No real alternative to Black Tie for me
I stumbled across this fragrance when I was looking for an alternative to Black Tie.
I already own a few Lattafa fragrances, including Liam Grey, which is really close to Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum, so I was curious to see if this fragrance would actually smell like Black Tie. I promptly bought a bottle from a dear perfumer (thank you!).
Ana Abiyedh Poudree smells, well, what can I say - quite good. But it didn't blow me away.
It is powdery sweet, but I can only detect a few of the notes listed in the fragrance pyramid.
For those of you who were hoping for a BT alternative, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. For me, the fragrance has almost nothing in common with Black Tie. I think I understand what some people mean when they say that the two fragrances have a similar aura, but even that I can only really agree with to a very limited extent. For me: apples and pears.
In my opinion, Lattafa makes quite good fragrances that are hard to beat in terms of price/performance. Therefore, this rating should not suffer from the fact that the benchmark was Black Tie of all things. At the same time, I am a little "underwhelmed".
