Petra

For me the blind buy idea of Petra was to do with an ancient city, so famous from the adventure movies and history documentaries. This is not what the fragrance is about. There is no "ancientness" in it, and I am not complaining. It opens up with a crisp plum note, slightly unripe with a zesty skin, followed by molasses. I do not feel rum, but I hear molasses very well (possibly because I used to trade them for rum production over a decade ago), regardless, I will not mistaken molasses with anything. And guess what, - green plum and molasses work wonderfully well together. There is zesty and light spiciness, which is attention grabbing and full of character. The note gave off the colour of a dravite tourmaline gem - yellow-green with ochre or brown undertones. The heart of the composition was not long behind. What I like is that it didn't just barge in, especially seeing how contrasting the notes are, but "walked in" carrying itself with elegance and confidence. I will be honest, - I was worried about the coconut; it's one of my least favourite notes and I find it always creates overkill in whatever composition it is introduced it into. In Petra the coconut appears to focus on the job of amplifying the milky quality of tuberose, as well as balancing it against becoming too "drunken" - think of molasses/rum presence. The plum extends its presence into heart of the perfume, supplying zest and crispiness of its skin, but being more ripe and rounded. This trio are most wonderfully blended and matched, and make a most delicious and enjoyable scent together. As plum recedes, tuberose and coconut are joined by vanilla and musk, swirling into an airy and delicately sweet cloud. They are neither too sugary nor syrupy, but provide a delicious and happy-feeling note, which made me want to sniff my own skin over and over. The dry down became more musky with subtle spice (probably praline?), again perfectly balanced and delectable. The projection is very good, without going beastly, and the composition itself is enticing rather than all-conquering and blinding everyone's olfactory senses for miles around. It definitely has a lasting power, better on clothes, with 6+ hours of good sillage. It became a skin scent on me after 4+ hours, but did not go completely mute, instead becoming intimate and flirtatious. I am most impressed and pleased with my blind purchase of Petra and once again make a bow before Lattafa's ability and dedication to creating a great quality, imaginative perfume and giving joy and satisfaction at a most reasonable price point!

I swear Lattafa is coming for some of these expensive niche house’s necks because WHAT! Petra was dislike as first sniff because I got rum and nothing but faint tuberose in the drydown for the first few days.. let me tell you it’s been a week and I’m in love. The rum has toned down and now you get rum and tuberose with juicy plum wafts and creamy thick coconut that brings everything together in a beautiful feminine boozy way. I wasn’t prepared for Petra to smell this good.. this niche. It’s an evolving scent that’s so damn seductive. I don’t get why so many people mention musk because I only get the perfect about of musk in the sweet spiced rummy tuberose forward drydown where things are lighter sweeter and spiced from that rum. Before the drydown I get zero musk because the scent is so boozy juicy and creamy smooth that there’s just so much sexiness going on and it definitely doesn’t get more tame until that musky sweet spiced ending where it sits closer to the skin but the opening is so addictive with a burst of juicy and boozy but the mid... my god the mid is where the notes play together in the perfect blend where it takes focus to pic out individual notes you’re smelling. It’s a masterpiece at a price that should be illegal to smell this good. Some of these fragrances truly make me wonder why we pay certain brands hundreds of dollars especially Roja and Clive Christian. If we see complex and masterful niche can be done and sold in a beautiful bottle at a reasonable price then what the heck do we keep spending so much on when it comes to some of these brands? Because some don’t even truly try when it comes to packaging either yet this gem.. it’s perfect all around!

This is SEXY! The kind of woman that silences a room just by gliding in. Yes, she glides. She is downright fabulous in everything she does. A gorgeous woman is heading to an exclusive yacht party. Most weren’t even invited and yet she was at the top of the list kind of exclusive. Glowy skin, gold jewelry and a cream linen cover up set, over a cream colored triangle bikini with gold detailing. Her scent has to reflect the day she will have: she grabs for Petra. The wind is whipping through her luscious locks, as she sips from her champagne glass and looks beyond the ship and the rippling waters. Luscious wafts of her scent permeate the air and the entire memory. Petraaaa 💋 I can’t stand a boozy fragrance and yet I’m madly in love with this. All my nose gets is the wealthiest coconut and tuberose ever. If you love coconut and tuberose, I don’t see how you can go wrong as the booze is light, as well as the musk which is light, clean but airy with just enough pizazz to linger. The plum, vanilla and praline is SO yummy. Sweet but not overly so, very balanced actually. There is absolutely nothing juvenile about this scent, her bank account has to many zeros for that 🥂✨ If you want to make the people go absolutely mad: Layer Eos coconut lotion, Golden sands rollerball fragrance oil (Amazon) and Dolce and Gabbana The only one intense EDP. I’m wearing it right now. I’m downright emotional. I love fragrance so much 🥹😭✨✨

