Ta'weel

Edit 2: For those who want a Ganymede clone, check out the new Lattafa Pride Masa. It's a twist on the DNA, with an added mango note. That stuff is nuclear. Ta'weel sometimes appear metallic to me, but it's no Ganymede! Edit 1 (Review): This fragrance is so good. Why isn't this hyped??? I can't even praise this enough. It opens with a beautiful, vibrant BERGAMOT and grapefruit accord(more emphasis on bergamot), spiced and pierced by ginger, tempered with luscious green, herbal nuaces. My God! That first few seconds of juicy citruses...!! It develops further into a more sophisticated territory at the dry down. I also get leather that reminds me of Memo Irish leather and an amber accord. I really don't know what Lattafa was trying to go for here, but I freaking love it. This is a solid 9.0/10, and I don't even like freshies like that (well, this isn't a full freshie per say). Longevity is good. Solid 8hrs+ with a good sillage... First impression (Initial review): Opens up with a juicy, sour grapefruit and citrus accord and ginger. Then it settles to a herbal and green accord; then after it dries down to an ambery, slightly leathery kind of smell. I got 7hrs+ on longevity with a considerable moderate sillage. I think this fragrance is trying to clone LV L'immensite or maybe it's a twist of Tygar, cos Al Qiam Silver already clones Tygar. Well, they're all in the same family. But I really love the further intricacy of this one. It appear more interesting and sexy. To the reviewer under me, Andy; I recommend and advice that you try fragrances out before you mislead people. Don't just copy information out there just to make a "review". Reviews should be your own opinion out of experience. This isn't a Ganymede clone. Thanks.

This is a reinterpretation of a typical classy fougère fragrance of the 80s. My bottle dates 8/22 and I have had it for one year, without much use. Picked it up today, and it got a lot better than i remember it used to be earlier this year. The opening is less harsh and lost the metallic vibe i remember it had. Very earthy, green, and lightly (sweet-ish) citrusy. It settles into a sweeter vetiver and lavender accord, that's quite elegant. A truly good blend from the house of Lattafa, where all ingredients appear to have been dosed with the greatest accuracy. Unbelievably priced in the low 20s. The bottle is finely designed and boasts a metal cap. If you are in the fougère/vetiver/earthy sort of notes this is for you and it'll complement both formal and informal venues. The ambroxan boosts both longevity and projection which are both above the average, especially for such a bargain. Office safe if you watch your trigger.

Seriously this one if a banger, can't describe the feeling I felt when I smelled it but I knew that this one was worth a try, and my nose have smelled many fragrances so far. I bought it like 5 days ago and it's already 20% gone, would definitely buy again and keep buying it, it's a very solid identity scent. Good for summer, spring and even autumn purposes, very citrus with the bergamot and the ginger note just compliments it very smoothly. There is a passion fruit note that I detect as well but it's overpowered a little bit by the bergamot scent(I prefer it). The leather scent is very mild and probably sets up when the fragrance reaches its base notes. Price: 10/10 Sillage: 7.5/10 Smell: 9/10 Performance/ longevity: 6.5/10 Compliment factor: 9/10 Overall a solid 8.5/10 maybe even 9

Classy and gentlemanly fragrance. Calming and serene, very nice for the price. Opens with ginger, more fresh than soapy thanks to juniper & bergamot, then you get green tea & vetiver with a little patchouli and just a hint of suede. Ginger remains strong and central. Smooth, green drydown is grassy and slightly woody. Nicely blended - I agree that aside from the ginger no particular element stands out. More of a daytime fragrance for me, and while it lends itself to warmer weather, it works for Fall & Winter days too. After a few months, longevity is 5-6 hours (from double sprays) with 2 hours of fairly strong ambroxan projection. Leaves a very pleasant scent trail.

Interestingly simple fragrance that performs very well. I'm not getting the strong citrus from the bergamot, mostly a nice and calming tea with hints of citrus, leather and lavender - a clean gentleman scent, not overwhelming. Good one for when you don't want to scream too much for attention but still want to smell nice when up close. This scent is a winner with the young crowd in my house. Nice bottle design and presentation, it looks premium. Worth the blind buy if not expensive. The three guys bellow me had got the same batch probably, I can relate to them - maybe it's because our bottles have been macerating for months in a store storage.
