Art Of Wood

OK first up, my bottle arrived leaking. Not a great start, as a bit of a collector, there was juice already staining the very elaborate inside packaging. Luckily the box is unnecessarily bulky, & with a bit of plumber's tape, I managed to stop the leak mostly as long as I store it standing upright. I definitely wouldn't be packing this in any of my travel luggage, unless I want everything smelling really really good... Yes, this smells really good. If you put this sauce in a Xerjoff bottle, you'd buy a 50ml bottle for $400 easy. This is coming from a huge Xerjoff fan! The quality of this juice is amazing. I'm writing this after about 14hrs of wear, which includes a KFC lunch, & 2hrs out in 32c heat washing busses under the Australian summer sun, & almost another hour driving home in the rush hour traffic. I can still smell this radiating off my skin, & this is considering I've probably gone quite nose blind to it already. But if I brush my fingers across my neck, it's like a bloody scratch & sniff. Performance is simply 10/10. I've got jackets weeks old that still have this smell lingering around the collar. It's a damn good smell too, you know what? Maybe I will pack my leaky bottle into my travel luggage if I ever not want to wear a different scent every day of my holidays... Right, the smell. I almost bought Perseus by Parfums De Marly. That bright grapefruit would be perfect for the blazing summers here. However, besides being grossly overpriced, there is something also a bit unrelenting about the citrus punch that it gives. Terre D'Hermes Eau Givree is also another beautiful woody citrus fragrance, but the performance on that one is just quite weak. Perhaps better suited for cool summer evenings rather than scorching hot long days. This Art of Wood by Lattafa though, adds a creamy dimension to the scent. That vanilla & rose really balances out the sharpness of the citrus, carrying a bit of undertones of YSL's Tuxedo (or a less smoky Moustache EDP). This is somewhat gourmand, like a lemon curd with whipped cream & crumbed biscuits, a bit like Lira by Xerjoff, but less musky caramel. I don't know if you can tell, but I do love this fragrance. I just wish my bottle wasn't leaking. For the $50ish price tag though, it's a no brainer.

I think it is necessary to point out with complete justice that the Lattafa house has made a quality leap in this Pride line worthy of highlighting, and in this one they twisted my arm without hesitation. This proposal allows the vast majority of perfume lovers to get a scent very close to Marly's Perseus for a modest price between $40 and $60, without meaning to say that it matches it in quality, but with a very good development. I declare myself a fan of the Marly house and I must declare that when making a 1 to 1 comparison with Perseus, it has a vanilla twist, which makes it a charming all-round scent, not only for the wearer, but for others, especially women, that twist is magical. It's taking that bright grapefruit with spices and woods and making it an elegant, yet sexy-manly, spicy citrus...I find myself smelling myself all day long, because it lasts over 9 hours and projects. They achieved a winning mix here and I admit with my knees on the ground that I like it more than my Perseus de Marly. I don't understand the comparisons with Terre de Hermes Parfum...this is a dull perfume on par with this one, mind you I have it and I love it, but nothing like it in projection, duration and citrus brightness. In conclusion, if you are a lover of spicy woody citrus with a prominent grapefruit throughout the life of the perfume...well this is one of those that is worth trying on skin, put it on and let it evolve...I would definitely do it before deciding to buy Perseus...Tremendous value for money. I appreciate your attention. Enviar comentarios Paneles laterales Historial Guardadas

Picked this up at a Burlington for 30$- I was in a "I'm going to buy something" mood, so this was a total blind buy. Gave it a few test sprays and let it mature for a month prior to actually wearing. Initial sprays-imagine that feeling you get when you eat a lemon Jolly Rancher. That tart taste that makes you salivate and gives your tongue a physical reaction. Now add some deep rose into the mix. It's a really odd combination but it works and I couldn't stop sniffing it. As it dries down, the vanilla comes forward while the citrus fades away. The rose maintains that thick feeling. It doesn't feel floral, it feels solid, if that makes sense at all. Substantial. The oakmoss and vetiver are there as players too, but I am experiencing a vanilla/rose duet for the most part. Performance is right on par with what one would expect from a Lattafa pride, with slightly better than moderate projection and longevity. Bear in mind that I do not like rose centered fragrances. Every other one that I have ends up in the 'never going to wear this again, will get rid of it someday' shelf of my display. But this one? It's complex, it's unique, and I cannot stop jamming my nose into my shirt. Really digging this one.

I really enjoy this fragrance. This will quite possibly become a signature fragrance for me. I smelled Perseus at Dillard's recently and enjoyed it. I can say that to me Art of Wood smells overall smoother. Perseus, to me, had more of a rind-like, sour smell. Art of Wood has more of a smooth, sweet (not gourmand) grapefruit smell. The best way I can describe the smell of this is that it smells like very expensive cedar wood that has been polished with a sweet vanilla grapefruit polish. It smells expensive and it is high quality. I doubt anyone would believe I only spent $30 on this. I see that many people complain of the rose smell. I get zero rose at all. I personally only smell sweet citrusy wood. If you enjoy grapefruit scents, you will most likely love this. I would consider this a year round scent, but I think it will work best in spring, summer, and fall. The longevity seems to be really good with moderate sillage I believe. This isn't a "sexy" scent but a very clean, fresh, expensive smelling scent. Very versatile. I would wear to the office, casual outings, errands, etc. Easy daily wear. Definitely a solid buy.

