🔍 Scent profile & notes
Top notes
Orange blossom: a fresh, sweet white floral scent — bright and luminous.
Bergamot: adds a light citrus sparkle to the opening.
Black currant: gives a hint of juicy, slightly tart fruitiness.
Heart (middle)
Tuberose: a rich, creamy white floral; quite bold.
Marigold (or calendula): provides a golden-floral nuance, somewhat green-floral.
Jasmine: classic white floral, adds elegance.
Base
Vanilla: creamy, soft, comforting.
White musk: subtle animalic/clean base note, adds softness and diffusion.
Cedarwood & Patchouli: woody undertones that anchor the scent with depth and elegance.
Overall impression
The fragrance starts fresh and bright (citrus + fruit) → then shifts into richer white florals (tuberose/jasmine) → finishes warm and woody with vanilla + musk.
Many reviewers describe it as a “fresh white floral bouquet” with a modern finish.
On Fragrantica, some users note:
“Beautiful, sweet & fruity, floral fragrance… smells like white florals + citrus + vanilla.”
And:
“Emaan is definitely floral heavy… I would spray pretty light or it gives me a headache.”
📌 Performance & wearability
Longevity: Many users report 6-8 hours on skin; possibly longer on clothes.
Projection / Sillage: Moderate to somewhat strong initially (especially the white floral phase). Some say it projects well for a few hours then becomes closer to the skin.
Example: > “First spray is intense… then it dries down nicely.”
Versatility: From descriptions, it works for daytime or evening, spring through autumn, possibly even winter if you like rich florals.
Gender appeal: While marketed as feminine, many say it can work unisex if you like florals. But the floral tuberose/jasmine heart leans strongly feminine in many opinions.
Occasion: Elegant enough for “grown-up” wear; not ultra-loud beast mode, but certainly noticeable and refined.
🎯 Who it’s good for
If you enjoy white floral perfumes (tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom) and want something modern yet elegant.
If you like fragrance profiles that start fresh and clean but end warm and slightly sweet — vanilla + woods.
If you appreciate good value: Lattafa is known for delivering strong performance at more accessible price points compared to some luxury brands.
If you want something that transitions well from day to evening and across seasons (except maybe peak hot summer outdoors if you prefer super light scents).
