Our Verdict

Artisan Ethnique by Lattafa and Sugar Addict by BORNTOSTANDOUT cater to sweet fragrance aficionados but diverge in composition and appeal. Artisan Ethnique is a potent gourmand, notable for its divisive spice elements, making it a polarizing choice. Its strength demands a maceration period to mellow its intense profile. Sugar Addict, although lacking a full verdict, is identified as a dupe, suggesting it mirrors the sweetness but potentially offers a softer, more immediately wearable experience. If you crave boldness and love to be the center of attention, Artisan Ethnique is your go-to. Alternatively, if you prefer a fragrance that integrates sweetness without the overpowering spice, Sugar Addict might be the better fit.

Our Verdict - Sugar Addict EDP
Born to Stand Out's Sugar Addict is a boozy, caramelised sugar bomb that delivers exactly what it promises. It's an intoxicating gourmand for those who live for unapologetic sweetness, though some find it a bit too much or synthetic.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Artisan Ethnique EDP
This beast-mode gourmand is an absolute showstopper for some, a divisive spice bomb for others. Either way, it's potent, sweet, and probably needs a good maceration period to truly shine. Those who love it, really love it.
