LattafaVictoria for Women Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce / 100 ml

I'm in love with this fragrance, it's exquisite. People say it's a dupe of Devotion; Personally, I think they are very similar, but it isn't a dupe (it doesn't have that orange blossom of Devotion). At least on me, Victoria lasts much longer and smells more like a creamy lemon and vanilla cake. It is perfect alone or for layering with other fragrances (with Devotion it's amazing). However, it does need some maturation time. That first month it will smell a little harsh, but after the fragrance matures, it is delicious.Please remember that many of the Arabic perfumes are mass produced and sometimes the fragrance needs time to settle and properly bond molecularly. When you get them, atomize them several times and store them in a drawer or a dark place that isn't too humid or hot. For a week to a month, the scent should improve a lot.

This fragrance is amazing! It is both citrus and floral - sweet, but not too sweet. It lasts all day and well into the night without being overwhelming or dominating a room. Starting with a sweet citrus note -- like it is described as a lemon meringue pie -- and then fading to soft floral neroli notes. My husband has scent sensitivities, and this fragrance does not bother him. He rather likes the fragrance on me. It is soft, feminine, and simply lovely and transitions perfectly from casual day to formal evening.

Smells amazing, lasts for quite awhile, especially given that it's a citrus perfume. Many Lattafa fragrances need to sit awhile in order to smell like they should, perhaps this one will get better with time but it is great fresh out of the bottle as well. It's supposed to be a dupe for Devotion by D&G though I can't attest to this since I've never sampled Devotion.The bottle is heafty and feels ceramic. The opening is lemony vanilla sweetness. The lemon dies down after awhile, but stays softly present, letting the powdery vanilla take over. I think it's worth the $40 ($45 when I purchased, though the price keeps dropping). There is a synthetic quality some describe as "lemon cleaner" I don't pick up on it to that extent. I would compare the smell to artificial lemon, think lemon extract over a fresh lemon zest dessert. There's a bit of sinus sharpness to it, I've heard this is common to the house of Lattafa as well. It isn't noticeable enough to stop me from wearing this, but those who have a sensitivity to fragrance may find it cloying or irritating. I like to layer this for a more complex scent, since all and all it is a very simple scent that doesn't evolve much through the day. I pair it with Giorgio Armani's Because it's You, which also has neroli, as well as rose and raspberry, which I find elevate the lemon vanilla of Victoria.

I was excited to get this, I opened it and sprayed it and the first thing I smelled was oranges and then as it started drying I smelled oranges mixed with tobacco and then when it was dry it smelled like a soft orange vanilla, I would have gave 5 stars if it actually smells as stated but none the less it still smells good after it dries, it does last a few hours, at about 4 hours I could still smell it a little bit but it wasn't strong enough for anyone else to smell it

So this has been macerating for about a month now and the fragrance is getting better and better. No I did buy this one and I just recently want to support to smell the devotion by dolce and Gabbana and it smells just like it so if you want a dupe, I would recommend this one. I’m so excited to see what it’s gonna smell like in the next few months. If you want me to give you a basic description of what it smells like it smells like a lemon cake so if you like lemon cake, I recommend this perfume and it does really good with vanilla. and it was package beautifully no damages or anything. I can’t really speak about the longevity of it yet since I’m still letting in macerate, but with layering it should last.

I really wanted to like this scent. It was all over the internet, and I allowed it to macerate as soon as I received it. Well here we are 3 months later, and I just don't like it. It smells cheap. After a while the lemon scent comes out like Pledge. Yes, like the furniture cleaner the one with a lemon scent. I just don't like it. I can't return it. I'll try and sell it online or just simply give it away. It smells like a cleaner...not elegant at all.

Needed a Devotion smell alike. Well, well Victoria is devoted. The bottle & packaging are beautiful & the juice is so dang good. This one comes outta the box ready to go. She will get better too & that excites me. This makes me feel soft, demure, and ladylike(I am neither) Lattafa did a great job with this one. I should be able to wear all year, but carefully on those humid 100 degree days. I fell in love with Devotion & I fell in love with Victoria. The price for the quality is fantastic. Victoria lingers around for a long time. So worth getting & a safe blind buy. This smells like the meringue from the top of lemon pie, sweet, fluffy, a lil creamy, soft vanilla with a hint of sweet lemon, not tart. She is just good!!!

Iced lemon cake in a bottle. This is so addictive to me. It’s a sweet gourmand fragrance with vanilla and citrus notes. I want to take a bite out of my hand it smells so good lol the packaging is just gorgeous too. Lasted a good 6/7 hours on me
