Lattafa Perfumes

Tharwah Gold

2022

“Libre Intense, louder and sweeter — lavender and vanilla for fall nights when you want to be noticed.”

Tharwah Gold
white floral
citrus
lavender

Lavender and orange blossom anchor Lattafa's 2022 Tharwah Gold, a white floral often compared to YSL Libre Intense (2020), with jasmine in the heart and a vanilla base. White-floral accords lead, with citrus, lavender and vanilla facets and an ambery warmth. The lavender gives the florals a cool, aromatic edge. Wears strongest in fall and winter, versatile day-to-night.
