LattafaPerfumes Ana Abiyedh Rouge for Unisex Eau de Parfum Spray, 2.0 Ounce / 60 ml

Obsessed!!First, I couldn't smell a dang thing! I was sure this would be a waste. However, I decided to wait like some reviews had said. AND HOLY CR@P! It changed!!These perfumes really do need to mature for a while. I've smelled BR540, it's very similar but it's sweeter, definitely more feminine but still pretty unisex if you're a guy who likes mildly sweet scents.I don't get where Lattafa gets their notes from, but I get strong saffron and almond?Definitely need to wait and let them mature and develop for about a month for a few weeks, then they start to shine.I wish it lasted longer, I only get about 4-6 hours from it. Silage is also not as strong as some other perfumes. This is a nice everyday, not TOO distracting smell, sweet but not immature sweet. I like it more than BR540 but wish it was a little more... punch?The bottle is pretty, will look lovely sitting out on the vanity. Nicely packaged. Feels like quality without the price tag. Overall, it's a sweeter BR540 and a decent alternative.

I received this perfume yesterday and wore it to an event last night. When I first put it on, I could smell it and the scent was very nice. But, then it seemed like the scent disappeared, and I asked my husband if he could smell it and he could at first and liked it, but then also thought it disappeared. However, throughout the evening I kept smelling it off and on and my husband said the same thing! When we got home, I put my hair up in a ponytail to go to sleep. This morning, when I took my hair down, it smelled wonderful, just like the perfume and hours later, I can still smell it! So, it is a keeper!! Also, the size of the bottle is much larger than I expected. I shared a picture with a pair of regular eyeglasses, so you can see how large the bottle is. It definitely should last a long time!

I was excited to try this fragrance being that TikTok says it's a nice dupe for Baccarat Rouge. I will start with the positives.....Pros:My package was delivered on time and well packed. The perfume came in it's original box, perfectly wrapped, and there was no leakage or anything off about the packing/packaging. The bottle is simple enough, nothing too fancy.Cons:I must say, I am disappointed especially since alot of attention was given to this fragrance. This fragrance slightly reminds me of Ariana Grandes' Cloud, but with missing notes, and a much cheaper smell. I own Cloud as well and compared them. I first sprayed a few spritzes on my arm and waited to see how Rouge would die down. There doesn't seem to be alot of an alcohol in this fragrance, but maybe that is also why it doesn't last....AT ALL. This fragrance is very WEAK. It also seems to be a bit oily, so be very careful to not spray this on your clothes.After 2 sprays, it dries down to a barely there soft, yet a bit 'MUSTY' fragrance that smells....(I'm sorry to say) very cheap. It almost smells like a car freshener that is trying its hardest to be....high end.I sprayed another two spritzes hoping there would be a bit more staying power, and that this Ana Abiyedh Rouge fragrance would somehow become more appealing, but sadly it did not.Remember I said it smells like Cloud? I would recommend giving that a shot. I sprayed Cloud on my other arm to get a sense of the similarities and differences. This Rouge fragrance started to make me feel nauseous. Something about just doesn't sit well with me, or maybe it just doesn't go well with my body's chemistry.I purchased this for about $20, and the price was increasing as it sat in my cart for only about 10 mins. It was a few dollars less before adding it to my cart. All of this is just my opinion, so try it for yourself if you want to know what it's like. But for me, this is the first and last time I am buying this unless some changes are made to the fragrance itself. Something about it is entirely nauseating, and I have to figure out whether I will toss it or give it to someone else.This fragrance is a decent try, but it misses the mark.

I've never smelled BR540 so I can't confirm how we'll this dupes it, but it is going to be an absolute staple in my collection, from now on. I'm actually using this as a backup for a more expensive "dupe," which has the same citrus notes at the top. AA Rouge is a little heavier handed with the citrus than my beloved other dupe, but it's not enough to keep me from repurchasing.

Okay, so I have been using a dupe Bacarat Rouge from Dossier. It was great until I got 2 bottles in a row that smelled more like alcohol than perfume. So…I decided to check here and try something new.I am in LOVE with this scent and brand. It came very well packaged (some other complaints about other dupes were about spillage and bad shipping. This was in perfect condition and smells AMAZING. Very authentic. AND it costs far less than most of the dupes.I am so happy I found this. 😊

Did the formula change? When I bought this perfume last year, I thought it smelled SO good and so much like BR540. I just bought it again because I ran out of my previous bottle, and this one smells COMPLETELY different. It smells very strong of alcohol, which the last bottle I had did not. After it dries down It kinda smells similar, but it is definitely not what I was used to smelling. It also smells fainter, not nearly as strong as the lost bottle I purchased. Did anyone else have this issue?
