Sakeena by Lattafa Perfumes

Many people say it smells like rotten fruit, but I see it as tart red berries with a gaseous, almost ozonic or gasoline edge… it sounds ominous, but I absolutely love it. It’s not for everyone and I wouldn’t recommend it blindly; it’s truly unique. It lasts longer than other Arab perfumes, with a moderate sillage.

I own it and it’s just sitting in my perfume collection; it smells very synthetic and nothing like anything pleasant.

It smells extremely synthetic, way too much. That scent on my skin reminds me of the Odyssey Candy air freshener.

What a peculiar perfume! Smells like wine with fruits, as if passion fruit and raspberry have fermented. It didn’t disgust me, but I wouldn’t buy it. It’s very special, don’t buy it blindly.

Literally smells like wine with red fruits. Very original, but I wouldn’t buy it. The bottle is beautiful though.

Sakeena smells 80-85% like V Canto’s Stricnina, achieved very well with a cheerful aroma. Decent performance and a wonderful presentation. It’s sweet, fruity, and tropical; your family will love it. Although Stricnina is superior in several aspects, Sakeena wins on price, which is ten times lower. Give it a try; it’s a very good, fruity, and accessible option.

It smells like red wine, roses, and very tart raspberry. It’s not that youthful fruity perfume; it has a dark, sexy touch that I like, though I’d prefer it less acidic. I’ve had it for a year, and it has improved significantly with maceration, both in scent and longevity.

I trusted this perfume despite the bad reviews, and wow, they were right. It smells very synthetic, almost spicy. It’s potent, but in a way I don’t like.

Rich… different… but in the end it smells synthetic, low-quality, chemical. I don’t know if I’m explaining it well, but I don’t like how it finishes at the end of the notes.

What I like most is the opening: a passionfruit scent with ozonic notes (like a fresh breeze). It’s juicy, sweet, and tropical. Once the ozonic vibe fades, the passionfruit remains but gets overshadowed by lots of sweet raspberry and a touch of rose. I don’t detect the orange blossom, though I do get a slight salty note. After two hours on skin, it’s very sweet, dominated by raspberry and toffee. The trail is moderate and lasts 8-9 hours on skin, 5-6 on clothes. If the tropical opening stayed consistent, I’d include it for summer. Unfortunately, the dry-down isn’t special enough to justify buying the full bottle, though it depends on what you already own. Overall, a good fragrance for the price if you like raspberry and aren’t scared off by synthetic, overly sweet scents. I’d recommend testing it first.

The best part is the opening: passionfruit and ozonic notes that I identify as a fresh breeze, very pleasant and unique. It’s juicy, sweet, and tropical. Once the ozonic note fades, passionfruit takes over but is surpassed by lots of sweet raspberry and a touch of floral rose. I don’t perceive the bergamot, though I do sense a light salty aspect. After two hours on skin, it’s very sweet with raspberry and toffee. The trail is moderate and lasts 8-9 hours, dropping to skin-level after 5-6. If the tropical scent stayed more consistent, I’d include it for summer. The dry-down isn’t particularly unique enough to justify buying the full bottle; it depends on your collection. Overall, a good fragrance for the price if you love raspberry and aren’t scared off by synthetic, sweet scents. I’d recommend trying it first. Scent: 6/10, Longevity: 8.5/10, Trail: 7/10, Value: 8/10, Versatility: 7/10. Would I buy it again? No.

What a disappointment, it smells terrible and very artificial. At first, it was a synthetic fruity smell, like a sangria soda, that flooded the room until people asked if I’d sprayed insecticide. I couldn’t handle it, so I gave it away.

A fragrance that awakens the senses with its fruity sweetness. Since I tried it, I knew I had to own it. It started with raspberry and passionfruit, a juicy, sweet combination that invites you to get lost in it. The trail is impressive: strong and present for the first two hours, leaving a intoxicating trail. Although it fades later, it’s still noticeable for over ten hours, ideal for long days. I must admit it has an artificial touch, but it doesn’t diminish my love for it; you just need to keep that in mind if you prefer natural scents.

The presentation is a 10, it’s beautiful. I’ve received many compliments and people ask me what I’m wearing. It’s long-lasting, leaves a trail, and I find it sweet and fruity. I love it and would definitely buy it again.

The bottle is gorgeous and the longevity is top-notch. It leaves a pleasant trail without being overpowering. It opens fruity, and as it dries down, it becomes a rose wrapped in chocolate—powerful and sweet, yet not cloying. I don’t see this for daytime or summer; it’s feminine, enveloping, and has character, ideal for people aged 25 to 35. If you want to stand out by being different, this is yours.
