Angham Second Song

The first note of the "Second Song" is a mix of pear and apple, fresh and crisp and incredibly aromatic (in a fruity way). Bergamot is very tame and gentle, I think it creates the green apple-like accord. The opening is simply addictive. I see summer sunshine in its bright and uplifting tune. Peony and praline are a beautiful duo, expanding and deepening the floral facet of the composition, adding an incredibly soft spiciness to the sweetness of fruity florals and re-creating an elegant signature aroma of the pink peony. I feel as if I am holding the luscious bouquet of perfect pink blooms and have my face buried in them, inhaling over and over, and unable to get enough of perfumed air into my lungs. I am such a child when it comes to flowers, LOL! More citrus zest starts coming through in the heart of the perfume, creating a golden-yellow sheen on the pink and waxy white petals of peonies and pear blossoms. I can still hear the crisp apple in the midst of all this floral indulgence and a glimpse of an almond occasionally. I think I am being carried away by all the spring-summer vibes and am "seeing" all sorts of things. A warm whiff of vanilla and tonka swirls in, adding cloud-like impression and further unveiling the heart notes of the fragrance. By now I am in near ecstasy, even though today is particularly grey and windy-wet, but I am in another world, where the sun is shining, trees are in blossom and most opulent and fragrant blooms and florets are carpeting the ground under my feet. White musk anchors the whole the composition in a classic and immaculate manner. Drydown is fluid and graceful, no sharp drops or edges, just the petals dancing on a light breeze, dreamy and delicate, floating away with my dreams... This perfume may be Angham's "Second Song", but to me it is the “Song of Spring” by Kinuko Y. Craft, with angel walking through a flower-covered meadow, celebrating the season of rebirth, love and its fruits.

**UPDATE: I was going to wait until the end of the day to report performance on my skin, but I'm gonna dive on it to this update after 2 hours. Firstly, I couldn't wait the full month to sit and mature. But in the few weeks it has sat, it has gotten better! Yes, this is sweet, but in the most girl boss way possible. Do you enjoy smelling sweet, but want something more refined for a special date/meeting/appointment? This is your girl. I keep getting a whiff of myself and it's beautiful. Secondly, I live in a hot climate and on me this is not the least bit cloying--and I sprayed 8-10 sprays. Now, if you go full auto and bathe in this, you'll get cloying for sure. Finally, It's worth noting I bought this by accident, so I wasn't influenced by anyone. These are my genuine thoughts. How do I feel wearing this? Like I'm on my business. I'm moving forward with purpose making moves. I am not going with the flow--I'm executing a plan. Note: I was still getting whiffs of this after 5 hours, but it was fading into a skin scent. I reapplied another 10 sprays and had NO problem with projection getting through the rest of the day. _________________________________ I haven't rated this yet, because it came in the mail today. My first impression is this fragrance is floral and sweet, but not in a candy sort of way. It's airy, but it has some weight to her--but not enough that feels heavy or cloying. It doesn't smell juvenile but not old lady either. Once I let it sit for a month, I'll wear it and give my final thoughts!

I just got this in the mail and I am SO happy!! I loved My Devotion but since it's a scent I'd really only wear in the Spring/Summer I've been holding off, especially since it's pretty expensive. When I saw that Angham Second Song was being released I was super excited that a dupe was already coming out (pretty sure My Devotion came out like six months ago?) but I still wasn't sure if I was going to get it yet, I figured I'd wait for some reviews to see if it's any good. But then I got a really good coupon and decided to just do it. I lost my sample of My Devotion so I haven't smelled it in a while and I can't compare them side by side, but this smells almost exactly how I remember My Devotion smelling. I'm honestly very impressed. It's a super pretty warm and sweet flourmand. I don't know how else to describe it except that to me it's almost like an ultra concentrated imitation of a Spring breeze. Not in the most "fresh" or clean way, though, it's too sweet and almost syrupy for that. I'm not really sure why this is part of the Angham line, since Angham was a Goddess dupe. But then again, I don't know why My Devotion is part of the Devotion line when it's so different from the other two... it doesn't really matter I suppose. Grateful to Lattafa for this one! Edit: I just tried layering this with Atheeri and I'm OBSESSED. Can't wait to wear the combo in the Spring. It's wayyyy too heavy for the current weather though...

Let me start by saying this smells absolutely nothing like the original Angham. Okayyyy?! Now that we’ve cleared that up... this masterpiece is truly in a league of its own. I’m picking up the faintest hint of watermelon 🍉 — even though it’s not listed in the notes. It lingers softly in the background for me... or maybe it’s the blend of pear blossom and peony creating that juicy illusion. Either way, it’s stunning. It opens with a mouthwatering, rich burst of juicy pear, beautifully blended with peony, orange blossom, bergamot, and vanilla. The opening is bright, sweet, and instantly captivating. And let me tell you — that pear note does not disappear. It stays present the entire time, quietly radiating in the background, spilling its juicy sweetness all around and keeping the fragrance lively from start to finish. On my skin, the dry-down transforms into this rich, simmering sweetness — that subtle “watermelon” vibe layered with vanilla, peony, praline, musk, and tonka. It just settles so beautifully. The way the peony, vanilla, and musk melt together is breathtaking. Wooow!!! This is a must-have. I’m so happy my original Angham now has a beautiful, singing sister. 😍🎶 P.S. Imagine if Jolly Rancher made a candy flavored with watermelon, peony, praline, vanilla, pear blossom, and orange blossom — that’s the exact juicy, sweet energy this gives. 🤤

Well, Lattafa Anghams can clearly do no wrong. I absolutely adore the first one, and despite this being a bit sweeter, I decided to buy it anyway and I am so glad. The opening hit, though i can sense the floral, it’s actually a sweet juicy hit I get BUT it’s not an immature juicy like Eden Lychee. It’s expensive smelling. I don’t know how the bergamot is giving this, but it must be praline that’s sweetening it up a bit. Then it rounds off and there is warmth and depth, which is likely the vanilla and the ambroxan. Anything with ambroxan and I’m sold. It does so nicely on my skin. I’m looking forward to this settling down and becoming even more beautiful over coming weeks. Both Anghams are now in my top fragrances. Well done Lattafa. I smell expensive without the expense! Btw, it projects, it’s so far lasted six hours and is still going strong (and it’s totally stunk out the original room I sprayed it in!). It’s feminine. I actually think it’s a day, night, and all season perfume. And I think it’s signature worthy too. Never smelt My Devotion, so I cannot offer a comparison. Update: I just went off this. It’s way too sweet for me but other people enjoy it so I still wear it. Plus, I have a big bottle to use!
