LattafaVictoria for Women Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce / 100 ml

I’m shocked at how good this smells. Victoria in my honest opinion is so much better than the OG, it’s more smooth more creamier, more warmth, not the strong lemon cleaner smell but more gourmand. I own the OG also.I recently went skiing and I had lightly (I think) sprayed some on me not much because I knew I had to put on my ski overalls which are thick. Once we arrived I put on my overalls, boots, hat, and gloves, we go to the top of the mountain. As we were waiting to ski down a lady said Excuse me, but what are you wearing because it smells so good?! I was shocked because first, I didn’t think I sprayed that much and second I had on all this ski gear. Third, we’re surrounded by snow, at the top of a mountain and covered head to toe. But, I told her what it was and she said Oh no! that sounds like a luxury perfume! 😂 why would I correct her in front of people. I shared the info at least. The longevity on me was 6 plus.

I'm in love with this fragrance, it's exquisite. People say it's a dupe of Devotion; Personally, I think they are very similar, but it isn't a dupe (it doesn't have that orange blossom of Devotion). At least on me, Victoria lasts much longer and smells more like a creamy lemon and vanilla cake. It is perfect alone or for layering with other fragrances (with Devotion it's amazing). However, it does need some maturation time. That first month it will smell a little harsh, but after the fragrance matures, it is delicious.Please remember that many of the Arabic perfumes are mass produced and sometimes the fragrance needs time to settle and properly bond molecularly. When you get them, atomize them several times and store them in a drawer or a dark place that isn't too humid or hot. For a week to a month, the scent should improve a lot.

I am really loving this fragrance ! I almost didn’t get it because some were saying it smells like empire victor. It DOESNT !I have empire , and it never really became a “ love “ for me. I actually have to layer it just so I can use it…. Victoria though! It’s scrumptious! It stays on for hours and hours on me ! I’m SO glad I picked it up!

Delicioso aroma y su presentación es muy linda

Lattafa perfumes almost always get better with age and this is purely a first impression.First impression, a beautiful lemon cake-vanilla, but NOT so gourmand that it is sickly sweet.I’ve smelled Devotion many times because based on the notes I SHOULD love it but there is something extremely sharp and unpleasant in devotion that keeps me from purchasing.Victoria does NOT have the sharpness or the unpleasant note that is in devotion and at a price that is easily HALF of what a small bottle of Devotion costs this is a no brainer.I would use this over Devotion every time.I think this is a relatively safe blind buy as well.

I don’t like it at all. At the beginning you can smell the lemon pie but then is horrible. Smells like some old cheap super sweet perfume. It is disappointing

Me encantó es un perfume que lo usaría da día, su olor es pie de limón, el neroli y con base de vainilla y atalcado. Es un perfume que llama mucho la atención! Y aclaro no soy mucho de los perfumes dulces pero este me gustó mucho. Lo volvería a comprar

Smells amazing, lasts for quite awhile, especially given that it's a citrus perfume. Many Lattafa fragrances need to sit awhile in order to smell like they should, perhaps this one will get better with time but it is great fresh out of the bottle as well. It's supposed to be a dupe for Devotion by D&G though I can't attest to this since I've never sampled Devotion.The bottle is heafty and feels ceramic. The opening is lemony vanilla sweetness. The lemon dies down after awhile, but stays softly present, letting the powdery vanilla take over. I think it's worth the $40 ($45 when I purchased, though the price keeps dropping). There is a synthetic quality some describe as "lemon cleaner" I don't pick up on it to that extent. I would compare the smell to artificial lemon, think lemon extract over a fresh lemon zest dessert. There's a bit of sinus sharpness to it, I've heard this is common to the house of Lattafa as well. It isn't noticeable enough to stop me from wearing this, but those who have a sensitivity to fragrance may find it cloying or irritating. I like to layer this for a more complex scent, since all and all it is a very simple scent that doesn't evolve much through the day. I pair it with Giorgio Armani's Because it's You, which also has neroli, as well as rose and raspberry, which I find elevate the lemon vanilla of Victoria.
