Fahad

Just arrived so logging very first impressions, knowing that it will probably change even in a day or two. Anyone else get those delivery day experiences, to be a bit underwhelmed only to see a big difference just the day after? It smells pretty reserved and classy from the off. The bottle is also of good quality and feels premium in hand. For me I can imagine a similar profile would be achieved by taking a nice fougere base of lavender, mellow citrus, and subtle tobacco (like D&G Pour Homme) and adding drops of MYSLF, Polo 67, Guilty Elixir, and Pegasus. It smells highly pleasant, but I will certainly be looking for its potency and lift to improve before deciding whether to keep this in the collection. It smells really good, and such a profile deserves to have real presence to really do it justice. Fingers crossed - I have hope.

I bought this one a week ago. Initially, I wasn't too impressed then the more I wore it, the more I started to get addicted to the scent. It's my favorite fragrance from Lattafa so far, and I have quite a decent amount of fragrances from this house. It smells like an amber soaked in booze, some sort of spiced liquor with some citrus freshness. It's pretty light on the freshness and spices, gets very balsamic in the drydown. Lasts above 12 hours on clothes and has quite a strong projection. Very nice fragrance. Clean, sweet, balsamic scent.

Absolute banger for your money. To me it smells like a mix of Azzaro Wanted by Night and YSL Myslf. No one would ever guess that this is a middle eastern fragrance, this smells like a designer all day to the drydown. Great date night scent but also great for a daily, definitely mass pleasing.Its also suitable for younger guys , i find the model they choose a bit misleading. 9/10 overall

Ho leeee moly what a sofisticated perfume. What a banger. This easily moves into top 10 in my whole 700 bottle collectin.

What a beautiful scent, haven't tried out the longevity and projection ( seems to be faint). But judging on scent 8.5/10

A little update, this thing outperforms Azzaro The Most Wanted. Still cant believe the quality you get for 39€

IT'S TOO SMOOTH FOR A LATTAFA. This is a very nice gentlemanly scent. It's expertly blended, light, reserved and deliberate on everything, and creates a moderate sweet ambery sillage that will not annoy anyone. Not made for high heat or sports. Performance wise, it could be much better as it moves closer to skin sooner than expected, but I think it was made to be on the discreet side. It performs like the new formulation of D&G The One EDP. In fact, Fahad could be a The One EDP from an alt timeline. The Y Le Parfum comparison is valid, mostly vibe-wise, as the orange blossom is not that prominent in Fahad. The Gucci II comparison is a stretch, but Fahad does carry a very '00s designer vibe. The brand has an enormous catalog, most of its "good" releases are bombastically loud and sometimes aggressively blended , and the cheaper ones are, well, cheap and fleeting. Fahad is too well executed, nothing screams in your face, it doesn't carry any oudy or amberwoody funk that a lot of middle eastern perfumes have in the base, does not smell weird after 4 hours. It's like an oldschool masculine designer scent that somehow hasn't been butchered by reformulations and is still on the cheaper side. So, I think most Lattafa fans will dismiss it as weak and unimpressive. And people who don't bother that much with middle eastern brands will probably skip this as it's not a clone of anything. If you're not a teenager and this goes below 40€, grab it and you'll have a new super safe fall evening scent in your rotation.

Very nice and definitely not something you would expect. Very heavy on pepper, patchouli & citruses and a distinct incense note. I wouldn’t say this is mass appealing or safe but I can see the appeal behind it. Kind of reminds me of like Absolu Aventus mixed in with YSL MYSLF EDP kind of? Hard to explain. Nice fragrance though.

Totally ok. Hype train goes crazy — aided and abetted by all the right people of course — when a dupe brand releases a perfume that would be in the low-middle tier of designers. It’s totally fine for the price. You probably have something like it unless you just got into fragrance. Ultimately forgettable.

Those notes make my body have a wood essence 😍
