Lattafa Hayaati Gold Elixir – Eau de Parfum 100ml

I wanted to love this one, but they are still in their maceration era. Sadly even after a couple months of maceration MY nose is picking up a heavy roach spray note followed by leather, musk and amber. None of the freshness or juiciness of the fresh citrus or peach come through.It is a very dry and metallically astringent perfume. That harshness does disapate after awhile and it becomes a softer sophisticated musk scent, but it absolutely does not reflect the fragrance notes listed.3-4 hours of longevity on the skin. This is a non-binary fragrance and can be worn by anyone in the second half of their life. I do not recommend for young people.The bottle is beautifully presented and feels upscale, larger, and heavy. I'm hoping after some time they will smell as beautifully as they present.

This perfume will be in constant rotation. It smells so good and lasts all day. I receive so many compliments when I wear it.

I've used this for about a year now and I love it, it was a bit strong for me at first but I continued to wear it and within a week or so I was used to it and it's wonderful. Long lasting and present without being like oh my gosh you're drowning in it. Not overly feminine, I believe it's unisex so may be why, but beautiful just the same. I get complimented on it all the time. Definitely my most praised and noticed scent in my cabinet. Box was beautiful, bottle is sturdy and well made.

Smells so good

I am a woman and I have over 309 fragrances. I'm an avid collector/hoarder 🤭 fraghead.This is STRONG! Very masculine leather/smoke/cigar scent.**I have a fragrance identical to this called Ajayeb Dubai.It's very strong. Headache inducing on first spray. I may have to go outdoors to apply this.I would layer this with khamrah or vanilla scents in the fall/winter.It's a like not a love and only for fall and winter. I think it will smell nice on my hubby!!!!!

The opening has zero grapefruit and bergamot. Some vanilla, amber, leather, peach, a little musk and a hint of saffron and cassis. If not for a slight sharpness you'd say there was no citrus at all. If the citrus were a lot more pronounced I'd go along with the folks saying it reminds them of Armani Code Profumo. But for me that's a plus because the synthetic bergamot oil Lattafa and so many others are using smells like Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid powder and irritates my sinuses. Nobody is sexy with a runny nose. It does come off like it has a weak oud note like Khalis (Pure Oudi) (after a while the Lattafas all kind of run together).It's pleasant enough. Not masculine or feminine. I over-sprayed, by a lot, on skin and clothing to get any projection. You'll definitely have to respray this at lunch. It's an EDT at best, not an EDP. That said, it's pleasant enough, safe for the carpool, elevator or office. Okay for a date, especially if your date dislikes strong scents. I doubt it would hold up well in hot weather. If you prefer subtle leather scents, as opposed to the strong ones like Tom Ford Ombre leather, Tuscan Leather, this would work. It's less leathery than Ana Abiyedh. I think that makes if workable for women as well as men.
