Ekhtiari

I like this a lot! It is a classic jasmin-gardenia blend (like in the early 00s) brought to date with a sugary fruity blend and orangey-citrusy freshness. There is also something spicy I cannot identify. Feminine, nicely blended at each stage, very wearable, sweet but not cloying , this would be an every occasion scent. Of course it does not smell niche but it does not smell cheap either. Quality reminds me of the classic designer blends of the 00s without the mature lady feel. Dry down reminds of Coco Mademoiselle but without the classic Chanel patchouli note this doesn’t become really similar. In my opinion this can be worn by women at any age. Nice projection and longevity but one should not overspray. I spray this from 20cm distance to allow the scent to breathe.

Surprisingly fantastic! ♥️👍 Clean & fresh like a good soap, gently sweet, delicate candy-like floral accord with fruity notes backing it up. Smells much better as a spray than a dab on, easy to overdo. Deceptively light scent. Classically wonderful and to me, fairly unique. Very happy with this as a blind buy. 🥰 7.5/10 Will definitely wear again!

I was expecting something sweeter and fruitier but this is not that. It's fresh mandarin and musk. Very unisex. Not too sweet or heavy at all. I'm interested to see if maceration will make it deeper or sweeter. It seems versatile and wearable without being boring. I'm very excited to wear this more.

A potent floral fruity musk perfume. Distinct Jasmine and Vanilla Very sweet. It is on the feminine side but I like it and will wear it. This might well grow into a love. Update.....It has!

Do you want to smell delicious? Get this. Fruits and citrus with white flowers, vanilla and musk. Possibly old-fashioned. Leans a little fem but I don't care. Stunning. INTOXICATING.

Instant love for this fresh scent.

* Very nice hybrid fruit and floral fragrance * Flanker all in name to Azeezah * Pleasant and refreshing fragrance * Good blend of sweet, fruit, floral, musk and powdery aromas * Not cloying * Good performer * Great for the outdoors * Good for using in social activities * Great for floral lovers * Might lean too feminine for male users * A ton of competition in the floral fragrance market, even from its own maker * Not good for those who dislike sweet fragrances * Better presentation than Azeezah Lattafa's Ekhtiari is a hybrid fragrance that combines the fruit and floral DNAs together into a very pleasant and refreshing fragrance. It's a flnaker in all but name to Lattafa's own Azeezah, which is a hybrid citrus and floral fragrance. It's a good blend of sweet, fruit, floral, musk and powdery aromas. The florals are more white flowers than rose, and the result is that it's not as cloying as other florals on the market. As with most floral fragrances, this is unisex but might still lean too feminine for some male users, possibly even more so Azeezah due to the more fruity notes compared to Azzezah's citrusy notes. It's a good performer, great for using outdoors and during social activities, and the presentation is much better than Azeezah's Floral lovers should really enjoy this one. Recommended.

The first fragrance that I noticed a big maceration difference! After only 2 months it has changed quite a bit. At first, I liked it but I thought that the citrus in the beginning was bitter, and the blending was not right with the white flowers. Now, I absolutely love it. The bitterness is gone and it opens to this nice and fresh tangerine smell. The blending is nicely done and the tangerine freshness starts opening up space to fruity floral fragrance that is elegant. The vanilla is in the background and it gets slightly more pronounced after the first hour, but it still not loud. I imagine myself with a fancy outfit doing shopping in a mild spring day. If you blind bought and did not like it, let it sit for a few months.

This is a happy perfume. It’s light and still robust. A breath of fresh air and a sweet bouquet of flowers. Coco Mademoiselle immediately comes to mind, but I agree with the reviewer before me that it is lacking the patchouli, so it doesn’t have that woody tang. I also agree with whoever said not to overspray. The first spray is so soft and fluffy you think you need a few more, but let the gardenia and jasmine do their thing. When they bloom, the fragrance is very full. Three sprays max for me and my nose. It’s not sassy so it’s not a love, but it is pleasant, and since I don’t know Jour this is a new scent to me. Love a nice surprise. Got it from the TJ Maxx website for $15.

This smells like Sì Intense had a love child with Coco Mademoiselle, super juicy and very potent that opens with candied orange-forward citruses. It recedes into the background as a very sweet white floral heart emerges, pronounced by a lot of vanilla. Gets a bit muskier as it dries down, but not by much. Projects off my skin very potently, I think my body chemistry is amplifying the notes. I think you can get away with this all year round.

I am amazed at how this smells so different on everyone. To me, it smells like a version of Hypnose by Lancome. Definitely not a blind buy as it smells very sweet (bordering on revolting). I like it though, but I have to be very careful and not spray it too much, and spray it below my decollette area, as my stomach may get sensitive to it.

This is such a pretty fragrance. I’ve been told I smell like an expensive candle. Something about it gives it an almost rosy quality on me, and I’m Not complaining. It’s almost like a glass of rose lemonade being dipped in a flower garden. It’s beautiful, fresh, summery, classy and mature without being “old lady”.

Smells like an ice cold fruity floral sparkling drink. I get peaches and oranges for sure and then white flowers. The dry down has a warmth and woodiness as well. Really beautiful, pretty scent. Can’t wait to wear this in spring and summer. Lasting power is this one’s only downfall.

