Art of Universe: a ginger-mint start that finishes in amber wood
The opening is lively and almost tonic: bergamot and mandarin provide the sparkle, ginger bites, and mint brings a green freshness that wakes the whole thing up. Nothing sweet, nothing heavy at this stage. Twenty minutes later, the temperature rises: the pear arrives, juicy and fleshy, the orange blossom softens the edges, and the composition tips towards the warm side. The base is dry and rough-edged — cedar, amber, musk — with a staying power that explains the success of this reference at Lattafa Pride. It moves from fresh to amber wood without a break, and that is exactly what makes it versatile.

Heart: pear, orange blossom
-
Base: cedar, amber, musk
Who it is for, and when
Truly unisex: ginger and cedar pull towards the masculine, pear and orange blossom balance them out. It is one of the rare juices from the house that a couple can share without either of them feeling they are wearing the other’s perfume.
-
Staying power: eight to ten hours on the skin according to user feedback, with a woody-amber base that is still readable at the end of the day.
-
Sillage: moderate. It leaves a trail noticed by those who come close without overwhelming a room. Good news for the office, less spectacular if you want to be noticed from ten metres away.
-
Season: spring and autumn are its ideal seasons. It holds up very well in winter; in a full heatwave, the amber base can feel heavy.
-
Occasion: evening, dinner, event, but also everyday wear if you like a perfume that is clearly readable.
Usage tips
- Three sprays on the pulse points: base of the neck, wrists, behind the ears. As the projection is moderate, you can go up to four in the evening.
- Do not rub your wrists together: the ginger and mint top notes are the first to suffer.
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin, just after the shower: the woody-amber base clings noticeably better.
- One spray on a jacket collar extends its presence well beyond the day.
- Keep the bottle in its box, away from light and temperature variations.
The bottle

Frequently asked questions
How long does Art of Universe last?
Eight to ten hours on the skin according to user feedback, with a lively but short top phase and a cedar-amber-musk base that takes over for most of the day.
Is it masculine or feminine?
Unisex. Ginger and cedar give it a rather masculine backbone, but the pear and orange blossom make it perfectly wearable on a woman. It is one of the easiest juices to share in the Lattafa Pride line.
Which season suits it best?
Spring and autumn. The combination of fresh mint on top and amber wood in the base works particularly well in mid-season. Winter suits it too; on summer days, reduce the dose.

Three during the day, four in the evening. The moderate projection of the juice lets you be generous without risking overwhelming those around you.
