I don’t know why there are no reviews for this, but it’s a work of art. Every Lattafa I buy I like more. It lasts forever, with brutal projection and longevity. A constant bomb of compliments. Quite feminine, though anyone can wear it. Juicy, sweet, and potent flowers, with fruits and a resinous touch that gives it a unique, stately air. It’s a total diva perfume, for night, seduction, and power. If you like Mugler’s Alien, it will drive you mad. It’s totally unique, complex, and sophisticated. I bought it on Notino at a fabulous price and will keep buying it. Long live Lattafa. It has become one of my favourites.
What a stunner! It’s delicious and addictive, now firmly on my must-haves list. The quality is astonishing and the intensity admirable; you walk in a seductive, eye-catching bubble. It’s not for the shy, it draws attention and you’ll receive compliments. The amount doesn’t matter; it’s very intense and ideal for standing out. Avoid closed spaces or heat; it shines more in the cold, perfect for Christmas. I’ve already bought a refill. It’s hard to describe: the evolution is incredible, you have to buy it blind. The opening is intense and juicy, with soft, creamy sweet and ripe fruits, followed by a strong explosion of pepper and cardamom that saturates the nose—I even sneezed a few times at first, but I love it. Then comes a shower of intense white flowers bathed in a sweet, non-alcoholic liqueur, intoxicating. Gradually, it gains a velvety character from heliotrope, adding woods, amber, and intense dried bean vanilla. It’s supremely oriental, exotic, and extravagant. Lattafa has risked with something less westernised, exquisite and elegant, distilling class. It has a masculine touch from the woods but is provocative on a woman’s skin, suggestive and addictive. It captivates you, possesses you, and you melt into its world of One Thousand and One Nights. It’s mysterious, different from any other oud, with special magic that empowers you. Ideal for cold nights when you need security or to smell wonderful. It lasts 18-20 hours; it’s a beast. I abuse it at night; I love waking up smelling it. It’s hooked me; it justified itself during our honeymoon. It doesn’t resemble Alien, only in potency; here, the oud and rose are the protagonists. The dry down is very woody. In the end, a dance of notes that enchants you. It brings back memories of my childhood: Sunday mornings at my grandparents’ house, smelling their room, their rosewood chest full of secrets, their perfumes and powders. Opulent Red smells like that room and those cherished moments with my grandmother. It’s a beauty and a rarity that may not suit everyone, but its quality is unquestionable. For the price, I recommend buying it blind.
I agree with the previous reviews: it’s incredible. The opening is very fruity, like a spiced, ripe fruit salad with blood orange; for me, it’s a synthetic yoghurt fruit salad that clashes at first but then stops being annoying. Gradually, that fruit salad recedes to give way to ambered white flowers that, with neroli, create sweet, resinous jasmine and neroli. It’s a bit like Alien on dry down, but it’s not a dupe. I like it more than Alien because on my skin, Alien’s woods are acidic and strange. I’ve heard others say it smells like rancid perfume, but I suppose it’s due to pH. The projection is bestial; I notice it after 12 hours with just one spray, and the longevity too; at 14 hours it seems freshly applied. I already have a refill. I’d say it’s feminine, though it could be unisex; every skin is a different world. Try it, perhaps on a man the resinous and woody side comes out better.
Agree with the previous two: it’s an incredible perfume! At first, it smells like overripe, spiced yoghurt Macedonia, with that blood orange at full blast, synthetic and a bit shocking on the first spray, but then it settles down. Gradually, the fruit gives way to ambered white flowers and a jasmine with sweet, resinous neroli that adds creaminess. It can remind you of Alien when it’s completely dry, but it’s not a dupe; I prefer it because on my skin Alien smells to me of sour, masculine wood, which is rare. I’ve heard that some people smell it as old perfume, I suppose it depends on skin pH, just like with Womanity, which some say smells of fish. The projection is beastly: one single spray lasts more than 12 hours and keeps appearing when you least expect it, as if it’s been on for hours longer. The longevity is equally crazy; at 14 hours it still smells freshly applied. I already have a refill before anyone touches it. If I feel it’s feminine, it could be unisex, but it suits me more on the feminine side; if a man picks up more of the resinous and woody notes, it could suit him well. Every skin is a different world.
Karina from Dearmakeupdiary said it smelled like a gas station, but the reality is it smells worse. The opening makes you cough, smelling of a toxic waste bin or kerosene. Very unpleasant. I’ve washed my arm three times and it still smells. I don’t know which note causes that, but it’s not for me.
