Ekhtiari

Ekhtiari by Lattafa Perfumes, released in 2019, is a sweet fruity floral. Gourmand is the accord every wearer names; about half also find it floral, and a minority describe musky and citrus sides. It is soft, warm and approachable.

The notes are listed as a group. Mandarin orange gives a bright, sweet citrus opening, with fruits and fruity notes adding a juicy, slightly candied sweetness. The heart is a white floral pairing of jasmine and gardenia, creamy and a little heady, which gives the fragrance its floral side. The base is where the gourmand reading comes from: vanilla and tonka bean bring a warm, creamy, almond-like sweetness, and musk gives a soft, clean, skin-close finish.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. The sweetness suits autumn and winter evenings and cool days, though the mandarin keeps it wearable in spring. Ekhtiari will appeal to people who like comforting, sweet florals with vanilla and do not need a complicated structure.
