 Lattafa Perfumes){kind=link}
doormat – :
Lattafa are more hit than miss with me.
This is one that misses.
It just doesn’t work well with me.
I have been wearing it for two days and I’m only really getting a hell of a lot of bad breath ambergris and a very tiny amount of cinnamon.
No more or less.
I let my dad use it and it smells the same on him too.
Such a shame but I’m glad others are having better luck with it because I’m usually very happy with this house.
On the plus side it was very cheap (£10 on 14/7/18 from Ebay. British seller who I’ve bought other Lataffas from) and it came with a small deodorant aerosol which is much better.
The presentation is superb.
Edit 26/9/18
I always assumed that allowing air into the bottle by spraying juice out of it also introduced oxygen molecules which starts to degrade the remaining fluid.
However, I have read accounts here from other people who say that allowing the juice to “air” allows the scent to mature and get better.
Is there any milage in this theory?
I ask because using this fragrance last July, letting it sit for two months and then uses it again has resulted in a more pleasant experience which I think is not solely down to my expectations or perception.

I have a 2016 made bottle genuine seal packed. Its beautiful cinnamon based fragrance… Mild scent very mild infact.. Perfect all weather.
Longevity is fr 2-3 hrs..
Projection – 1hour mild to moderate
Very personal scent..
Sophisticated..
Beautiful fragrance no doubt.
But I wish projection was good fr atleast 2-4 hours 🙁

Whao! Was completely blown away by it’s awesomeness,and to make it better it’s very affordable. It last too,wore it in the evening and woke up the next day and the smell was still very strong
serggolod – :
I have to give this one credit as it’s very unique as far as what I’ve got in my modest collection plus from what I have smelled in general.
It’s so close to being unliked by me that I’ve found that I love it, it’s so overpowering at times though I can’t seem to get enough of it, it’s not something that I’d wear outside of my house but I do anyway, it’s something that I should perhaps only wear occasionally but I seem to find plenty of occasions to wear it, I should really pass it on to somebody else but I’m not going to.
It’s has such a paradoxical, contradicting, influence on me that no other fragrance has had and that really makes me enjoy this one, the love hate that I can’t help but love ha.
This is very potent stuff!
Emesyimmift – :
A real disappointment. No hint of oud whatsoever, a very sweet, very strong cinnamon juice. Is it named PURE OUDI to fool people? What a mess! I got it last evening and sprayed a few puffs gleefully and aaaaughhhhhhhhhhh it got me vomiting…….going to bin straight away. Such a waste ….. save your self this worst experience if you are an oud -lover
dima_killer – :
It has a smooth, creamy thing to it that waters your mouth with floral sweetness that makes something tough like Oud/Cinnamon to melts their hearts and become one. Which gives us astounding great smelling fragrance, which lasts for days on clothes, my room had this amazing smell from my shirt and I kept that poor guy act as an air freshner for 48 hours, the whole weekend.
Received 4 compliments soon after 10 mins of application and some after 6 hours.
Drydown gets pretty linear, similar to Ferrari Essence oud but with the sweety, ambery note to it.
Worth the bucks, pretty cheap, good for oud starters who likes sweet kicks to it.
Wetosss – :
Well fellows,,, hmmmm..khalis pure oudi from the house of lattafa.
SMELLS LIKE A FRESH NEW LEATHER SEAT OF LUXARY CAR WITH wOODEN INTERIOR ( with Cinnamon car perfume in it)
This is how I felt on first spray..it ozzes richness.
Cinnamon. CINNAMON is taking the entire load of making this scent a niche one as well as sniff addictive entirely upon it self.
It requires about 5 to 6 sprays to be constantly sniffed by your nose. But if I can sniff it so do others (that’s my logic of sillage) and till now it works preety much well.
Guys there are literally Cinnamon wood chips kept in the bottle so it overall sums up the smell.
Smells royal, spicy Cinnamon sweet woody trail lingers around you and keeps u believe that your are a billionaire.(joking)
satyricon – :
Lovely sweet incense. Unisex but leans toward the masculine side more.
slezer – :
This perfume is the best in its class, affordable, smells Money, Luxurious and Oud that can be tried for first Timers.
