Lattafa Perfumes

Blue Sapphire

EDP2022

“Eros's minty-apple charge, made for spring nights out with the volume up.”

Blue Sapphire
aromatic
green
fresh spicy

Mint and apple open Lattafa's 2022 Blue Sapphire, a fresh aromatic often compared to Versace Eros (2012), with clary sage in the heart over cedarwood. Aromatic accords lead, with green, fresh-spicy and marine facets. The mint and apple give a bright, sweet-green opening, while the cedarwood keeps the drydown dry and clean. Versatile across spring, summer and fall, firmly daytime.
