Petra opens with boozy rum and ripe plum, moves into a creamy tuberose-and-coconut heart, then settles into vanilla, musk and praline for a warm, nutty gourmand finish. Fragrantica's community voting (662 votes) puts longevity as moderate for 42% of wearers, with a further 39% calling it long-lasting.
Petra is a 2025 Floral Fruity Gourmand from Lattafa. Fragrantica's accord breakdown reads sweet at 100% strength, with tuberose (72%) and vanilla (61%) close behind. It opens on rum and plum — a boozy, fruit-forward start rather than anything sharp or citrus-led. The heart brings tuberose and coconut, a creamy white floral (58% strength) softened by coconut's fatty sweetness (61%). The base settles into vanilla, musk and praline, with the fruity accord (55%) and a light rum warmth (53%) carrying through to the finish. The overall effect reads sweet and gourmand throughout, never turning green or fresh.
The opening leans on rum and plum, giving a warm, slightly boozy fruitiness rather than a bright top note. Tuberose and coconut take over through the heart, adding a creamy, floral-sweet character. The dry-down is where the composition settles for good: vanilla, musk and praline, a nutty, gourmand base that stays close to the skin. Fragrantica voters lean slightly toward daytime wear — 55.97% log it as a day scent against 44.03% for evening, of 954 daypart votes.
Of 662 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (42.15%) rate Petra's staying power as moderate, with a further 39.27% calling it long-lasting and 11.48% finding it eternal. Sillage tracks similarly: of 659 votes, 48.41% describe its projection as moderate and 38.39% as strong, with 7.28% calling it enormous and only 5.92% finding it intimate. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes favour the transitional months — spring (28.46%) and autumn (28.09%) lead, with summer close behind at 23.6% and winter at 19.85%. It reads as a scent that works across most of the year rather than one tied to a single season.
Lattafa markets Petra as a fragrance for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting leans female — 45.93% female and a further 30.34% female-leaning of 725 votes — but the brand's own framing, and the sweet gourmand profile itself, keep it open to any wearer.
Fragrantica's community voting links Petra most closely to Quattro Pizzi by Casamorati 1888, suggesting the two share a similar sweet, gourmand-floral accord profile. Shoppers who like Petra also often like Khair Confection by Paris Corner, another sweet gourmand FG Perfumes carries in South Africa.

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.
