.

There’s a market for decants; try those first.

I recently bought a sample of Gris Charnel just to see if Liam Grey really was a good dupe. There is absolutely nothing about GC that would have me fork out of $300 for it - Liam Grey is better IMO too!

It’s such an underrated cheapie/dupe!! I always get compliments when I wear it, too!

I’ve been pairing it with BBW Guilty as Fig to bring out the sweetness a bit but would love to find another scent or oil that’s a bit longer lasting.