It has a powdery, Creamy, Sandalwoody, vanilla and cinnamon Vibe to it.
People who dig woody perfumes shoud try this, it wont disappoint just don’t dig this in a hot and humid day, you can choke yourself out.
The cinnamon sticks in the bottle gives a very authentic feel of old school perfumery.
slayerleha1988 – :
I totally agree with Cherry-Darling. A delicious high end smelling spicy, sweet oud fragrance. A cheapie that smells high end!
Yes, it is quite oudy but the sweetness and spices are just as strong. With time the spices seem to get stronger and the oud a touch softer. Its not that sweet which makes it quite unisex.
Yep, don’t wear this in warm conditions or it will overwhelm you and anyone standing nearby. Fabulous in cold weather. Moderate sillage and longevity.
MBluxury – :
I love this. I’m always surprised when I find something that is both amazing and very affordable. (10£/100ml!) Very rich oudy woody spicy and sweet. I love it. This is definitely something I would buy. It’s a scent you might find in a fancy bottle at harrods for 15x this amount.
AN.ALECSANDR – :
Who ever wants to swap this with something else or buy,PM me,my bottle is 95% full.I live in Greece
mgq566elipseskism – :
Khalis Oudi opens up a little sharp with guaiac wood, oud, cinnamon and cedar. After about thirty minutes the scent settles down and the above notes come into balance with amber, creamy sandalwood, and musk for the remainder of the scent. A little floral. A little sweet. A little soapy. All of the notes in Khalis Oudi are well balanced. Nothing dominates here. I would call this a woody amber fragance. To me this one is unisex though I do think it suits an older, mature person. Best during the fall, winter and spring.
Longevity is good. Two sprays to the chest give me about twelve hours. Sillage and projection are average. While I’m wearing the fragrance it feels like it’s pushing out hard but I haven’t had many people notice it. No compliments yet and honestly I don’t really expect many.
The bottle glass is nice and thick. I find the cinnamon sticks floating in the juice very elegant. The gold lettering is a little tacky but maybe I’m just being picky. Sprayer works pretty well. My bottle came with a spray deodorant that I’ll never use.
In the west you’ll stand a little out wearing this. While guaiac wood and oud might be off putting to some this scent uses them a bit more subtly than others. The price, performance and scent are all very good. It smells expensive and refined. This was a blind buy for me as I’ve never seen it anywhere. Solid eau de parfum!
octava – :
received it just now. This opens with blast of cinnamon and synthesizes subtle oud and amber . cinnamon is dominant enough.
longevity moderate
Sillage moderte
I wonder why is it moderate being EAU De Parfum.
7/10
laxyNanty – :
I received the bottle today and my first impression was how can this be oud beginner – friendly, well actually it is after the first 20-30 min as it becomes less harsh on oud and musk and leans more towards florals, soapy and amber scent, although oud can still be smelt and combines beautifully with the above notes. I smell the cinnamon, sandalwood and noticeable animalistic black musk which are very prominent in the top notes. Dry down is more sweet soapy, and I can smell jasmine there. It is a bit sweet but not sickly and it is just enough sweet. It reminds me of a high end oud perfume but I cant point my finger at it (yet). I’m wearing this for an hour now and I like the scent it’s giving so far, not sure of the sillage as I’m getting accustomed to it but will need to run a comparison with other heavy oud perfums I have and will write an update. For the price it’s excellent and I prefer to have many of these than to buy one very expensive bottle from a designers range. Very nice presentation, simple, sturdy and the cinnamon pieces add a nice touch. It’s not a western type of oud, it retains the middle eastern vibe and this cannot be missed either.
Update: As others have suggested, the sillage is not strong although it stays on the skin for at a minimum of 12 hours (mine at least). The skin scent I smell is mostly of black musk.
AlexSoccer – :
25ml EDP, from UK, made in U.A.E
Floral (I get rose and citrus), powdery, soapy, light, pleasant. Some light wood and floral oud notes.
As with all Arabic fragrances, be ready to let the perfume settle down the first 30 minutes, and try several times, as the new palette may be surprising. I find I like Arabic and Indian perfumes more after several applications with some time in-between.
I love the harsher Wood Intense, so this may be for those looking for a smoother floral/amber/woody fragrance.
