Lattafa Hayaati

This was part of My first lattafa order (along with Khamra Qahwa). I put this on after a late-morning shower while spending the day around the house. I already knew this fragrance wasn’t really my style, but since I had it, I wanted to give it another try.

The opening is very fruity. It smells good, but it’s a little too fruity for my taste. As it settles, I pick up some powderiness and a slight spiciness. I don’t notice much citrus. In the drydown, I get vanilla and a fresh-linen smell. This is the kind of scent I think of when someone describes a fragrance as “fresh.”

Projection is very good, although I feel like I need to spray a little more with this one than with my other Lattafa fragrances. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I got about six hours out of it before adding two more sprays later in the afternoon. I also sprayed my shirt, and the scent is still going strong on the fabric.

Overall, this is a good-smelling fragrance; it’s just not my style. As I build my collection, I’m going to keep it because I could use another spring and summer option. I tried giving it to my son, but he thought it was a little too fruity—even though he usually enjoys fruity colognes.

It’s supposed to be a clone or dupe of Paco Rabanne Invictus, but I haven’t smelled the original, so I can’t comment on the similarity. If you enjoy fruity, powdery scents with some vanilla and a fresh-linen drydown, I would recommend giving this one a try.
