What wearers say
“This one is what the note breakdown says : florals with coconut. The opening is a blast of fresh coconut, jasmine and flowers. It is not overdone, not screechy and after the opening, it dries down to a really pleasant scent of bright yellow flowers and the coconut tones down. Year round frag that some men could pull off but it is mainly feminine.”
“Very nice scent but I have to say I love Lattafa.They did it again with this beauty.Coconut opening with musk. Then the orange flower and tiare blossoms comes trough.Really makes me think of a African drummer.In a very beautiful way.À very warm and flowery scent there is something tropical about it.I can see me wearing this in the summer.It needs some maceration I think.I hope it stays a long time on my skin.Will update for the longevity.”
“Got this in Lattafa’s Pride box and it genuinely smells like a mosquito repellent to me. Extremely synthetic and not pleasant at all. I’ve let it mature for a while but nothing really changed. Could just be me or a bad batch though.”