Petra was one of those fragrances that completely changed my mind. The first time I tried it from a sample, I honestly disliked it. The opening hit me with a strong boozy alcohol note almost like rum and it felt harsh and overwhelming. I couldn’t understand the hype. But as it developed, the rum slowly stepped into the background and the most beautiful sweet, creamy vanilla coconut started to emerge. What began as something I wasn’t enjoying transformed into an incredibly cozy, addictive scent that I couldn’t stop smelling. I understand why people are mentioning Khamrah, there are some similarities but still two very different perfumes (love them both). After wearing Petra for two days, I bought a full size bottle and now I’m obsessed. I still think the opening can be a little challenging, so I’m curious to see how it develops with some maceration. For that reason, I wouldn’t recommend blind buying it. However, I absolutely recommend sampling it because Petra is a fragrance that tells a story. It evolves dramatically from start to finish, and that journey is what makes it so special. Also your skin chemistry might bring out different scents of Petra, which is another reason why this fragrance is worth sampling before buying. Update: Wow the opening transformed into this seductive, warm, cozy and boozy coconut rum! I’m seriously obsessed

Best £30 I've spent in my life. Gorgeous perfume in an utterly beautiful presentation. The plum and rum notes in the opening are incredibly decadent. Once it settles, it melts into a really pretty tuberose and coconut, more heavily weighted towards coconut on my skin. While the opening notes feel quite heavy, this stage feels very fresh, green and dewy. The mid notes are sweet and last for some hours before the fragrance fades into the base notes, at which stage it becomes a very enjoyable vanilla musk with a hint of praline. Autumn has just begun in Ireland, and the sudden drop in temperature seems to suit Petra very much. I am really looking forward to wearing her in Winter, especially when it snows. I think it will be gorgeous. Performance-wise, it is nuclear! Two sprays really are more than enough. It is also very long-lasting. Both the bottle and the box are stunning. They sit well with my bottle of L'Air du Temps À Paris Chez Antoinette Poisson Edition Limitee 2022 by Nina Ricci which is also blue and white. I haven't tried layering Petra yet, but I feel it will work beautifully with coconut, tuberose or chocolate. I'm thinking Lait de Coco by Le Monde Gourmand for amped up coconut, Narcotic Venus or Carnal Flower for extra tuberose, and Sorriso or Chocolate Greedy for the vanilla and chocolate lovers.

There is so much information about this fragrance, reviewing it all is confusing and dizzying. I hesitated purchasing a bottle because some of the unlisted notes experienced by people frighten me. But I took the plunge. I have no words to describe this perfume. I was completely unprepared for the fragrance. And since first receiving and wearing Petra, the perfume has grown from a "meh" to an "absolute love." Petra is a soft, fruity-floral fragrance with a slightly sweet, musky vanilla base. Ripe, slightly spicy, boozy plum is most prominent in the opening, along with musk and vanilla. Tuberose emerges with perfection. To me, the perfume is simple but complex at the same time. There is something soft, comforting, soothing and warm about the fragrance. The dry-down is serene with perfectly sweetened plum, boozy rum, gentle musk and wonderful tuberose. After allowing Petra to sit unused (after initially spraying), the perfume seems smoother, creamier, better blended. I already blew through one bottle; I'm off to purchase a back-up. This perfume relaxes me and makes me feel good! Edited to add: It's July 2026 and I'm on a 2nd bottle! I love this perfume!

