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.

When I first received Queen of Arabia I liked it okay but wasn’t wowed. I let it sit 5 weeks and just pulled it out 2 days ago. The heavy alcohol smell is gone and it’s a gorgeous fragrance. The dry down is a powdery vanilla with a hint of coconut and salt. It’s now in my top 3. Bonus, it’s one of my husband’s favorites too. Like I mentioned, it needs to mature but it’s totally worth waiting 4-6 weeks. It’s a beast mode fragrance. I have to shower to remove it. I sprayed it around 9pm Saturday night and at 4pm Sunday it was still going strong. Can’t recommend this one enough.

If Heliotrope were a person... I'd hug it! Or ask for an autograph! It definitely was a supporting actress to Queen of Arabia's day show! I got 4 bonus flaconnes of : La Collection d'Antiquités 1910, Masa, Ishq al Shuyukh Gold and Dream of Haze! I agree with another commenter that other Houses of Scents should follow suit in lagniappe for customers! I am such a fan of the coconut , Rohan and Heliotrope in Queen of Arabia... I am wearing it today with Rose Dew by Sand + Fog and Cinderella BBW. It is very regal scent suitable for meetings and workspaces during the day...

This is a new bottle. The opening was sharp woody almost slightly smoky as others have said but I understand this improves once left to sit a few weeks. After 10mins the strong woody note settles into something more subtle and the coconut then shines through. This is truly a Unisex fragrance as its not sweet. Its a dry, woody coconut. I don't get any powder note fortunately as I hate powdery perfumes. You can totally make this more feminine leaning with other coconut layering or Angham etc. Or more masculine leaning with a woody or citrus/aquatic type mens fragrance.

love perfumes with coconut and vanilla notes, and this one truly surprised me. What an elegant and delicious fragrance. I smell a creamy, vanilla-infused coconut milk — and it’s not that sunscreen-like, beachy, sun-on-skin coconut. It’s a sophisticated coconut, richer, more enveloping, almost velvety. A soft sweetness, warm in the perfect way, and never cloying. I honestly feel like wearing it every single day. It’s the kind of scent that melts into the skin and makes you feel effortlessly well-perfumed. The longevity is impressive as well.

Gorgeous, sweet, powdery, creamy coconut drenched in vanilla with prominent salty nuance which evokes a refreshing feel. The picture that comes to mind is being in the sun all day on the beach and you get whiffs of your coconut scented sunscreen radiating from your tanned golden skin. You jump in the ocean and your coconut sunscreen mixes with the salty ocean transforming you into the queen of Arabia. And how generous of Lattafa to include 4 samples of other scents included with this bottle? I need a backup of this beauty asap. Obsessed.

I love this one a lot more than any of the other Vanilla powder dupes. With dupes like Riiffs- fleurie Violette having an added rose note in it, or Khadlaj- fursan white severely lacking in the sillage department, Queen of Arabia has none of those flaws. It smells nearly 1:1 with vanilla powder, has beast mode projection + longevity, AND it has a gorgeous bottle. For about 50€, you can't really go wrong with it. (I like that you also get 4 other sample size perfumes to try out alongside the bottle)

No início quando dei a primeira pulverização vinha o que se falava sobre algo a gasolina ou queimado mas a partir das seguintes pulverizações isso desapareceu e deu ao que posso chamar um vício para quem ama baunilha! Aqui temos uma baunilha cremosa misturada com côco (não é coco de praia mas leite frutuoso) e sal. Uma fragância elegante e sexy. Só é pena é ter que borrifar bastante pelo menos de manhã e início da tarde, tende a ficar rente à pele à medida que assenta. Mas é viciante.

This is one of my all time fragrances. When I first got it I thought it was okay but after 6 weeks maturing, I was in love. It’s a soft, powdery vanilla with coconut, salt and sandalwood. It’s also beast mode. I go swimming with It on and still can smell it when I’m done. It lasts until you wash with soap and even then it still may linger. The bottle is gorgeous. I can’t recommend this enough.

I just blind bought this thinking that even if the fragrance is not to my liking i can still admire the increadible presentation! The juice is good guys! The juice is good! Nothing like i have smelled before, maybe it's the salt..i don't know, but this definately is not another sweet coconut and vanilla perfume. I love it, however, I don't see younger audience liking this!

Inače ne podnosim amber notu u parfemima ali u ovome mi ne smeta. Nota kokosa prevladava,meni miriše predivno. Traje jako dugo. Na mojoj koži 8 sati,na odjeći se osjeti i drugi dan. Ukoliko volite kokos a amber vam ne smeta svidjeti će vam se ovaj parfem. Parfem koji se osjeti. Ljudi oko tebe ga osjete. Po meni je više zimski parfem.

This is lovely! I'm not normally a coconut fan because they can be awfully sweet, but this doesn't lean sweet on my skin at all. So far, one spray has lasted 9 hours. It doesn’t fill a room, but my husband says he catches a bit of it when I walk past, which is perfect in my books. Very happy with this one!

This is actually a beautiful fragrance. It is similar to vanilla powder initially, but ONLY at the opening, but then it quickly takes a very different turn with that salt note. I love it. It will be great for the summer. Very much summer vibes. On a tropical beach vaction drinking a pina colada.

This is like Vanilla Powder's stepsister. Very pretty and scratches the same itch, just not as beast mode. I still like having BOTH, though, and feel they are different enough to do so. This one is easy to wear in the high heat. It is a bit more aquatic. I love it as well

I have Vanilla Powder and while I haven't compared side by side yet... This is definitely vanilla powder. Crazy. And this is nuclear... Two sprays max. I sprayed 3 when I got it and I could smell it on a different floor of the house. @RackEmForMe your nose is broken.

If you don't like coconut or powdery vanillas, this is not for you. It's not a gourmand vanilla at all. To me it smells like coconut water and vanilla essence mixed with amber. It's elegant and versatile. Would say moderate weather works best.
