Ramz Lattafa (Gold)

Some of the reviews on here seem like light jokes. I truly don't get the hatred for this! Off the opening note, I don't get the gasoline smell that everyone describes. I get a very aggressive green apple smell that lingers heavily alongside a florally white pear. I get how most would be extremely thrown off by this! It's wildly aggressive at first sniff! There's some rose that starts to show its head after a while, contrary to other comments. I think the main problem here is that the rose is lost in the blend. It's there but masked by a bunch of white florals, which I think makes it a bit difficult to enjoy if you buy this fragrance strictly for the rose. I'm not sure of the age of the bottle I purchased, though the dry down is where the scent starts to get really sweet, it's patchouli, vanilla, and a strong lingering white musk that lingers. I do see why some might not like it, though I have heard and I agree that maceration may be really good for this! It seems like one of those bottle that on first open, it's gonna smell very strong, and to some noses, offensive off the rip. Given some time to break down, this just seems like the type of fragrance to gain a ton of character. I wouldn't suggest this to everyone! It's a great smeller! Though it seems like that type of fragrance that would appeal to a certain audience. Similarly to how a certain kind of crowd loves Joop, Cordovan Vintage, etc... I think it's one of those. Some will just not like it, and some may see the appeal. It's a matter of a particular taste.

Beautiful fragrance. Proper fruit and spice bomb. Really fruity in the opening, I can detect apple, pear and pineapple, the latter being a note that's not even listed. As it dries down it becomes more mossy, woody and has a touch of vanilla to it. Really reminds me of Most Wanted By Night on the dry down, before that it's just super sweet and fruity. Definitely a unisex fragrance as long as you're a man that doesn't shy away from sweet frags, although I'd say it's more 60/40 in favour of feminine, but I'd say the same about Le Male and that's marketed purely towards men so hey ho. I got my bottle for £14 for 100ml, which is an absolute bargain. It's quite comfortably beaten other scent I've bought this year that were over £100 for 50ml. Longevity is really good, projection isn't, but it's more of an intimate scent so I didn't expect it to fill a room. Anyone that gets near will be in heaven though. I've no idea if it smells anything like Alexandria II as I've never tested/owned that, but if it does, I can see why Xerjoff sell a lot of bottles.

If I believed the reviews I would never have bought it. Thank God I didn’t 😍 It’s a great perfume if you like this DNA! The fact that it was really inexpensive made me believe for a second that it could be bad, but with Middle Eastern we should know by now that this is never the case. They can be of very low price and really good, like this one. Fruity opening with more peach than apple to my nose, beautiful rose and jasmine in the middle with a lovely sandalwood, musky vanilla and patchouli perfectly rounded together in the dry down. It lasted an amazing 12 hours on my skin right out of the box 😳 You have to like the rose/wood/musk/patchouli Middle Eastern touch to appreciate it, although it’s really toned down here, but it is there. And I love it! Not a slight “gasoline” smell like some mentioned below. Maybe a bad batch? So overall this is a 9/10 for me, making it very easy to wear anytime and anywhere. And in my opinion it leans more feminine ♥️

This is a kind of BOMB! at first sprayed it was so feminine i thought this perfume for women, after an hour OMG i just like it so much, this is a monster long lasting perfume for daylight, night, office and party, i got 2 of this LATTAFA RAMZ version SILVER and GOLD. 1. SILVER version = Oud, coffee, leather some others like a bit of pacco rabbane 1 million and more to creed - longevity 8 to 10 hours 2. GOLD version = Rose at first spray, after an hour the smell more to men and good performance, smell leather, a bit of oud, a bit coffee, fruity, same like Dolce & Gabanna but this kind more performance and long lasting to 8 to 12 hours, after woke up next morning i still can smell a bit this perfume. From Malaysia, good in hot weather, in hot weather it become more aggresive on skin, spray on shirt can get more long lasting for roses

Just received this fragrance. First sprays come off as a sweet masculine fragrance. To me it's lovely but I do get a tart or sour note after the first blast of fruity apple, maybe it's the pineapple? I noticed here it's missing several notes mentioned on Lattafa's page for this fragrance such as pineapple, bergamot and amber. Once it dries the woody notes really come out to play and it smells like a botanical herbalist shop. Smells like how I picture a cold October day in all of those Autumn movies (Practical Magic, Twilight, Hocus Pocus) of even what Ollivanders might smell like. I purchased this to wear during the colder months . Knowing Lattafa these fragrances you have to allow them to sit for about a month or so to get the full experience. For now this will be going into storage as I'm excited to see what this becomes.

Why is this perfume getting so much hate? This smells like Roses, Arabic roses if it makes sens?it is literally so nice, you can feel the peach in the sweetness, the rose and the musk and it has a lingering sweetness almost like a syrup. It is very unisex and not headache inducing like other Arabic perfumes. It is really unisex in a very fluid way, like it literally suits perfectly a man and a woman, not like other unisex perfumes that are really masculine or really feminine, it is very well balanced. The projection is good, the price is good and the silage is good too. Very clean and sweet at the same time if it makes sense, almost like a sweet clothes whash. I really like it and everyone that smelled it liked it. I really don’t get the hate:-??.

