Pisa

Nose Note #790 I haven't tried the OG, but I have Jean Lowe Azure. I can't say one is better than the other, they are just different when you compare them side by side. Pisa feels much more "cute", it's more sugary, not just abstractly sweet - it gives a feeling of an orange juice sprinkled with sugar. Jean Lowe Azure is less sweet and kind of more lemony. When I smell them side by side I have to say the differences between the scents make both smell sort of not good. But wearing them solo, boy, they are so beautiful. I definately favor Pisa more. It just feels more exciting. It's not a mindblowing DNA, but I'm getting a sensation of excitement from it, which I don't get often. And it's a very uplifiting, happy scent. I think it's unisex, maybe slightly more masculine. Performance is the worst thing about it. Just about average, which is what you would expect from a good freshie. Price is justified. Amazing presentation, great scent. I don't get the Tygar comparison. Tygar is soapy grapefruit, ginger and ambroxan - Pisa has none of that. Very very distantly you may say it does remind of Tygar, maybe 20%. I'd say it's more like a D&G Light Blue (for women), but reimagined. 8.4/10, very decent scent

This is basically Eros Energy but there are slight differences side by side. On the opening is almost identical, but the following are noteworthy; Energy is punchier while Pisa isnt quite as bold; a bit milder. This difference becomes increasingly more prominent as time goes by. Energy basically has all the citruses while Pisa is devoid of either its blackcurrant, or an unlisted pineapple note which gives Energy a certain tanginess. Pisa is also lacking in woody/oakmoss accords which Energy has. This is nitpicking side by side though, coz the first thing I thought when I sprayed it was that this reminds me of energy. It becomes noticeable different from energy in the car dry down though, an energy has a musky base whole this doesn't. I don't think it smells close to the Tygar dna at all. That one has a specific effervescence that Pisa lacks. Basically this is a citrus heavy summer scent. Less punchier version of Eros Energy, very cool heavy bottle, good price! I'm here for it!

Lovely classic lemon citrus freshie opening with a nice aquatic note on a woody amber base. I think the aquatic part is from ambroxan and/or calone. Very refreshing and cooling, perfect for a hot summers day. Seems very simple, not a complicated composition. Some people are comparing it to Tygar, which to me is incorrect - Tygar has grapefruit in the opening, this is very lemony. The watery dry down reminds me more of a LV frag e.g., Afternoon Swim. Performs acceptably for a freshie. The citrus top notes fade quite fast to leave the watery, woody base, which lasts well . The quality is very good, equal to many designer frags. I can’t fault this and would definitely love to wear it in very warm weather. I might buy this when my other freshies run out.

This is my favorite fragrance from Lattafa. It’s a very citrusy scent that’s highly addictive and of high quality. To me, it smells like LV Afternoon Swim, with the orange scent being particularly persistent. It’s mostly suitable for summer. The only downside is its performance, which lasts no more than three hours for me. However, the high quality and price make it justifiable. Do I like it? Yes Would I wear it? Absolutely Does it last? Less then 3 hours Did it blow me away? Yes Safe blind? Yes Worth the price? Yes Is it unique? Yes Overall rating: 9/10

I’m a woman that loves this fragrance. I gravitate towards citrus and it doesn’t fail. It’s a refreshing and energizing scent that starts with bright, zesty citrus notes, primarily lemon and orange. It’s balanced with a fresh earthiness. If you spray responsibly this is a great office or dining out option. You will smell great, but the silage and projection are just right. My office mates aren’t dreading me walking by. The table next to me can smell their wine.

First things first this isn't an exact clone of anything but it does take a lot of your favorite elements from some of these other fragrances and that being said at first when I got this I liked it quite a lot now I love it the lemon is shining so beautifully with that little bit of spices and woods. I'm going to have to review this thing again. Fragrance Fan is my Channel if you want to see what I have to say about it. It's pretty Blind buy safe

The bottle is a literal hammer, the quality is out of this world, the presentation is amazing along with a pretty good atomizer. It’s the smell that matters which is a pretty sharp citrus and veryyyy simple but really good. Extremely safe blind buy too. 10/10 smells like LV afternoon swim just blind buy it you won’t be disappointed

It’s a wonderful easy fresh with great quality perfume very good longevity 7-9 hrs and good silage, I enjoy it during summer and daily casual activities gym and office. I think Latafa really is doing great job with high quality ingredients and top notch presentation.

Got this at Burlington on markdown for $19. More of a lemon than orange smell to me, but the mandarin is still there. Good dumb reach, lasts a long time on me, leaves a scent trail.

this is amazeballs very amazing scent makes you feel luxuriou!!!!!!!

