La Collection D'antiquites 1886 Car Perfume 100ml EDP Lattafa Pride

La Collection D'antiquites 1886 by Lattafa Pride is a fragrance that arrives as a conversation piece before the first spray even lands. The bottle is shaped like a vintage motor car from the dawn of the automobile age, a lovingly detailed collectible that looks as good on a shelf as it smells on skin. Inside that remarkable flacon sits a warm, sophisticated eau de parfum built around iris, spice and a sweet Tabac and white chocolate base. It is refined, quietly powerful and unlike anything else at this price.

The Scent Journey

The Opening

The first minutes are bright and slightly bitter in the most elegant way. Bergamot lends a polished citrus sparkle while mate tea brings a green, faintly smoky herbal edge that immediately signals this is a grown-up composition. There is no screeching sweetness here, just a calm, assured introduction that draws you in closer.

The Heart

As the opening settles, the heart reveals the soul of 1886. Orris root delivers that unmistakable powdery, suede-like iris character, cool and aristocratic, wrapped in a gentle dusting of cinnamon and a soft cereal warmth from bran. A whisper of jasmine keeps the floral side airy while tonka bean begins to pour in its almond-tinged warmth. The effect is plush and tailored, like a cashmere overcoat.

The Dry Down

The base is where the vintage car really picks up speed. Blond Tabac and white chocolate melt together into a creamy, softly smoky sweetness, deepened by vanilla and earthy patchouli. White musk smooths everything into a velvety finish that hums along the skin for hours. It is cosy without being cloying, sweet without ever feeling juvenile.

Longevity and Performance

This is one of the strongest performers in the Lattafa Pride stable. Expect eight hours or more on skin, with a moderate to strong projection in the first few hours that settles into a rich, close aura. On clothing it can linger into the next day. Two or three sprays are all you need for an evening out.

When to Wear It

Suited to autumn and winter above all, when the iris, spice and chocolate warmth can bloom properly in cool air. It shines on evenings out, dinner dates, celebrations and any occasion where you want to smell expensive and composed. Spring evenings work too, though summer heat can make the sweetness heavier than intended.
