LattafaPride Vintage Radio for Unisex Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce / 100 ml

I now understand why so many YouTube influencers speak so highly of this perfume. The blend of lavender and plum is impressive, and it has a captivating scent that makes people turn their heads.This fragrance is known as a dupe for Initio Paragon, but it’s only about 1/10th of the price. Despite that, the quality is excellent and the scent is nearly indistinguishable from the original. When it first arrived, the alcohol in the top note felt quite noticeable, but after letting it sit for about two weeks, that sharpness disappeared. I’ve heard that Middle Eastern perfumes often improve as they rest, and Vintage Radio seems to follow that trend as well.Due to the lavender note, it has a slightly powdery feel, which might not be suitable for very hot summer days. However, it’s an elegant scent that fits perfectly in cool or cold weather. The plum note is the most dominant, but it’s not overly sweet, which gives it more of a masculine edge despite being a unisex fragrance.This was a blind purchase, and I have no regrets.When I first saw photos or videos of the bottle, I thought the design looked a bit tacky and odd. But in person, it’s actually quite luxurious. The bottle is made of heavy matte-finish glass, and the raised radio design gives it an expensive look. The only downside is the cap, which feels a bit lacking in quality and closure.I’ve even received compliments with this perfume—something that never happened when I wore more expensive niche fragrances.Scent: 9.7/10Longevity: 6.6/10Projection: 8.9/10

This has a plastic like quality to it similar to a strawberry shortcake doll from the 90s and early 2000s, but instead of strawberry it's a nutty sweet pistachio vanilla like scent. Imagine a cabbage patch kid head smell but you spilled pistachio Gelato on it. It is oddly amazing and good for people who like being a bit weird or doll like.

Vintage radio Smells amazing right off the bat it didn't even need time to mascerate but I'm sure it will get even better with time. Be warned this fragrance has BEAST MODE performance. I was shocked considering it's a relatively sweet fragrance. Do not be fooled it does not go anywhere and projects like a beast! I sprayed it on at 9am before work and at 5pm a coworker said the scent was filling the whole room. This just might be my new signature scent! This is a must buy.

I got my delivery in a few days. It was well packed, OK box, no spills or damages. So the Scent…Well this is very close to the Yum pistachio gelato from Kayali ,which is more like a fresh sweet pistachio sorbet and not a gelato . This Affection one has a more creamy and sweet aspect with more pistachio. I don’t get the soapiness that some people have experienced and I like it but sadly , just like the original Kayali, the performance is poor. It almost feels like a body spray. Is a shame because this is a really nice fragrance , although very synthetic. Now I do want to share that I was reading that Luscious from French Avenue was very heavy on the pistachio , nutty and longer lasting and a better option.,so I purchased it too and definitely have a better projection and a moderate lasting power, not only it smells like pistachios, but like creamy peanuts. The thing is , is lacking the sweetness of the original one. So I decided to layer this two, Luscious first and then Affection and😃OMG. This mixture is what I was expecting from the Kayali decant I got. Strong, nutty and sweet. Now because of the notes, this fragrances aren’t loud on prejection, but the combination made them longer lasting together. I’m happy with both perfumes . Now regarding Affection .,it’s pretty synthetic and it’s OK by itself, but beautiful when layered.

This was a blind buy that I thought I wasn’t going to like because of the lavender, but I was impressed. This is so sweet and the plumb it stands out in the dry down. If you love sweet feminine perfume get this. Def a summer smell but I’ll wear it all year round

I have several fragrances from Lattafa: Khamrah Qahwa, Asad, Oud for Glory, The Kingdom, & Ram Silver. After seeing a few favorable reviews I decided to pick this one up from Amazon for less than $30.One thing Middle Eastern perfumers consistently get right is presentation, and Lattafa is no exception. Vintage Radio comes housed in an elegant box that flips open like a keepsake chest, complete with a mini catalog showcasing their full fragrance line—a classy touch, even if it is part of the sales pitch. The bottle itself is hefty and white, fitting in with Lattafa’s broader aesthetic. While it does feel substantial in the hand, the all-white design comes off a bit cheap-looking, and in the end, the box found its way to the recycling bin.Now, let’s talk scent. Despite its name, Vintage Radio doesn’t evoke anything truly “vintage” in a classic sense. However, I suspect the juicy plum note might be the intended nod—something reminiscent of potpourri or dried flowers. It opens sweet and slightly floral, with a sugar-coated juiciness that leans quite feminine. Lavender, sage, and bergamot give way to an unusual blend of plum and palo santo, smoothed out with a creamy, woody base. The oud is listed but practically invisible to my nose.As someone who typically prefers ouds, woods, leathers, and aromatic profiles, this one veers too sweet and fruity for my tastes. It’s well-blended and even a bit intriguing—thanks mostly to the uncommon mix of plum and palo santo—but it’s not groundbreaking. Longevity is decent, while projection is average at best. Overall, it’s not bad by any means—just a bit much of everything, and a bit outside my personal lane.This isn’t a safe blind buy. If you're into sweet, creamy, and feminine-leaning fragrances, you might find something to love here—but I highly recommend sampling before committing to a full bottle. As for me, I’ll let it macerate a while and revisit it down the road. Who knows—maybe it’ll settle into something more wearable over time.
