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. Opening note: 9 Sillage/Projection: 9 Drydown: 9 Longevity: 9 Blend/Composition: 9 Versatility: 7 Uniqueness: 9+ Value for money: 9+ Bottle design/Aesthetics: 6+ Overall experience: 9 Blind-buy rating: 2+

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.

Shocked and satisfied. I think I was the targeted audience for this. Unbelievably realistic guava nectar/ juice with a smooth leathery drydown. This is such a random fruity gem. I was so confused when I sniffed it first because I couldn't recognize the fruit but I know at some point I was looking for it, but then when I noticed the first note on here I knew what I was sniffing at immediately. The guava in here is REAL. Besides the guava, the leather note is also nice. It's a drop of quality and bitter leather with fruity and sweet guava, the note balance is just "👌" and "🤌". Masculine leaning Unisex and unique DNA. A good summer reach. Fruity enough for summer and leathery enough for the Winter. It's also somehow strong, somewhat inoffensive and smooth as well which is even more surprising. Ended up joining my collection, will be layering and blasting this everywhere until I'm sick of it. Edit: I keep loosing the cap, it's so frustrating. They should really change the bottle cap design, including the name, i mean "pink to pink" and "unisex" really?

The fact that this scent scored such few votes on Fragrantica's approval system is an absolute CRIME! This stuff is scrumptious - bright, fresh, fruity, citrusy, sweet, floral, vanilla...a very happy fragrance. My bottle just came in the mail today, and already it feels like it's a quarter empty, because I've been absolutely dousing myself in it! It's AKIN to fragrances like Mix:Bar's Sparkling Hibiscus (and truly, the first word that came to mind was "sparkling"), and MM Replica's Never-Ending Summer. This was a blind buy for me - I was seriously contemplating getting a bottle of the original Ajwad, but when I read the notes on Pink to Pink ( interesting name), I changed course, though the OG is still on my list (if only, as one commenter stated: "Layer it with OG Ajwad. Sexy AF!") Overall, this is a great spring and summer scent (or if you live in a long dark winter climate like me, the perfect pick-me-up for those winter doldrums). Not only that, but the bottle is gorgeous, and of course the atomizer is perfection. This one's a keeper!

The notes on Fragrantica are incorrect. The official notes are; Top Notes - Red Fruits, Lychee, Guava Heart Notes - Vanilla, Roses, Lily-of-the-valley Base Notes - Musk I’ve had Pink to Pink for a while now and can tell you that it is not for the faint of heart. It is a Guava centered fragrance that slightly leans towards mango at the opening. It has a subtle gasoline smell at the opening as well, but this quickly vanishes creating a unique fruity accord that is not similar to anything I have in my collection. Listen, Pink to Pink is BOLD! Very strong! Very intense. Now, in terms of projection, I haven’t gotten much (more like a scent bubble) but the staying power on my clothes cannot be played with. It lasts for days! I will allow this sit more hoping for the sillage and projection to get activated. This is a solid new release from Lattafa. Again, you must love Guava to enjoy Pink to Pink. Also, the Cap still pops off, just like in the original Ajwad. So be very careful.

I tried this in store (the girls working there weren't especially prepared) and had it described to me as a smoked grapefruit bomb. It did smell mostly like grapefruit with some leathery undertone on the paper strip. And I love grapefruit... I decided to order it online to save some money and what I got is very different but oh so good. It starts as a mouthwatering, fructis shampoo adjacent, strangely synthetic fruit explosion. I've never had fresh guava, only juice, but hey it smells exactly like the juice. It has a sour edge that I love and find mouthwatering. It completely bypasses the listed flowers, and settles into a leathery, slightly smoky, definitely oudy drydown - the sweetness of the fruit keeps jumping out here and there, though. I find it to be very addictive and special, and it also lasts ages. Pity the bottle looks so damn ugly <3 edit: got to try oud maracuja today, and this is a pretty decent dupe for 25€...

