What It Smells Like

Antique opens with a spicy and creamy introduction where bright cardamom intertwines with exotic fig, creamy coconut and a hint of rich black tea, giving an inviting and complex first impression. The heart adds an elegant floral-earthy balance thanks to iris, vetiver and jasmine. The dry down brings a warm and indulgent finish of amber, sandalwood, tonka bean and caramel rounded with musk, creating a sophisticated, cozy and long-lasting trail. 

This makes Antique a versatile fragrance that suits cooler weather, evening wear, and any occasion where a bold yet elegant signature scent is desired. 

Dupe / Alternative to 

Antique is widely regarded by fragrance enthusiasts as a quality alternative to Gris Charnel by BDK Parfums — the creamy spice and woody-amber profile are often compared, with many users noting a similar overall vibe, especially in the opening and dry down. It’s not officially marketed as a clone by Lattafa, but this comparison is frequently discussed in fragrance communities. 

Some wearers also mention its resemblance to Gris Charnel Extrait in depth and richness, though Antique has its own unique nuances due to added notes like black tea and coconut. 

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate to long — often 8-10 + hours on skin and fabrics.

• Projection: Smooth opening that settles into a rich woody amber dry down. 

Best For
