Lattafa, are you going to leave me poor? Lies, I don’t think so with their prices. Since discovering Lattafa, I haven’t bought designer again. The quality-to-price-to-quantity ratio is impressive. It’s my seventh perfume and I like having several depending on the outfit I’m wearing (which is never the same). This is a pleasant surprise from a blind buy. It projects powerfully (I just received it, put a drop on my hand, and one can smell it). It has personality for those with character: an interesting mix of patchouli, flowers, tangerine, something dark (it says suede), and a sweet touch (only at the beginning). Everything is balanced. I’m guided by the packaging; it’s beautiful (seems inspired by Dior’s J’adore) in a simpler box (Lattafa puts luxury into the packaging or the bottle, sometimes both). I recommend it for those who want to walk around as human air fresheners like me. Scent: 10/10, Packaging: 10/10, Trail: don’t know yet, Longevity: 8/10. Towards the end the intensity drops but it’s still present. Trail: 6/10, not powerful, the scent doesn’t stay walking with you. It’s soft, for daily use, feminine, balanced, and not invasive, too pleasant. Today I received the best compliment: a friend hugged me and seemed to want to kiss me, haha. She agrees too. It doesn’t smell from miles away (like Awaan or Amethyst) but it’s 10/10 pleasant. 100% recommended.

This is my first review; I hope to be objective. Sondos is by Lattafa, an Emirati house with good perfumes at ridiculous prices; although the components are synthetic, this is noticeable only in the opening, after drying the notes are soft and blend in. Longevity isn’t this house’s strong suit; it fixes well for some and not for others, but it’s not a problem because with $25 for a large 100ml bottle, you can apply it five times a day without pain. In the opening, the tangerine shows well, very citrusy; upon drying, the peach and rose are more noticeable, I don’t smell much neroli, perhaps my nose can’t distinguish it, but the rose is strong in the dry-down. The patchouli lingers for a while until it fades after four hours in my case. It’s cheerful, floral, and fruity, spring-like; as a man, I like it, though it would probably suit a woman better due to the rose. Pleasant, normal projection; if someone gets close, they notice it, and it’s not intrusive; use it in enclosed spaces. Safe buy, 100% recommended, accessible price, and the replication doesn’t hurt. I’d like to smell more saffron or neroli, perhaps my sense of smell is inexperienced. It’s not overly complex, which makes it usable and practical, as scents like Atlas (similar to Orto Parisi’s Megamare) are disruptive for daily life. Enjoy.

Lattafa, you’re going to leave me broke! Lies, I don’t think that will happen with the prices this house charges. Since I discovered Lattafa, I haven’t bought any designer perfumes. The quality/price/quantity ratio is impressively good. It’s my seventh perfume, and I like to have several to use depending on the outfit I wear daily. This was a pleasant surprise as a blind buy. It projects powerfully (I just received it and applied one spray to my hand, but you can tell), it’s a personality perfume for someone with a strong personality: it’s patchouli with flowers, tangerine, something dark (it says suede) and a sweet touch (only in the opening, then it fades). Everything is balanced. I go by the packaging, which is beautiful (looks inspired by Dior’s J’adore) in a simpler box (Lattafa puts luxury into the packaging, sometimes in both). I recommend it for those who want to be walking air fresheners. Scent: 10/10, Packaging: 10/10, Longevity: 8/10 (drops towards the end but remains present), Sillage: 6/10 (not powerful, doesn’t linger on you). It’s soft, for daily wear, feminine, balanced, and non-intrusive. Too pleasant. Today I received the best compliment: a friend hugged me and wanted to kiss me. It doesn’t project for miles (like Awaan or Amethyst) but it’s 10/10 pleasant. 100% recommended.

This is my first review; I’m trying to be objective. Sondos is by Lattafa, an Arab house with good perfumes at ridiculous prices. Although the ingredients are synthetic, you only notice it at first; once it dries down, the notes soften and blend in. Projection isn’t its strong suit, but at $25 for 100ml, you can apply it five times a day without wincing. The tangerine comes through well, very citrusy; as it dries, the apricot and rose become more noticeable. I don’t smell much neroli, perhaps my nose can’t distinguish it, but the rose is strong. The patchouli lasts a while before fading after four hours. It’s cheerful, floral, fruity, and spring-like. My husband likes it, though with the rose, it might suit a woman better—it’s a matter of taste. It’s pleasant, normal projection, not invasive, perfect for indoors. A safe buy, 100% recommended, accessible price, and the dupe doesn’t hurt. I’d like to smell more saffron or neroli, perhaps my nose is inexperienced. It’s not too fussy, making it usable and practical, unlike scents like Atlas which are disruptive for daily life. Enjoy it.

