Lattafa Artisan Ethnique Eau de Parfum — 3.4oz/100ml

Rum, coffee and caramel. It should be far too much, and it isn't — here's why.

How it wears
It opens boozy. Rum with cinnamon and sugar, warm and immediately sweet, the kind of opening that usually tells you exactly where the next six hours are going.

Then the heart does something unexpected. Caramel, cacao and coffee arrive as promised — but there's oakmoss in there with them. Damp, earthy, slightly bitter. It sits underneath all that sugar and pulls the whole thing back from the edge.

That's the fragrance. A gourmand with something dry running through the middle of it, so it reads rich instead of sickly. Oakmoss is not a note you expect at this price, and it's the reason this one is worth knowing about.

Vanilla, tonka bean, cashmere wood and labdanum finish it warm and soft.

Cold weather, evenings. Unisex, and it genuinely wears that way.
