Pisa

similar to Acqua di Gio

I'm a sucker for zesty citrus and this delivers big time! It doesn't seem to have lasting power but I sprayed only two spritz. Hoping it gets better with maceration but won't happy either way.

Opening the packaging is an event. I felt like I should've invited some friends to applaud afterwards, ha.

* Fantastic citrus fragrance

* Stronger performance than many designer citrus fragrances

* Better than some Acqua di Gio and Light Blue editions

* Very good blend of sweet, citrus, herbal and vanilla aromas

* Stunning presentation in a sculpted all metallic bottle

* Stronger citrus than other similar hybrid fragrances such as Sedley and Maahir Legacy

* Great for all users and all occasions

* Unisex

* Great performer

* Packaging is a bit wasteful

* A touch pricey for what it is

* Might be a bit redundant to Sedley and Maahir Legacy

* Cannot see volume left in bottle

Lattafa's Pisa is both an incredible looking and incredible smelling fragrance. It's a hybrid citrus fougere fragrance very similar to Parfums de Marley's Sedley and Lattafa's own Maahir Legacy. It's a great blend of a few simple notes, swet, citrus, vanilla and herbal aromas.

That may not sound like anything special that warrants such an incredible presentation on paper, but I can assure you that this is the strongest citrus forward fragrance I have ever used. Its performance outshines even some Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio and Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue editions. There are some similarities to Par The citrus is much stronger and sweeter and the herbals noticeably lighter than Sedley and Maahir Legacy. However, Pisa may still be a touch redundant to owners of those fragrances. Regardless, this is the absolute top of the top-tier citrus fragrances I've ever used and is certainly designer if not niche quality.

Pisa keeps the track record of absolutely stunning presentation in the Lattafa Pride line, with a double fold open box that reveals the Pisa bottle in all its glory, an all metallic sculpture of, well, the leaning tower of Pisa. The double box is a touch wasteful given its eventual destination to the recycling bin, though. I feel this was very deserving of Lattafa's clear dome presentation which was used for Eternal Oud previously and is now used for Winners Trophy, both also from the Lattafa Pride line.

This is totally unisex, good for users of all ages, and good for all occasions. That versatility and its strong performance make this a great deal. It's a small tad pricier than usual for Lattafa but not unfairly so given the overall high quality. Recommended.
