Lattafa Safeer — front-facing product bottle

Lattafa

Safeer

Inspired alternative

Safeer shares Oud for Happiness's ginger-and-citrus start, with pepper adding bite. Caramel and heliotrope give its heart a different sweetness from the original's liquorice. Vanilla and musk connect the finishes, while cypriol and guaiac wood add an earthy, woody accent.
