LattafaPerfumes Suqraat for Men Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce

I possess ACQUA DI GIÒ, but I sought a comparable product for daily use to reduce expenses. This option aligns perfectly with my requirements, as it exhibits a remarkable similarity that renders it challenging to discern between the two unless I apply both products to each arm for cross-referencing.The fragrance possesses a distinct aquatic aroma, which deviates slightly from the provided notes. While I distinctly perceive aquatic notes and the bergamot at the top, sage and rosemary subsequently emerge, evoking a sense of a damp, mossy forest environment. This classic scent, originating from the 1990s, undoubtedly commands attention due to its timeless elegance.Regarding projection, the fragrance effectively maintains a distance of approximately one arm’s length from the body, leaving a pleasant scent trail that draws attention to the wearer’s presence. It is worth noting that initially, the fragrance may not be fully matured, making it ideal for wearing around the house. With time, approximately one to two weeks later, the fragrance will have significantly improved, as is often the case with Lataffa fragrances.For my final thought, I would say that where I live, I don’t have a lot of people wearing cologne daily, so it definitely makes me smell better than the majority of people. Also, while there are differences between the Acqua di Giò and Suqraat, it’s pretty similar. Unless you’re around people who have worked at a perfume counter, they likely won’t know the difference. For the price, I am blown out of the water by the quality.

The scent smells good and it lasts a good while. It's projection fades after 5 hours but is still there around 8 hours. If your body heat kicks up, the lingering scent will project a little bit more. Was much better than I expected it as a blind buy.

This is a good cologne for somebody looking for an inexpensive close to body everyday scent with fresh sea notes at the top and a hint of Musk like masculine darkness at its core.This is of course a clone of Aqua di gio Profumo and it does a good job of that with a very similar smell at a 1/5th of the price. The Lattafa brand is a known and popular clone brand with a reputation for good clones at good prices,however I was disappointed shortly after application as I was reaching at the bottle to put on more only approx. 3 hours later after use, I’d say Seemingly light projection after the 1st hour with none 4-5 hours after use.Although This is not a complete downer as fresh colognes aren’t renown for their longevity anyway, it is to be noted.I still think this cologne for the price is still very worth the pickup and thdcompany does an amazing job at offering designer level colognes at a fair price!!!

Great scent, lasts all workday on my skin. 4 sprays max. Assuming it will last even longer on clothing. Waiting to see how it evolved after maturation, but right now it's already a great, masculine fresh scent for the summer

Amazing scent, second time buying it since is so good. Smells like aqua di gio Profumo.

La fragancias ed burna pero tiene muy poca duración en piel. No parece ser eau the perfum.

I'm judging this juice strictly on its own merits, not by how close it is to another cologne.The scent is luscious. Warm, rich and slightly sweet, even a bit fruity to my nose without leaning feminine. I could wear this every day in the cool season, probably in Springtime too. Maybe not a good choice for the Summer daytime heat. Great date night scent for Summer evenings though.Regarding its short duration: That will improve over time. Usually inexpensive perfumes are shipped freshly made. This makes a difference.Lattafa (and sister house Alhambra) produce perfume in massive amounts and I think normally they don't macerate the perfumes as part of the production process, the way boutique perfumers do. These colognes still need to mature a bit; that will affect the smell itself as well as strength and staying power.Here's how to improve it - I was amazed at what a difference this can make for budget scents:First pump ten or twelve sprays into the air; this allows a little air into the bottle. Then put the bottle back in its box, lay it face down and leave it in a closet or drawer for six weeks or so. That's it.Perfumes are smoother and more cohesive once the notes are well combined. Often a scent that was weak will become much stronger. Staying power can increase by hours. Projection & scent trail usually improve too. Absolutely worth trying before you give your bottle away.Maturation really is a minor miracle. A couple of months rest can turn a dud into a real gem.

Longevity isn’t great but definitely smells like aqua dio gio the original more than the profondo
