Lattafa Afeef: Ripe Peach, Creamy White Flowers and a Warm Praline Finish
Most of the Lattafa bottles people ask us about come with a designer name attached. Afeef doesn’t, and that is part of its appeal. It opens on ripe, slightly syrupy peach sharpened with a pinch of pink pepper and lifted by bergamot, then moves into a creamy white-floral heart built on tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom. After a few hours the florals give way to a warm base of praline, amber, sandalwood and patchouli, and that is where it spends the rest of the day. Afeef launched in 2024 and Lattafa lists it for women and men. The name, عفيف, translates roughly as “pure” or “virtuous”, which suits a scent that is polished rather than loud. You can browse the rest of the house in our Lattafa perfumes collection.
The Scent Profile
Top — peach, pink pepper, bergamot. Peach sets the mood straight away. It is juicy and a little jammy rather than crisp, the kind of peach note that reads sweet before it reads fresh. Bergamot keeps the opening from feeling heavy, and pink pepper adds a light, dry prickle over the fruit. Some people find the pepper sharp for the first few minutes, but it settles quickly.
Heart — orange blossom, tuberose, jasmine. This is where Afeef becomes a proper white floral. Tuberose gives the heart its creamy weight, jasmine adds a rounded, slightly heady richness, and orange blossom brings a soft, sunny sweetness that links back to the peach. Fragrantica’s accord chart puts white floral at the top of the list, ahead of sweet and woody, and that matches how the heart reads: lush, but smooth rather than shouty.
Base — praline, amber, sandalwood, patchouli. The drydown turns warm and sweet-woody. Praline and amber give a caramel-edged sweetness, sandalwood makes it creamy, and patchouli adds an earthy depth underneath. Patchouli is the note that divides people here. If you enjoy it, the base feels cosy and grown-up; if you don’t, it can read heavier than the bright opening suggests.
How Afeef Compares — the Honest Version
There is no credible dupe claim for Afeef, and we’re not going to invent one. Lattafa doesn’t name an inspiration on its own product page, and the comparisons Fragrantica reviewers offer are scattered rather than consistent. One or two mention Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village, a couple mention Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, and others name completely different scents. When reviewers can’t agree on a reference, that usually means the fragrance is doing its own thing. Treat Afeef as an original peach-and-tuberose composition.
Lattafa is an independent perfume house based in the UAE, with no affiliation to, licence from or endorsement by Bond No. 9, Chanel or any other brand named on this page.
Lattafa Afeef Performance & When To Wear
We would rather be straight with you than publish hours we can’t support. Afeef is a 2024 release, and Fragrantica’s community hasn’t yet built a clear longevity and sillage consensus for it, so the bars above are qualitative and driven by the composition: a white-floral heart that tends to project early, and an amber-sandalwood-patchouli base that usually holds on well, especially on fabric. If you want exact hours, check the live Fragrantica page before you buy.
Afeef works best from spring through autumn. It is easy enough for daytime, and the praline-amber base gives it enough warmth for an evening out. In real summer heat the sweetness can build, so go lighter on hot days. Two or three sprays is sensible, because the base becomes heavy when over-applied.
Who It’s For
Afeef suits anyone who likes creamy white florals but wants something softer and fruitier than a classic tuberose. The peach makes it approachable and the base gives it substance. Lattafa lists it as unisex. The florals lean feminine, but the sandalwood and patchouli make it wearable for anyone who enjoys a sweet floral. It’s probably not for you if you dislike patchouli or want a clean, fresh scent. It also isn’t a copy of a designer fragrance, so skip it if that’s what you’re looking for.
How It Compares With the Other Houses We Stock
If the peach is what draws you in, Khadlaj Peach Velvet (£24.99) is the closest relative on our shelves. Both open on juicy peach, but Peach Velvet adds nectarine and guava and then heads towards vanilla, cinnamon and caramel, so it becomes a dessert. Afeef takes the peach into white flowers and a drier sandalwood-patchouli base instead. Choose Peach Velvet if you want a gourmand, and Afeef if you want a floral.
If the white flowers are the main draw, Khadlaj Nafais Sharq (£29.99) is the other one to try. It pairs creamy gardenia with apricot and pear over bourbon vanilla, musk and amber. It is smoother and more lotion-like than Afeef, with no pepper up top and no patchouli underneath.
Loved Afeef? Here’s Where to Go Next
For more tuberose and vanilla, Lattafa Her Confession (£29.99) shares the creamy white flower but adds incense, so it’s smokier and better for autumn evenings than Afeef’s peachy brightness. Lattafa Fakhar Rose Gold (£17.99) keeps tuberose with jasmine and vanilla and drops the fruit, a purer white floral for daytime. If it’s the praline finish you enjoy, Lattafa Khamrah (£22.99) pairs praline with cinnamon and dates. It’s a warm winter gourmand with no florals at all. See the full line-up in our Lattafa perfumes collection.
Price, Size & What You Get
At £24.99, down from £49.99, you get the full 100ml bottle for roughly 25p per millilitre. It comes in the ornate gold-toned Lattafa presentation, so it also makes an easy gift.

Lattafa Afeef FAQs
What does Lattafa Afeef smell like?
Ripe peach and a little pink pepper over creamy white flowers (tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom), settling into a warm, sweet base of praline, amber, sandalwood and patchouli. Think of a peaches-and-cream floral with a woody finish.
What are the full Afeef notes?
Top: peach, pink pepper, bergamot. Heart: orange blossom, tuberose, jasmine. Base: praline, amber, sandalwood, patchouli. Fragrantica and Lattafa’s own site list the same ten notes.
Is Lattafa Afeef a dupe of a designer perfume?
No. Lattafa doesn’t name an inspiration, and Fragrantica reviewers’ comparisons point in lots of different directions, including Greenwich Village and Coco Mademoiselle, without any consensus. It’s best treated as an original. Lattafa has no affiliation with any brand mentioned.
How long does Afeef last?
Fragrantica doesn’t yet have a clear longevity consensus for Afeef, so we won’t quote hours. The amber, sandalwood and patchouli base is the long-lasting part of the composition and tends to hold best on clothing.
Is Afeef for men or women?
Lattafa and Fragrantica both list it for women and men. The white florals lean feminine and the woody base keeps it wearable for anyone who likes sweet florals.
How much is Lattafa Afeef in the UK?
£24.99 for 100ml at Khaleej Scents, reduced from £49.99, with free UK delivery and no minimum spend.
Is Afeef too sweet?
It’s sweet, but floral first and sweet second, because the praline sits in the base rather than leading. The bigger question is patchouli: if earthy bases bother you, try it on skin before committing.
Notes verified against Fragrantica and lattafa.com in September 2026. The two sources list an identical pyramid. The launch year is taken from Fragrantica; no perfumer is credited there. Designer names come from individual Fragrantica reviews and are not a manufacturer claim. We could not retrieve Fragrantica’s longevity and sillage vote breakdown for Afeef, so the performance section describes the composition rather than quoting figures.
