Angham

One of the best smelling perfumes I’ve ever had the pleasure to buy. I have only seen a couple other reviews on the internet mention anything remotely like this so it may be just me, but what I smell with Angham is a very rich lemon poundcake. The vanilla is turned up on overdrive and blended beautifully so don’t think I’m getting strong lemon. It may be the citrus from the mandarin and the ginger mixing that’s making me smell lemon. The vanilla is very warm and creamy, not cheap smelling at all. The opening is more citrus and I get some of that lavender but the vanilla is the star all the way through. The pink pepper is also there in the opening but not strong. The praline and cacao come out more in the mid and by then the lavender is pretty much gone. The end is pretty much just the the vanilla. The only issue I have is performance. Right out of the box I sprayed 4 sprays on each arm and man was it strong, for about 3 minutes. After 5 minutes it was pretty much a skin scent. My boyfriend had came home 10 minutes after I sprayed and he picked me up to get groceries. At this point I’m about 15 minutes in after spraying and I’m an inclosed car with him. I asked him did he smell anything and he said no. I didn’t either. I put my arm to his nose and asked him again. He said he could smell it now but it was very soft. 15 minutes being a skin scent is wild. And that’s being generous because I couldn’t smell it much after 5. Its been about a month and I’ve figured out how to wear this perfume. 20 sprays...minimum. I usually go about 25. I know that sounds crazy. I have other fragrances and I spray 2-3 sprays and that’s strong for me. The only place this perfume sticks to really is my hair which go figure isn’t a great place to put perfume on daily. I try to put it closer to my roots where the oil is protecting it more and the sun doesn’t reach. That helped but I don’t recommend it to everyone. Clothing doesn’t even really hold it well. It’s been about a month and 1/4 of my bottle is gone with a backup bottle also bought. I think it’s maybe me gotten a bit stronger but not a lot. Weirdly though once you get past those 20 sprays this performs pretty well, pretty moderate to well protection and about 4 hours of good longevity. Reapplying after hour 4 with about 4 sprays is a good idea if you can. Honestly with how amazing this smells and how it’s priced I may just buy a new bottle every couple months. I originally bought this to save money because I love Burberry Goddess and couldn’t justify the price point with others saying it doesn’t last long, but here we are. Will probably not save much with how much spraying is needed. I will say though that this smells very similar to Burberry Goddess. When I sprayed it I definitely thought that it was eerily similar with the vibe, but this smells better than BG to me. It’s like they made BG more interesting. This scent may mature and get stronger with more age, so I may test that with my other bottle by spraying it while letting it sit a while using my currently used one. I wouldn’t change the formula to get stronger juice if that means altering notes or overall smell. It’s a fair trade off for me to have a perfume that smells this delicious. I have gotten a compliment at work with my 25 sprays asking what I’m wearing and that it “smells really good”. Confirmed genuine bottle with batch codes matching and genuine Lattafa 3D QR code that brings you to the website. Box texture looks legit and from verified seller.

I bought this perfume at Chemist Warehouse in Chatswood, Sydney, yesterday. After a lot of initial sprays, I removed the alcohol. The perfume came through. On my skin at 6 pm, I could still smell it faintly at 7.30 am the next day. I smelt this delicious chocolate & vanilla smell. On my pyjamas, I sprayed it 6 times at 9 pm. It was strong in the first 2 hours, then it softened. I resprayed it 3 times at 10 pm. The next morning, the perfume, with my body heat, amazingly and unexpectedly projected strongly. I loved that the perfume was deliciously strong. The sillage and projection on clothes are remarkable. It would definitely last days. I love the unique music (melody) and the gold-embossed bottle. It sprays easily. When I compared this perfume to my Burberry with Angham, I could smell these notes: Ginger, Mandarin, Pink Pepper, Lavender, Praline, Cacao, Jasmine, Vanilla, Amber and Musk. Both of these perfumes smell very similar due to their notes. Angham is definitely an excellent dupe for Goddess. Angham is blended very well; a sweeter vanilla, caramel, cocoa, musk and restrained lavender smell absolutely delicious after 12+ hours on clothes. In contrast, Goddess is a fresher floral, with sharper lavender & slight vanilla undertones. Angham is more cozy and wearable than Goddess. Also, I think that Angham smells very similar to my Libre Vanilla Couture - it reminds me of the same sweet type of vanilla. Also, I think you could layer Angham with the original YSL Libre EDP to get the same YSL Vanilla Libre Couture or better vibe. The price and quality ingredients of Angham are superb. Burberry Goddess EDP is more formal and fresher. While I have both perfumes, I think Angham is definitely a great buy: easier to use, a reasonable price of $59, and blended better than Goddess. On my skin & clothes, Angham is like a candy/chocolate/caramel sweet version of Goddess. It was a complete surprise. Yes, the social media hype is real for a reason. It is definitely worth a try. In summary, the perfume may seem weak when you first spray it. After the initial sprays, you get the real strength of the perfume. People may say you need to let the perfume settle, leave it for a while, then respray later, perhaps a month; for me, this was unnecessary. I will definitely buy another bottle because it is so good. I like gourmand fragrances. Angham is more of a friendly, warmer, cosy and deliciously sweeter powdery version of Goddess. As far as longevity goes, both Goddess EDP and Angham are the same for me. For some reason, Goddess feels colder, fresher, and lavender-based, with a clinical alcoholic vanilla on me, than Angham. Angham wowed me!!!! I am so happy to have this perfume in my collection. For anyone who wants the Burberry Goddess perfume but wants to save money, this dupe is a wonderful option. I highly recommend this one.