Lattafa Petra – A Coconut Lover’s Dream 🥥 If you’re a coconut enthusiast like me, Lattafa Petra is a revelation. This isn’t your typical beachy coconut splash—it’s elevated, elegant, and unlike anything in the mainstream perfume scene right now. (I might be biased cause we share the same name) From the first spray, Petra wraps you in a creamy, almost milky coconut that feels refined rather than sugary. It’s smooth, slightly woody, and has a quiet confidence that whispers luxury. No loud florals, no generic sweetness—just a beautifully blended coconut that stands out for its simplicity and sophistication. What makes Petra special is how it avoids the clichés. It’s not trying to be tropical or gourmand—it’s just unapologetically coconut, but in a way that feels niche and polished. I’ve worn it to meetings, dinners, and casual outings, and it always gets compliments. People ask what it is because it doesn’t smell like anything else they’ve encountered. If you’re tired of the same fruity-floral blends dominating shelves and want something that feels classy, creamy, and coconut-forward—Petra is your girl. 🥥✨

I'm giving this perfume a ten out of ten!. I haven't been this impressed / In love with a perfume so quickly in a long time. Total love at first sniff. On a personal level, it's hitting all the nostalgic buttons for me. The beautiful white and navy leaf pattern reminds me of a China we used to have as a child called “delftsblauw”. The scent of plum reminds me of the homemade plum jam my grandmother would make when I was a child from the trees in her backyard. But all that personal stuff aside, it's still an extremely beautiful perfume. The bottle is beautifully made and gorgeous. It's so decorative when out, and a pleasure to use. The scent is just awesome imo. It starts off like a beautiful strong plum scent that I adore. Then the florals come in a bit later. The addition of the coconut makes it so pretty and give it a slight tropical feel. It seems almost a bit creamy to me. But the beautiful beautiful tuberose and plum is there throughout. Just a gorgeous scent. Definitely one of my favourites. Also imo it's just the right strength and lasts well too.

Initially, I did not like Petra at all. She smelled weird to me — rummy, overly rich, almost confusing — and I genuinely could not understand the hype. Every time people raved about her, I was like... are we smelling the same perfume? But I kept testing her every time I visited the perfume store because I know some fragrances need time to macerate and fully come into themselves. Fast forward four months later and WOW. Testing Petra on skin this time around was a completely different experience. Suddenly she became this delicious, rich, plummy gourmand with a creamy sweetness that honestly feels intoxicating. Thick, syrupy, edible sweetness — the kind that almost burns the back of your throat. I get juicy plum, creamy coconut, soft vanilla praline in the dry down, and this overall decadent dessert-like warmth that feels luxurious and addictive. She is absolutely not for everyone, but if you enjoy expansive perfume collections with scents that have personality and depth, Petra is such a beautiful addition. Safe to say... I now own a bottle 😭🤎

It's been two days since I purchased a full bottle of Petra after it had been in my cart for a very long time. Based on the notes and the raving reviews I was expecting an experience, not merely a fragrance. Oh, how mislead was I. For the time being, I only get this boozy note which is off putting for me. Where are the florals? The coconut? I'm from the Mediterranean and I can tell you, Petra is not it! I'm hoping that with maceration this will transform into something wearable. I'm disappointed. On the upside, longevity seems pretty decent. However, I've been wearing it three days in a row and not a single person has commented on it. I'll have to just wait and see... Edit: ok, I feel like I have to retract! A week later the intense rum note has mellowed and now I get the juicy plum and a waft of florals in the background. This is really growing on me! You gotta believe in the power of maceration!

This met my expectations and I am so excited to have a good spring/summer perfume that makes me feel confident to wear. Yes, this is bold but in the best way possible. I am someone who likes bold perfume so I would wear this every day, day or night. The notes in this are well blended and evoke a beautiful sun drenched mediterannean-esque summer vacation. I think the marketing was pretty spot on. On first spray, the rum was STRONG. it smelled medicinal, kinda like vicks vapor rub. but please, PLEASE trust me when i say the dry down soon after is AMAZING. the rum mellows out fast and you will smell the coconut and vanilla- its delightful. I kept sniffing myself non stop. the strong initial vapor rub smell went away after the first few sprays. When i sprayed it again the next day, I immediately smelled all the notes in the best way possible.

Some scents are nice to smell and others feel like they belong on you. Petra is the second kind. From my first wear it hooked me. It's soft, inviting, enticing, sweet without being juvenile. It’s a little boozy but never heavy. More like a smooth sip that warms you from the inside and settles beautifully on the skin. I love the creamy tuberose, coconut, milk, vanilla, praline, and a touch of musk. The coconut is not in your face which I love. Coconut can drown out other notes so I'm glad it is a true supporting act in this and not the main character. The notes read gourmand, but not sticky-sweet. Just comfortingly delicious. Everything is blended so well that no single note shouts they all support each other. I love this one. It’s cozy, addictive, and totally wear-able. It has immediately become my go to.

