LattafaPerfumes Ana Abiyedh Rouge for Unisex Eau de Parfum Spray, 2.0 Ounce / 60 ml

Learn to be patient, guys. This is a middle eastern fragrance, meaning that in most cases, they need to mature. If you get the Rouge and feel like its lasting power is fleeting (gone in a few minutes), it is likely one of two things:1) you’ve gone 100% noseblind to this. This is a known thing with the real BR540 along with many of its dupes. Sometimes, you think it’s gone in just a few minutes but then 6 hours later, I’ll have someone compliment me on my fragrance. Olfactory fatigue is real. If you want wafts of it throughout the day, spray below the neckline and if you want it higher, go back of the neck, not front, to give your sinuses a break.2) it needs to mature. In many cases, especially with UAE fragrances, they’re churning them out quickly. As a result, the fragrances may not have been given a proper chance to blend together. Upon first receipt, spray the fragrance 3-5 times and then take the fragrance, preferably with the cap off, and put it in a very dark, cool place for a few weeks (3-4 weeks preferably). When you come back to it, the scent should be smoother and be longer lasting. I know it sounds ridiculous to some but it really does make a difference.This fragrance should easily get you through an 8-hour workday if spraying on skin and a little on the shirt. If not, try the things mentioned above. A lot of Lattafa fragrances and others from the UAE (Maison Alhambra, Fragrance World, Ard Al Zaafaran, etc) do need to sit a little bit after spraying/introducing some oxygen into the bottle in order to reach their full potential.Be mindful of where you’re applying your fragrance and be patient! Ana Abiyedh Rouge is a perfect happy medium between BR540 and Cloud if you take this into consideration.

This fragrance, while a little on the lighter side, is an almost identical scent of BR540. It is just delicious and delightful. So far this may be one of the closest, if not the closest of the others out there with the same claims from reviewers. I thoroughly love BR but like many others I cannot afford it. I have, however, purchased BR540 oil and a sample size. Having said that, I can give a pretty good comparison and side by side (or should I say wrist by wrist) the scents nearly matched.If you are looking for a clone (a dupe is different) then this is the one for you. I will agree that is is not as long lasting but guess what…it’s a clone and it’s cheap. I don’t expect it to last like the real thing but I will say this, it makes me feel just as good as when I put the real one on and that speaks volumes. I also have gone nose blind to it so it surprises me when it does hit me hours after applying it. It perks me back up after a long day!The bottle is very pretty, it is simple and heavy with a beautiful satin/almost matte finished cap that has crystals in it. It’s very pretty and looks lovely displayed with my other fragrances.I hope you enjoy this fragrance as much as I have. You definitely will not be disappointed with how beautiful it is and how close to the “real thing” it is. And yes, I’m buying another :-)

I was excited to try this fragrance being that TikTok says it's a nice dupe for Baccarat Rouge. I will start with the positives.....Pros:My package was delivered on time and well packed. The perfume came in it's original box, perfectly wrapped, and there was no leakage or anything off about the packing/packaging. The bottle is simple enough, nothing too fancy.Cons:I must say, I am disappointed especially since alot of attention was given to this fragrance. This fragrance slightly reminds me of Ariana Grandes' Cloud, but with missing notes, and a much cheaper smell. I own Cloud as well and compared them. I first sprayed a few spritzes on my arm and waited to see how Rouge would die down. There doesn't seem to be alot of an alcohol in this fragrance, but maybe that is also why it doesn't last....AT ALL. This fragrance is very WEAK. It also seems to be a bit oily, so be very careful to not spray this on your clothes.After 2 sprays, it dries down to a barely there soft, yet a bit 'MUSTY' fragrance that smells....(I'm sorry to say) very cheap. It almost smells like a car freshener that is trying its hardest to be....high end.I sprayed another two spritzes hoping there would be a bit more staying power, and that this Ana Abiyedh Rouge fragrance would somehow become more appealing, but sadly it did not.Remember I said it smells like Cloud? I would recommend giving that a shot. I sprayed Cloud on my other arm to get a sense of the similarities and differences. This Rouge fragrance started to make me feel nauseous. Something about just doesn't sit well with me, or maybe it just doesn't go well with my body's chemistry.I purchased this for about $20, and the price was increasing as it sat in my cart for only about 10 mins. It was a few dollars less before adding it to my cart. All of this is just my opinion, so try it for yourself if you want to know what it's like. But for me, this is the first and last time I am buying this unless some changes are made to the fragrance itself. Something about it is entirely nauseating, and I have to figure out whether I will toss it or give it to someone else.This fragrance is a decent try, but it misses the mark.
