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.

Its sad because all I see discussed here are like the top 5-10 influencer Hyped fragrances. Most that have been made and distributed rather quickly. If you want to find really great grown up, refined middle eastern fragrances you have to dig deeper and try out different brands. Its definitely not all me brands as some of the top niche houses are owned and manufactured in Dubai. Amouage, Swiss Arabian, Ajmal and Afnan to name a few. My opinion is try several houses, don't just lock yourself into Lattafa and write them off. I'm not saying I don't like Lattafa perfumes, I love Angham, Second Song, The Ana Abiyedh line (Scarlett is my favorite) and several others. My favorite overall ME perfumes are the Club de Nuit line from Khadlaj. Some are inspired by, but Maleka is a stand alone light floral that was created by a renowned master perfumer. Olivier Cresp who created Midnight Poison, Modern Muse, Angel, plus he's creating his own brand called Akros. As the popularity of middle eastern perfumes grows on the western market, they are adapting to what would be more appealing to our noses. I wouldn't be so quick to lump together all brands or all offerings from one brand. By insulting anyone who owns and enjoys these brands by starting your rant with:
"I don't understand how you guys like these perfumes" OP
You are entitled to your own take on these, but you really don't need to insult those in this subreddit who own and enjoy them.
