Ajwad Pink to Pink

I was not expecting this at all, and it completely caught me off guard — looking at the listed notes, I assumed it would be another throwaway, forgettable scent. I usually buy perfumes like this for fun on Amazon, knowing I can easily return them risk-free for a 100% refund after a single test spray. I was so wrong — this one shocked me so much that I decided to keep it. It's rare for me to review a fragrance immediately after receiving it, but this is truly a singularity. The opening is an energetic, sun-soaked explosion of grapefruit, guava, and all kind of other tropical notes. These fruity accords are impressively realistic and juicy, almost as if you're smelling the real thing, with a slightly fermented edge. Shortly after, a sour, animalic oud emerges, adding an unexpected twist. There's even a hint of something fishy or raw, but not in a bad way — it's an incredibly unconventional experience. It's nothing like the typical skanky oud; I can't say I've ever smelled anything quite like it. It's not comparable to the usual poopy oud too; this one defies description. Later, strong floral notes come through, as if a heap of flowers has been laid over the fruit like a floral bouquet blanket, creating a lush layer. Magnolia stands out, in particular. The complete drydown intensifies the leathery accord, complementing the animalistic side of the scent. Ambergris, with a salty note, and animalic musk are also pronounced. There's something almost primal about this stage. What's truly fascinating is how seamlessly this bold composition holds together. The scent does have a synthetic element, but not in the cheap way you find in some Middle Eastern fragrances. I do wish there were more of a gasoline note here, as I love that in perfumes, but unfortunately, for me, it's missing. I think others may be associating the skankiness with something petrol-like. Still, everything blends together shockingly well. It even brings to mind tropical candies or sparkling sodas, though I can't pinpoint a specific one. This fragrance works year-round, but in warmer weather, you'll need to be cautious with the dosage. It's incredibly strong — an absurd beast mode scent that lasts even through the final drydown, and even then, it remains potent. The opening is so intense it almost burns your nose, triggering a sneeze. Longevity on clothes is several days. I'd call it unisex, leaning slightly feminine, though I'll definitely wear it myself because it's such a unique scent. It's an incredibly creative composition. The bottle design is obviously a copy of Nasomatto, but the cap is terrible — it doesn't fit at all and falls off. However, the packaging is beautiful, and I'll definitely find another use for the box. Comparisons are tough, but perhaps the only thing that comes to mind is the tropical vibe of Afnan Turathi Blue, particularly the grapefruit, but limited to its fruitiness. Lattafa Blue Oud might be just as strange as Pink to Pink in general. I think I wanted Lattafa Masa to smell like THIS, but it was super weak. Based on reviews alone, before buying it, I could already tell this is one of the most polarizing perfumes out there. It's a top contender for the blind-buy list king — starting from the bottom. The completely undeserved 3.46 rating on Fragrantica is also one of the worst I've seen. I guarantee that if you buy this, you'll be the only person in your area and beyond wearing a scent like this. It's an absurdly niche fragrance that smells as if it should be absurdly expensive. One of Lattafa's most hidden gems. Bravo to the community for further obscuring it with an extremely low rating.

After having this for a week now i got to say that i truly am in love with this, I also don’t think this is leaning feminine and the box and colors will gaslighting a lot of you the only reason I picked this up is because i am in love with that fruity oud combo after owning Passionfroudh-fugazzi and itqan gold -zimaya i started to look at btso black guava and mango which lead me to lattafa pink to pink a sour guava with a little bit of rose and leather to my nose this fragrance has nothing to do with anything Oud maracuja clone or inspo due to the oud not being present to my nose like it is many others who reviewed this fragrance and tbh im so jealous i cant pick up any oud scents the oud in itqan gold is so bread like like warm bread with passion fruit same for passionfroudh once the mango and tea settles with a Smokey faucet When i wear this i pick up guava and grapefruit almost the whole duration while others like my coworkers smell more leather on my skin vs the fruits i was told its more of a skin scent on me but nothing like gasoline or BO i do not think this is blind buy safe could be due to a lot of ppls diffrent ph and leans more unisex masculine leaning a lil dont let the bottle fool you men from picking up this orginal from lattafa 10/10 Edit: woah 3 weeks and i love this even more the Reviewer that wrote about this smelling like blood and iron is so correct I totally get that on initial spray now like being in a room where someone was about to eat a guava and grapefruit with sugar than BLAM! Its a crime scene you smell the blood and smoke in the room , after your taken to a clean all leather prestine car while they roll down the windows smell of salt in the air reminds you of the blood stinging almost, this stuff is crazy and totally not blind buy safe I still don’t get oud :(

