Liam مقابل Rifaaqat

The r/fragrance community has a largely negative consensus on Liam by Lattafa, with disappointed blind buyers noting it smells nothing like advertised (heavy patchouli and church-like incense instead of promised cinnamon and vanilla). While the packaging impresses for the low price, the divisive scent profile and overpowering notes make it a polarizing fragrance that most reviewers regret purchasing, with some suggesting aging the bottle may help but many finding no improvement.

The r/fragrance community strongly dislikes Rifaaqat and similar Paris Corner fragrances, citing excessive synthetic aroma chemicals that create unpleasant, industrial, or body odor-like smells. Many users report sensitivity to specific aromachemicals like Amber Xtreme and aggressive musks commonly found in Middle Eastern-style perfumes. While longevity is strong, the overall consensus is that these fragrances prioritize performance metrics over actual pleasant scent quality.