Pink to Pink is memorable!! Its scent is likely to linger on your clothes for a bit so even if you weren’t thinking of it, which you will be, the fragrance experience is hard to forget. Part of what makes this perfume altogether different from every other nondescript, yet playful tropical-fruit dominant fragrance in your collection is a serious leather or gasoline vibe it’s got going on beneath the surface. That contrasting combination of levity and edginess takes it beyond what is familiar and safe- especially for people who like simple but beautiful things. That’s why this perfume isn’t for everyone. If Pink to Pink stayed superficial, if it were just a luscious guava mango explosion, everyone would like it. But it’s not that sort of perfume. It’s built for people who find beauty in strange places.

Why does this fragrance have such low reviews you may ask? It is simply because mostly women have been drawn to purchase. It's a similar situation to Billie No. 2 where the fragrance is done extremely well, but it appeals more to a male demographic despite the packaging, bottle, and representation. Getting back to this fragrance... it opens with an extreme dose of a wonderful guava/grapefruit smell that is unique based on the fact that I've never smelled something so similar to pure guava juice. Give it about 30 minutes to transform to a niche level musky, animalic leather scent with fruitiness in the background. WOW! This does not get the attention it deserves! It's an absolute beast as well. I put it in my top three of Lattafa fragrances.

This is definitely a polarizing fragrance. You must like the smell of guava because it dominates this scent from start to finish. The opening is pure guava, once it settles into a dry down of guava, fruit, smoke and suede. The suede and smoke is not overpowering to my nose. Also no fish, no plastic, nor gasoline coming through with my batch. It's an absolute beast. On skin I could smell it for over 12 hours, it lasts on clothes until the next wash. Sprayed on my t-shirt and had a snooze on my sofa a few hours after. I could detect whiffs of guava on my sofa even the next day. Wow. The performance is amazing for the price. So I definitely love it. Tastes and perception are different, so definitely try before you buy with this one.

Yes! Guava explosion. I get no gasolines or nothing of the sort. Juicy, tart but not too much. Realistic. Way more refined than what OG Aswad was coming off the box. Should settle into more greatness, with time. Edit: ATTENTION ALL GIRLY PEOPLE: this surprisingly leans not so girly from the leather (it even feels oudy even tho its not listed) - i generally dont gender fragrance but i feel like i must protect people from all the “pink to pink” vibe - its not THAT pink. Kind of like in the same sense that Delina Exclusif turns a bit butch if you know what i mean. Tomboy-coded. Edit 2: smelled Oud Maracuja and its a really 85% close dupe.

I’m obsessed with this one. The guava note here is so freaking realistic... it’s INSANE🔥🔥🔥 Also I do detect Oud, it’s not barnyard but it’s definitely animalic. This reminds me of Maison Crivelli’s Oud Mararcuja but a fruitier & juicier version. Another brand (niche) can easily sell this fragrance for $200+ ... Grab this!!!! It’s 100x better than the OG Ajwad. I hated the OG Ajwad due to the extreme metallic note.

Blind bought this perfume and sprayed it in the air and all I can say is WOW! First note I picked up was Guava which I never smelt on a fragrance before but its overpowering. Once it sets in, it smells like grapefruit. Smells very fruity and tropical overall. Reminds me of the Escada parfumes from the early 2000s which I LOVED. I hope it lasts long on me.

This is a sour fruity leather blast of a fragrance. The citrus and guava project immensely off the skin after the initial spray. The leather definitely comes through shortly after and brings this fruit bomb to the dark side. Spray with caution. This one is loud and fun. It's reminiscent of summer nights and tart tropical cocktails.

To my nose, this is mostly Azzure Aoud. But it opens with a superb grapefruit note that is reminiscent of Light Blue Forever. Though the name and presentation say "feminine," this is really a unisex fragrance. So, male or female, if you like both of the aforementioned frags, then you'll probably like this.

blind-bought this because i love oud maracuja but do Not have that kinda money. i dont think they really smell that similar, but this IS lovely. people aren't exaggerating about the guava, but i get a lot of warmth from the leather and pink pepper in the drydown. very happy with the gamble.

Beautifully blended guava made brighter with accompanying citrus/lychee, with a deep, faint and playful leather scent, love this on the ladies, when you want to smell fruity and uplifting without smelling juvenile

I love this. I love moss and ambergris. Mixed with these fruits and flowers it is very feminine and at the same time very sexy. Very sexy féminine because of the edgy animalic notes. Wow.
