You Smell Expensive…But Spent Less on These Lattafa Perfumes

Published

on

Here are nine of the best Lattafa perfumes for women under UGX 250,000. They are affordable, long-lasting, and absolutely stunning.

When it comes to selecting a fragrance that’s as multifaceted as a woman in the 21st century, Lattafa’s collection of perfumes for women provides a veritable playground. Lattafa is a Middle Eastern brand that creates perfumes that rival their high-end designer counterparts.

The good part is that Lattafa doesn’t make “Oud” its end-all or be-all. It truly has a diverse range of fragrances with sophisticated scent notes.

From sumptuous vanilla concoctions to alluring floral bouquets, there’s a scent to suit every mood, every outfit (yes, because we sometimes use select perfumes together with certain outfit combinations), and every occasion.

I did my research and curated a list of nine Lattafa perfumes that are top-notch performers, will suit the tastes of different women with unique personalities, and are all under the UGX 250,000 mark.

1. Rave Now 

If a fragrance could wear a tiara, Rave Now would! It has a rose-almond scent that reminds me of a princess at a royal ball. It’s often compared to cult classics like Burberry Her and Her Elixir de Parfum, though it’s more of a sophisticated cousin than an exact twin.

Upon spraying it, expect a brief burst of alcohol (a mere 10 seconds, mind you), before getting into the actual scent. Rave Now is an ultra-feminine mix of red fruits, vanilla, and marshmallows, with a powdery, floral dry-down.

If you fancy sweet, pink-fluffy, Arabian musks, Rave Now is well worth a try. Just be prepared for the occasional headache if you do not like overly sugary scents. Price: 200,000UGX. Where To Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

Key Notes: Red fruits, orange, jasmine, lily of the valley, marshmallow, musk, vanilla, moss.

2.  Eclaire

Eclaire is a perfume for vanilla-obsessed women. The name itself is a French word for an “oblong pastry that is filled with whipped cream or custard.” If smelling like a creamy, caramel-drizzled pastry sounds like what you would like, then Eclaire is your fragrance soulmate.

This milky, sweet, and delicious scent is a dupe for Bianco Latte. It’s a long-lasting vanilla caramel bomb that earns endless compliments. However, it may be too much for everyday wear (unless you enjoy people leaning in for unwanted sniffs). It’s perfect for date nights or an evening out with the girls. Price: 200,000UGX. Where to Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

Key Notes: Vanilla, caramel, milk, sugar, honey, white blossom, praline, musk.

3. Angham 

True to its name (Angham means “melodies”), this fragrance plays a soft symphony on your skin. Angham is super sweet, but not in a saccharine, dessert-like manner. Instead, it has a warm, gentle sweetness that is very approachable. It has a beautifully balanced mix of praline, lavender, and vanilla.

While it doesn’t have beast-mode longevity (expect around 5 – 6 hours), it’s an elegant, easy-to-wear scent that makes you smell effortlessly lovely. It also lasts much longer on clothes. Angham is a fragrance for the sweet, feminine, and pretty woman. Price: 200,000UGX. Where To Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

Key Notes: Ginger, mandarin orange, pink pepper, cocoa, lavender, praline, amber, musk, vanilla.

4. Bade’e Al Oud Apple Sublime

A dupe for Kayali Eden Apple, Lattafa perfected the balance of sweet and fresh with this perfume. The dominant lychee note gives it a juicy, candy-like scent, while vanilla and moss don’t let stray too far and become too cloying. Bade’e Al Oud Apple Sublime is an uncomplicated, straight up juicy sweet and fruity perfume.

It’s the sort of fragrance that can effortlessly transition from a day at the office to an evening rendezvous. If you’re a fan of fruity fragrances, this is an uplifting, fun, and flirty perfume that lasts for hours. Price: 120,000UGX. Where To Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

Key Notes: Apple, lychee, rose, plum, jasmine, vanilla, moss, patchouli.

5. Khamrah

Picture a bakery overflowing with cinnamon rolls, nutmeg-dusted pastries, and warm vanilla treats…that’s Khamrah in a bottle. Its spicy-sweet gourmand profile makes it one of those perfumes that feels rich, indulgent, and comforting all at once.

Khamrah embodies the “rich aunty” energy well. It’s a perfume for the kind of woman who always smells divine, has an enviable wardrobe, and never forgets to slip you a little cash. It also has a remarkable staying power of 8 to 10 hours. Price: 180,000UGX. Where To Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

Key Notes: Cinnamon, nutmeg, praline, date, tuberose, amber wood, vanilla.

