Nasmaat
A bouquet with ripe fruit poured over it is roughly what Lattafa Nasmaat Eau de Parfum 100ml sets out to be, and twelve materials are used to get there.
The top is tart and bright at once. Blackcurrant brings that green, almost metallic sharpness the fruit always has, apricot softens it with a fuzzy, sun warmed sweetness, and pineapple adds the juice. It is a loud opening, and it tells you immediately that this is not a quiet office fragrance.
Five flowers follow, which is a lot. Magnolia is the clean, citrus edged one, jasmine the heady one, cyclamen the thin green note that keeps the middle from going syrupy, orange blossom the soapy, slightly bitter white flower, and rose sits across all of them adding depth. Crowded hearts like this can turn into mush, and what saves this one is that the fruit above is still going when the flowers arrive, so the two tiers overlap rather than hand over cleanly.
The base is sweet and soft. Vanilla and caramel do the obvious work, caramel in its darker, slightly burnt form rather than as a soft chew, while cashmeran adds a velvety dryness and sandalwood a quiet grain beneath everything. It takes the composition from fruit salad to dessert, and that is where it stays for the rest of the day.
Expect strong performance. This is an eau de parfum built for projection, best in cold weather and in the evening, and aimed squarely at women who want to be noticed. Lattafa Perfumes is an Emirati maker based in Sharjah that produces its own scent rather than licensing a designer's name, which is how a twelve material composition lands at the price this one does. Its founder trained in Dubai, in a shop belonging to an uncle, before setting up alone.
