What it is
-
Eclaire is a gourmand floral perfume released by Lattafa in 2024.
-
It’s mostly marketed toward women, though some people use it unisex depending on their taste.
Notes & Scent Composition
Here are its olfactory layers:
Layer | Notes |
---|---|
Top (opening) | Caramel, Milk, Sugar — very creamy, sweet, dessert‑like opening. |
Heart / Mid | White Flowers, Honey — floral and sweet, softening the dessert richness. |
Base / Dry‑down | Vanilla, Praline, Musk — warm, cozy, lasting; adds depth and rounds off the sweetness. |
So it’s strongly gourmand (edible / dessert‑like); creamy, sweet, with a warm and comfy base.
How It Smells & Evolves
-
The opening is very sweet and creamy — lots of sugar, caramel, milk — almost like a sweet milk‑caramel dessert. Some users say the sweetness is intense at first.
-
As it settles, the floral heart (white flowers + honey) comes through and softens the dessert sweetness, giving it a gentler, more floral gourmand vibe.
-
The dry‑down is warm: vanilla, praline, and musk linger. It becomes more comforting; less sharp, more rounded and cozy. On fabric, it tends to last much longer.
Strengths & What People Like
-
Very good value for lovers of sweet, gourmand perfumes. Many feel you get a lot of sweetness, warmth, and good performance for the price.
-
Longevity is often praised, especially on clothing. Some say they can still smell it on their jacket a day later.
-
It tends to get lots of compliments — its dessert‑like sweetness is attractive to many.
Weaknesses / What Some Dislike
-
Extremely sweet — for some, it starts off so sugary it becomes cloying, especially in hot weather.
-
Synthetic / harsh initial smell: many users report that right after spraying there’s a strong alcohol or chemical/plastic/rubber note that can be off‑putting. It often improves after letting the perfume sit (called “maceration”) for a while.
-
Projection calm‑down: the opening is louder / more radiating, but after a few hours it becomes more skin‑close and softer. Some feel it’s less noticeable later.
Best Situations to Wear It
-
Seasons: Cooler weather (autumn, winter, cold evenings) is probably best so the sweetness doesn’t become overwhelming. Some also like wearing it in spring.
-
Occasions: Casual outings, cozy indoor settings, evenings, or whenever you want something comforting and gourmand. Maybe less ideal for very formal or hot outdoor events unless you want to “lean into” the sweet.
-
When you want to feel: Warm, sweet, indulgent — like dessert, comfort, coziness, cuteness.
Comparisons & Final Impressions
-
Many people compare Eclaire to Bianco Latte (Zara) because they share milky / vanilla / sweet gourmand vibes. Some feel Eclaire is a decently good affordable alternative.
-
If you like perfumes that smell like creamy desserts, caramel etc., this is right in that lane. But if you prefer more restrained, dry, green, fresh, or woody perfumes, this might be too sweet.
