Lattafa Pride Liam Blue Shine Eau de Parfum
A fresh, marine-aromatic unisex scent with bergamot, rosemary and pepper over sea notes, violet, musk and amber. Clean and easy-wearing.
Inspired by Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Profondo
Lattafa Pride Liam Blue Shine Eau de Parfum is a fresh, marine-aromatic fragrance that sits comfortably in the same lane as well-known aquatic designer scents.
What does Liam Blue Shine smell like?
The opening combines bergamot, rosemary and pepper for a sharp, herbal-citrus start with a bit of spice. The heart shifts into sea notes and violet, adding a cool, slightly powdery marine character that's the fragrance's main personality. The base of musk, amber and patchouli is kept fairly light, giving just enough warmth to stop the composition from feeling flat as it dries down.
- Top notes: Bergamot, Rosemary, Pepper
- Heart notes: Sea Notes, Violet
- Base notes: Musk, Amber, Patchouli

Who is it for?
