Bayaan
Bayaan by Lattafa is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2023 in the budget price tier. It opens with lychee, pink pepper and blackcurrant, moves into rose, praline and cardamom and dries down to oud, vanilla and oakmoss. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lychee Rosy, watery and delicate. Sweet without being heavy.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
