Emeer

So, I purchased this fragrance a few months ago. I really love the gentlemanly vibe the candied Lemon and the mild spice of the Cardamom offer here, Absoulutely GORGEOUS! I actually find this fragrance sorra linear, but thats ok bc I just love the way the opening and mid smells. Now, what I'm totally confused about is the lack of projection. The longevity is amazing, but although Ive watched sooo many YT videos and read so many reviews which claim that the projection for Emeer is "monstruos " and that ya only need like 2 sprays, I have to completely dissagree! And actually, when I own a fragrance that I just know has insane projection and I see others say that it under performs, I just shake my head and think to myself, "Maaan, People are nuts and are NEVER satisfied". Sadly I know most folks out there will think the same about me, but Im just being honest. So today for instance, I watched yet another yt vid from a YT reviewer which I really trust claiming "INSANE PROJECTION" (erks me everytime), I thought "man, I have to be going completely nose-blind or something" so I grabbed my fragrance and sprayed 3 full spritzes on my neck and 3 on each shoulder plus one more on my chest for good measure. This time I'm actually getting whiffs of Emeer, but its definately NOT "Projecting like a beast". Also, when I got to work, I'd asked a co-worker and she had to walk up to me, sniff my neck and she then complimented the fragrance, I aksed if I'd "over done it", she said she could smell it, but had to walk up to me, to do so and therefore I had NOT over-done it. So it's definateñy NOT anosmia (I'm almost tempted to buy another bottle if it were not bc I have way too many now as it is, plus I fear it'll just perform the same). I have to wonder if it's a quality control issue over at Lattafa causing batch variations bc I do believe folks when they say its got insane projection, again it's got really great longevity, but very poor projection imo. Still tho, it's a FANTASTIC, masculine scent! If it projected better Id have to give it a 9 outta 10, but with the lack of projection (of my bottle), I have to give it a 7.5 outta 10. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks to whomever took the time for the read!

First let me start by saying I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE! The scent profile of Bergamot + clary sage + some darker fruit (plum, juniper berries, sometimes cherry) is not that unique. A few Clive Christians feature that opening; Town and Country being one but also Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic. Another that comes to mind is Pana Dora’s Forever Love. You can do a search by notes here on Fragrantica and find even more. My experience has been that many scents with this composition give off a very similar profile where the bergamot is lifted and very effervescent from the clary sage. To some it could some off as chemically or synthetic but it’s actually the natural interaction of the notes and it’s the same on this as it would be a Clive Christian. The nuances in each juice come from which direction the supporting notes and base notes take the fragrance but they never get too far away from this light citrus quality that makes your nose tingle. From what I remember of sampling Town and Country, I got an apple note. I haven’t seen an accurate note breakdown anywhere because Clive Christian keeps their notes very close to the vest; only teasing 3 for a fragrance that obviously has so many more. I remember smelling it on my skin and thinking I see why they called it this, it smells like a fall weekend in the country picking apples. I don’t get that note from Emeer but it’s otherwise very close. I’ve also tested Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic beside Town and Country with those two being quite similar, although hedonistic is more citrusy on the opening. Somehow though, Lattafa manages to create something nearly on par with the house of Clive Christian but for $30 a bottle. It’s insane value for money. I’m baffled why this isn’t rated higher up around 4.4 or 4.5. I’ve tried some of the other Lattafa “clones” and it’s about 50/50 if I end up disappointed or if it’s a home run. This one is in the latter camp with the likes of Badee Al Oud. If you told me it was $500 for 100ml smelling it blindly, I’d believe it.

WOW! Beautiful scent! Citrusy, Spicey, Classy af! I've been eyeing Emeer for a while.now, but was afraid to blind buy as I didnt want it to be redundant in my collection (and it isn't). This fragrance is just so pleasant, and although I haven't tried Clive Christian's Town & Country, I feel that this fragrance is in the same (wheel-house) as LV L'immensite. Bright, Citrusy, slightly spicey, (Special). I smell a beautiful candied/sugary lemon note from opening to far drydown (reminds me of lemonheads candy) accompanied by a slight spicyness, and then in that far dry down I've also noticed that theres a slight powdery-ness that reminds me of like an Orace note which was NOT present in the opening along with an ultra clean soapy-ness which both add a maturity to the fragrance, so theres definately some complexity and development with this fragrance.(NO LEMON PLEDGE!) Smells great the FULL wear..... People trippin'🙄 I've only worn Emeer twice now, and must say that although this does have quite good longevity (could still smell it on clothes the next couple days), it does sit pretty close to the skin and isnt much of a projection beast (at all) but Im hoping that letting it sit for a few weeks so that it has a chance to macerate will help in that department, but for now I'd say that Emeer is NOT a "beast mode" fragrance for that reason. imo, "beast mode" frags/clones would be Armaf's Milestone and Intense Man, also Lattafa's Khamrah Qawha as they really project very, VERY well, but still, this scent is really gorgeous, somewhat unique and NO slouch!.. Emeer is an 8 outta 10 in my book, if the projection and power improve it may change to a 9 or 10!...To whomever took the time to read my review.. THANKS!!😉

It seems like there's some confusion here, as people are mistakenly comparing this fragrance to Clive Christian’s Town and Country, which is way off the mark. This is a stunning fragrance in its own right, but if we're talking about similarities, it’s closer to others like Hacivat by Nishane or even Aventus, though more in the vein of an oakmoss-infused, slightly dirty citrus version, similar to Supremacy Not only intens (SNOI). In the dry down, it almost perfectly mirrors the oakmoss scent found in SNOI’s dry down. It has this captivating, slightly dirty citrus quality that keeps you wanting to inhale more. It’s polished and slightly synthetic, but in a way that works. On the skin, the heavy base notes of ambergris and patchouli linger all day and well into the night. The sillage is strong for the first 2-3 hours, gradually fading but not becoming a skin scent until around the 9-10 hour mark. This fragrance is definitely base-heavy, built from the ground up with powerful, high-quality ingredients, comparable to Afnan’s SNOI. Incredibly versatile, suitable for year-round wear. Just adjust the number of sprays based on the season—fewer in the warmer months, a bit more in the cooler ones. It’s a super masculine scent, with nothing remotely feminine about it. Perfect for office wear; with just 1-2 sprays, you'll be set for the day. Honestly, there’s not much to criticize about this fragrance. It offers great value and is an excellent addition to any collection. Rating: 9.5/10

* Unusual hybrid fougere/citrus/woody fragrance * Acqua di Gio, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme and Encre Noir had a threesome together and made this * Classy and sophisticated * Intriguing blend of citrus, herbal, woody, spice and musk aromas * Leans more masculine despite appearances * Niche quality * Cool (if a bit wasteful) LED light presentation * Good price * Strong performer * Female users might find it leans too masculine * Younger users may prefer a sweeter and fresher fragrance Lattafa's Emeer is a purported clone of Clive Christian's Town and Country. It's a very unusual fragrance, a hybrid of the classic aromatic fougere, woody, and citrus fragrance DNAs. This is classy and sophisticated, a very nice blend of citrus, herbal, woody, spice and musk aromas. The herbal aromatics are strong in the opening and then gently fade out leaving you with citrus on the mid and wood on the drydown. This actually leans more masculine, which belies the appearance which might lead you to believe it's the other way around. As such, female users may find it leans too masculine. Younger users may also prefer a sweeter and fresher fragrance. This is unisex overall despite the masculine leaning, is a very strong performer, and has a very cool LED lit box presentation albeit a tad wasteful. Price is good for what you get, as this is niche quality. Highly recommended.