This one is actually pretty decent for the price. It's a straight lemon spring/summer fragrance and it's supposed to be a clone, I believe, of Tygar. I'm actually waiting for my Tygar decant in the mail, so I can't do a side-by-side, but I can describe this scent as it is. The lemon, at first, disappointed me because I wanted a more sophisticated scent rather than something linear- but then I realized this is a $45 bottle and sophistication doesn't come with it. For the price though, this is actually a solid fragrance and should be considered as an add on to your collection if you want a lemon freshie. One other thing about this fragrance is the unique and heavy bottle. It's a metal replica of the Tower of Pisa. It's heavy and pretty solid metal- so you're actually getting a decent sturdy bottle with a solid lemon freshie. As an afterthought, I would also like to compare this fragrance to Afternoon Swim by LV. It's almost a similarly identical fragrance to that as well. Afternoon Swim has a sparkling touch added to it, while Pisa is exactly the same but without that sparkling twist. If you like Afternoon Swim and you want a budget friendly version of it, Pisa is where you would want to go. Edit- After having both Pisa and Afternoon Swim for a while, I change my mind. They are not alike. Pisa is also not a decent clone of Tygar. But with that being said, Pisa is still a very nice, mass appealing lemon scent. I like it. A solid 8/10.

Sweet mandarin and lemon which comes off like an ice-cold orange/lemonade mixed beverage, perfect on a scorching day. After about 20 minutes the cedar started peaking through in the heart, before slowly shifting into the creamy semi-sweet amber sandalwood background oud base. Before you mature the fragrance there can be a weird oudy transition from heart to base; that mostly goes away after a month. Anyhow, I get more Afternoon Swim than I do Bvlgari Tygar and the Vibrato vibes are smallest of the three. It feels like 70% Afternoon Swim, 25% Bvlgari Tyger, 5% Sospiro Vibrato...if I was forced to come up with arbitrary percentages.

6/10 I had it and i sold it... I fall for the hype that YouTubers made around it's name, and i blind bought it... For MY taste, this is just an OK smell, nothing unique or groundbreaking about it... A fresh bergamot scent that works good for Summer and Spring days or as a gym scent. Moderate longevity & weak projection.. The presentation is good, the bottle is nice (i think) and heavy... But on the other hand, anyone can say that this bottle design, doesn't remind you that this is a fragrance bottle...

I don’t know if I got a bad batch, but this is very weak. I sprayed it five times and could barely smell it. But man, it smells so good. Woody, slightly sweet, with some beautiful citrus notes. It’s not just one flat citrus note either. You can pick up a few different ones, and they all blend together really well. It’s fresh, masculine, and very easy to like. I’m honestly considering buying another bottle just to see if mine is a bad batch, because the scent itself is amazing. Very good. 7.5/10

I like Pisa but there's nothing special here. 1. Its all lemon, dry leamon skin kind of fragance. Its not bright or uplifting or juicy, just strong Lemon. 2. The scent profile is very linear. It remains same and just fade away with time 3. Atleast for me, it doesn't last on skin. Hardly 2 hour and then it becomes skin scent 4. On clothes, its 4-6 hours but again, its not bright or uplifting so it's more like lemon skin rather than lemon juice

This one is good. I’m not always a citrus fan but it’s giving more citrus peel than citrus juice imo, which makes it much more appealing to me. The cedar brings it down to a rich earthiness and it’s not really sweet which is great. Longevity isn’t great. Overall I’d say if you like citrus it’s a safe blind buy, and if you’re on the fence about it like me it may change your mind.

Great quality. Very simple scent and that is a good thing. The citrus is very smooth. Probably best for spring/summer or office/gym wear.

is like Turathi blue less spicy mixed with Jean Lowe Immortal without amber in the base.

This fragrance packs a punch, and honestly, not in a good way. The seller told me in advance that it's a very masculine scent and I have to agree with him. But that's not really the problem here; it's this lingering bitter "cucumbery" scent that irks me whenever I smell it from my neck. The bitterness isn't like a zesty bitterness, but more akin to the vegetal bitterness from a bitter gourd/bitter melon. I'm assuming they are coming from the wooden notes in the middle and base scents. Other than that, it does however feel like a nice scent you'd get from the interior of a well-maintained car, like a car owned by a hardworking individual who is meticulous but very kind in demeanour and has taken the courtesy to give you a ride home. But to be fair, I'd rather that scent stay in the car and not on me. Perhaps what I mean here is that I am okay if someone whom I am only meeting for lunch wears this scent, but I wouldn't want this smell to be on me the whole day and get me mildly upset with a bitter melon linger.