There is something slightly old fashioned about this, but not in a stuffy, overly mature kind of way. It feels classic, timeless. A truly lovely white floral, with just enough sweetness to keep it bright. And it settles into a gentle and soothing musk. Kinda love it.

Although the longevity of this fragrance is around 5 hours on me, this is a really potent fruity floral. If you don't spray too much it works. It’s a bright feminine and full-bodied floral scent and I enjoy wearing it, a lot!

Resemble strongly of Chloe perfumes, but better in my opinion.

Very pleasant perfume. Reminds me Coco mademoiselle A LOT!

I agree, sparking fruit drink. And a damn good one. I mean, I was sick at how refreshingly and deliciously uplifting this is. Got me a bunch of compliments too☺️ Doesn’t last unless you overspray (I have Oversprays Chronically Disorder, so I get decent wear out of this), but for the price, decant and refresh. Bonus: the opening is so good, it’s worth experiencing twice😍 UPDATE: I’ve had this for 4 months now. It definitely smells like a brighter, more citrusy version of Coco Mad. The only difference I’m getting is that CM has the patch and is quieter . That difference gives these two sisters a very different personality and I’m here for all the vibes! UPDATE: 6 months now. This fragrance is now a beast. Don’t overspray unless you like giving ppl headaches😩

Ultra-fresh fruity floral. This fragrance has a very strong, bold scent that immediately reminds me of burst candy and cleaning products. For the price, it offers surprisingly good performance. The base notes work to add nuance and depth, enhancing the existing notes rather than introducing entirely new ones. While it’s well-crafted, it’s just not for me... it becomes overwhelming and nauseating after a while.

Bought it for 10 Euro. Exactly covers its price. It's pretty sharp, generic, musky fruit salad. Useful for air freshener. The comparison to most of the above mentioned fragrances is hilarious.

No one else has said this, but to me, it smells like a less intense and more airy/ hot weather version of Coco mademoiselle

Just received this yesterday, I’m utterly disappointed esp.after reading the good reviews and seeing the hype for this on YouTube. It’s sooo fruity that you feel nauseous. I didn’t get any musk or vanilla either. It’s very long lasting though. At first I thought that the initial spray is disgusting but the dry down will be better, I wore it the whole day but it didn’t change, it just got more cloying and I finally had to hv a bath and change my tshirt as the smell triggered my migraine. I had humongous expectations from Ekhtiari and I’m a huge fan of ittars or attars, but this scen just gutted me.

Damnit...another "Jasmine Bomb". The peach in the opening lasts about 15 minutes...then it's all jasmine/gardenia/musk til the end of the fragrance. Another fail. Passing this one off to a female associate as a Christmas gift. Friggin jasmine-bomb....makes me sick. >.< Total time in-house: 30 minutes.

UPDATE: I was getting irritated by the soapy scent after a few days & sat this aside. I'm glad I didn't give it away tho. I picked it up yesterday to take another sniff & it has morphed away from to soapy smell to something sweeter and more musk-like. So it has take around 4 months of resting to play nice. It's still very unisex, but it leans sweeter and reminds me of Athena - if Athena was more masculine-leaning. The soap scent is still there, but underneath & not being dominant. I layered it with some Gigglepuff and, ooh whee! It's really nice. Weirdly, I like it without knowing why. It has a sweet & soapy scent. I've just had it a day and need to let it rest. Hopefully, it blooms into something more definite.

@876Beauty I've had this for a few months and I think I finally figured it out...it's a smoothed out version of La Vie Est Belle...it doesn't smell as sweet and there is no patchouli, but other than that, they have a lot of other notes in common. I think that this is a nice signature scent and is good for essential workers, nurses, teachers, etc....

Smells so good! I can actually smell the sweet juicy orange in this along with soft fruits & florals, lightly warm vanilla and very soft musk. It smells better the longer is sits to mature. My liquid has already darkened after 3 months. Not overly strong but def enough to smell within arms length, Half day wear on clothes. I really like this!

This is beautiful. Think L’Interdit without the patchouli. I’m a guy and I layer with this one. Unfortunately, it does not last at all on my skin but I can get some longevity on my t-shirts sprayed generously. This is a fantastic perfume. It’s affordable and the bottle is stunning. I wish it was stronger but I’ll repurchase it for sure.

My close encounter with Ekhtiari has left me reeling. It’s opening is ghastly. Like running into a rusty metal wall. I didn’t expect Hermés but I did expect if not a special blend, then a pleasant floral one. I expected more from Lataffa. The ones I have are either inoffensive and mostly pleasing. Scrubber. Going in giveaway bin. 😱

It's a familiar DNA, I just can't figure out what it actually smells like. I love it though!! I get a mango note for sure. Edit: just got a sample of Nishane Hundred Silent Ways and it instantly reminded me of Ekhtiari!! The notes are similar too

I like this a lot,it's like a sparking fruit drink. My only concern is that it neither lasts long nor projects. I have come to the conclusion that the present day lattafa lasts roughly 6 hours with little or no projection

I'm about to get some now - JUST because of the reviews snarking about "cheap & Arabic" perfumes. I could spend $200-$400 on a NOT cheap or NOT Arabic perfume, but I will save that for my groceries and healthcare.

I get vanilla soft musky florals and a pineapple pear kind of scent. Really special. I can't wait for it to get hot so I can really shower this on. Sparkling pretty scent, clean and easy.

For me i smell creamy mango. Lovely, and last in clothes.
