The short answer to how to choose a Lattafa perfume: choose the scent style first, then who it is for, then the season, then the size, then check it is genuine. Doing it in that order avoids most disappointing blind buys.

Lattafa’s range is large, so a clear method helps. Follow these steps if you want to learn how to choose a Lattafa perfume with confidence.

Step 1: choose a scent family

Start with what you already like. Use the family that matches, then browse.

Fragrantica‘s perfume groups offer an independent reference on scent families.

Our page on Lattafa perfumes by note goes deeper on notes.

Step 2: think about who it is for

Gender labels describe marketing rather than rules. See the guides for men, women and unisex wearers, or begin with the beginners’ guide.

Step 3: consider season and occasion

Warm, sweet and resinous scents generally feel more natural in cool weather and evenings. Fresh, fruity or aquatic scents generally suit warm days. That is a rule of thumb, not a rule.

Step 4: check the size

Most fragrances here are 100ml, but not all. For example, Ana Abiyedh and Ajwad Pink to Pink are 60ml, and Qaed Al Fursan is 90ml. Check the size listed on the product page.

Step 5: read the notes, and the fine print

• Read the listed top, heart and base notes.
• Check exactly which variant you are buying. Names such as Khamrah, Yara and Asad each cover several different fragrances.
• Check whether it is eau de parfum or extrait de parfum.

Step 6: make sure it is genuine

Buy from a reputable stockist and check packaging. Our authentication guide explains the checks. At Arabic Perfumery, fragrances arrive sealed in original packaging.

Step 7: know the delivery and returns policy

UK delivery is free and tracked with no minimum spend, and we aim to dispatch within 1–2 business days (see shipping and delivery). We also offer 14-day returns on unopened, sealed items (see returns and refunds).
