Athena

I have tested it in a perfume store, This fragrance in the dry down is an exact dupe of "Goddess Burberry" perfume, creamy vanilla scent, comparing it with "Angham Lattafa" it's more cozy creamy fragrance, but "Angham Lattafa" seems a light version or smoother version from "Goddess Burberry" perfume, hence, I think beacause vanilla dominates here like "Goddess Burberry" perfume exactly, but in "Angham Lattafa" Praline and Cacao dominates with vanilla in the dry down which is make it more sugary not creamy vanilla scent. Althought the other ingrediants here different than "Goddess Burberry", but the dry down is same. white flowers here make the scent is very cozy. For my own taste, I advise any one searching on alternative or a dupe scent of "Goddess Burberry", to choose this perfume, I prefer it more than "Angham Lattafa". Synthetic fragrance here is unnoticeable, In General, I advise anyone going to buy any of "Maison Alhambra" perfumes to macerate it from 2 - 3 mothes then start to use it, beacause the maceration make the pefrume ingrediants to be harmonizes together. If you didn't smell this perfume before, I advise that you can blind buy if you interest the gourmand fragrances. sweety notes here not a cause for headache for you. Also Vanilla here is very suitable for women who are looking for a delicious creamy vanilla fragrance tends to be more balanced dry down rather being intense. This fragrance suitable to wear it at night or during the day in all seasons, It lasts more than 6 hours on the leather and one day on the clothes. جرّبتُ هذا العطر في متجر للعطور، ووجدتُ أن رائحته في القاعدة تشبه بشكل مطابق عطر "غوديس من بيربري"، إنه عطر كريمي ذو رائحة فانيليا مميزة، بالمقارنة مع عطر "أنغام من لطافة"، نجد أن هذا العطر أكثر دفئًا وكريمية، بينما يبدو عطر "أنغام من لطافة" نسخة خفيفة أو أكثر نعومة من عطر "غوديس من بيربري". حيث أنه باعتقادي الفانيليا هنا هي العنصر السائد أو المهيمن على الرائحة في هذا العطر كما هو الحال في عطر "غوديس من بيربري"، بينما في عطر "أنغام من لطافة" يسود مزيج من البرالين والكاكاو مع الفانيليا، مما يمنحه رائحة حلوة أكثر من كونها رائحة فانيليا كريمية. رغم اختلاف مكونات هذا العطر عن مكونات "غوديس من بيربري"، إلا أن رائحته النهائية في القاعدة متطابقة، رائحة الزهور البيضاء تضفي على العطر جاذبية خاصة. بناءً على تجربتي، أوصي كل من يبحث عن بديل أو نسخة مماثلة لعطر "غوديس من بيربري" باختيار هذا العطر، فهو أفضل من عطر "أنغام من لطافة" في رأيي الخاص. الرائحة الاصطناعية هنا إذا كانت موجودة فهي غير ملحوظة على الإطلاق، بشكل عام، أنصح أي شخص ينوي شراء أي من عطور مايسون الهمبرا أن يعتقه لمدة 2 - 3 أشهر ثم يبدأ في استخدامه، لأن التعتيق يجعل مكونات العطر متناغمة معًا. إذا لم تشمِ هذا العطر من قبل، أنصحك بإمكانك شرائه شراءً أعمى، إذا كنتِ تستمتعين بالروائح الشهية. النوتات الحلوة هنا ليست سببًا للصداع بالنسبة لك، كما أن الفانيليا هنا مناسبة جدًا للسيدات اللواتي يبحثن عن عطر فانيليا لذيذ كريمي شهي يميل إلى أن يكون أكثر توازناً بعد أن يبرد العطر أكثر من كونها فانيليا كثيفة. هذا العطر مناسب لارتدائه في الليل أو أثناء النهار في كل الفصول، يدوم 6 ساعات على الجلد ويوم واحد على الملابس.

