Leen

I bought the little 20 ml bottle because I had zero concept of what these notes would smell like together ( I think this might be my first turmeric note perfume) , but this is amazing! Wow! This would layer well with Ginger Babe by Aroma Concepts. This is a good perfume for late summer/ early fall during the day and a good summer evening perfume in general. Edit: Ok so it’s a month and a couple of weeks after my initial review and this is a lovely white floral with some spice and a touch of green mango that has a very woody/musky base AKA heaven to my nose! If you hate white florals - and *especially* if your nose is sensitive to indoles( I.e. you smell shit or decay in white florals) - then don’t purchase this! This isn’t a safe blind buy unless you love white florals. It reminds me of Gucci Bloom, but more interesting.( I love Gucci Bloom, btw).

Oh boy, I've got this thing macerated, and let me tell you this, it's very different than when it just came. For some reason, before, the mango note was very subtle. It was like a mango pulp mixed with turmeric, ginger, and black pepper with white florals around it. Now, it still has these notes. However, the mango beautifully matured into this fresh, ripe mango. It feels like it was born from God of Fire DNA, then graduated from college, and then became a venerable member of society. Other aspects like florals became more dense and creamy, while spices toned down and blended with the overall scent profile better. The performance I get is around 6 hrs, perfectly unisex, but white florals can be unusual for men. Perfect for home, dates, fancy venues. Less great at places where sophisticated and complex scents are not welcome, like office or gym.

This is an excellent dupe for Memo Paris - Madurai, pretty much smells 1-1. Leen is long-lasting with great sillage, beautiful and well-blended. Safe for office as an energizing, daytime perfume. Although it naturally belongs to spring/summer wear due to its brightness and freshness, I would not hesitate wearing it all year round. It is not sweet at all, it keeps the bergamot/peppery notes long into the drydown. Leen can easily pass as a French fragrance. I do not detect it to be a budget Arabic house fragrance at all, contrary to almost any other popular Lattafa scent. I dare say this is one of Lattafa's most successful and sophisticated blends. Totally a safe blind-buy if you like fresh, green and elegant perfumes, and especially if you love Madurai but do not feel like paying its exorbitant price.

10/10. This is an extremely rare score for me, especially when it comes to feminine-leaning fragrances. I was so pleasantly surprised by the beautiful balance of floral and sweet notes on my skin. The drydown is particularly gorgeous, developing a dark-roast coffee aroma that wasn't officially listed in the notes. This is more than a crush—this is love at first sniff for me. And the bottle? The frosted glass design is absolutely stunning. I also want to add that I've been looking for a femme scent that expresses Sampaguita (Philippines national flower) also known as Aarabian jasmine, Jasmin sambac. This does it flawlessly without the heaviness. Huge thanks to Dr. Ruqayya Abba Tofa for the article a week or so ago! Would never have found out about this fragrance if it wasn't for reading that.

To me, it reminds me a bit of Clinique Happy on the opening. It's very fresh, "clean girl" like, fresh linen, slightly citrusy bright scent. I don't detect any pepper whatsoever. A slight mango is definitely there, and it comes off very naturally, like a tropical flower. It's not your everyday scent, definitely "girly" and interesting spring fragrance. The dry down is a nice surprise , it develops into a strange concoction that I kept thinking "is this what this simple scent evolved into". I guess it mutates into a more complex scent that's hard to describe, but unfortunately becomes much more muted. I think the loud florals quiet down in about 15-30 minutes. And then this more complex scent emerges that remains with you for the rest of the day. I think this one is a hidden gem!

