Lattafa Opulent Musk EDP - 100ml

I received my order of Opulent Musk a day early, in perfect condition 😊. The packaging and the perfume bottle were gorgeous. It was a blind buy but came highly recommended by one of my favorite YT fragrance reviewers.When I unboxed and sprayed it, I was surprised by the prominent notes of fresh fir and cedarwood resins. It definitely was quite woody. Thankfully, I detected no gasoline-like smell. I didn’t instantly love it but I liked it a lot because it smelled fresh and invigorating while being different from what I usually like.My first impression was that of a somewhat sweet smelling fir Christmas tree. The scent was pretty intense, possibly because I am an oversprayer. I put it back in the box and let it rest a few days. Now every time I try it, I like it ... MoreI received my order of Opulent Musk a day early, in perfect condition 😊. The packaging and the perfume bottle were gorgeous.

The scent was pretty intense, possibly because I am an oversprayer. I put it back in the box and let it rest a few days. Now every time I try it, I like it more and I only spray it a couple of times. It’s a definite “no no†for my work but a great fresh scent to enjoy at home and on my nature walks.I tried layering it with some jasmine attar to emphasize the floral and diminish the woody notes. It worked well all the way down to the dry down.I can see how this can be a “love it or hate it at first sniff†fragrance. If you buy it and dislike it, give it some time, let your olfactory sense develop appreciation for a wider range of fragrance compositions.I don’t recommend it as a safe blind buy because of its strong and unusual fragrance. Some will enjoy it and some will not. It would be best to get a small sample first and then make a decision. That being said, for the price, Opulent Musk is a great purchase, a very good and interesting perfume, and definitely worth a try.

Received this order way faster than I expected to. The packaging was pretty and the bottle itself would be a lovely piece to add to your perfume collection if the visual aspect is what you're looking for. If its the fragrance, it was a hard pass for me. For those people who have visited and spent any time in European clubs and bars and recall the smell of cigarettes and body odor, you'll recognize this scent. Awful. What I wanted was a musky fragrance...What I got is a musty scent - reminiscent of unwashed bodies and cigarettes. After the one and only spray, I knew immediately this was not the scent for me. Unfortunately, there's a bunch of longevity that goes along with this fragrance. It lingered in my nostrils far longer than I would have liked and stayed on my ... MoreReceived this order way faster than I expected to.

Unfortunately, there's a bunch of longevity that goes along with this fragrance. It lingered in my nostrils far longer than I would have liked and stayed on my arm after my evening shower, my morning shower and unless I'm suffering from phantom smells, 24 hours later I feel like I still smell it on my arm. I would not recommend this fragrance and would definitely not do a blind buy.

My husband thought it had an alcohol scent my daughter said it smelled like hot tar. I smell a little sweet with musk, I wish it was nicer but it’s not, it’s ok I guess. I was hoping it was nicer. I think the notes they describe are so different than what you actually get. Packaging is great and the bottle is heavy and pretty. I’m thinking maybe if I mix it with something else. But no alone.