It's been over a year and, yes, I have decided that this is one of my absolute favorites.I'm glad I bought a backup & that it has been macerating for many months now. This is so juicy smelling that I can't help but love it. I think it may be my new signature (I am fickly tho!). Anytime I wear this anywhere, I get complimented. I have learned that it is fine solo but that it layers really well with Nagham (the oil) from Khadlaj. Another update, ppl (last one. promise) this is a perfume that never stops getting better. Not only has it gotten more rich in scent, but it is gaining longevity. If it's like that at 23 days... I'm thinking of getting a backup bottle let rest for months while I use this one. I layered this one once with Creamy Biscuit and oh, my WORD! Divone. Updating much sooner than I thought. This is now absolutely glorious. The citrus and florals showed up and, wow. That changed everything. It's still soft, but in a good way. There is a quiet sugary note in the dry down. Normally I despise patchouli but I'm almost sure that it's what is pulling this fragrance together so beautifully. This is now one of those scents that I find myself taking sniffs of my wrist just to enjoy it. Granted, it's been less than a week with this one so I will update when it's had time to learn its manners. For now, I find this to be the weakest of any Lattafa/M.A. scent I own (and I have a LOT). I wasnt impressed with anything about this at first spray, because the scent was so fleeting I didn't catch any notes. A couple of days later, I was at least able to get the gist of Athena: soft, citrus-powder, and wafts of florals. Thank goodness, I got no patchouli. I HATE that note & had I seen it listed, I would have skipped this one. Thankfully, I can tell already that this is going to be like every Lataffa (okay, okay, *Maison Alhambra*) fragrance - it will get better and better with time. If this is better after just a couple of days, I can't wait to sniff again in another week or two. I cannot yet comment on longevity or sillage.

I am not one to jump on the bandwagon of perfumes that are being overtly hyped on social media, so I took my time before buying Athena. Well, well, well, I have nothing but high praises for this gorgeous, sophisticated gem. Firstly, the notes here on Fragrantica are completely wrong which can mislead people into thinking it doesn’t smell like what they anticipated if they blind buy it like I did. It is a perfect blend of light lavender, vanilla and some florals that I can’t name individually but I can tell are adding some depth to this beauty. It starts off bright, aromatic and sweet and quickly fills up the space around you with its aroma with a few spritz. On me, it has this enchanting and alluring aroma that makes me feel beautiful and well put together. At first I thought the sillage was only arm’s length because I can smell it on myself for hours. One day, I sprayed it on my sister who was visiting for Christmas and didn’t pack her stronger perfumes. I has a nasty cold and could barely smell anything but I could smell Athena on her strongly even when she left the room for a long while. I will definitely buy Athena again because it is an elegant, easy to wear perfume that transitions from daytime to nighttime effortlessly. The price is also superb and you will get lots of compliments if it works well with your body chemistry like it does for me. I bought Angham by Lattafa first and I definitely prefer Athena because it suits my personality a lot more. They have similarities but are different in so many ways, so if you have the two, enjoy them both by wearing them together. A 5/5 love for me 💛💛💛💛💛. Leans more feminine but a well groomed, confident man can surely pull this scent off superbly.

This is beautiful. I received a Burberry Goddess gift set and I liked it, I thought it was a nice lavender vanilla scent but I purchased this because of the hype and the fact that it’s sweeter than Burberry Goddess. No ragrets here!! This is stunning and the bottle is to die for. Athena smells really close to Goddess, side by side I can tell them apart because Goddess has a deeper and smoother opening that’s spicier because of the ginger whereas Athena has a rich sweet opening from the fruit with a slight hint of spice from the pepper note. They’re definitely both warm though, there’s no doubt that this is great for colder weather. I wouldn’t exclusively wear either in cold weather but their DNA might be appreciated more during the holidays. I find Athena to have better performance and longevity. Goddess’ opening is fleeting and turns very linear on my skin while Athena opens up and sticks around. Once the opening notes wear off from both, their dry down is so similar I can hardly tell which is which. I don’t see a reason to invest in Angham, having a full bottle and travel spray of Goddess along with this dupe. It’s enough for me with this DNA, but I like the Angham bottle and I’ve heard it’s more lavender driven which piques my curiosity. For now, I’ve been reaching for Athena when I want this type of fragrance. Not just because it’s cheaper but I genuinely prefer it, if it had ginger I’d get rid of Goddess 😅

At long last! The Budget Goddess we deserve is finally here! Burberry Goddess made the world collectively sniff the air and say, "Wait... this smells expensive!" And, of course, it is expensive. Even more expensive than Burberry's other very reasonably priced fragrances. Enter Athena, the fragrance equivalent of a perfect dupe that laughs in the face of designer markups. Athena doesn't just resemble Burberry Goddess, it outright impersonates it. If Burberry Goddess were a high-society heiress, Athena would be her long-lost twin, separated at birth. The creamy vanilla, the lush lavender, the subtle yet cosy tonka, it’s all here, just without the hefty price tag. And while we’re at it, let’s pour one out for Lattafa Angham, the fragrance that could have been a contender... if only it weren’t impossible to find in the EU without paying an arm and a leg. At this point, Angham is more myth than perfume - a tantalizing whisper on the wind, forever out of reach. Which is soooo weird with Lattafa also owning Maison Alhambra... Final verdict: Why pay for a goddess when you can get Athena at a mortal-friendly price?
