LattafaMaison Alhambra Athena for Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce

Lattafa Maison is a warm, elegant unisex fragrance with a fresh citrus opening, a floral-spicy heart, and a creamy, woody dry-down. It smells luxurious and lasts 7–9 hours, making it a great budget-friendly alternative to niche scents. Perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions. Beautiful bottle, great value.

I honestly never write a review but THIS perfume is worth the praise and effort. The price for the size of the bottle was such a pleasant surprise. I’ll admit when I first applied it, I was underwhelmed as if I’d smelled the scent before but once it sat and warmed up on my skin for about 20 min, my mind completely changed about my initial doubts. I’m no expert about fragrance notes but it is such a sweet, warm, feminine, sexy, without being overpowering scent. The vaporizer releases softly and the longevity lasts about 6 hrs for me. I’ll spray some on my skin and I can still smell the aroma of it on my clothes the next day. I’m honestly here for it and I’ll definitely be purchasing another bottle.

Most of the reviews are spot on, when you first spray and sniff quickly it does smell like old grandma perfume, but seconds later after it has dried on the skin, the scent is very warm vanilla and seductive it's a mature scent it's not fruity or sweet, it's vanilla, auburn, it stays for hours one spray can smell a room. The packaging is beautiful it makes me feel like a Goddess

I'm currently wearing it side by side with I'm currently wearing it side by side with The original Burberry goddess and another dupe. I dont think this smells close to Goddess but I like it much better than goddess. Goddess opens with heavy gardenia side a side dish of suntan lotion. Athena is more vanilla amber, warm and sensual. Athena is not a complex fragrance (it doesnt "develope", at least not on me) nor does it smell high end. In fact, if it reminds me of anything it smells like that discontinued drugstore perfume from Halle Berry called "Halle" (I still have a small bit left in my bottle and next I will test my theory with Athena side by side with that one). So while it reminds me of a drugstore perfume, it happens to be a very pleasing drugstore perfume.

Very lovely, feminine, soft scent. Reminds me a lot of Lattafa’s Angham, but with less of a gingery sharpness. Both are absolutely beautiful fragrances! I personally feel this can be worn any time of year. I’m not much for overly floral fragrances, and this one has a soft and not overpowering floral note. Just a gorgeous perfume altogether.

I bought this and Angham, both are supposed to be Burberry Goddess dupes. This one is more citrusy than the other two, which makes it great for summer. The longevity is fair, I get a few hours off of it before I have to spray again, so I keep a decant in my purse. And the bottle is very pretty.

Amazing perfume and unique design! I love that it has a relaxing yet solid ooze that leaves me smelling sweet.

UPDATE: It has now been 23 days of maturing - not that long for a Lattafa scent - and this is DIVINE. I just now ordered another bottle to let it macerate for months while I use this one up. I cannot even describe how far this has come. This started as probably the only Lattafa that I worried about. Now it's one of my favorite daytime go-to scents.When I pair this with anything with toffee or chocolate (think Creamy Biscuit), I can actually use the description "divine". It makes me want to keep sniffing my own arm and wrists!This isn't my favorite Lattafa scent (at least not yet), but it's nice. It's more subtle than any of the other 8 or 9 that I have. It's a soft and office-friendly (or school, crowds, etc.) scent. Right now, I'd give her 4.5 stars.It's a citrus-leaning, powder type of scent with VERY soft florals. The vanilla comes out more on the dry down. Thankfully, I don't get a lot of spice, which would be too strong in something this soft overall.I say it's not yet one of my faves but, honestly, Lattafa scents need time to come to bloom LOL. This might be something different after a few weeks. Right now, it is a go-to for when I have to be in crowded spaces. It's so soft and safe.Not a bad blind buy because of the price and the general notes - powdery-citrus-floral.The bottle is one of the more subtle of Lattafas. It's subtle and has a pretty faux marble top that I really like.
