Queen Of Arabia

I've just received this fragrance yesterday and upon first impression it smells beautiful. It smells like a soft fluffy vanilla with woodsy resins notes. I've wore it to bed on my skin in the inner of my elbows and woke up in 7 hours and I still was able to smell it as a skin scent. I can see this fragrance being worned in all seasons and will not be offensive in any setting. Also you can layer this fragrance with other sweet or spicy fragrances. Now, this is first impression for me and I tried very hard to see what fragrances I have in my collection that this fragrance reminds of, but I don't have something like this in my collection. I thought that it would reminded me of Angham by Lattafa and its only give me less than 20% close. Then I thought about my Kayali Wedding Silk Santal and it was a no, because the Wedding Silk Santal was a lot sweeter and fluffier Vanilla. Next, it was both my regular Khamrah and Khamrah Qahwa and they are at least 15% to 20% close........however it will have to be a NO for me because both versions have that cinnamon apple vanilla spice blast. Then I tried my Rifaaqat by Paris Corner and that will also be another No and it is in the same 15% to 20% closeness to Khamrah/ Qahwa by Lattafa. I have watched a small amount of YouTubers who have already reviewed this fragrance and the intel I have gathered it is a clone of "Vanilla Powder" by Matiere Premiere that cost $250 which I'm shock about the price. Also, the Queen of Arabia package comes with (4) travel sprays that looks to be 5ml and they are not reusable, I tried to unscrew each one, but they will not come off. So once you are done using them, than throw it away. The four travel spray names are: Eternal Oud, Nebras, Art Of Arabia III, & Vintage Radio. I don't know if all Queen of Arabia packages will have the same exact ones but this is what I had in my package. They also have the King of Arabia fragrance for men which I will get for my husband because I love gifting him fragrances and he loves the house of Lattafa that I got him hooked on and he is my King and of course my husband must have the same thing or better like me. The notes that I found on the Lattafa USA website are below: Top Notes: Ylang Ylang, Nutmeg, Grapefruit Zest Middle Notes: Asmine - (Jasmine), Rose, White Florals Base Notes: vanilla, Amber, Soft Woods The fragrance Queen of Arabia is a 10 out of 10 for me and I can't wait to see how it transforms over time. FYI : This is a new release, however I had my eyes on it for a little over 2 months ago back in June 13 or 14th 2025. I had it in my cart since then before pushing the button to order it.

First impressions; I got this scent because I have another fragrance inspired by the same dna. So I already knew I'd like this since I love Khadlaj's Fursan White. I'll be making comparisons between the two throughout. Both are a powdery coconut & vanilla with a side of almond(with QoA's almond smell coming from the Heliotrope). But that's for mid & dry down. The biggest difference is the openings. Fursan White has a brighter fresher opening. QoA goes straight into the powdery body of the scent. FW is a bit more layered imo. QoA is more lactonic & creamy while FW is a touch more sweeter. Both have the same level of saltiness, even though FW doesn't list the note. And finally, QoA is more aromatic which makes it perhaps project just a little bit better. But Fursan White is quite dense so it has plenty of power of it's own & projects very well. In all honesty, I feel like the strong performance strength for both is in the same range(with FW being slightly more powerful, but that could be because it's aged more). Both are year round scents, day or night. Which one would I pick as of now?....I lean toward Fursan White, mainly for it's brighter opening & it being a little more complex imo. But I'd be happy with either because they do smell very very similar. I'll be back in a few months with a final review after giving Queen of Arabia some time to sit & develop more...then we'll really see. Very happy to have both in my collection. Because of that, I like that there are some slight differences. ;)

This fragrance offers a smooth, creamy vanilla coconut scent that leans more towards the lighter, airier side compared to traditional vanilla powder. I find this more appealing, as the woodiness from the Palo Santo in the other fragrance can feel overwhelming and somewhat earthy. However, this scent comes close to that profile without being overpowering. The coconut in this fragrance is far from the nauseating sunscreen type often found in popular coconut scents, which is a significant plus. When I first purchased it, I hoped it wouldn't carry that sickly sunscreen aroma. "Queen of Arabia" does have some sweetness, but it’s not the heavy, sugary gourmand kind. Instead, it presents a more subtle sweetness that develops over time and remains unintrusive. It features a creamy touch of florals and a hint of sandalwood, making it suitable for year-round wear. The lasting power is impressive, lasting between 8 to 10 hours. This fragrance is an easy reach, thanks to its performance and versatility. The note breakdown provided on the Lattafa UAE website is accurate, while the notes listed on the US website may be incorrect. Notably, there are no grapefruit notes listed for this fragrance on any other websites that I know of, nor does it smell citrus-heavy. If you did not enjoy the heavy, earthy undertone of vanilla powder as I did and wished it were a slightly sweeter vanilla scent, then this fragrance might be up your alley. Happy sniffing!

I got this perfume beacuse i wanted something similar to Vanilla Powder. First of all , I love the presentation. Not only is the most luxurious presentation of Lattafa I have seen yet but is surpassed designer and niche perfume presentations in the market. When it comes to the scent , is so lovely , summery and luxurious. From the first spray I get coconut and salt then vanilla comes through. Although I can’t talk yet for longevity, projections is softer than I would like especially when VP is such a beast. Maybe it would get better with maturation. I believe it would be great in the Miami summers. This can be layered with Mussaman Intense , Petra and so many more perfumes from my collection and I am excited to try them.

The only Vanilla Powder dupe I will accept!! It is supeeeerrrr close to the original, except I feel that the vanilla in this is more amped up than in the original. Kinda gives me spa day vibes. To me it's like stepping into a wooden sauna after you've just lathered yourself in coconut oil. Its sweet without being gourmand (which I love), and smells very sophisticated. It also has very good performance straight out of the box (though it's gotten even stronger over the past few months I've owned it). Projects like a mofo. If you love a dry, woody vanilla that's not too sweet, I think you'll enjoy this one.
