Lattafa Perfumes Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition Eau de Parfum

This product is of excellent quality and completely corresponds to the photo and description. The packaging is fantastically beautiful, with a glass bottle covered in gold - it looks expensive and luxurious. The scent is typical, oriental, and very spicy. I read reviews about rose and caramel notes, so I decided to try it, but unfortunately, there was no hint of them. My first impression was that I had stepped into a Feng Shui shop. It smells exactly like strong and long-lasting Eastern incense (it stays on clothes for two days, although it becomes slightly softer but still spicy). For me, this is the smell of home, not of a person. This is my first impression after unpacking it; maybe the scent will settle and change, but for now, it's not for me. I bought it for 607 hryvnias from the EU, and it arrived in 5 days.

I just arrived, but I am already completely immersed in it because it's so beautiful. "Beautiful" is not the right word, it connects with me and becomes a part of me.

Now I will write about its characteristics. Firstly, it is Opulent Oud and Root Almusk from Latafa. It has a bright and pleasant oud scent. Over time, it smoothes out and creates a harmonious combination of resin, honey, and propolis. For about two hours, I can smell it on myself. It is very similar to Honey Oud from Montale. Sometimes, the scent of rose echoes. It disappears and reappears. That's the kind of fairy tale it is.

In my opinion, this product is simple and effective, and it lasts for a long time. However, I don't use it because the scent is too overpowering. Instead, I decided to use it as an air freshener in my lady's room.

Very sweet and deep, almost like the scent of sawdust mixed with patchouli and rose - just arrived. Heavy - maybe it will settle and relax and play differently? For now, it is only annoying and giving me a headache - I'll give it time to fully reveal its beauty. For now, 3 stars.

This is a true, spicy, Eastern fragrance, with a hint of gourmet sweetness. I did not detect any associations with the smell of beer or brewery. There is a light shisha smoke, resinousness, a beautiful saffron aroma, a touch of rose and woody notes, and spices. This is exactly how many wooden boxes made of expensive wood and coated with good lacquer smell. It is a luxurious Eastern scent.

For me, this fragrance is a delightful blend of sweet honey, spices, and woods, creating a beautiful and enchanting scent. It is dense and rich, evoking the essence of the East. The longevity and projection of this fragrance are remarkable, leaving a deep and captivating aroma. The bottle itself is stunning and radiates elegance. I absolutely loved it. Thank you, MAKEUP!

The fragrance is wonderful, it's a bomb. I liked it from the first spray. But unfortunately, it has zero longevity and projection. After half an hour, even people around me can't smell it. Maybe they also make counterfeits in the EU. It's a pity because the scent is really worthy. The delivery, as always, is excellent.

Perfumes in the oriental direction. The longevity and sillage are impressive, they last "loudly" for 5-6 hours and then gradually fade. These are definitely not your light, fruity fragrances, they are quite bold and noticeable. I can detect a note of diesel in them, reminding me of the fuel used on trains. At first, it is very prominent for about 10 minutes, then becomes barely noticeable but still present. Surprisingly, it doesn't ruin the scent, instead, it adds charm. Additionally, there is a subtle smokiness. These perfumes are great for the cold season, but I think they can also be worn in small doses during the summer. The first time I sprayed 4 times, and it turned out to be too much, overwhelming even. So, I recommend 1-2 sprays maximum. They are wonderful perfumes for lovers of the oriental direction and worth every penny, as they sound much more expensive than their actual price. By the way, my husband is quite a connoisseur, and he rarely likes my perfumes (I'm a perfume maniac, always having at least 7-10 different bottles), but he liked these. Therefore, I recommend them.

They say it's very similar to the Lancome's fragrance bouquet! What do you say, those who have bought it?

Out of 10 bottles of Lattafa, I have kept only this perfume for myself. However, before you rush to make a purchase, let me mention that the scent is quite unique and carries a hint of machine oil. But I actually enjoy this note because I am not a beginner in the world of perfumery and I appreciate unusual fragrances. I find myself constantly sniffing my wrist.
