Let this one macerate (?) for a month or more. I immediately sprayed it on myself after receiving it and I was so close to being appalled ! It initially smelled like rotten milk with coconut. So I set it aside and crossed my fingers it will get better AND it did ! I purchased this in June or July and by October, I was getting compliments here and there.The scent is very gourmand-dessert! Sweet and addicting. The vanilla is strong and it stays strong all day. The scent remains on my clothes until they get washed. What an amazing price for such a fantastic performance!
Lattafa Eclaire is an elegant gourmand fragrance that feels like a warm, cozy dessert wrapped in soft florals. From the very first spray, a wave of creamy vanilla and buttery caramel fills the air — rich, sweet, and instantly comforting. It has that addictive warmth often found in niche gourmands, but with a smoothness that keeps it from becoming cloying.As it settles, a delicate floral heart emerges — think white petals lightly dusted with sugar — adding a refined, feminine softness that balances the sweetness. The dry-down is pure comfort: silky vanilla, tonka, and soft musk, creating a creamy, long-lasting finish that lingers beautifully on skin and clothing.Performance: Excellent for the price. Eclaire projects moderately in the first few hours, then settles into a cozy scent bubble that lasts 6–8 hours or more.Best For: Cooler weather, evening wear, or anytime you want to feel warm, elegant, and a little indulgent.Overall Impression:Lattafa Eclaire is a beautifully blended sweet floral gourmand — sophisticated yet playful. If you love perfumes like Kayali Vanilla 28 or Parfums de Marly Oriana, this is a budget-friendly gem that delivers a similar vibe with its own charm.⭐ Rating: 9/10Pros: Luxurious sweetness, excellent longevity, great value.Cons: Might be too sweet for summer or those who prefer fresher scents.
EDIT: Gave it an extra star. You really just have to have patience and let the scent sit for an hour or 2 honestly. The alcohol scent went away and now it smells a pleasant sweet! SHOCKING. And now it smells like a smore that has baby powder on it. It’s vanilla and musky sort of, which I’m fine with. Definitely a fancy occasion perfume and not a daily one in my opinion. Super yummy, I pair it with Sol De Janeiro 62, I think both sweetnesses really compliment each other well! But ya, love-hate relationship with this perfume!First Thought, it used to be 3 stars:It sucks. I was influenced by tik tok and whatnot to buy this perfume because it was a nice vanilla scent but man just from the first sprays it’s so hmmm potent. The scent could switch I swear! I can smell this yummy dessert smore scent, it’s like camp fire marshmallows it’s so good. Then it can be just rubbing alcohol. THEN it can smell great on cardboard or smell like the dentist on my hand 😭 it’s so hard to pinpoint whether or not I like this scent. And it kind of discourages me from wearing it in public, because what if others say I smell weird? I’m not sure. I hear you should macerate it, which is let it sit in a dark place to let the ingredients in the perfume mature but that seems like I’m trying too hard to like this. Overall, it lasts a long time, like a day plus. It’s strong and sweet and alcohol like. 5/10
Delicious gourmand scent! I love smelling like a vanilla cookie for my man. I get complimented on this any time I wear it. I’ve been wearing the same perfume for 25 years and decided I wanted to switch it up- and I’m glad I did. I layer this with my EOS vanilla cashmere lotion and it lasts longer.It’s not overly strong or cloyingly sweet - it’s just right. Very wearable; projection is great, it does t irritate my sensitive skin- or give me a headache.I read that many people had to let theirs sit for a month or few weeks before using but I did not have this issue. It was usable right after purchasing. I smell clean and fresh like walking into a bakery. The bottle is super cute! The price point is also great. Highly recommend
Other than the bottle has scratches on it, the perfume is amazing. I bought it without testing it first and was worried it wouldn’t be what I thought. When I first unboxed it there was a very slight chemical scent but the little get I have it, it’s pretty much gone. I get compliments all the time. It’s sweet without being too sweet. Lasts for several hours. Great fall/winter scent.
