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

Finally hopped on the BR 540 bandwagon after trying a sample at Nordstrom. My son and I initially sprayed the tester and got nothing but watery notes. It turns out the display is only full of water and they keep the good stuff behind the counter! After getting a sample card of the real thing we both looked at each other like it hardly smells any different! So to me it definitely wasn’t worth $$$ and I went in search of a good dupe. Up came this beauty. For less than $20 I thought what do I have to lose? Pleasantly surprised, smells just like the real thing with slightly more longevity. I can smell it on my clothes for approximately 8hours. It’s an opulent and more mature leaning scent, perfect for an older demographic like myself. My teenage kids don’t much care for it, which is understandable, they are into fresh scents at the moment. My oldest son said it reminds him of a Vegas casino, it has that slight tobacco nuance. Overall a great buy, I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a good BR 540 dupe, it will go into my regular rotation.

I keep coming back to Ana Abiyedh Rouge because the scent itself is amazing. I’ve purchased it several times now, and I’ll continue to buy it because I love the way it smells. On my skin, though, it doesn’t last long. The fragrance absorbs quickly and fades within about an hour, which is disappointing for something that smells this good. I suspect the concentration strength is on the lighter side.That being said, the scent profile is beautiful. The opening of saffron and bitter almond feels both warm and slightly sweet, then it moves into cedar and jasmine for a woody, floral heart. The dry down of ambergris, musk, and woods is soft, airy, and elegant. It has a luxurious character that reminds me of higher-end niche perfumes, but at a very approachable price.If longevity were stronger, this would easily be a five-star fragrance for me. As it is, I still enjoy it for layering with other scents, or for when I just want a quick burst of something beautiful without committing to a heavy, long-lasting fragrance.

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.

Okay so I’ll be honest, I purchased this based on many people saying it was a dupe for the BR540 fragrance that I have never even smelled lol. I knew nothing what it smelled like but a few compared it to Cloud by Arianna Grande which I also have never smelled but I know it’s a fan fave. I had it on my wishlist, ended up getting a gift card & decided to buy it and I was hoping it wasn’t one of those like spicy strong scents that give you a headache like a Calvin Klein obsession type scent I am more into musky & sweet. Anyway, the minute I opened it and sprayed it, I recognized the scent, which tells me someone or multiple people I know must be wearing it & I have no idea. With that, I sprayed a minimal amount on my neck & wrists, and off I went. I went to dinner & a concert, danced, stayed up late and here I am about 24 hrs later still haven’t showered (don’t judge me) and I can still smell this stuff on myself. Which is not what I was expecting considering so many were getting nose blind to it I didn’t think it was going to be this strong..meaning it stays. The scent itself, it’s nice, it’s unique..I don’t think it’s for everyone I’ll say that. Definitely unisex though which is nice..can’t speak to much on whether or not it’s a good dupe for the scent I mentioned but since it smelled so familiar to me I’m going to guess & say it’s pretty darn close! If you’re thinking about it, I’d say try it. Its $20 ish bucks can’t go wrong
