Alya

Oh how absolutely gorgeous Alya is! Fruity, tropical and so fresh. Call me crazy, it smells like Creed Aventus for her. Slightly tropical with hints of chocolate on woods. With something undeniably fresh through and through. Smells like apple or birch or pineapple, smells like that unique Aventus DNA. I could say it was perhaps inspired by it as it is not a dupe. Or like a Creed Aventus Her Red Edition where they would add strawberry, chocolate and many goodness listed here. All I know Alya smells phenomenally good, no harsh scent, no chemical scent. I am so happy!

It s beautiful, it a better richer sexier version of haya from lattafa, all year round, when i first got it i was very dissapointed cause i only smelt flowers with some fruit but after a while i get the gourmand aspect, it s a sweet chocolate fruty, think strawberry but not a candy fake strawbery, a rich pure one, dipped in melted chocolate. It s not that type of gourmand offputting by the flowers like you d feel you re eatting roses but it s not a fully edible cookie cake gourmand either, it s a perfect combination of sexiness and femininity

Update: 4/4/23 so I’ve had this maturing for 4 months and it’s so much more beautiful & rich than when I first tried it. This time I don’t detect much fruit. I get a smooth amber wood, floral mid notes & a touch of saffron & rose and a base of vanilla & clean oud. It’s truly a beautiful scent. It reminds me of CH Saffron Lazuli and TF crossed with TF Noir de noir. I think this one is just going to continue getting better with age. It’s smells far more lazurite’s than it costs. What a bargain. Definitely for the cooler Fall days & for winter. 12/12/23 This is a very woody fruity floral fragrance with clear fruity top notes. There's an ambery scent about it, almost as if there is a slight touch of oud. It's a very oriental, middle eastern perfume. It reminds me of something else I own, but at the moment i can't remember. I'll update after it's had time to macerate and see what come of it.

Ole' is listed as a reminds me of fragrance-- It does not start out like Ole' but does resemble it in the deep dry down.. Both have completely different opens and mids..

It took me a while to realise that this reminds me of Ramon Monegal’s ‘Ole!’. This is your affordable dupe.