Karina’s review on Dearmakeupdiary said it was gas-station-like, but the reality is it smells even worse. The opening makes you cough immediately, it smells like a bin of toxic waste or even kerosene. Very unpleasant. I’ve washed my arm three times and it still smells. I don’t know which note causes that smell, but what’s more, it’s not for me.
I’m sorry, I can’t handle it. I bought it blindly and it was my big mistake. I gave it a break, but it got to me; it doesn’t smell good. My son says it smells like playdough, I smell petrol, I thought it might be leather, but since there’s no leather or suede in the notes, I don’t know what that bad smell could be. I don’t recommend it.
Polarising at first sniff, but within minutes it transforms into a pure niche fragrance, a direct rival to Montale. Ostentatious, sweet, spiced and floral, it’s for those who love oud. I’ve tested those petrol station notes in €200 perfumes and this one wins on price. If Mancera or Xerjoff had released it, it would have been a resounding success. A 10 for Lattafa. On dry down, it reminds me of Hugo Boss Oud Saffron. Warning: buying blind here is risky as it’s not a simple scent.
I’m sorry, I just can’t handle it. I bought it blind and it was my big mistake. I gave it a reprieve but it won out. It doesn’t smell good; my son says it smells like playdough, while I smell petrol. As there is no leather or suede in the notes, I don’t know what that terrible smell is. I don’t recommend it.
Although I hadn’t bought Arabic houses for a while, lately I’ve bought some due to the hype. This one in particular is the most controversial and doesn’t surprise me. After reading reviews, I wondered if my perfume was faulty, reformulated, or if something had happened to my sense of smell. Opinions on Opulent Red range from quintessence to having no quality at all. I lean towards the negative. The opening is very synthetic and petrol-like, with that sweet blood orange that smells like a gas station or petrochemical industry, very evident. That strange, unpleasant afternote persists throughout the development; at times it seems like leather. Upon drying, spices appear over an intense woody base and a light white floral, but nothing like Rouge Malachite or Alien; the floral isn’t predominant as in the others. It has something in common with Rosendo Mateu 5 due to that synthetic touch, but they are far apart in quality. It has a notable trail and lasts 10 hours on skin. In the end, although it wasn’t a resounding no at first, the use became unbearable and it left my collection. Scent 3.5/10, Longevity 10/10, Trail 8/10, Value for money 4/10, Versatility 5/10, Packaging 6/10. Would I buy it again? Never.
Polarising at first, with a chaotic opening that turns into a pure niche scent in minutes, rivaling Montale. Ostentatious, sweet, spiced, and floral, it’s for oud lovers. I’ve tested those ‘gasoline’ openings in 200€ perfumes, and this one wins on price. If Mancera or Xerjoff released it, it would be a resounding success. A 10 for Lattafa. When dry, it reminds me of Hugo Boss’s Oud Saffron. Note: buying it blind is risky because it’s not a simple scent.
Although the hype surrounding Arab houses is enormous, this is the most controversial. Reading the reviews, one wonders if the perfume is faulty or my sense of smell is failing. Sincerely, I lean towards the negative. The opening is synthetic and petrol-like, with blood orange notes that smell of a gas station or petrochemical plant, a rare and unpleasant odour that lasts throughout the development. At times it smells of leather, but on dry down it’s spices over intense wood and a subtle white floral that doesn’t dominate as in Rouge Malachite or Alien. It shares that synthetic touch with Rosendo Mateu 5, but the quality is far inferior. Notable trail and lasts 10 hours, but it became unbearable and I threw it away. Scent 3.5/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 8/10, Value for money 4/10, Versatility 5/10, Packaging 6/10. I would never buy it again.
I bought it blind, sprayed it, and sold it. I couldn’t handle it.
A perfume that leaves me confused; I sprayed it on my wife and it smells fruity and floral, but on my son it smells fruity and woody. That said, I liked its aroma, it’s not something to buy blind as if you’re not used to challenging perfumes it can turn you off. I find it leans more towards feminine and winter; in summer it must be a nightmare with this perfume.
Smells like turpentine with flowers.
The opening is somewhat strange for more developed noses, but it passes quickly and then leaves a strong yet exquisite scent. It definitely floods the room. It’s understandable that not everyone will like it. That said, it has nothing to do with Alien. It doesn’t resemble anything; it’s unique and phenomenal. For me, 9.5 out of 10.
