Lattafa La Collection d’Antiquités 1505 EDP 100ml

Lattafa La Collection d’Antiquités 1505 EDP 100ml is a dark fruity-amber fragrance that pairs the lush sweetness of black cherry with saffron, resinous incense and polished woods. Rather than staying in a simple cherry-gourmand direction, the composition moves through apricot-toned osmanthus, balsamic warmth and a dry, smoky base for a layered unisex character.

Black cherry leads the opening with a ripe, wine-like fruit impression while saffron adds warm spice and a faint leathery edge. Osmanthus continues the fruit theme with floral and apricot-like nuances. Olibanum and amyris bring incense, softness and wood through the heart before styrax, balsam, cypriol and guaiac wood deepen the dry-down.

La Collection d’Antiquités 1505 is designed for customers who want fruit with shadow and texture rather than a bright summer cocktail. It feels rich, composed and evening-oriented, yet the dry woods keep the sweetness controlled. The result suits any gender and rewards a measured application, especially in cooler New Zealand weather.

Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Black cherry and saffron.
• Heart Notes: Osmanthus, olibanum and amyris.
• Base Notes: Balsam, styrax, cypriol and guaiac wood.

Scent Profile

The first impression is unmistakably dark cherry, coloured by saffron’s warm, slightly suede-like spice. As the fragrance settles, osmanthus introduces a floral-apricot facet that bridges the fruit and resinous heart. Olibanum supplies an incense haze while amyris lends a smooth woody tone. Balsam and styrax create lasting ambered warmth; cypriol and guaiac wood add dry earth, smoke and structure. It is fruity at the top, but increasingly resinous and woody on skin.

Who Is It For?

A strong match for people who enjoy black cherry, saffron, incense, balsams and smoky woods. It may appeal to customers moving beyond straightforward vanilla or berry perfumes into darker amber compositions. Those seeking crisp citrus, aquatic freshness or a very clean musk should consider a fresher style, while anyone sensitive to saffron or incense should start with fewer sprays.

When to Wear

Best suited to autumn, winter, cool spring evenings, dinners, date nights, celebrations and dressed-up occasions. It can also work as a distinctive signature in an air-conditioned setting when applied lightly. Warm weather magnifies the cherry and resins, so a restrained spray count is preferable during humid Auckland days or close indoor events.

Longevity & Sillage

As an Eau de Parfum built around saffron, olibanum, styrax, balsam and woods, 1505 is structured to retain a warm aromatic presence after the cherry opening softens. The resins and smoky woods are likely to define the longer dry-down. Actual longevity and sillage vary with skin chemistry, application, temperature, clothing and storage.
