Affection Lattafa Eau de Parfum 100ml

Lattafa Affection Eau de Parfum – creamy pistachio, vanilla and tonka with a green cassis accent

Quick overview

Affection by Lattafa is a creamy gourmand Eau de Parfum built around pistachio and hazelnut, softened by warm vanilla and smooth tonka. A subtle green accent from cassis buds keeps the sweetness open and balanced. Designed as unisex, yet often read as soft and gently feminine on the skin. Especially well suited for daytime wear in spring and autumn.

First impression: creamy, nutty, instantly comforting

Affection begins with a feeling rather than a statement. The scent settles onto the skin like a smooth cream and stays there without becoming heavy. Pistachio is clearly present from the start – creamy, nutty and appetising, but never sugary. Hazelnut adds a warm, rounded depth that gives the fragrance substance. The result is an immediately pleasing profile many associate with Affection: reminiscent of pistachio cream, only more refined, cleaner and easier to wear.

This sense of effortlessness is exactly what makes it so popular. One spray is enough for the fragrance to feel friendly and reassuring. No riddles, no sharp turns. A scent that lifts the mood without trying to impress. Often, that is the most reliable way to attract compliments: by being pleasant rather than provocative.

The sweetness: soft, controlled, never sticky

Affection is sweet, but never heavy. The sweetness sits like a gentle sheen over the nutty cream, not like a thick layer. This matters, as many gourmand fragrances become tiring when they turn too dense. That does not happen here. The vanilla feels creamy and rounded rather than syrupy, supported by a soft, powdery texture that smooths everything out and gives the fragrance a calm elegance.

This powdery softness does not feel dated. Instead, it works like a fine filter, taking the edge off the sweetness and making the overall impression more harmonious. Affection remains broadly appealing without becoming generic.

Cassis as a green counterpoint

A subtle green note keeps Affection open and breathable. Cassis buds do not come across as a typical fruity note, but rather as a slightly herbal, green freshness that lightens the creamy nuttiness. It is not a sharp contrast, more like a clean breath of air between layers of cream. This makes Affection noticeably easier to wear during the day and less dessert-like.

Especially in spring and autumn, this balance works beautifully. You get warmth and creaminess, yet enough lightness to prevent the fragrance from feeling too rich. It makes Affection a dependable choice for everyday wear.

Soft florals and milky smoothness

Beneath the creamy surface lies a gentle floral nuance. It is not opulent, not loud and never dominant. Instead, it adds a refined outline and a touch of brightness that carries the nutty sweetness more gracefully. Alongside this comes a milky smoothness that is felt more than analysed, giving the fragrance a particularly supple, almost velvety character.

This is also where the more feminine reading of the scent emerges. Affection is conceived as unisex, but the combination of creamy sweetness, soft florals and powdery smoothness often feels gentle and subtly feminine on the skin. This is not a limitation, but a way of wearing it – and for many, exactly what makes it so appealing.

Vanilla, tonka and a hint of woods as the foundation

The base feels warm and steady. Vanilla brings calm, while tonka adds a softly almond-like warmth and depth that lasts for hours. In the background, a discreet woody nuance provides structure without turning dry. Throughout its wear, Affection remains true to itself. It does not suddenly become sharp, rough or dark. Instead, it grows smoother, rounder and slightly warmer over time.

Those who appreciate a clear signature will enjoy this consistency. Affection is not a fragrance that constantly performs new tricks. It stays within its creamy, nutty vanilla world – and that steadiness is exactly what makes it so comforting.

When it works best

Affection shines during the day. It fits effortlessly into work, daily routines and casual meetings – anywhere you want to feel pleasant without the fragrance taking over the situation. It can also work in the evening for those who enjoy gourmand scents, but its true strength appears in daylight, when the pistachio cream feels clearest and the green cassis accent keeps everything fresh enough.

On very warm days, a lighter application is recommended. One or two sprays are enough to keep the sweetness in check. In cooler weather, a little more brings out the full comfort of the vanilla and tonka.

Layering: why Affection is so easy to combine

Affection is excellent for layering. Those who enjoy gourmand fragrances will quickly recognise it as a creamy base that smooths edges, rounds off sweetness and adds a nutty depth to other compositions. It pairs especially well with vanilla- or tonka-focused scents, creating a cohesive and elegant signature. Affection remains present, yet never overwhelms – it holds everything together.

Who Affection is made for

Affection suits anyone who enjoys vanilla but wants more than vanilla alone. Anyone who appreciates nuttiness without dryness, sweetness without stickiness. Unisex in concept, yet with a soft, gently feminine reading on the skin that many find particularly appealing.

Lattafa Affection Eau de Parfum offers warmth without pressure: creamy, nutty, sweet, with a green accent that keeps it open. Easy to like, easy to wear – and often the fragrance you reach for when you simply want to feel good.
