Al Nashama captures the fresh citrus opening and creamy ambroxan-driven heart of Paragon quite well, though with slightly less refinement in the transitions. The base note structure is similar, but Lattafa's interpretation leans slightly warmer and less transparent, making it feel somewhat denser and less airy than the original's sophisticated composition.
Al Nashama has slightly shorter longevity (5-6 hours vs 8+ hours) and a warmer, heavier projection compared to Paragon's cooler, more ethereal character. The ambroxan prominence is comparable, but the clone's oud base feels more prominent and less balanced against the floral heart.
What people who wear Lattafa Al Nashama report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“The fragrance itself smells good, however the longevity leaves much to be desired! Not the usual from lattafa coz most of them beast out after maceration, however thia one remains a dud in terms of longevity n projection. It is Paragon / Vintage radio but poor as hell longevity n sillage! Be cautious!”
“Al nashama is awesome! It's sweet and warm , very cozy! My most complimented this year.great in heat great in fall.price is reducing from the original asking price so I will be buying another also just purchased the blue caprice its on the way im sure it won't be dissapointing.enjoy!”
“The plum note makes this lean a little more feminine but still definitely unisex. I kind of like it! Kind of sexy! I think if the leather note wasn't as noticeable it would lean too far feminine for me to rock. A nice fruity, leather opening that kind of reminds me of "Afnan Rare Carbon". This is not the same as "Lattafa Vintage Radio". Vintage Radio is supposed to be an exact clone to "Initio Paragon". This is a "Paragon" twist with an added leather note and no palo santo. Projection and sillage average but awesome longevity.”
