Lattafa Al Nashama Eau de Parfum Spray for Unisex, 3.4 Ounce

Lataffa rarely if ever misses, some better than others, but always quality. This is FAR AND AWAY my favorite. I own YSL LNDL and this is better! YSL’s dry down is more complex, but this is a bit more in your face, and on my skin, lasts longer. Will be buying multiple bottles! Only thing is the bottle, or rather cap, is a bit large, and the bottle is oddly shaped. Phenomenal fragrance that leans masculine, and I think the ladies will love it!

This scent is spicy and a little powdery. I get asked often what I’m wearing. I wouldn’t call this unisex per se because it is more on the feminine spectrum. It wears well and lasts for several hours on moisturized skin. The bottle is pretty, does not leak but I will say this is large, awkward packaging overall. The fragrance itself gives you a whiff of a soft spice and it works well layered.

Al Nashama is inspired by Initio's Paragon and it's about 90 - 95% similar however this version leans slightly feminine IMO. It's a sweeter version of Paragon so perfect for females. If you're looking for a slightly masculine leaning version, I highly recommend Vintage Radio. Either way, you really can't go wrong with either version you choose. They're both fantastic fragrances. I think I paid around $30 for this bottle and I'm very happy w it. The value for money is out of this world, especially compared to the real deal. The bottle is kinda odd but what can you expect from a Middle Eastern fragrance? They're all pretty weird! All in all, I give this 5/5 stars for what it's trying to accomplish. Lasts a good 8 hours on my skin, even longer on clothes.

I would describe this scent as a flourmand, meaning that it has floral qualities but there is something gourmand about it. I have several middle eastern, niche and designer perfumes and this doesn’t smell like anything else I have. It bares slight resemblance to Sondos, if you like that you will enjoy this one. It is pretty sweet and it finely walks the line of being unisex, it leans a little feminine but a man could pull this off. My husband and I share it though he usually layers it with something else. It is very long lasting and quite dense but the projection is not beastly, I get a nice scent bubble and throughout the day I get pleasant whiffs of the perfume. I know some people exclusively want beast mode perfumes and those have their time and place but if you are looking for something that is classy yet alluring and can be a nice unoffensive day time or even a date night scent than look no further. I would say that this is suitable for all seasons.

Alot of compliments

Este perfume es divino, elegante y duradero. Tiene una vibra parecida a Dior Sauvage, pero con un toque más oriental y cálido. Sin duda lo vuelvo a comprar cuando se me acabe.—-This perfume is divine — elegant and long-lasting. It has a vibe similar to Dior Sauvage, but with a warmer, oriental twist. I’ll definitely repurchase it once it runs out.

The opening is SUPER close to LNdL, I get the prominent cardamom and bergamot. However, the ginger is non-existent at the opening and the overall scent leans a little more powdery/talcy owning to that very prominent lavender. Lavender is definitely the most prominent note which, as mentioned, gives it a powdery feel. This also gives it the shaving-foam vibe which is reminiscent of the OG (YSL-LNDL).This fragrance becomes a skin-scent once it completely settles and that mode lasts another 3 hours. The great thing about the final dry-down to a skin-scent is that the Ginger makes an appearance at that stage...which is kinda weird. The skin-scent drydown of this frag becomes a soft cardamom-ginger on the skin that is subtle....but alluring to anyone within hug-range of you.Overall performance was 7 hours before it couldn't be picked up any more.I reckon the frag will become more powerful as it sits...all Lattafa fragrances do.

It las only 3 hours
