Musamam White Intense

Well this was a pleasant surprise ! A "clean woman's " fragrance, fresh and white, not sweet, not cloying. A great every day type of fragrance, a nice discovery. Probably one of the only two cheap fragrances i bought i enjoy and use! For me it's a sweet very well balanced, citrusy tea, with white flowers and musky base, smells elegant and way above her price! A blind buy, on the cheap end, i wanted to try so i purchased it six months ago, didn't think too much into it. Packaging and bottle are astonishing so i wanted to try it. Now i find my self reaching for her a lot, especially for a "day fragrance" living in a hot country all year around, and i like her ! She is amazing on clothes and has more durability there, and will keep you fresh, crisp, elegant all day. Less longevity on skin but super pleasant there too. She's white and floaty. A clean tropical musk indeed, thankfully that coconut is not al all predominant, and on me i'm happy i can't identify it all, this is a flowery scent with the right amount of citrusy notes, and woody notes to balance it out. It will make a successful gift for a girlfriend, bestie,mom, sister and also blind buy for yourself ! Bottle and box are astronomical, thick and heavy, a pleasure to reach for on daily basis. Just beautiful all and all to receive and collect. She is the girl who has a busy day, and looks elegant and put together at work. She arrives always 10 minutes early with her coffee or tea at hand, lipgloss and hair always perfect but looking effortless. She's a beast in operations and keeps all in check for everyone with firmness, but she's also incredibly funny when she breaks the role and has a sweet smile. She's clean, approachable even though she's classy. She loves a good Excel spreadsheet, and she loves to let her hair loose and go for a wine at sunset with her colleagues after work. If she wears this on a date, she might quite surprise you, as she's spicy in her own way in private xxx

(Matured for 6+ months currently) I'm obsessed with this. Such an underrated gem for summer! The opening hits you with a hefty dose of sandalwood and a touch of citrus brightness. It's fresh without feeling overly citrusy, if that makes sense! The sandalwood takes centre stage from the beginning and thankfully never turns pickly on my skin. Instead, it's smooth, creamy and never dry. There are spices running through, but they're blended so seamlessly that I can't pick out individual notes. They add warmth without stealing the spotlight from the sandalwood. You absolutely have to enjoy sandalwood to appreciate this beauty though! As it develops, there's a sweetness that I think comes from the ylang ylang? It isn't sugary or vanillic. It simply softens the woods and adds a lush, almost fruit like richness. I have heard that ylang can smell like banana to some noses, but it doesn't give me any banana vibes here. I don't get much coconut, but I think it's there to add creaminess rather than being noticeable. Don't fear, coconut haters! I think you'll enjoy this one. The dry down is heavenly, and just gets more beautiful as the day goes on. The amber in the base adds depth and boosts the longevity, whilst the musk helps the fragrance melt with your skin. It smells like you, but more sun kissed. The perfume isn't overly sweet, but the solar notes make it slightly feminine leaning. It's beachy without smelling like sunscreen. It's cosy yet elegant and feels incredibly well blended. Oh Lattafa, you've really out done yourselves!

As a long time crystal noir fan, I can say with shock this has replaced it, it’s not as good as 2004 Crystal Noir but it kicks modern days ASS and I still really like the reformulation! They don’t smell similar but the vibe is the same: a headstrong, seductive woman, femme fatele type with a shred of softness inside her. If you aren’t one of those people that can wear Crystal Noir in summer, this is a really good alternative. it’s hard to get that mysterious and hot vibe in the summer, so massive props. The ylang and spices (which smell near identical to sweet ginger ale/beer) are the main notes on first spray which together provide a pleasant tea-esque quality, there is a sensual heaviness from the sandalwood too. Nothing dominates the other between these three and the freshness of bergamot and orange is like detailing on a painting. At first the coconut had been dried out by the sandalwood and engulfed by the ylang and spicy ginger but then... THAT DRY DOWN! the slightly tropical coconut sweet cream makes its appearance and it’s in absolute perfect harmony with all the other notes. So sexy. Reminds me faintly of Commodity Milk Orchid, something about the creaminess/sweetness but way less fresh / not laundry. This lasts 12 hours on me and I specially love the sweeter woody coconut milk scent, I get around hour 4. I wish it had a tad more protection but at that price who gives a damn. I agree this works in all seasons, all occasions, I’ve found myself just popping this on. It may have even become my signature.

YYYYYY in the world have I just now got this🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ First sniff, oh my my....tbc That was my out of the box, spray off the top 5 times, then spray the box inside reaction. Then I sprayed 2 sprays on my upper arm, as well as 2 other scents on the back of each my hands. This was over shooting the other 2 by a mile. This was there long after the other 2, until I washed off. I told my husband if I had of bought this at the beginning of this fragrance thing, we could have saved a lot of money. Oh and I should just go ahead and get another, I will be able to wear this all the time, anywhere, for anything. I immediately made this my signature bc finally, shouldn’t a signature be able to be worn all year, anytime. I tried 2 others, one was too much for Summer, the other not enough for cold. After all that here’s the scent, it opens with a hint of citrus, fresh spiciness, quickly the coconut takes hold and sticks. The ylang ylang and sandalwood with the coconut are creamy sweet. In the background is a fresh, spicy airiness. This is blended so well and the best sandalwood I think I have. This is a strong one, go easy on the sprays at the appropriate times. I had my whole house smelling like this as I trailed through my chores with my normal application. I went light as I applied for bed, little goes a long way. I am in love, I think they made it for me😬 ♾️/10

Wowsers!!!! I decided to give this perfume a try after reading all the rave reviews....and....I'm so glad I did! What a BEAUTY! I have Prada Paradox, which smells high-end luxurious, and super refined. And this delight from Lattafa is definitely a close contender! Not that they smell alike, but if you've smelt Prada Paradox, you'll understand what I'm saying. Musamum White Intense is a stunning creation! It's ultra feminine on me. Along with the reviews, the other reason I bought it is because I've been trying out more woody spicy juices... I've only had it for a week, and used it twice and I am not getting any woody and spicy notes at all. Maybe it still has to macerate/mature. However that hasn't put me off this perfume. The first spray was a delicious creamy coconutty vanilla.....it lasted all day. I don't know about the sillage as I wore it at home. I also sprayed in the evening and it lasted all night. I woke up to the prettiest girlie floral dry down scent. The second time I wore it, it was much stronger and I didn't smell as much of the coconut, it smelt sweet, powdery and delicate floral. Hmmm I love it. I've tucked it away and will try it again after a week or two and come back here for an update. Whether or not the other notes come through will not faze me. I bought it for the wood and spice but I'm staying for the candy nice.🥰