Nose Note #374 Very similar to Lattafa Nasheet, but a it smells less like a lemon pie and more like a creamy citrus, but honestly I expected something else like Terre d'Hermes Eau Givree which I have and it smells NOTHING like it. It's basically Lattafa Nasheet. If you had it you will understand. Not a 100% summer scent. It's very strong and rather thick. A very interesting scent, sure. And I may even like it more than Nasheet, but damn, feels like PdM just clones Nishane Ani and then Lattafa got looped... Maybe Perseus is very different, I don't know. I thought it was going to be much fresher. Upd. 08.08.25: some time has passed and it became less like Nasheet and more juicy in the citruses. Now that's a wow! 8.5/10, really creamy and woody citruses UPD 16.05.26: I grew to like it even more. This is just great. Amazing longevity. Things that I picked up on previously that I thought were negative have dissipated for me, I just like everything about it now, so: 9/10

Another slam dunk from Lataffa's Pride collection. A brilliant complex blend, a symphony of depth. Some reviews say that it is not a safe blind buy, but I would say that if you like citrus, grapefruit bergamot top notes, you will love this one. At first spray this comes on strong, perhaps too sharp for some noses, but after about 30 minutes, it transforms into the gentler toned down notes of powdery vanilla, cedarwood, vetiver and oakmoss, however the bergamot note still props up the scent like a stake, keeping it from drooping over time. And speaking of time, AOW is a pleasant beast, especially when sprayed on clothing, it will continue to remind you of its presence all day long. If you are a cannabis connoisseur, AOW will remind you of some citrus-y sativa strains. I think I'll get another bottle as a back up, just in case they discontinue it.

I picked this up as part of the Lattafa mini sampler set. This opens with citrus, spices, and pepper. Then enters a bit of patchouli (ani don’t smell the rose). Eventually the sophisticated wood smells and moss smells become more evident. Vanilla is at the base, and is not very obvious. I am looking forward to seeing what it matures into after time out. I honestly thought it might be too cloying for summer, and might be one to gift my husband, but I really like it, and can see it being quite lovely. I’m glad Lattafa put it in the Pride mini set, because it is expanding my preferences of what I like (fragrance-wise).

box wrap was very cool. Initial spray and i already knew this was the most unique fragrance Ive smelt. Very nice grapefruit and pepper but has a very nice touch of vanilla and rose and oak moss you can really smell to not make it such a basic grapefruit freshy fragrance. I haven't seen to to much about this fragrance, but i can easily say im very happy with the purchase. Deserves more hype and is so unique, projects pretty well and lasts a good while. Only way you wont love this is if you don't like grapefruit, its not overpowering but you can for sure smell it.

I feel lied to. This stuff is great! This is one of those that the bandwagon of YouTube influencers pushed me away from trying. It wasn't until I got the Lattafa mini gift set, which includes this one and four other offerings, that I decided to try it. Maybe I lucked out or they were exaggerating the opening, but I've had it for two days and I love it! It smells delicious. In the air, it smells like an orange creamsicle or orange gelato. If I didn't already have too many fragrances, I'd buy a full bottle, but I'm sure that this 20ml mini will do just fine.

It's so sour that it's nasty. Why do I love it so much? It's pungent to the point you pucker when you smell it. Blasts you with grapefruit and cedar then gets a little softer with some vanilla. I don't pick up the rose at all. I usually wear this to bed or around the house. I'm always afraid someone might mistake this as BO so I never wear it to work. I can understand why some people don't like it but it's probably my favorite Lataffa cologne. Not a safe blind buy.

So when I first sprayed it, I thought what the heck is this?! But the longer I've been wearing it the more I love it. It's nothing like I had smelt B4. Woody, zesty, lemonade. I imagine it's perfectly suited for spring/ summer but I enjoy wearing it now in fall - both home after shower and @ work. For 22 Euros it's a no brainer if u r into trying sth new. And I agree with the comment below - it does smell like ganja 😁

This was my first oud fragrance ever. I was very skeptical but this is so intoxicating. The oud is very loud and strong. The citrus has a quick short life but soon you get this strong depth of vetiver, oud and more oud. It reminds me of opening an old wooded chest. Its definitely an evening scent. I am hoping it will mature beautifully by Christmas

I love this fragrance and it’s become my signature fragrance, I get a lot of compliments from this when I wear it in to the office. Only thing I will say is you can’t smell the rose that some people say is strong in this fragrance, I smell more the grapefruit , bergamot, vanilla and oak moss , cedar wood mostly.

I thought it smelled a little bit funky when I first got this, but I don't get that at all now and I find myself wearing it a lot. Lovely grapefruit with woods and creamy vanilla, not very sweet which I love. It's fairly dense so I'd say it's best for autumn and spring. Very strong performance for me. 8.5/10

Opens with a blast of citrus followed by the most gorgeous sweet woody vanilla rose, the woods here are pretty dry. The drydown is the most delicious lemon vanilla dessert. This is just so lovely and unique, blended well without any harsh edges right out of the box. Moderate longevity. Love.

I tried this yesterday for the first time after ordering a bottle. By the scent profile, I was pretty sure I would like it, and it didn't disappoint. It's such an easy-to-wear, uplifting scent. Longevity is very good, 8-10+ hours with strong to moderate sillage.

I live in Arizona where the temps get pretty high. This goes on smooth, very creamy musk with Vanilla that makes your mouth water. Excellent summer fragrance. Had people pass by me they would say "Oohh , somone smells good!" Highly recommend 👌🏽

Imagine birch sap as a niche fragrance. Art of Wood is natural smelling and nuanced, both formal and fresh, special yet still pleasant enough to be an office scent. A memorable, refined unisex one that I actually love from the first sniff.

I am shocked how much I like this scent. This leans masculine, but I am thoroughly impressed. This is peppery, citrusy, and finishes with the earthy, woody, and mossy. This was a win as part of the Lattafa mini set.

Insane good - the type of fragrance that makes you start liking fresh and citrus scents : because there is no ugly awful lockerroom ambrox-bleach-chlorine-spermatozoid note.
