LattafaAnsaam Gold Eau de Parfum Spray for Unisex, 3.4 Ounce

Update:I’ve figured it out! This is a close replica of the 1980’s version/release of Christian Dior’s Poison. I loved Poison back then! Delish!!! This has been bugging me so I kept thinking about it and wearing it and Bam!! 💥. It finally came to me! The new version of Poison doesn’t smell anywhere near as good as the 80’s version did. This is my story and I’m sticking to it! 💕. I’m hitting the buy button to order a few more bottles because I LOVE 80’s Christian Dior POISON!!!!I’m a diehard blind buying perfume junky. ☺️. When I die, they’re going to need a dedicated U-Haul just for my perfume collection. I’m a gourmand gal for sure but like some florals and spicy fragrances too. Right now I’m buying a lot of Lataffa perfumes. No idea why...? 😳 I did a blind buy on Yara and fell head over heels in love with it and the rest is history. So about this particular fragrance from Lataffa. It’s deliciously beautiful! It’s a bit alcoholy at first spray but that calms down and starts to change to a light, kind of airy, sweet, a smidgen of powder, floral raspberry if that makes any sense. It’s not juvenile like BBW. It’s not overpowering either. It definitely reminds me of Hugo by Hugo Boss. This scent can be worn during the day or night and truthfully year round. Not all perfumes can pull that off. Hugo loses its smell after about an hour or two on the skin. This lasts about 4 on me. The bottle is a good size, heavy and looks great sitting in my collection. I can definitely see me grabbing this often instead of the others. It’s just a great, lightweight, pretty scent that you can wear easily. It’s a good buy so treat yourself to a bottle. 🩷

So let me preface this by saying that I have GONE THROUGH IT when it comes to blind buying perfumes online, definitely some GOOD hits but LOTS of misses lol! I rely on the reviews from Amazon buyers and watch lots of videos on Tik Tok and Youtube to get an idea of what the perfume might smell like and let me just say, anyone who said this perfume smelled good ... was definitely right!Now I get certain notes might not be for everyone, I consider myself a "gourmand girlie" I like for my scents to smell sweet and edible and like vanilla but this perfume intrigues me in a weird (but good!) way.Let's start off with the packaging .. absolutely solid and so beautifully made! 10/10Now lets get into the scent: When I spray it I definitely get sweet but not overpowering and floral but not ROSEY. One of the top notes is stated as being Mandarin and I definitely smell that but I wouldn't go so far as to say its overly citrusy because the vanilla and musk prevent it from being so. If I can describe it in words I'd call it an Orange Creamsicle, its soft and creamy. It's so not what I'm used to but I absolutely adore it, I love pairing it with EOS 24 Hr Moisture Body Lotion in Vanilla Cashmere. It's such a fun, girly, feminine perfume. In terms of longevity, I think it holds up well for what it is. When sprayed on clothes I definitely smell it up until the next day.Compliments: I've gotten several compliments while wearing this perfume but twice while I was at the gym SWEATING! I was in the locker room and a woman stopped me dead in my tracks to ask me what I had on, she said it smelled a lot like Lychee to her and I thought that was so interesting! Another time a member at the gym came up to me and said "You smell like a superstar, you smell like Barbie!" and listen, I don't know what that means but i'll take it LOL!This review is entirely too long but I'll say that a lot of the reviews have mentioned that this perfume smells like Love Don't Be Shy by Killian and Oriana and I'd say it has a similar DNA, I did a lot of research on affordable dupes and stumbled upon Lattafa's Ansaam Gold but prior to choosing this one I ordered Dossier's Floral Marshmallow because it was stated as also being a dupe but immediately ended up returning it because I could not get with the smell at all! If you're like me stuck between two choices, I promise Ansaam Gold is the right choice :)

BEAUTIFUL, I have worn it almost daily for a month. it's such a pleasing scent I can't imagine anyone thinking that it smells bad. the bottle is also pretty. You will have to let it sit for a few weeks, when I first smelled it it smelt like a cleaning solution, luckily I knew I had to let my lattafas macerateit starts out sweet and fruity, it has a candy like smell yet it smells clean. if you've tries Oriana it's pretty close.more feminine and this would work all year around for me

Okay, I read the reviews and heard the hype and pulled the trigger for a Christmas gift. I sprayed it and was about to trash it. I sprayed it on myself and about a minute later I was thinking "okay, this is good enough for my girlfriend's daughter". About 5 minutes later, I thought "nope this one is definitely girlfriend status. So.... back to the drawing board for the girlfriend's daughter.10 scalePowdery 9 at first then calms to a 4 after the dry down.Sweet 2 at first then went to a 6 after the dry down.Projection at first is a gross 8.5 afterthe dry down about a 7 and way better.Sillage is about a 7.Longevity about 6 hours.Playfully sweet and sexy anytime scent, leaning more towards colder weather.Atomizer is "meh", presentation is pretty good, I have paid a lot more and got a lot less for sure. Bottle and cap are well made and both have decent heft to them.Get past the initial spray, be patient and overall it's a 7.5 out 10 in my opinion after the dry down. It is classy and leans more to the 30+ crowd.

I really wanted to love Lattafa Pride Gold based on the hype, but it was a big letdown. The opening hit me with a strong alcohol smell that took over everything. Once that faded, I was left with a scent that reminded me of synthetic fruit mixed with powder — like the scent of cheap baby wipes.It’s sweet, but not in a nice way. More cloying and artificial than luxurious. The scent lingers for hours, which would be great if I actually liked it — but unfortunately, I couldn’t wait to wash it off.If you’re sensitive to synthetic or overly powdery scents, this might not be for you. I’d recommend trying something lighter and better blended.
