Love in Paris

Update: Ive let it sit for 2 weeks and its so very yummy, it is developping beautifully into a different type of sweetness I don't normally see in perfumes of this price range. Its so realistic, warm and deliciously sweet without smelling artificial. I truly smell like a bakery. Its so good! Original: I love this, I do get a mild similarity to Angel share but just in the apple accord, this scent is not powdery nor super boozy like Angel share, it is way more photorealistic gourmand. If there is any booziness its in this thick bread scent this is giving, which is more sweetbread than boozy drink. In the opening there is a strong roasted halzenut smell which I take to be the roasted tonka bean, it is avery strong component. Then the caramelized apple pie starts to settle in. This apple accord is alot more caramelized with yummy maple compared to Angel share. I don't understand why people don't like maple its just giving me a sophisticated version of caramel. Its also not giving me a bath and bodyworks apple pie reminiscent smell but a very high end version of jammy apple pie. I love the breadiness/pastry whiffs I get as I love a good bread scent (I also love Brioche Vanille). I don't really pick up the patchouli but there is something grounding but definitely still in a sweet way, to me its more of rose and woods giving that grounding backdrop. And I don't get the middle eastern spiciness I thought would come with, maybe just a touch of Artisan Ethnique's cinnamon is here but not a spice mix, it is a very versatile appealing scent. Very enjoyable.

Imagine buying a fragrance by one of the greatest perfume artists of our time - the man who created Amouage Guidance, Good Girl by Carolina Herrera and virtually all its flankers, Chloe’s Cedrus, Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique, Maison Crivelli’s Hibiscus Mahajad, Marc-Antoine Barrois’ Ganymede and Tilia, Delina and all its flankers AND Valaya (!!!) and so many more literal masterpieces - for $35?! And it’s so good, it makes you almost long for fall and winter? Perfumes by a master creator that are accessible to all enthusiasts... thank you, thank you, thank you to Lattafa and to Monsieur Bisch 🙏🙏🙏

Love in Paris by Lattafa might really be one of them ones 👀🔥 I kept spraying this every time I went into the store and it NEVER disappointed. The longevity on this is crazy, like this scent really sticks with you in the best way possible. Smooth, addictive, elegant... just a beautifully done fragrance overall. I still don’t know if it fully touches Checkmate for me personally, but this right here is quality. You can tell this was crafted by a master perfumer and not just thrown together to chase hype. Lattafa been stepping it up heavy lately.

This is seriously incredible and honestly deserves way more hype. The maple note mixed with that caramelised apple and a subtle almondy vibe gives it this toasted pastry feel. I absolutely love it, and it lasts really well too. It’s not your typical crowd-pleaser, but that’s what makes it stand out. You really pick up the warm amber and benzoin in the base - it’s quite unique and comforting scent.

Today I received this package, and my honest feedback is this is very different. Not in any way we can tell that this is a $50 fragrance. To me it smells a little niche. Of course Sweet but this is 100% sure that it needs some time to get more mature. Just for an example, it smells like a creamy cookie
