LattafaMaison Alhambra Athena for Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce

I honestly never write a review but THIS perfume is worth the praise and effort. The price for the size of the bottle was such a pleasant surprise. I’ll admit when I first applied it, I was underwhelmed as if I’d smelled the scent before but once it sat and warmed up on my skin for about 20 min, my mind completely changed about my initial doubts. I’m no expert about fragrance notes but it is such a sweet, warm, feminine, sexy, without being overpowering scent. The vaporizer releases softly and the longevity lasts about 6 hrs for me. I’ll spray some on my skin and I can still smell the aroma of it on my clothes the next day. I’m honestly here for it and I’ll definitely be purchasing another bottle.

UPDATE: It has now been 23 days of maturing - not that long for a Lattafa scent - and this is DIVINE. I just now ordered another bottle to let it macerate for months while I use this one up. I cannot even describe how far this has come. This started as probably the only Lattafa that I worried about. Now it's one of my favorite daytime go-to scents.When I pair this with anything with toffee or chocolate (think Creamy Biscuit), I can actually use the description "divine". It makes me want to keep sniffing my own arm and wrists!This isn't my favorite Lattafa scent (at least not yet), but it's nice. It's more subtle than any of the other 8 or 9 that I have. It's a soft and office-friendly (or school, crowds, etc.) scent. Right now, I'd give her 4.5 stars.It's a citrus-leaning, powder type of scent with VERY soft florals. The vanilla comes out more on the dry down. Thankfully, I don't get a lot of spice, which would be too strong in something this soft overall.I say it's not yet one of my faves but, honestly, Lattafa scents need time to come to bloom LOL. This might be something different after a few weeks. Right now, it is a go-to for when I have to be in crowded spaces. It's so soft and safe.Not a bad blind buy because of the price and the general notes - powdery-citrus-floral.The bottle is one of the more subtle of Lattafas. It's subtle and has a pretty faux marble top that I really like.

Most of the reviews are spot on, when you first spray and sniff quickly it does smell like old grandma perfume, but seconds later after it has dried on the skin, the scent is very warm vanilla and seductive it's a mature scent it's not fruity or sweet, it's vanilla, auburn, it stays for hours one spray can smell a room. The packaging is beautiful it makes me feel like a Goddess

Very pretty fragrance, sweet, similar to B. Goddess. I am giving only four stars because it need to macerate for a while to have some projection, right now it a very skin level perfume. The packaging is beautiful, very high quality bottle.

I am a blind buying perfume junky! This was a Fabulous blind buy! I read a lot of the reviews and decided to try it. Everyone says it’s a dupe for Goddess. I don’t have a clue what Goddess smells like but if it smells like this perfume it smells gorgeous! It’s soft, powdery amber like…. Just Beautiful! Great price, projection, and just plain beautiful! I’m buying a 2nd bottle as a backup in case they stop selling this one!

I bought this because I heard it was a dupe for Burberry Goddess. When I sprayed it, I thought it was awful and I had made a mistake. All I could smell was topnotes of unidentifiable aldehydes, like something I had smelled in an antique bottle from my grandmother's mirrored perfume tray. I set it aside and forgot about it. The next day I pulled my robe from the hook to put it in the laundry and I smelled this perfume I'd gotten on it. It was the exact smell of Goddess, the lavender, the vanilla! It had dried down to everything I wanted and was projecting that scent the next day!This one screeches from the bottle like a mythological harpy that will claw your eyes out. But if you can wait, it settles to something soft and absolutely beautiful. I am pleased with this fragrance!

This is a truly beautiful fragrance. I have this and Angham, and Angham is a little deeper, a little sweeter while this is like the spring/summer version - a little fresher and brighter but with great sillage and performance. Expect to be stopped and asked what you’re wearing. Honestly for this price point, it’s not even worth buying the original Burberry Goddess. This is equally as beautiful and for the price, you can spray to your heart’s content!

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this one. I have never smelled the one people are comparing it to, so this blind buy took me by surprise. It's a soft but bold, grown, sophisticated woman scent, like this would be good anytime, but it's like an office woman kind of vibe, like she got everything put together kind of perfume I love it. The best part is that it's under 20 dollars, and it's a very nice big bottle, can't beat that definitely a repurchase for me.
