Which Should You Buy?
Velvet Rose by Lattafa is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a divisive opening that some find chemical or 'fizzy', but for many, it mellows into a surprisingly sophisticated and elegant rose-patchouli-amber blend. It's a statement, not a whisper.
Divisive yet utterly captivating, Zoologist's Civet is a bold amber animalic that sparks love-it-or-hate-it reactions. It's a throwback to classic perfumery, rich and unapologetic.
