London the City of Contrast by Lattafa, as a decant
Here Lattafa London the City of Contrast, a perfume, is listed as a sample of 2, 5 or 10 ml. We do not have its notes on record, which is one more reason to let your own nose decide. With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

On the skin
The notes of London the City of Contrast are not in our files. That is not a judgement about the perfume, only about what we can state with certainty. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
On request means we do not have Lattafa London the City of Contrast ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Lattafa London the City of Contrast, moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. Pick the small vial if you only want to know whether you like it, and a larger one if you want to live with it for a while.
Testing it
Our data does not say whether Lattafa London the City of Contrast is meant for warm or cold days, so test it in both if you can. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly.
Who London the City of Contrast is aimed at is not on record with us. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you. If Lattafa is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label.
You learn more from three wearings of Lattafa London the City of Contrast than from thirty opinions about it. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive

Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants London the City of Contrast from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Lattafa London the City of Contrast, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Spray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.
The brand
Lattafa is a third-generation, family-run perfume house from the United Arab Emirates that reaches, in its own words, fragrance enthusiasts in over 120 countries. With more than 2,000 products, in-house manufacturing and its own research, it works at an industrial scale. Among the Lattafa samples here are Musamam Black Intense, Mishlah and Khamrah Waha, three Eau de Parfum that differ enough that a sample of each is the sensible way to pick.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
