Queen Latifah Queen by Queen Latifah is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Steve DeMercado. Queen by Queen Latifah opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Cognac, Rose, Jasmine, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Queen Latifah's Queen by Queen Latifah carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This discontinued gem is a boozy, vanilla-patchouli dream, consistently praised for smelling far more expensive than its original price tag. It's a celebrity fragrance that's truly queen-worthy, though it can be a bit much if oversprayed.

About

Queen opens with a surprising bright citrus kick before quickly melting into a rich, boozy vanilla heart, underpinned by warm cognac and a hint of spicy coriander. As it settles, a sophisticated blend of earthy patchouli, creamy sandalwood, and smoky incense emerges, creating a decadent, comforting, and subtly sweet dry-down with the lasting warmth of tonka bean.