6. Fakhar Rose

Last but by no means least, Fakhar Rose is one of the most exquisite white floral fragrances ever crafted. It is a masterpiece for those who adore heady white florals with some fruitiness.

Due to its powdery nature, this is not your typical tuberose-heavy scent that people tag as a “grandma” scent. Fakhar Rose is more sophisticated, modern, and ultra-feminine.

The orange blossom, jasmine, and patchouli also give it a luxurious, office-friendly vibe, while the honey sweetness in the dry-down keeps it from being too floral. And let’s not forget the beast-mode longevity and sillage – just a few sprays, and you’ll turn heads all day. Price: 120,000UGX. Where To Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

Key Notes: Orange blossom, tuberose, jasmine, patchouli, vetiver.

Lattafa has masterfully curated a collection of fragrances that caters to every facet of femininity. They have fruity fragrances for girly girls, vanilla fragrances for gourmand lovers, and rose fragrances for elegant, ultra-feminine women.

If you want a subtle, everyday fragrance or a bold statement scent for special occasions, there’s a Lattafa perfume that will not only complement your style but could become your signature scent.

Published

By

From oud to amber, these Arabian Perfumes rival high-end brands without the hefty price tag. We’ve rounded up 5 must-try Arabian perfumes that deliver long-lasting luxury without breaking the bank!

Arabian perfumes have been having a major moment in 2024. Not only have they become famous for producing luxurious dupes of popular designer and niche brands, but they’re also known for their intense, long-lasting fragrances at affordable prices.

As a fragrance lover myself, I have curated a list of seven affordable Arabian fragrances that don’t break the bank. The fragrances on this list are easy to find, smell amazing, and last for hours—tried, tested, and loved!

1. Khamrah by Lattafa

Imagine walking into a luxurious hotel lobby in a hustle and bustle metropolitan city—that’s what Khamrah smells like. This unisex oriental fragrance contains a rich blend of sweet and spicy notes like cinnamon, nutmeg, dates, praline, and vanilla, with warm notes of tonka bean and myrrh. Many perfume enthusiasts say it reminds them of cinnamon apple pie or even a boozy holiday drink, but to me, it smells like a sweet gingerbread cookie.

Something about it gives huge Christmas vibes, making it perfect for the festive season (not to say you can’t wear it all year round). Plus, it lasts a solid 8 hours, making it a perfect choice for work or formal occasions. Price: UGX 180,000/=. Where To Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS

2. Berries Weekend Pink Edition by Fragrance World 

If the idea of smelling like candied fruit sounds like your jam, Berries Weekend is the fragrance for you. This sweet, fruity floral perfume is a hit with women who love fresh, fruity, and sweet scents. With juicy notes of tangerine, iris, and nectarine, this fragrance feels like having a picnic or walking through a garden of blooming flowers and ripe fruits. Ideal for date nights, it’s light but long-lasting.

Additionally, I often find myself going nose-blind to it, but the compliments I get from people around me prove that this fruity fragrance is still doing its things. A crowd favourite for sure. Price: UGX100,000. Where To Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

3. Yara Pink by Lattafa [Original]

Do you live for sweet vanilla fragrances? Then Yara is the scent for you. Imagine a creamy strawberry milkshake in perfume form—that’s Yara Pink. It’s a simple but irresistibly sweet scent that gives off major brunch-with-the-girls vibes. Wearing it feels like wrapping yourself in pink tulle—it’s girly, playful, and unapologetically feminine.

If you want something that will have people stopping you on the street and asking what fragrance you’re wearing, Yara is it. Price: UGX150,000. Where to Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

4. Club de Nuit Woman by Afnan

If you’re looking for an affordable dupe of Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel, Club de Nuit Woman is the answer. Its name, which roughly translates to “Night Club woman,” isn’t exactly the vibe the fragrance gives off. First of all, it is a second skin scent which means it’s very soapy and clean – perfect for daytime wear. Secondly, this fragrance is very elegant and sophisticated, not exactly what you’ll find in the club.

A few sprays of this fragrance go a long way, thanks to its high oil concentration, but be warned—too much can be overwhelming! Price: UGX250,000. Where to Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.

5. Club de Nuit Intense Man by Armaf

We can’t talk about Arabian perfumes without mentioning Club de Nuit Intense Man—a fragrance that has gained cult status among Uganda men.

With its sharp citrusy notes of lemon and bergamot paired with smokey birch and leather, this fragrance is perfect for someone who wants to stand out. It’s a bold, confident scent that can last 8-10 hours, making it ideal for a long day out. One thing’s for sure—you won’t go unnoticed. Price: UGX200,000. Where to Buy: Shop BOOM SCENTS.
