Lahdath

Scent Breakdown

Lahdath opens with a candied lemon fizz; a sparkling water note keeps it buoyant. It’s a far cry from the weighty, jammy rose of Roses Vanille. The rose emerges quickly, coated in spun sugar. It's pretty, undeniably, but lacking the depth and almost boozy character of the Mancera. The dry down is where Lahdath shines. A cloud of vanilla and clean musk softens the sugary edges. It's not a carbon copy, maybe 87% there. The lemon is amped up, the rose a touch simpler, but the vanilla base provides a comforting, sweet warmth.

Is it Worth It?

Lahdath is a perfectly pleasant, sweet rose fragrance for those who find Roses Vanille too intense or expensive. Yes, there's a synthetic edge, a slightly artificial sweetness that the original cleverly avoids. However, it's a worthwhile alternative. If you're seeking the *exact* experience, save up for Mancera. But if you desire the vibe – a light, sweet, romantic aura – Lahdath will deliver without breaking the bank. A safe blind buy for those who adore sweet florals.

Wear time & Sillage

This projects reasonably well for the first 2-3 hours, creating a sweet, rosy aura. After that, it settles closer to the skin, becoming a delicate vanilla whisper. Longevity is surprisingly decent, clocking in at around 6-7 hours. Reapplication might be necessary for all-day wear, but it's hardly a chore.
