Lattafa Opulent Red – Eau de Parfum

So this was a blind buy, and I did not read comments first and Im glad I didn't. I read the comments the day after ordering, and I admit I was worried I wasnt going to like it. Thankfully I actually love it. Its smells amazing especially after dry down.

This lattafa 🥰😍omg i love this one .I had to add it to my collection,you should too.you won't regret it .long lasting and it's reasonable

This last so long smells wonderful !!!!

It smells so good

Nice!

Olor Fuerte. El frasco es lindo.

This is such a beautiful scent. They picked the right color for the bottle because the red reminds me of the scent that I smell. It's a soft floral scent, but I only could smell it on the dry down. When I first sprayed it, I some how didn't smell anything. Within 10 seconds, the scent was there. I love it. This is a good blind buy for me. The bottle is beautiful and there was no leakage at all.

I own quite a few Lattafa perfumes. This one is definitely in my Top 3! HOWEVER, I would say it's not for everyone. The scent is very strong and packs a punch when you enter a room. It lasts for days ... literally, close to 72 hours. So if you're looking for a dramatic, unique and elegant scent, Opulent Red is for you. Just be forewarned....once it grabs you, it won't let go. I say, be daring and go for it! It was a blind buy for me and I absolutely love it!UPDATE: Now that I've had this scent awhile and have since acquired many more Lattafa perfumes, this is by far my least favorite. It's had time to macerate and all I get now is a strong incense note. I would not recommend Opulent Red to anyone, unless you're searching for that vibe.

This was recommended as a great clone alternative to Polo Red. It’s really not. It’s very, very floral & feminine. If you like rose-heavy cologne that smells like a botanical garden, this one’s for you!

I imagine an old church lady wearing a bright red coat getting ready for Christmas services. It’s just too old lady for me. Get the fruitcake and champagne ready because that’s what I thought about with this one……

I’m absolutely in love with Lattafa Opulent Red! The scent is so rich and luxurious—it’s perfectly balanced for both men and women. It starts off with this beautiful mix of fruity and floral notes that feel vibrant and classy, then settles into a warm, spicy finish that lasts all day. The bottle is gorgeous too, which is such a nice bonus. For the price, you really can’t beat the quality and longevity. I’ve gotten so many compliments wearing this—it’s definitely a keeper in my collection!

*Edit*After letting the perfume sit for a week, I absolutely love it! The pink pepper note has blended into the fragrance and is nearly undetectable. I do smell it a small bit in the dry down, but now it blends almost seamlessly with the leathery smell. This did not need to mature long to become a gorgeous fragrance. I’m very happy with my purchase and love this perfume.Initial Review:This perfume was love at first sniff for me, but things quickly took a bit of a turn as it dried down more, which is why I knocked off one star.When you first spray this perfume, you get the blood orange, tuberose (which here smells like extremely fragrant orange blossom and some jasmine), and a soft, feminine leather note. I typically don’t enjoy leather or suede scents, but in this formulation I thought it was lovely and unique. The floral notes are incredibly sweet, sticky sweet almost. I don’t agree with this being unisex, it smells very feminine in my opinion. Some people say Opulent Red reminds them of Mugler’s Alien. I can see why. The heavy sweet florals are reminiscent of Alien. It’s not a dupe by any means, but they have similarities. I think the best description came from a reviewer who said it smelled like what they imagined a Louboutin would smell like.However, after about an hour of wearing OR, and enjoying the scent on my skin, the scent changed and all I could smell was pink pepper. An overwhelming amount of it. After two hours of riding out the pepper scent to see if it would change, the scent made me feel like I would get a headache if I didn’t wash it off. I HATE heavy pink pepper. This perfume PROJECTS. And the sillage is insane. So I went from getting strong whiffs of an enjoyable scent, to nasty pepper. I washed it off my arm, and the scent was STILL there. I had to wash it with soap 3 times to get the perfume off of me. I’m letting it sit for a week or two to see if it’ll transform and either stay the beautiful scent I originally smelled, or transform into something better. I’m truly hoping letting it sit helps, as I love the smell before the pink pepper takes over. They really had a gem here, but overdid it by throwing too much of that note in, like many fragrance houses are presently doing.All in all, this is NOT a safe blind buy, even if the scent doesn’t change for you. I also wouldn’t suggest this for anyone who doesn’t enjoy leaving a scent trail. People will smell this on you when you enter a room.

After reading the reviews I was very hesitant about ordering this. Now my taste in perfume is very eclectic. My collection goes from sweet , spicy , gourmand , and everything in-between. I either love a fragrance or want nothing to do with it. So I crossed my fingers and ordered it. When it came , both the package and the bottle were very pretty. Then I sprayed 2 pumps to my arm. The first impression was a mild orange and berries mix. Then it started to get a floral touch with vanilla. It has been 5 hours and it is still going strong. No hint of gasoline.

If you are not into Oud fragrances from Mid-eastern perfumes, you may not like this. I started my journey 2 years ago, looking for perfumes that are not sold in local department stores. The House of Lattafa was my first stop. I like everything I've purchased because I am looking for different. Learning how to layer and cut the Oud fragrances with oils has really helped understand how to wear these fragrances from over seas. Opulent is definitely a cool fall or winter scent. I purchased it in the summer and immediately second guessed my purchase. I have learned to respect perfumes and wear them during their appropriate seasons, this is one of them. Either you will like or not. It's not sweet, it's very mature and the dry down is intoxicating! People who are brand new to MidEastern fragrances take your time to understand the notes. Heavy Oud perfumes I always soften those with an oil, it gives it a whole new appeal.

This fragrance is not, I repeat, NOT A Safe Blind Buy!!!I have been anxious and slightly afraid to try this scent because based on the reviews I've read, you will either hate it or love it.This is very bold, expressive, unapologetic and mature. I can see how it would be placed it in the same fragrance family as Mulger Alien, but it doesn't smell like a dupe to my nose at all.I think if you like Mugler Alien, Lattafa Ajwad, Tom Ford "Fabulous", Zara Ebony Wood then you may enjoy this. I own all of those fragrances so I love this and will experiment with layering them to see what I can come up with.This is not very sweet or gourmand to my nose at all, so I'm thinking of pairing with either Dark Cherry & Amber by Banana Republic or Milk by Commidity and see if they compliment each other.I purchased this during this summer but it would be too cloying to wear in this Texas heat, so I will save it for the winter months.

This one is pretty hard to describe, it's very different. This is not a safe blind buy, this is not mass appealing, this is a strange one for sure.I can honestly say, I don't have absolutely anything that smells like this. I totally get the alien essence people speak of, but this isn't as rich as alien, or as beautiful. This is not a dupe of alien by any means, but it smells a bit similar. And, I totally see why people say it reminds them of gasoline. The conac mixed with some of the other notes, definitely gives off some similarities in that smell, but not in a bad way.What's really weird is, getting whiffs of this in the air,smells really different than when you stick your rose right up on it. In the air it's sweeter, fruiter, etc. But up close it smells more medicinal, and a bit harsh, it's rather strange. I've never encountered something like that before.Because of the mix of notes, I can't pick up what I smell first, last, etc. I think I need more time with this one to really break the notes down.It's one of those things you'd just have to try for yourself,especially on skin. But I highly recommend trying to find a sample/decant.
