Lattafa TERIAQ EDP 100ml

is noted for its niche-like quality at an affordable price point, with elegant packaging that enhances its appeal as a gift.

Performance:
- Longevity: 5-8 hours on skin, with strong staying power on clothes (up to days).
- Projection: Light to moderate, creating a noticeable but non-intrusive scent trail.
- Sillage: Moderate, ideal for intimate settings.

User Impressions:
- Fans praise its complex, non-linear development and high-quality blend, comparing it to niche fragrances costing much more. The apricot and caramel notes are highlighted as standout features, with the leather described as soft and powdery rather than harsh.
- Some users find the opening slightly unusual or sharp, likening it to savory notes like soy sauce or broth due to the rhubarb and spice, but note it settles into a sweet, caramel-rich gourmand.
- Critics mention it may not suit those who dislike sweet or gourmand scents, and a few report it smells too heavy or incense-like initially.

Notable Comparisons:
- While some draw parallels to Jean Paul Gaultîer’s La Belle due to shared perfumer Quentin Bisch and sweet notes, Teriaq is considered more sophisticated and less sugary, with a unique leather and rhubarb twist.
- It’s also distinguished from Lattafa’s Khamrah, lacking the latter’s boozy warmth, and is not a dupe of any Western fragrance, standing as an original composition.

Recommendation:
Lattafa Teriaq EDP is ideal for those who enjoy sweet, gourmand fragrances with a touch of oriental flair and are seeking an affordable yet high-quality scent. Apply 2-3 sprays on pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) for optimal performance.
