Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New York the City of Dreams Eau de Parfum

Don't let the haters get to you- New York the City of Dreams surprises with a nuanced, grown-up cherry. It's a smooth, boozy, woody ride that punches above its weight, even if the cherry doesn't always steal the show. A solid Lattafa entry, despite the bottle.

Our Verdict - Que Chimba! Extrait

Que Chimba! is a divisive, unapologetically bold scent that some will adore and others will find unbearable. It's a loud, vibrant tropical party with an unexpected spicy kick - definitely not for the faint of heart, but addictive for those who connect with its wild energy.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its exceptional strength and prominent sillage make Que Chimba! too overwhelming for an office scenario. However, its bold, sensual, and playful character, combined with its tropical and spicy notes, makes it perfect for dates and evening casual wear, as noted by several reviewers. It's a bit too much for formal events, and certainly not suited for sport.