I bought it a week after having it on my list for a while; I decided to get it because there were many good reviews, and what a letdown!! I’m letting it air out for a few days as I do with other Arabic fragrances, hoping they’ll improve a bit, but no matter how hard I try to find the good in it, I can’t! I’m not sure exactly what it is, perhaps the blend of suede with one of the flowers, but it smells like fuel, something like carpentry oil paint, I don’t know, it’s a pity because I collect perfumes and I understand others might like it, but this one is very pretty in the bottle, good price, but the smell is terrible. I’ll update if I see improvement after a few weeks.

Saffron gives the neroli that sweet touch, layered over peach blossom on a suede base. It’s feminine, wearable, and features caramel notes. Very versatile; it’s not one-dimensional, as I discover new nuances the longer I wear it. Complex, mysterious, and elegant with a niche vibe. Longevity depends on the batch, so I’ll let it macerate for a few days. Fresh and spring-like, though I also wear it in autumn. Edit: Scent 7/10, longevity 6/10, sillage 6/10. It’s elegant, but I wouldn’t buy it again. The packaging is 10/10 and beautiful; I think ‘Sondos’ comes from ‘sound’. It’s lovely for gifting.

I bought it a week after having it on my list, decided based on the good comments, and what a disappointment. I’ll let it air out for a few days as I do with other Arab perfumes and perhaps it will improve, but no matter how hard I look, I can’t find the good. I don’t know what it is, perhaps the blend of suede with some flower, but it smells like fuel, like carpentry oil paint. It’s a pity because I collect perfumes and understand that others might like it, but the bottle is very nice, good price, but the scent is terrible. I’ll update if the aroma improves after weeks.

Well, well, well… With this perfume, life must be SWEET, very sweet! Mamitaaa!! It’s rich and elegant, but I don’t think it’s for everyday wear; rather, for special occasions like gatherings or outdoor events, not dates or enclosed spaces. Be careful with the number of sprays; use it sparingly. It made me dizzy, and even though my nose is getting more accustomed to scents, I use L’Veb, Club de Nuit Intense Woman, or Moschino Gold Fresh without limits in an office, but Sondos gave me a right hook, and I now have respect for the noses around me. Good longevity.

What a find! The packaging is luxurious and the bottle is beautiful. I’ve just opened it, so I can’t confirm the longevity yet, but it smells sweet: the neroli and peach blossom come through. As I know this scent, it’s a gem—refined, sweet, and very elegant. Ideal for spring and summer, perfect for daytime. I absolutely loved it; I’m 43 and my 15-year-old daughter is fighting me for it, haha, we both adored it. A blind buy with a total hit.

A total discovery of the luxury packaging, a steal, the bottle is gorgeous. The smell, when newly bought, is sweet; the neroli and peach blossom come out, I know those scents, and it’s a treasure. I find it refined, sweet, and very elegant; ideal for spring-summer, a daytime perfume. I loved it; I’m 43, but my 15-year-old daughter and I are fighting over it, haha, we both loved it. Ahhh, it was a totally blind buy and a hit.

Lattafa Sondos is an ethereal woody fragrance that opens with a vigorous aroma of oud and musk. It has the best response to other clones; it’s designed for men and women. Scent: cedar, citrus, rose, flowers, pink pepper, grapefruit, oud, amber, woody notes, and patchouli.

This perfume smells lovely and very elegant: sweet tangerine juice, suede, and neroli are the notes that stand out most on my skin. Moderate sillage, lasting about six hours. A safe buy for those who like sweet citrus scents and leather notes.
sasyuri80
On my skin, I don’t detect the fussy notes; instead, I get citrus, neroli, and patchouli. It lasts a long time and leaves an incredible trail.

On my skin, I don’t notice the effeminate notes; I do notice citrus, neroli, and patchouli. Lasts a very long time with great sillage.
La boricua
It’s a good fragrance, a bit sweet, I find it somewhat similar to Roberto Cavalli, lasts a maximum of eight hours. Worth trying.
