Velvet Rose Lattafa
by Lattafa Perfumes
Velvet Rose by Lattafa unfolds as a soft, refined rose scent with a subtle chypre foundation. It opens with a delicate, slightly woody and powdery rose, enhanced by a whisper of patchouli and musk, giving it a quiet, intimate presence. Over time, the fragrance gains depth, revealing a faint leathery note and a hint of amber that adds sophistication without heaviness. While few mention the bold, jammy rose suggested by some, the scent leans toward the pale, watercolour rose—natural, feminine, and gently rounded. The dry down is pale and soft, with an almost lip balm-like sweetness that lingers, and though overt sweetness is absent, the overall feel remains pleasant and wearable. The perfume is well-suited for daytime wear, particularly in spring and autumn, and integrates seamlessly into professional and informal settings.
Pros
- +The scent is soft, elegant, and feminine without being overwhelming—ideal for office or casual wear.
- +Good value for money, with a noticeable effort in presentation and packaging.
- +Longevity is moderate—lasting comfortably through a full day, especially if applied generously.
Cons
- −The scent varies significantly between batches, with some users perceiving a plasticky or synthetic nuance and others detecting a faint leathery or harsh note.
- −Not robust in projection or sillage—many find it faint, especially on first wear.
- −Presents a niche character that may not appeal to those seeking a bold or opulent rose, or a clear oud presence.
