La African Drummer

*No Judgement Zone* I was at the fragrance swap and someone insisted I try this. I sd no thank you. She persisted anyway. I didn't like the bottle I had no interest in trying. It was like the same way someone trys to encourage you to taste a new food but you refuse. Well, the lady ignored me. She made me a decant and put it in my hand. Oh-emm-gee! She sd she paid $40 but this smells like it was $200. I HAD to order my first Lataafa, bc baybee....this African Drummer was drumming the beat to my soul. Great performance, great projection, and good price point....20 out of 10! 🪘

This fragrance is a love for me. It's absolutely delicious, creamy and inviting and comforting. Now you have to love florals because the Jasmine is like a real Jasmine flower. It's heavy on. Jasmine. If you want a beautiful, sophisticated, creamy tropical coconut floral scent, this is your girl. The coconut in here is like young coconut meat. That sweetness is not sweet like candy. The projection is amazing when I first wore it and that was on the first day that I got it so it hadn't even set yet. My husband was like wow you smell absolutely sexy and delicious.

(I'll preface this by saying that I absolutely cannot be trusted when it comes to coconut notes when not in a solinote fragrance. If you add florals into the mix my nose completely misses any coconut. So, I don't smell it here. But my husband said "you smell like holidays!" so, I'm guessing some may pick up on this.) La African Drummer is an intoxicating, syrupy white floral that really comes alive in the heat. I wore this nearly every day in a hot country. Very floral, intense and heady. It's SEXY. It projects and it performs. You WILL be noticed!

This was a hate at frist spray. But wait...I gave it a second, a third, a fourth chance and aaaaah, I ended up loving it. It's so fresh and clean. It's perfect for summer and even mornings when most fragrances smell like 'too much' for me. It gives the vibes of clean wet hair and holidays. It's lovely, and take it from someone that is not a massive fan of coconut. It's not a gourmand coconut but some coconut water with flowers and I agree it's on the Terracotta kinda fragrance. Love it.

Very nice scent but I have to say I love Lattafa. They did it again with this beauty. Coconut opening with musk. Then the orange flower and tiare blossoms comes trough. Really makes me think of a African drummer. In a very beautiful way. À very warm and flowery scent there is something tropical about it. I can see me wearing this in the summer. It needs some maceration I think. I hope it stays a long time on my skin. Will update for the longevity.
