Ana Abiyedh Poudrée

This Perfume's smell in the dry down similar to "Prada Candy", but without caramel, however "Prada Candy" more pure powdery and here you feeling with a little of synthetic fragrance in a nonoticable way, not offensive or loud, Patchouli and cedar exists in the background. Powdrey, clean, mesk fragrance with Benzoin and Vanilla overwhelming the base not, hence, benzoin not mentioned in the ingrediants, but it's very clear to my nose. I adore to wear it in winter or Autumn seasons rather summer and any time during the day or at night. It lasts 12 hours or more on the leather and one day on the clothes. In General I advise anyone going to buy any of Lattafa perfumes to macerate it from 2 - 3 mothes then start to use it, beacause the maceration make the pefrume ingrediants to be harmonizes together. I adore this feeling of feminine, Classy, Calmness of this perfume and I'am very happy to find perfume similar to "Prada Candy" with less price. I think it would very suitable for layering with any Gourmand perfume or any perfume contains caramel note. رائحة هذا العطر في القاعدة تشبه رائحة "برادا كاندي" ولكن بدون الكراميل، ولكن "برادا كاندي" أكثر نقاءً وبودرية وهنا تشعر بقليل من الرائحة الصناعية بطريقة غير ملحوظة وليست مزعجة أو صاخبة، الباتشولي وخشب الأرز موجودان في الخلفية. رائحة البودرية النظيفة والمسك مع البنزوين والفانيليا تطغى على القاعدة، بحيث أن البنزوين غير مذكور في المكونات، ولكنه واضح جدًا لأنفي. أعشق ارتدائه في فصل الشتاء أو الخريف وليس الصيف وفي أي وقت خلال النهار أو الليل. يدوم لمدة 12 ساعة أو أكثر على الجلد ويوم واحد على الملابس. بشكل عام أنصح أي شخص ينوي شراء أي من عطور لطافة أن يعتقه لمدة 2 - 3 أشهر ثم يبدأ في استخدامه، لأن التعتيق يجعل مكونات العطر أكثر تناغماً معًا. أعشق هذا الشعور الأنثوي والأنيق والهدوء الذي يمنحه هذا العطر وأنا سعيدة جدًا بالعثور على عطر مشابه لـ "برادا كاندي" بسعر أقل. أعتقد أنه سيكون مناسبًا جدًا للاستخدام والخلط مع أي عطر شهي غني أو أي عطر يحتوي على نكهة الكراميل.

I received this in the mail today and straight from shipping, I am OBSESSED. (put a bunch of hearts and stars and exclamation points after that bc thats how I feel) This is soft and sweet and gorgeous. I took a shower and sprayed this on and let me tell you, this feels like a soft, warm cashmere pashmina draped over my body. Im a person who doesnt walk around naked other than after the shower, but with this lush, beautiful pillowy sweetness caressing my whole body in a mantle of the most beautiful (and CHEAP! I spent $11 on a full bottle) scent Ive smelled in a LONG time, I dont know - its hard to explain, but I feel like Im fully dressed. Like.. clothes are an unnecessary encumbrance, and Ive got all I need to be happy. Now, will I go outside and flash the neighbors with my saggy body that nobody needs to see? HECK NO. Just saying, this perfume makes me feel complete and I dont think thats something Ive ever said about a fragrance before. I've been searching for that feeling for a very long time. I have probably close to 400 frags in my collection (I need to get back to adding what I have to my profile here) and I have never felt this way before. Its a great feeling. Dare I say, I *almost* feel like I could happily part with everything else in my collection for this. I need more. Moooooore. MORE!! Im probably going to come back here later and add more information, bc I dont know things like longevity and sillage but I can say, this smells SO GOOD right now that its probably not going to last very long. Dang it, I wish Id snagged more when it was on sale! Bottom line: if you like soft, sweet, sensual, comforting and warm, Poudree is your girl. I love her so much and we just met! I feel SEXY, and beautiful wearing this.

If there was a spectrum where one point was Glossier You (pencil shavings and musk) to Prada Candy (caramel and musk), Ana Abyedh Poudree would sit closer to the original Candy, but with just an extra hint of that dry iris woodiness that You has. It is also closeish to Candy Kiss, but Candy Kiss actually sits closer to You in my opinion. The point is, while all of these fragrances share some overlap, none of them are dupes. La Mia Perla from La Perla is on this same rainbow of musky-sweet-woody-nutty-iris scents as well, but again, not a dupe of any of the others. Maybe a venn diagram would be more appropriate? IDK I am not a math person, my degree is in literature & languages. Anyhow, Ana Poudree is my 2nd Ana Abyedh fragrance from Lattafa, and I love her just as much as I love Ana Rouge. I think I am just going to have to get them all now. The performance of Poudree, as with Rouge, is amazing, there is good silage and the longevity is so impressive for a scent that runs $20-$30 USD. Right out of the box it smells amazing, and I am just blown away by the quality. This is a clean, refined (not mature or outdated) classic scent that anyone could wear for any occasion. It is a powder bomb, but it isn't as scratchy of a powder as you'd find in Narcisco Rodriguez or certain other brands. Think more along the lines of a classic powdery scent that smells like a beautiful woman's boudoir. This beautiful woman just so happens to be a hell of a bargain, but does not in any way smell cheap.

I don't remember if I had reviewed this or not, when I first got it last spring. When I first got this, it was a screechy type of powder, and white florals. I didn't hate it but it wasn't love at first sniff. I used it for a week or so and moved on. It has been sitting since then until today. My bottle was produced in 2022, for those that are curious. I was reading reviews for Celine Black Tie after watching a YouTube video on fairy like scents. I was super intrigued and came onto here to read reviews on Black Tie. When I saw the reminds me of section, I saw Lattafa Ana Abiyedh Poudre. From what I could recall, I didn't remember Poudree being a soft, orris vanilla. From what i remembered, it was a screechy, not well blended powder/white floral bomb. Well, to say that I am surprised is an understatement when I sprayed Poudree today. It is GORGEOUS and definitely an ethereal and fairy like scent! It is now sweetly powdered, with delicate purple florals, with a sweet vanillic background. It sounds like the reviews of Black Tie. I was so close to ordering Black Tie, but it is out of stock. For now, I am happy with Poudree. It lasted about 6 hours on me with 4 sprays. Gorgeous bottle too! Be careful not to grab the cap, when you grab for the bottle. Mine doesn't snap on tight. 8/10 for me.

I've often perused over comments where people wrote about 'maceration' vastly improving the longevity of their fragrances. That had never been my experience with Western/ Middle Eastern fragrances until Ana Abiyedh Poudree. I went through this bottle in 3 weeks and the longevity ranged from 1.5hrs during the first 2 weeks to >24 hours on clothing in the final week of ownership, and I wasn't just shocked, I was 'shook'. In terms of the scent, let me disperse the white elephant in the room - it has a synthetic bearing. Every Lattafa fragrance I have owned or sampled since 2020 has had a synthetic vibe to it, adding to a lack of clarity on the quality of ingredients used or duration of maturation before bottling, I've come to decide to apply these fragrances solely to my clothing. Other than being synthetic, it is a veritable powdery vanilla cloud. When you think of powdery fragrances, white, pink or purple forward florals come to mind. Not in this fragrance. Yes, there are very present pink roses and musk, but they do not seem to determine the powdery nature of this fragrance. The powder seems to be dominantly vanilla, made fluffy, musky, rosy feminine and tonka sweet by background player notes i.e., rose, musk, tonka and orange blossoms. A definite love for my books.
