The review
Strong contender. That is where Sakeena lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Roses Vanille.
Lattafa sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Roses Vanille's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $45 per 100ml it costs 73% less than Roses Vanille — the 2nd cheapest of 5 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Lattafa publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: italian lemon up top, Turkish Rose in the middle, vanilla, white musk and cedar underneath — the shape of Mancera Roses Vanille.
Top
- italian lemon
Heart
- Turkish Rose
Base
- vanilla
- white musk
- cedar
For the one who loves an unapologetically sweet, candied rose wrapped in rich vanilla, projecting powerfully and lasting all day on skin.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 8 twins of Mancera Roses Vanille we can price, Sakeena is number 2 on price per 100ml.