Straight out of the box, the first 5 sprays onto a tshirt and.... omg this is a lavender and vanilla BOMB! The lavender is so overpowering, I feel it in the back of my throat. It lasted forever on the tshirt, and I could smell it as soon as I walked into the same room with the t-shirt, even with just the 5 sprays, and I don't hate it, but I really hope it kind of softens and smoothens out a bit with time so it won't be as sharp in the opening. Hopefully the sillage and longevity stay the same though, because it's really quite impressive! I'll update in a few weeks... ETA It's been almost a month and omg I'm in love with this fragrance! The lavender is definitely still there, but the vanilla has become so much stronger and has turned the fragrance into something so fluffy sweet beautiful! The sillage and longevity are on another level.... it lasts for days on clothes and with just a few sprays you can smell it from across a large room! The ginger, mandarin and cacao have also become a bit more prominent and even my husband who is usually useless when it comes to identifying notes noticed the cacao! I think it's fresh enough that it could work all year round, even in the summer, and sweet enough that it could be nice and cosy in the winter. So it's really versatile. My only issue is that I rarely wear the types of outfits that this sort of fragrance goes well with. I don't think it goes well with a more casual look, but that's a me problem lol. I don't think it's a "mature" fragrance at all, I think anyone of any age could pull this off, but it's definitely feminine in my opinion!

Angham is a classy, sophisticated floriental. The bottle is simple but elegant, thick glass with gold music accents (Angham means "melodies" or "tunes" in Arabic). It would not look out of place on display with more expensive fragrances, though it does stick out a little against my more juvenile marshmallow fragrances... Compared to Burberry Goddess, Angham is softer and "richer." Goddess is a lavender perfume practically through and through. Angham hits me immediately with ginger and lavender. The jasmine comes through next, and it was the loudest note when the bottle was brand new. The vanilla and cacao have become more prominent with maceration, giving it a roundness and "thickness". It also has a "cardboard" quality that kind of makes it smell like new money, the paper and sweet ink of actual crisp dollar bills... I happen to like the smell of new money, but keep that in mind if you don't lol. The strangest thing about this though is that it skips becoming a skin scent on me and just completely disappears at around the four-hour mark... Not a trace of it to be found. Hopefully its longevity and sillage get better with time. While Angham is marketed as a vanilla perfume, it is not the creamy, dessert, gourmand fragrance a lot of people think of when they hear "vanilla." It is also not a floral perfume in the most traditional sense, because while lavender is a flower, I find it veers more into almost the aromatic or herbal category. It's still sweet but sophisticated and grown. Suitable for day and night, from office to dinner party.

It's stunning, a masterpiece! I have actually been searching for something like this a while. It's a delightful vanilla-lavender with just a little citruss or some kind of fruitiness in the opening. After a few minutes it settles into the creamiest vanilla with a little bit of cocoa powder and a very slight hint of florals. It's feminine but not in a girly way - it smells elegant and womanly and it's not too sweet either, like most vanilla scents are. I wouldn't even call it a gourmand honestly, altough some people like to describe it as such, as it's not exactly edible smelling. It is maybe gourmand LEANING but you won't smell like cake/dessert/pastry, which is why i'd say it's good for any season (even summer if sprayed carefully), any ocasion and any moment of the day. It has a contrast to it - the creaminess of the vanilla, praline and cocoa is perfectly ballanced by the florals (especially the lavender and jasmine), by the freshness of the ginger and mandarin and by a hint of spiciness. I can see why this gets so many compliments! This it's better and more complex than goddess in my opinion. Also stronger!!! It has more of that cocoa in it and it's creamier. Goddess is a little bit brighter, especially for the first hour! I really do enjoy Angham more and if the prices were switched, i'd still choose it! It is just so extremelly pleasant and so sophisticated and expensive-smelling!
