Adeeb Lattafa
by Lattafa Perfumes
Adeeb Lattafa unfolds with a sharp, herbal brightness reminiscent of a vintage 1980s masculine cologne—think green notes, a hint of coriander, and an immediate touch of spice and smoke. Over time, it deepens into a complex, smoky, woody base marked by patchouli, oud, and a powdery barbershop-like warmth, creating an earthy, mature fragrance with a smooth, creamy drydown. The evolution is non-linear: it starts bold and masculine, then softens into something more unisex and musky, with a soft, almost soapy character in the final stage. It’s not flashy in sillage—moderate projection with a long, smooth finish—but it lingers well into the night and carries an authentic vintage charm, recalling classic perfumes like Givenchy Gentleman and Drakkar Noir. The scent feels crafted with attention to detail, offering a layered, almost “cozy” intensity that stands out in a modern fragrance landscape.
