Manel | Dubai Perfumes – Artisan Ethinque Gift Set (Lattafa

Here’s a detailed overview of the gift set Lattafa “Artisan Ethnique Gift Set” from the Pride collection — what it includes, what the scent profile is like, how to wear it, and some tips relevant if you’re in Windhoek, Namibia.

🎁 What’s Included

According to the official and retailer descriptions, the gift set typically includes:

A full-sized Eau de Parfum (100 ml) of Artisan Ethnique.

A mini/travel size (20 ml or 30 ml depending on region) of the same fragrance.

A body spray/deodorant (200 ml) for layering the same scent.

Some sets list it as a 3-piece “layering system” (EDP + mini + body/deo) designed to boost the scent experience.

So it’s more than just the fragrance bottle — it gives you formats to layer and carry the scent in different settings.

📝 Scent Profile & Notes

Here’s how Artisan Ethnique is described in terms of smell and composition:

Top Notes: Rum, Cinnamon, Sugar.

Heart / Middle Notes: Caramel, Coffee, Cacao (Cocoa), Oakmoss.

Base Notes: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Cashmere Wood (or Cashmere), Labdanum.

Character:

The opening is described as “boozy sweet” from the rum + sugar + cinnamon.

The heart adds depth with cocoa, coffee and caramel — rich gourmand territory.

The base brings warmth and woods/resin with vanilla, tonka, labdanum and cashmere wood.

Some reviewers say it gives “sugared donut” or “rum cake” vibes.

So overall: a rich, gourmand fragrance leaning sweet and warm with spicy and boozy touches.

🎯 Suitability — When & How to Wear, Especially in Namibia

Occasions:

Because of its gourmand, boozy and warm nature, this is great for evening wear, cooler weather, nights out, special occasions.

Also works if you enjoy strong/sweet scents for day time but it’ll be more noticeable.

Season/Climate (Windhoek/Namibia):

In warm climates: The opening rum+sugar may show nicely, but you’ll want to be mindful of how rich the base becomes in heat.

Daytime in strong sun: Might feel heavy or get too sweet for comfort; fewer sprays recommended.

Cooler evenings or indoor air-conditioned spaces: Great, as the richness can be fully appreciated.

Because of the layering set (body spray + EDP + travel) you can adapt how you use it: light layering for day, fuller layering for evening.

Application Tips:

Day: 1-2 sprays might suffice; apply to skin and maybe one light mist on clothes if you want more presence.

Evening: Use the body spray on clothes/hair + EDP on pulse points to boost projection/trail.

If layering, apply body spray first (foundation) then EDP, then mini for refresh mid-day if you carry it.

If you’re in warmer/humid weather, wait 5-10 minutes after spraying and assess whether you want a top-up or lighten it down.

🔍 Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a fragrance set that gives you a complete experience of a rich boozy/spicy/gourmand scent — the Artisan Ethnique Gift Set from Lattafa Pride is a strong candidate. For your location in Windhoek: it’s likely to shine in cooler parts of the day or evening, and you can manage how intense it is by using the formats smartly.
