Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.

Seasons
Apple and bergamot open into cinnamon and woodsy notes, settling on musk and vanilla. Lattafa Hayaati Black reads fruity-spicy with a warm musky-woody base. Longevity votes split almost evenly between moderate and long lasting, with sillage mostly moderate and most voters favouring daytime wear.
The opening pairs apple with bergamot for a fruity-citrus lift with a touch of tartness from the apple. With only two notes named in each layer, the cinnamon and woodsy pairing in the heart carries more weight than it would in a more crowded composition, giving the spice a clearer, more direct presence rather than one blended into a larger accord. The heart brings cinnamon alongside woodsy notes, adding a warm spice over a developing wood structure. The base settles into musk and vanilla, giving a soft, slightly sweet finish. The scent shape is fruity-spicy at the top moving into a musky-woody base, a simpler four-note-family structure than many fragrances in the range, which keeps the profile focused rather than layered.
Apple and bergamot lead at first application, bright and slightly tart. Cinnamon comes through fairly early, warming the fruit with a spiced edge, while the woodsy notes begin building underneath. The cinnamon's warmth is noticeable without turning sharp or gourmand, sitting closer to a background spice than a dominant note, which lets the apple-bergamot brightness linger a little longer than it might otherwise before the musk and vanilla base takes full hold. In the drydown, musk and vanilla take over, softening the spice into a warm, slightly sweet finish. Because the note list is short, the progression is direct — fruity-spicy opening into a musky-vanilla close — rather than a composition with many distinct phases.
Longevity votes split almost evenly, with 44% calling it long lasting and 44% moderate, so performance is reliable without being decisively long-wearing. That near-even split suggests the fragrance performs consistently for most wearers rather than varying widely, and the moderate sillage figure makes it well suited to office or everyday settings where a lighter presence is preferable to a heavy trail. Sillage sits mostly in the moderate range at 64%, with 24% rating it strong — a fragrance that holds a clear presence at close range rather than filling a room from a distance.
Voters spread the seasonal preference fairly evenly across spring (33%), summer (32%) and autumn (24%), with winter well behind. That spread, combined with a fairly even day-night split (64%/36%), points to a versatile fragrance rather than one tied to a specific season or time.
Fragrantica's own listing reads unisex, and while the community vote leans towards men — 44% male-leaning and 38% male — that marketing position keeps this a unisex fragrance rather than one marketed strictly for one gender, even with the vote lean.
The fruity-spicy opening and woody-musk base share their shape with Invictus by Rabanne, another composition built around a fresh fruity top settling into a woody, musky base. The comparison sits in the general structure rather than an exact note match.
This suits anyone who wants a straightforward fruity-spicy fragrance with a warm musky-woody base rather than a complex, many-layered composition. It works across spring, summer and autumn, suits both day and evening wear given its even day-night vote split, and its moderate sillage makes it comfortable for everyday settings.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
Lattafa Perfumes started in Dubai in 1980, and the family who founded it still runs the company. Its name comes from the Arabic words for kindness and pleasantness. Lattafa perfumes range from sweet gourmands to bold ouds, at prices well below designer brands.
