Ana Abiyedh
Six materials make up Lattafa Ana Abiyedh Eau de Parfum 60ml, and it is the plainest member of a range that has grown in several directions since. Orange and bergamot open it, the orange sweet and round, the bergamot bitter and bright, and the two together give a clean citrus start of the kind that flatters almost anybody. Within a quarter of an hour the fruit has softened into pear, which is cool, slightly grainy and much less sweet than it sounds, with vanilla already appearing alongside it to warm the whole thing up.
The finish is where something more specific is named. Dry amber is not the sticky, honeyed kind: it is the same resin handled so that it reads powdery and a little dusty, closer to old paper than to syrup, and musk sits with it to keep the scent close to the skin. That dryness is what stops a pear and vanilla fragrance from becoming a dessert.
It behaves as a short composition should. There is no third act and nothing arrives late to change your mind, so what you smell in the first twenty minutes is the fragrance. Six or seven hours is realistic from the eau de parfum concentration, worn close rather than broadcast.
It reads unisex, it is comfortable in hot weather and cold alike, and it is particularly good as an everyday scent for people who do not want to think about their perfume. A 60ml bottle suits something you will reach for daily, and the price makes it an easy first purchase from the house.
The company manufactures in Sharjah, in the Emirates. Its founder had crossed from Pakistan to Dubai and picked up the trade in a relative's shop long before he had a line of his own, and seven brands now descend from that line, covering attars as well as fragrances built in the French style.
