Manel | Dubai Perfume – Eclaire Banoffi (Lattafa)

What Is It / Overview

Brand: Lattafa

Type: Eau de Parfum

Inspiration: The perfume is inspired by banoffee pie, a dessert made with banana, cream, and caramel.

Launch: According to Fragrantica, it’s a fairly recent release (2025).

Concentration: As EDP, it’s relatively concentrated, giving better lasting power compared to very light sprays.

Character:

Very gourmand — dessert-like and sweet.

Creamy and rich: banana + caramel + whipped cream + vanilla give a lush, plush dessert feel.

The base notes (praline, biscuit, musk) help anchor the sweetness and give some warmth and structure.

Performance (Longevity & Projection)

Longevity: According to Parfumo, users rate its longevity quite well — the average is good for a gourmand.

Sillage / Projection: Also decent — not overpowering, but enough to leave a sweet trail.

Use Cases / When to Wear It

Best for: Casual settings, evenings, or “fun” fragrance moments — especially when you want something playful and sweet.

Seasons: Cooler weather (autumn, winter) might highlight the rich, creamy notes. But if you love gourmands, you could use it in any season, perhaps sparingly in very hot weather.

Layering Ideas:

Layer with a soft musk or vanilla to make it last longer or smooth out very sweet moments.

Mix with a lighter fresh scent if you want to tone down its dessert-y vibe for daytime.

Overall Impression

Éclaire Banoffi is a gourmand dessert perfume in a bottle. It leans heavily into the “edible fantasy” of banoffee pie: banana cream, caramel (dulce de leche), whipped cream, vanilla, and a cozy, biscuity-musk base. For lovers of sweet, creamy, pastry-inspired scents, it’s a very fun and addictive fragrance. It’s not for everyone — particularly if you prefer subtle, natural, or less sweet perfumes — but it offers a lot of character and personality.