I absolutely love this scent now, but I completely understand what some people are saying about it. When I first got it, it had a very screechy note that honestly ruined the whole fragrance for me. I was so disappointed. Instead of decluttering it, I let it sit and would revisit it every few months. That harsh note lingered for quite a while, but after about a year and a half, something finally clicked. It has matured into a beautiful, smooth, addictive fragrance that I can’t stop smelling. It’s one of those perfumes that keeps drawing your nose back to your wrist. So if you’re not loving it right now, it might be worth giving it some time. And if you decide it needs a new home after all... well, you know where to find me. 😉

This is one of the most underrated scents from Lattafa in my opinion. But I get why it’s not a crowd pleaser. When I first smelled it, I was hit by a wave of nostalgia. It reminded strongly of a floral perfume that I can’t remember exactly which one from the late 90s to early 2000s. It’s in the same scent family as the original J’adore, Glamorous by Ralph Lauren and Beautiful by Estée Lauder. But it has its own unique features. It is predominantly a white floral scent. Honestly I wouldn’t buy this for the mango, as it’s not very noticeable, just adding a touch of fruity sweetness. The spices, sandalwood and incense are beautiful in this. Gorgeous scent. Just not for everyone as it’s not particularly sweet or modern.

I didn’t like it that much from the get go. It was an ok situation for me. A year later I think I might actually love it. Guess my taste shifted a bit. This is a perfect spring fragrance. Unripe dusted mango with a fresh clean feeling coming from the white flowers. The light woods in the base blend into something almost green tea-ish. There is just a little bit of tender sweetness but just a hint. It’s not too loud but also not a skin scent. Today I layered it over Musamam White Intense - the combo is a dream🤩

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ I love this! ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ From the first spray it smells fresh, herbal, spicy and elegant. I wouldn't really call this a mango fragrance. To me, the mango is there to soften everything rather than stand out on its own. As it settles, I get more jasmine together with the herbal, spicy freshness. Everything feels smooth and beautifully blended. To me, this is a very fresh herbal jasmine fragrance with a soft touch of mango. It's elegant, different, and I can't stop smelling my wrist. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Another unique Lattafa's creation that I happen to love and respect. So well put together, despite varies notes. I can not distinguish turmeric or ginger here, perhaps they contribute to longevity, which is great, along with the projection. It is like smelling/wearing green dusty mango, and osmanthus with peppery kick. You realise straight away it is one of a kind fragrance, that will make you stand out of the crowd and feel regal. More of those, Lattafa, please!

This is such a good take on a mango fragrance. With so many mango fragrances on the market, this one stands out as quite unique with more of a green mango, turmeric, ginger, and well balanced white florals. For me, it is quite special and I enjoy wearing it. It has great performance and projection and also garner compliments. A must try if you are looking for something a bit different.

Such a spicy, unique green mango, heady white floral fragrance. I received the 20ml for free with my Lattafa TikTok shop purchases and it wasn't a favorite at first sniff (she is BOLD), I am absolutely loving this on hot summery days, especially when layered with khair Felicity because they turn into something absolutely magical together.

I adore Leen! It’s delightfully green and fresh/spicy. It has good projection and longevity, and stays fairly linear throughout (which I actually like). As others have said, this is also a great option for layering- it instantly corrects scents that lean “too sweet.” It’s not a safe blind buy for everyone, but a blind buy win for me!

Love love love this one. Very similar to Oppulent Dubai. I've never smelled God of Fire but this is supposed to be mimicking that one. Fresh out of the shower clean. I like this on my husband as well. Great unisex frag. I bought a back up bottle, JIC.

I love it. it is so seductive smells so intoxicating i literally go back to it back to back never smelled anything like this before it is so so so goood. i smell white florals and spices. a bit incense-y, love it. so nicely blended

Not a dupe of anything I’m aware of. Just a really fresh, floral scent with very subtle spice and a warm pretty drydown. An easy reach. I’ve often been choosing Leen over my perfumes that cost 10x more this summer. Good stuff.

I love Leen, quite underrated and not much talked about. The perfectly blended white florals and subtle mango scent makes this an easy reach fragrance. I love to layer this with Vintage Radio. Office safe.

I love it for Spring! Reminds me of one of those fresh Yves Rocher EDC from a couple decades ago, but with an "exotic", richer, more mature twist.

surprised there’s no pear/saffron note. this smells just like Patek Maison Vert to me

Top 5 underrated Lattafa, nothing to do with God of Fire.
