Lattafa Thouq 80ml EDP – Litchi, Rose & Incense

Thouq (ذوق, Arabic for “taste”) is Lattafa’s answer to the juicy, glowing rose. Six listed notes — litchi and bergamot up top, rose and incense in the heart, amber and vetiver underneath — add up to a sweet, jammy, slightly smoky rose that feels far more expensive than it is.

Lattafa Thouq launched in 2022 and is widely sold as part of the Lattafa Pride range, although Lattafa’s own website simply lists it as “Thouq” in an 80ml bottle. Fragrantica lists it for women and men, and it holds 4.11 out of 5 from 166 votes — a smaller following than some Lattafa best-sellers, but a very warm one.

The comparison you’ll see most is Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif. Lattafa doesn’t make that claim, and it isn’t for everyone — it’s strong and sweet — so we’ve laid out both sides below.

The Lattafa Thouq Notes, Layer by Layer

Top — Litchi, Bergamot. Thouq opens sweet and juicy. Litchi gives that pink, nectar-like fruit, and bergamot keeps it from feeling syrupy. A few Fragrantica reviewers mention a slightly metallic edge in the first minutes of a new bottle, which they say fades as the bottle settles.

Heart — Rose, Incense. This is where Thouq earns its reputation. The rose is full and jammy — reviewers use words like creamy, powdery and even “lipstick” — and the incense adds a light smoky veil that makes it feel grown-up rather than sugary.

Base — Amber, Vetiver. The drydown turns warm and glowing. Amber brings a resinous sweetness (many reviewers read it as vanilla-like, even though vanilla isn’t listed), while vetiver adds just enough dryness to stop it going flat.

Lattafa Thouq vs Delina Exclusif — What Reviewers Say

Delina Exclusif by Parfums de Marly is the name that comes up again and again in Thouq reviews and on the Fragrantica forums. Lattafa makes no such claim, so treat this as community opinion:

Thouq sits in a small cluster of pink, rosy Lattafa bottles that are easy to mix up. Here’s how they differ:

What Lattafa Thouq Reviews Say

Across 166 votes and 31 reviews on Fragrantica, the praise is consistent: a creamy, powdery, jammy rose with a lovely fruity sparkle, a real sense of richness for the money, and serious strength — several reviewers say one or two sprays is plenty. Many add that it gets noticeably smoother after a few weeks of maceration.

The criticisms are just as clear. Some find it too sweet, with a heavy vanilla-like drydown; a few notice a metallic or “chemical” opening on a fresh bottle; and reviewers warn that the dark juice can mark pale clothing, so spray skin rather than fabric. Fragrantica reviewers describe the bottle as silver with a dark purple cap.

Good to Know Before You Buy

• It’s an 80ml bottle. Thouq comes in 80ml, not the usual 100ml — some listings get this wrong.
• Go light. Reviewers consistently say it’s powerful; start with one or two sprays.
• Spray skin, not pale fabric. Reviewers mention the amber-coloured juice can mark light clothing.
• Give it a few weeks. The metallic edge some notice on a new bottle is commonly said to soften with rest.
• Also listed as “Lattafa Pride Thouq”, “Thouq by Lattafa”, “Thouq perfume”, “Thoq Lattafa” and “ذوق” — same fragrance, you’re on the right page for lattafa thouq.