I swear I don’t know if it’s my nose or the pH, but this perfume fascinates me. It has so many notes I can’t explain why I like it so much; it’s mysterious and has its own personality. It feels sweet, juicy, and talc-like, sensual and cosy without being invasive. I don’t perceive that gasoline, burnt, or plastic note. I wish more people found it delicious. My partner loves it too; it’s one of the few that always compliments me.
I swear I don’t know if it’s that my nose doesn’t perceive any dissonant note or if it’s a pH issue, but this perfume fascinates me. It has so many notes that I also don’t know how to explain how it smells on me or why I like it so much… it’s something mysterious with its own personality. It comes across as sweet and juicy, yet powdery. Sensual and cosy but not extremely invasive, and certainly, I don’t perceive that touch of gasoline, burnt, or plastic. I’d love more people to perceive it as delicious. My partner loves it too. It’s one of the few perfumes that always compliments me.
The opening is somewhat strange for more ‘developed’ scents, so to speak. But it passes quickly, leaving a strong yet exquisite aroma afterwards. It definitely floods the room. But it’s understandable that not everyone will like it. That said, nothing to do with Alien. It doesn’t resemble anything; it’s unique and phenomenal. For me, 9.5 out of 10.
The perfume is unbearable and the bottle is dreadful.
Absolute beast. It has development, is long-lasting, and leaves an excellent trail. I tried it on a man today, and on my skin it smells sweet with touches of oud. I can clearly distinguish the apricot note, which I love. Although some may say it’s feminine, I see it as quite unisex. Regarding the criticism that it smells like petrol, one must educate the nose or perhaps take better care of skin pH. If you find it lasting 11-16 hours, smelling different, with niche-like reminiscences and you like it, don’t doubt it. It’s worth having in your collection.
Seriously, does anyone compare this perfume to Rouge Malachite and Alien without having tried it? I know it’s impossible for it to be similar because it contains oud, and as I’ve read, it has that petrol note, nothing like the others, even though this Lattafa one has white flowers. I hope to try it soon to give an opinion, but really they should review those ‘similarities’ because many people follow this website without knowing anything.
Brilliant perfume, with spectacular longevity and sillage. The packaging and bottle are very simple. But wowwwwwwwwwwww. I bought it blind, and mainly because of the price quoted, it doesn’t matter if I like it or not because I got it for free, like 25 RE GA LA DO, and I was given a massive surprise 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Alien in one hand and Opulent Red in the other: honestly, I see not a shred of similarity. To me, nothing. The opening is petrol-like, yes, with a sweet oud and a very soft, subtle floral note. It’s very unisex and warm. Oud isn’t for everyone. On my skin it smells sweeter than on my partner, who is a man, where the wood stands out and the flower is barely noticeable. I think it’s a top purchase; the performance is brutal (perhaps too much if you don’t get hooked), and for under £16 on Amazon I get 100ml of a value-for-money that many designer perfumes in that range would envy. I’ll probably grab Opulent Oud when it goes on offer, though I have no plans right now. That said, the bottle is ugly and greedy.
Brilliant perfume. It has development, is long-lasting, and leaves a very good trail. I tried it on a man today and on my skin it smells sweet with notes of oud. I can distinguish the peach and vanilla note. I love it. Although some say it leans towards feminine, I see it as quite unisex. Regarding the bad reviews that it smells like petrol, well, one must educate the olfactory senses a bit or perhaps take better care of skin pH. If you find it for £11-£16, it lasts for hours, you get to smell different, with niche-like reminiscences, don’t hesitate. It’s worth having in your collection.
Honestly, this scent bears no resemblance to Prive Rouge Malachite, let alone Alien. From my experience, this is a resinous aroma with that much-talked-about petrol note. I don’t detect the flowers or fruity notes; I only sense wood, amber, and very unpleasant resinas to my nose. A deeply disappointing fragrance, as I expected an opulent scent given the notes. Definitely synthetic from start to finish, trying to hint at sweetness but overwhelmed by the woody resinous aroma. I had high hopes, but it was a complete letdown.
