by Lattafa Perfumes
Al Andaleeb by Lattafa Perfumes is a sweet, feminine, and well-balanced fragrance that leans into gourmand and citrusy fruit notes with a soft woody base. It opens with bright citrus and mandarin orange, creating a juicy, sparkly top that quickly transitions into a creamy floral core featuring jasmine and rose. The dry down reveals a warm, sweet patchouli and sandalwood foundation with vetiver adding a subtle earthy depth that enhances the overall richness without becoming masculine or overwhelming. The scent is praised for its elegant, coherent structure, with some noting a distinct marshmallow-like sweetness and vanilla-like warmth that isn't explicitly listed but is widely perceived. It is considered a safe blind buy for those who enjoy fragrances with a sweet, floral, and slightly gourmand profile—similar to La Vie Est Belle or Coco Mademoiselle—but without the aoud or heavy Middle Eastern intensity. The fragrance is praised for its beautiful bottle design and affordability, though some users report it fades quickly and lacks strong projection. While it shares a DNA with Scandal by JPG, most agree it's not a duplicate and has its own unique identity.