Ramz Gold smells like the beginning of an adventure. The rose is the star to my nose, but what I enjoy most is that I don't just smell the rose itself, I smell its fruitiness. The pear, peach, apple, and black currant seem to melt into the rose, creating a bright, juicy quality that feels natural rather than sweet. White musk and airy florals keep everything smooth and inviting. I find myself catching wafts of it throughout the day, which makes wearing it a pleasure. This isn’t a fragrance that tells people who you are. It’s a fragrance that suggests you’re someone worth getting to know. Projection: 8/10 | Sillage: 8/10 | Longevity: 9/1

I love this one. It always pleasantly surprises me when I sniff the cap then spray it on, like a quick pick-me-up. It doesn’t remind me of anything else I have, and it is just the right amount of sweet balanced with musk. It feels very adult to me. I can’t pick out any of the fruits listed, but I credit more of the sweetness to the white florals. I’m a sucker for jasmine sambac and orange blossom specifically. I am not a huge fan of rose, but it does not stand out among the other florals and it plays nicely with the sandalwood and musk. I would love this as a travel scent to keep me company on a long plane or train ride.

@vikkinca's right, the notes he posted are correct. I'm surprised this is not popular, I love it, it's so GOOD. I can't explain it. On another note, it doesn't have the lataffa DNA. In the opening I get gasoline, which I love?! 😭 Then it gets sweeter, you get the peach 🍑 maybe the orange blossom as well, can't decide. The dry down is soft and fresh, crisp from the apple. I definitely think this is unisex but I think it leans feminine. Also I forgot to mention that the dry down to me smells exactly like boss the scent.

Its a very good fragrance especially for the price I paid ($17 at Marshalls). Heck I’d pay more for this one. Every one at work compliments and tells me how good it smells. I see why some people might run away from this one cause it’s certainly not for everyone. Fruity, woody, with a lot of flowery scent. Its pretty strong at first but it tones down a bit later through the day. Also it lasts through out the day. Give a try before you buy though I did a blind buy with this one and I loved it.

I've had this one for years, and I've been torn between loving it and simply tolerating it. I had always believed that it resembled Alexandria II (which I've never tried) because of what I've read here. Today, I got my first travel spray of Ombre Nomade and discovered that Ramz Gold is almost exactly the same. So much so that I'm appalled no one else has mentioned it. Definitely no reason to spend such an exorbitant price just because the other bottle has the LV name on it.

A fruity powerhouse! Ramz Gold is like an artisanal jam. I'm not typically a fan of very "fruity" fragrances, but this is a fruity fragrance done right in my opinion. Ramz Gold could easily fall into the "juvenile" category if it weren't for the sandalwood and patchouli. I also think that the florals from the rose and orange blossom keep you from smelling like straight up fruity candy.

Definitely picking up the Rose, but I swear there's Saffron in this. This feels/smells A LOT like the limited but now-discontinued Boss Bottled Oud Saffron. From first sniff, it's what it seems most alike to. I can see the comparison to Xerjoff Alexandria II because just like Boss Bottled Oud Saffron, it's a woody, spicy, ambery scent with rose forward to accompany it.

Blind bought it, zero regrets. This is a fresh rasberry rose jam...I normally hate fruity scents but this is well done...it's sweet without crossing the line into cloying territory...it's deep, rich, and sexy. I can see wearing this on a night out. Beast mode projection and sillage. Might need a backup bottle. Love.

@SweetLadyForOne You are quite correct. According to the Lattafa catalogue I have the perfume pyramid of Ramz Lattafa Gold is as follows: Top Notes: Sweet Orange, Blackcurrant, Apple, Pear, Peach. Heart Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Orange Flower, Rose. Base Notes: Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla, White Musk.

Absolutely HATE this bottle but i reckon the juice is something special even after 100s of cheapies. Fight all you want but ive sampled Alexandria 2 after knowing this and its definitely there, id say 75%, if you layer it with a real dehn al oud attar, you get Alexandria.

Sweet, fruity, creamy, woody, floral balanced scent. I got the silver Ramz first and skipped this thinking it'll be too feminine, until I smelled it in an Arab shop. Perfectly unisex, at least to my middle eastern nose. Smells great with excellent performance.

The opening on this thing is like a sharp disgusting smell which I don’t like. Afterwards though, you can smell the fruits, with some woodyness. The dry down is where it’s at for me. Personally not blind buy safe but for the price it might as well be. 5.5/10

for under 20$ this fragrance is honestly extremely good. to me it smells like frozen berries and powder and it smells great! I think the performance is middle of the road and it definitely leans a bit feminine but you can definitely pull this off as a man!

Absolutely smooth, fruity, woodsy vanilla fragrance leaning a bit feminine on my skin. GORGEOUS! It doesn't have a strong oud presence IMO so beginners to Middle Eastern fragrances may like this. I own about 12 Lattafa fragrances and this is a real treat🙂