In my opinion, Pisa by Lattafa Perfumes is only about 40–50% similar to Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim. I honestly don't understand why so many people call it a dupe. The opening is my least favorite part. The lemon note smells very cheap and artificial, reminding me of a household cleaner or those lemon breath-freshening candies. The mid notes improve slightly, but unfortunately the dry down becomes unpleasant again and develops into a low-quality smell. Overall, the bottle design is nice, and both longevity and projection are decent. However, the fragrance itself lacks good transitions, depth, and a unique artistic character. To me, it feels more like a generic citrus scent rather than something refined or memorable. Final rating: 5/10.

First things first, presentation is stunning, quality of the bottle and packaging is second to none. The heavy metal bottle is like a souvenir you would get when you visit the leaning tower of Pisa, or similar to a little metal Eiffel Tower or statue of liberty. If it was on your desk or shelf, it would look just like a souvenir from a trip. The scent is lemony fresh, similar to Tygar, or Turathi Blue. It smells good, but sadly the performance is terrible. On my skin and clothes it is weak, and does not project beyond an arms length. It only lasts for an hour or two and then its gone. It's sort of worth having for the bottle alone, but as a perfume, there are better options out there.

I had this, and have already sold it. It’s another Tygar clone, and it’s good in its own right, but it’s too sour for my tastes. The opening is really strong, and pushes out pretty far, I did get compliments when wearing it, but I didn’t enjoy wearing it. It’s a strong freshie that lasts, easily getting 7-8 hours in the heat. The bottle is also really nice, having enough heft to club someone with, it just wasn’t for me. From Lattafa, here are the notes. The listing currently doesn’t match, but that may change over time: Top - Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon Heart - Calone, Cedar Wood Base - Sandalwood, Dry Amber

The opening is similar to Afternoon Swim not exactly the same, but close. However, the dry down isn’t good. It turns into a kind of synthetic oud, woody smell mixed with the citrus, and that’s when it stops smelling similar to Afternoon Swim. Only the opening is good

Marginally close to Afternoon Swim. 65-70% close. Moderate projection, turns to a skin scent in 3 hours At $40 it’s a decent value, if it drops to sub $30 it would be worth a grab.

Blind buy at Burlington for cheap. Not my kind of thing but not bad for the price. It's Versace Eros Energy but cheaper and in a cooler bottle.

Very poor longevity. It is a poor performer under schorching heat in Indian summer. Disappointed.

I can smell vanilla. So far from LV Afternoon swim. It’s sweet and simple. Such disappointment

Pisa is repackaged Lattafa Wajood with little bit more generic citrus notes added on the top. You’re welcome. Anyone who compares it with LV Afternoon Swim has completely lost their mind. It’s not bad , performance is beastly but it might be redundant if you have Kenzo or aforementioned Wajood , just saying. But then again if you’re buying it just for a bottle I can relate, looks awesome.

Does not smell like Tygar at all to my nose - not sure why it's drawing comparisons to that one. The opening of this one smells like cheap lemon candy - I was not a fan. The dry down was slightly better, but overall I was left feeling like the scent had an overall cheap feel and smell, with not much depth. Lemon candy freshie, nothing special to me. 2/5.

It hit me. I realized the imagination clone comments are sensible and how it’s not exactly, and the Eros energy... it does have that vibe. Like a combo of imagination and energy. It blew my mind when I realized it reminds me of the emotion of drinking lemonchelo.

TO be honest.. i am only giving imagination 7/10... this is a 9/10. it has a chill effect and the citrus is not too much . its perfect for gym.. if you think Channel fragrances are best gym frag.. you ought to try this an thank me later.. GYM 10/10 awesome

Great scent! This profile just doesn't last as long as one might hope but in the summer it's hard to judge when you're outside a lot and sweating. But the bottle alone is decor lol. I definitely use it and spray a Lot, very refreshing.

Reminds me of Lacoste White. Doesn’t smell like Tygar, I can see afternoon swim but the drydown is way different. Do I think it’s a LW clone? No but it reminds me of it.

After an initial rough citrus opening that did smell a bit like a bottle of cif it did calm down into a smoother lovely citrus bomb after about 20 mins

This scent smells fantastic, great longevity and amazing dry down 10/10

Had a sample of this and all i remember is it didnt perform AT ALL.

Lasts 4 hours on skin. Buy rather Afnan Turathi Blue

This scent smells amazing, great longevity

very similar to Turathi blue by afnan
