Sutoor

What a chameleon. Months ago when I first got my bottle it smelled like strong, boozy peaches, much like Bitter Peach or the Alhambra dupe Bright Peach. I put it aside to wait for cold because in heat and humidity it was a bit too much. Tried it again and now it smells like sandalwood and BANANAS and maybe a little peachy musk which is a 1000% improvement since a beautiful banana perfume has been my unicorn for years. Months ago this was a beast in projection; now it has settled to moderate projection, as in wearable around other people. The dry down smells like banana soap, which is perfect for me. I can see this working in any season, even summer. Sorry, but this is not even in the same hemisphere as Kenzo L'Elephant; that one is all about cardamom and delicious spice. This one is banana, peach, and sandalwood soap. So glad this morphed or macerated or oxidized or settled or whatever it did. I love it now. Soft fruity, almost like Juicy Fruit gum powder but with the peach musk, not animalic musk. Maybe it's the vanilla that gives it a soft powdery fruity dry down - not baby powder, more like powdered vanilla pods and fruit. So wearable now. I went to the Lataffa website (lataffa dot com) because there are comments below about these notes on Fragrantica being incorrect, but Sutoor did not appear in their listing. Is this discontinued? I wish Fragrantica would do more articles about the UAE perfume industry. They release some popular and affordable scents but are semi mysterious. I would like to know more about how they identify - cloners or creators?

Sutoor by Lattafa is an elegant & sophisticated peach fragrance with lovely warmth from boozy and gently spicy notes. It goes on smoothly and as it blends with your skin all of its beautiful notes begin to bloom and unfold layer by layer. This was my first Lattafa blind buy and an incredible experience I must say. The warmth of the peach (dry, not a candy scent) and softly measured cardamom opening is divine and so complimentary to each other. The brandy, Davana and Jasmine begins the loveliest transition phase in the fragrance giving fragrant warmth and a jasmine tea experience. The base notes: vanilla, benzoin, Tonka and labdanum add the softest subtly sweet / notes that round out and ground Sutoor into the most smooth and elegant peach fragrance I’ve ever experienced. Don’t try and compare it with other peach scents, Sutoor is on a level that far surpasses any I’ve ever tried. I would only blind buy this fragrance if you have a well developed “nose” that can differentiate the beauty of the notes and how they work together or are not prone to base judgement on a first try experience. It’s unisex but leans more feminine, long lasting 6-8 hours, and its elegant bottle is substantial and similar in design to a Roja Dove cap and flacon. Elegance from start to finish- Sutoor by Lattafa. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well, hello, my friend. Welcome to my collection. What an interesting and delightful fragrance. I'm surprised that so many reviewers put Sutoor in the fall/winter category. I find it to be the quintessential summer fragrance. If you are interested in fuller, warmer compositions. The davana in Sutoor really steals the show on my skin. This is unusual for me. Florals tend to fall apart on my severely dry skin. On my skin the davana gives a dried apricot and Medjool date vibe. It's anchored by the resins. The tonka bean sits beside the resins and the patchouli acts more like a spicy, zesty wood. As inexpensive as this little beauty is, I do not feel like it's a safe blind buy. It's not a linear, gourmond bomb like Khamrah. It evolves and keeps me smelling my arms all day long. But I don't think most will feel the same way. It's a complicated little thing. That davana though. If you enjoy a challenge and are willing to sit with a bit of tension, Sutoor is probably going to be interesting to you. It has a very warm profile and if you are more into fresh aquatic and citrus scents, you will hate this. That's okay. I'll just take that bottle off of your hands. I will be wearing this sweet, warm fragrance all summer. I'm truly shocked at how ridiculously low the price point is. I would pay more for it.

Sutoor is a deliciously soft, fun, pretty, peach fragrance. It smells exactly like peach iced tea, but if it had been simmered down a bit on a stovetop with some spices thrown in. It is an uplifting scent, so I feel a bit strange wearing it when my wardrobe is mostly black -- it makes me want to wear a flowy apricot dress. It smells like cocktails with friends on a sunny spring day. I wouldn't call it unisex -- I would not enjoy smelling this on a man. It is one of the few fragrances I own that I feel comfortable wearing to the gym. Not cloying or overpowering, it's just there and pleasant. It keeps its fruitiness forward when sprayed on clothes and the woodiness comes out on skin. It lasts all day on clothes, but I have still been topping it up around the 4-hour mark, just because I like my fragrance to be wafting up to my nose as I go about my day. I haven't experienced Tom Ford's Bitter Peach (I don't like to torture myself by testing fragrances out of my price range) so I can't comment on the similarity there. But it is a lovely fragrance in its own right. If you like the smell of peach iced tea, it's a safe blind buy, especially for the price!

As my daughter said upon smelling this on me for the first time "it smells like stuff you already have". She wasn't wrong. There's very little to make this fragrance stand out in the world of Angel's Share wannabes. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't smell bad by any means, it's just very unimaginative. The bottle is beautiful and hefty. I will give a month to macerate and try it again to see if any notes show up to impress. **UPDATE: I purchased this in July and as mentioned above, I wasn't all that impressed... After putting it away in closet for a few months (it's now October,) I'm back to say I absolutely love it! It's perfect for Fall/Winter. It's giving spiced peaches and rum with some woodiness in the dry down. It's sophisticated and warm and SEXY! Went from 3 stars to 5!