The truth is this scent doesn’t remind me at all of Prive Rouge Malachite or Alien. From my experience, it’s a resinous scent with that much-talked-about petrol touch; I don’t feel the flowers or fruity notes, just wood, amber, and very unpleasant resins to my nose. It’s a very disappointing fragrance, as I thought that with its notes it would be an opulent scent. Definitely it’s synthetic from start to finish, petrol-like, trying to highlight some sweetness but the woody resinous scent wins. I had faith in it, but it has been a complete disappointment.
Total dislike; it didn’t meet my expectations. After spraying and waiting for the fragrance to evolve, I only smelled petrol, a faint jasmine, and cashmere; I couldn’t identify anything else. The comparison with Alien seems totally ridiculous; there’s no point of comparison. That is a perfume I love, and I genuinely feel no similarity between the two. Opulent Red is a very cheap fragrance and that’s what it smells like. Not necessarily is cheap equal to poor quality—I’ve bought Arab perfumes at the same price that were fantastic! I had high hopes, but I was let down completely. It didn’t even work as a room freshener.
The opening is awful, no one can take away its power and the longevity is the same, but it improves after a while. For me, that opening is so unpleasant that it doesn’t compensate for the rest. The listed notes give another impression, but ugh, it turns out to be unfathomable. I love powerful perfumes, but in this case, crossing the line to have to endure that stench of petrol is a resounding no for me, and of course, it doesn’t resemble my beloved Alien. Putting this on is a bad time until it improves, but it doesn’t go away; the opening leaves a reminiscence all the time.
I hate the opening. The potency is undeniable and the longevity is the same, but it improves later. For me, that initial blast is so unpleasant it outweighs everything else. The listed notes suggest something different, but ugh, it turns out to be unforgivable. I love powerful perfumes, but in this case, crossing the line into smelling like petrol is too much for me. A definite no, and it certainly doesn’t resemble my beloved Alien. Wearing this is a miserable experience until it fades, but the opening lingers with a reminder all the time…
Far too potent for me. Five minutes after smelling it, I got nauseous and then a migraine. It has a synthetic scent; I couldn’t describe it properly. Please test before buying. A resounding NO.
Spectacular 😍
At first, I didn’t notice anything extraordinary in the opening, but the scent develops into something warm, woody, sweet and spiced. I prefer it for evening wear as it’s strong and elegant. If I were to compare it to a room’s decor, I’d imagine a wooden floor, black leather armchairs and red velvet curtains – very gothic, mysterious and elegant… Definitely not for everyone’s taste; I recommend not buying it blindly.
Well, after reading so much and seeing so many posts on the same topics, I just want to say I won’t compare it to anything; comparisons are quite odious and unreliable, unless it’s from MONSIEUR JEAN PAUL GUERLAIN, in which case yes. In my opinion, it’s a very particular fragrance, both in its opening and throughout its evolution. Frankly, for the price, I dare to say it’s much better than some costing over €100. I respect all opinions and learn from them, especially those that criticise it the most – I love it.
I bought it because of its polarising reviews, and here’s mine: I’d sum it up as white flowers bathed in cognac and vanilla, with sandalwood and the powdery touch of heliotrope taking the lead as it dries (though the white florals and liquorish accord always remain). A very dense, nocturnal scent, perfect for cold weather (day or night); while it doesn’t resemble Alien much, it certainly belongs to the family of woody white florals. Excellent longevity and projection – a wonderful surprise. PS: Another perfume it reminds me of is Interdit Absolu; I feel they’re heading down the same path.
Sometimes I read everything… (I can’t help it, otherwise I wouldn’t be me) about petrochemical notes, smell of petrol, very synthetic and invasive, unbreathable… and on top of that, they compare it to Alien by Mugler. (Thank goodness they didn’t do it with the real Alien; the one by Thierry). Creatures: what do you expect from a very modest and poor fragrance from the utterly dreadful Lataffa (which I also own) that costs just €13. I repeat the price?? I paid that amount for this, and what it offers, given the price, seems to me to be a perfume, at least a modest one. Clearly it is synthetic. From every angle. A blast of alcohol from the bottle and a couple of floral chords from first-year high school and that’s it. I don’t understand the disdain for this ‘little thing’ which, besides, smells very nice. Tuberosa gets a 2.5 out of 5 in terms of originality.
It seems fascinating to me, and there are countless ‘experts’ claiming it has many dupes, yet the dry-down has nothing to do with what they compare it to. I simply wish to see one day a comment from the God of perfumery, the Lord Don J.P. Guerlain. Then I would get down on my knees and kiss the ground like the Pope…
