Nasheet by Lattafa Perfumes

If you like sweet scents, this is a hit. Several people told me it smells like Bimbo buttery cakes when dry, not a compliment, but it hits the spot. In short, a perfect sweet for temperate or cold climates.

The wood, nutmeg, and incense make it strong at first, but after two hours, it disappeared from my arm with just three sprays. It feels like it’s sticking to the skin. I don’t care if it’s linear or not, I don’t know what people say about similar ones, but the projection is soft for half an hour and then it fades to skin and dies quickly. Price in Chile: $14.

Terrible disappointment. I don’t know how Ani smells, but this smells like Bentley for Man Intense with much worse quality. I doubt anyone can tell the difference, honestly. I don’t get the hype for this fragrance.

If they’re made as they say, use it in fresh climates and preferably after maceration. I sprayed it straight out of the package at 32 degrees, a fatal mistake, I judged it poorly, suffocating and heavy, gave me a terrible headache. Today, after three months of maceration in cool and temperate weather, it’s completely different, more bearable, you notice the woods and spices at first, then it dries down and leaves that sweet, pleasant vanilla, crazy, definitely a winter jewel.

They offered me a sample and I tried it, it seems very linear, doesn’t evolve, and I smell it as soapy, although it doesn’t have a lemon note.

Nasheet is linear, but it shares the heart and dry-down of Ani, evolving from citrus notes at the start—something Nasheet doesn’t do. They’re very similar (I tested them side by side), except Lattafa hits you with the Ani scent all at once and keeps it going until it fades. Decent performance and great value; this is a way to experience the original Nishane, which is much more expensive. A good alternative to Fragrance World, which many claim is an exact copy of Ani; it seems they haven’t smelled it properly because it smells like Ani but is darker, drifting away from Ani’s luminous, vanilla dry-down. This Lattafa inspiration is closer to Nishane and even outperforms Spectre Ghost. Cheers.

Nasheet is linear and shares Ani’s heart and drydown, but unlike Ani, which evolves from a citrus opening, Nasheet maintains its essence from the first spray until it fades. It’s very similar except for that opening; for a low price, it lets you experience the original Nishane, which is much more expensive. It’s a good alternative to Fragrance World, which many claim is an exact copy; it seems they haven’t smelled Nishane well, because Nasheet smells like Ani but is darker, moving away from Ani’s vanilla and luminous drydown. This Lattafa inspiration is closer to Nishane and even performs better than Spectre Ghost.

I let it macerate for several months, and although the opening still has that nasty metallic smell, once it dries it becomes quite rich: a sweet, sugary scent accompanied by woods and that feeling of lemon cream cake.

Lattafa Nasheet was a blind buy, and I have no regrets: the opening is spicy and citrusy, but tasteful and not alcohol-heavy. During the first hour, I feel it evolve to give way to a very high-quality vanilla that reminds me of a lemon tart about to be bitten into, sensing the aroma of the cream without browning, with the lemon and vanilla pastry underneath. Rich scent, moderate projection, and high longevity; I bought it three months ago, and it’s getting better with time.

I bought the 100ml for 23€. It’s a sweet scent with a very noticeable incense and totally unisex. It’s well-balanced, but I don’t think it’s for everyone, as the opening comes off as a medicinal smell. Yes, it’s quite rare, but it smells very good. As for longevity and projection, I’d say they are moderate, but I’ll let it sit for a few months to see if it improves. It’s quite linear, the same scent from start to finish, and in the drydown it resembles Bentley For Men. At the price of 20-25€, it’s good, but for cold climates.

It seemed to me to be a weak, sugary vanilla perfume, very weak; so much so that you have to bring your nose close to the clothes to smell it from the start. It shares the amber touch in the Eternal Oud line, but it’s faint, weak, and somewhat like ‘Wafa’, which it doesn’t even come close to shadowing. It’s true that Wafa doesn’t feel as vanilla, but if you have to spend money on something good, with staying power and a blind buy that everyone likes: Wafa, without a doubt (it has no reviews on Fragrantica but is on YouTube and is supposed to be a dupe or in the style of Kyllian’s Black Phantom). Anyway, I’ll wait a couple of months for this Nasheet to mature or macerate, as the forums say, since some Arabic perfumes have already been discounted, reformulated, or lack proper maceration.

Beautiful bottle, beautiful perfume, it has a wonderful opening but it’s not lasting (depends on the person; in my case, it’s not), but in what it lasts… WOOW!

What an exquisite fragrance! My first Lattafa, smells like sweet vanilla and nutmeg. It’s ultra similar to the Nishane Ani I tried firsthand. The comments about poor longevity seem odd to me; my wife wears it and I can easily smell it projecting for 8 hours. Highly recommended.

Definitely haven’t grown on me yet. It smells like vanilla custard stuffed into an old, damp wooden chest. It’s one of those perfumes where it’s more pleasant to smell the trail than to be the suffering wearer.

I bought Lattafa Nasheet blindly and have no regrets. The opening is spicy and citrusy with no alcohol burn. Within the first hour, I notice it moving toward a high-quality vanilla that reminds me of a lemon tartlet ready to eat: the aroma of unbaked custard with lemon and vanilla-infused pastry underneath. Rich scent, moderate projection, and high longevity. I’ve had it for three months and it improves with time.