It's giving sexy and rich, and to be specific, not "nouveau riche". The money this wearer possesses is inherited; grew up understanding its significance, but not being pretentious. She is at a quiet Mediterranean villa, seated under a canopy, adorned in white flowy linen, and an oversized hat. There is the whisper of a breeze; the temperature is mild. Initial blast of rum (I'm assuming this will mellow with oxidation). At first, it seems to combine with the tuberose to be a bit overpowering, but it quickly subsides. And then, the tuberose starts to frolic with the coconut in such a fresh and sweet harmony. Leaves a beautiful trail of scent which is a pleasant surprise. May leave the wearer wondering, "wait, is that me?" in the best way possible. Lovely contradiction.

I'm sick and tired of listening to the script that was given to influencers that say "it smells like summer in Greece". No, it doesn't! I am greek and there is nothing that reminds of Greece. It can bring in mind vacations on a cruise ship but this thing that i hear over and over that is inspired or reminds of Greece is overplayed. That being said, I LOVE Petra and like the script of "smells like Greece" it is also reviewed always wrong by influencers. They present it as a gourmand, super easy going fragrance, and it isn't! Petra is a boozy, fruity fragrance that has some sweetness in the background (after it sits for a few months) but it's not "sweet" gourmand. It is beautiful and sexy but I do thing that is one of the most wrongly presented fragrances out there.

I get Alien by Mugler in the opening (technically Lattafa Opulent Red, which is based on Armani Rouge Malachite), then Valaya by PDM in the mid, and Another 13 by Le Labo in the dry-down. Three familiar scents I already own, as if I layered them. I did try layering all 3 on paper, and I got an approximation of this but not an identical match. Either way, that is what this fragrance brings to mind when I wear it. I got it as a blind-buy (around $34 on Black Friday) after smelling it on a stranger. On her it smelled like plums and holiday spices. On me it’s those 3 perfumes I mentioned. It performs very well. I do not get Blanche Bête / Lactea Divina despite the tuberose. The tuberose reads as indolic Jasmine sambac to my nose.

I purchased a couple of months ago, was not impressed with it but put it away as I know some Arabian fragrances need to mature. In two months Petra has improved considerably- I’ve not seen any reviewers mentioning its similarities to Blanche bette. In the opening to me I get a citrus, it’s like a boozy citrus smell that is quite platonic and creamy at the same time Projection is moderate- longevity is average 2-6 hours from first sniff to it fading away. It is quite lovely and I can see myself wearing it at bedtime after a shower and then getting into a freshly made bed. It’s a comforting scent, not a big bold fragrance but a gentle tap on the shoulder- the bottle is stunning, I like it for the bottle alone.

I think this is one of those fragrances that smells vastly different on different people. It's a skin-chemistry chameleon. On me it's quite fresh, albeit in a slightly sweet way. I get a bit of tuberose but not a lot. On me there's almost an Invictus-like vibe to it, but without that Jockiest Jock in Jockworld overconfident youth thing that Invictus has. Like if someone invented a version of Invictus for men in their 30s and 40s. And yet when my husband wears it all I get is plums. It smells totally different on him. So weird. But good weird. (On me, anyway.) I like it, a lot. It's 50/50 whether you will like it or loathe it. Not a blind buy, try it first. The bottle design is also absolutely beautiful.

Lattafa has no business releasing masterpieces like this for these absurdly low prices: maybe this is one of the reasons why designer enthusiasts hate on the brand. No brand in the world is doing what Lattafa does for the price they do it. Petra starts strong with rum and plum and metamorphosises into a gorgeous tuberose-coconut scent, before finishing as a slightly sweet, dusty-tobacco scent that feels like expensive, intimate suede. It is absolutely unbeatable regardless of the price. It performs almost as well as Quattro Pizzi and projects loudly for ar least four hours. Best part is, it can be worn anytime and in any weather.

I am wondering if people that leave a review actually have Petra. There is absolutly no citrusy notes in this masterpiece, no milky notes, no Jasmine notes. It's Plum, lots of Tuberose,.coconut and a little vanilla and praline in the dry down. But the most proéminent notrs are Tuberose, Plum and a nice tropocal coconut. It's projection is good and it's longevity great. You need to let it maturate before using. But it is a beautiful niche perfume for a fait price. It's not a light flower beachy sent. She has depht, différent facettes. But it's ok if you don't like it, it won't be out of stock for the real conoisseurs 👌☺️😍
