Lattafa Perfumes

Ansaam Gold

2022

“Pear and raspberry over musky vanilla, doing the Oriana trick cheaply. Give it a fortnight to settle and it sings.”

Ansaam Gold
sweet
fruity
citrus

Raspberry and pear define Lattafa's 2022 Ansaam Gold, a fruity gourmand floral widely compared to Parfums de Marly Oriana (2021), with a rose heart and a vanilla base. Sweet accords lead by a wide margin, with fruity and citrus facets. The fruit reads jammy rather than tart, with the florals softening the sweetness in the drydown. Versatile across seasons, leaning daytime.