I picked up my bottle a year ago. When I first smelled it, I hated it — the scent was like eating a guava on a farm. I let it macerate for about four months, and the dirty, farm-like sheep smell disappeared. At that point, I began to fall in love with this fragrance, and every time I wear it, I love it more. I think it's quite a misunderstood scent. It's an edgy fragrance, not for the masses. You wear this if you have a punkish type of style — it's something you wear to make a statement, not to please others. It's a very realistic guava scent, with leather and vanilla at the base. The quality is great for the price — it doesn’t smell cheap at all. In fact, it has a kind of niche-quality vibe. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so if you have the chance, try it before purchasing. I love the packaging (it looks more expensive than the price point), but it fails to communicate what the fragrance is about. It’s not “pink” or girly — Crimson, Dark Cherry, or even Black would be a better fit. And for the name, something like "Rebellion", "Fearless", or "Raw" would suit it better than Ajwad Pink. This is beast mode. On my skin, it lasts more than 12 hours, and the sillage is wide. It opens with a strong guava, and as time goes by, the leather and vanilla become more prominent. In the final drydown, it's like a sweet leather jacket with guava. I love this fragrance because it’s original, edgy, high quality, and budget-friendly. It’s suitable all year around, day and night — except for hot weather — and it’s also unisex. I totally recommend it, but try it first. I will not repurchase this again because I have a collection of more than 100 bottles (I want to enjoy the other perfumes I already have.), this one is not in my hall of fame. Nevertheless I'm gonna enjoy it until the last drop.

Okokok.... Here's the dealeo with this fragrance. First thing you wanna do before you apply this to your skin is clear out the straw! Spray it as an aif freshner in the car or house etc.. It's gonna smell very strange in the air. Then when you have it all cleared out and its pumping from the bottle ,spray it on skin. Remember this is GUAVA!! This is not supposed to smell like expensive amber saffron ouds. This is ajwad it's low in cost because it's not using expensive nor complicated ingredients. People are getting burnt tires and gasoline. I smell what there saying.BUT !!!! I believe what they were trying to achieve was a dramatic potent over over ripe guava and thats exactly what im precieving almost fermented. That's what the gasoline smell is comming across as. That's what the leather note was intended to do. ( I think) And with all this ,it's actually pretty awesome!! It's different its not a juvenile fruity scent from bath and body works. And pretty realistic guava. I see there are reviewers saying its generic but I have to disagree. I grew up on mango, pappaya, and guava before I had teeth and this is guava!! Not a safe blind buy especially if your not familiar with guava. Then again for 20 bucks, try it's not that serious. If you hate it, sell it. Problem solved. Enjoy!

The bottle represent the colour of the fruit of Guava. The opening is a burst of GUAVA, a photorealistic of how Guava actually smell and taste. Garuda Indonesia (Indonesian Airlines) always serves (FOC) selection of juices on their flight, i always go for their Guava juice with ice cubes (from Buavita..it is so yummy). Also i love guava juice from the packaging (from Mazaa if you live in Netherlands you know what i meant). Later on i thougt i also smelt a lighter version of "Opulent Red" from Lattafa, where i can understand why people get the gasoline smelling from. I was dissapointed because i have opulent red and hardly reach for it because it is a very strong, indolic white flower which kind of knock my socks off and make me nausea. I let Ajwad Pink to Pink sit for few days and now i can not have enough of it, thanks God it is way fruitier and more juice rather than flowery. For €15 is best money i've spent on a parfume, it layer well with "Sublime" from Badee Al Oud and "Maboussin Red" perhaps also any other fruity base parfums. I even considering to get another bottle as back up. It is a 💝 from me.
