A couple of years ago, my knowledge of perfume was next to nil. I had about a handful in my collection, but I never wore them much because I didn't want them to run out too fast. For Ramadan two years ago, I wanted to treat myself to a new perfume, and I blind-bought (I know it's risky but me being me I never learn ) Lattafa Musk Mood.
I was looking at another perfume at the time but it was sold out, but the perfume shop owner recommended this to me. I was happy because guys, just look at the bottle?! Isn't it just lush? After doing some research online I saw that most reviews online for this perfume are positive!
Read my post to check out my thoughts on Lattafa MuskMood ( Spoiler Alert; floral, musky perfection!)
Pros
- Affordable - a word I like because I LOVE budget-friendly perfumes!
- A beautiful blend of floral and musk, it's a powdery bliss!
- Elegant bottle - I love the ribbon with the perfume's name around the bottle.
- Long lasting - lord this pleasantly surprised me!
Cons
- If you don't like musky or powdery perfumes, you won't be a fan of this!

Performance
I must admit when I first got this perfume two years ago I wasn't a big fan of it, so much so that I just let it sit on my dresser a few months before giving it a try again! Once I tried it again I fell in love with it!
At first, I felt like it was a bit too Golden Girls for me if you know what I mean. I felt it a little on the old-fashioned side with the musk and powdery scent. After a few months, I changed my mind and love wearing this more on evenings or days out because I feel like the floral and musk compliment me perfectly on those occasions.
This lasts a good 6 hours and those 6 hours are solid! Surprised me, guys!
When to wear Lattafa Musk Mood?
Well, this all depends on what you like in my opinion but if you love overpowering strong musky, floral and powdery scents, well this is for you! I feel like it's more of an evening perfume as I said above but there are no rule book guys, go for what you like!!
How Much is Lattafa Musk Mood?
As with anywhere prices can vary, I am sure I got mine for £20. Shop around if you like a bargain.
Layering Options
Since this is a floral, musky scent anything with those notes will work fabulous with this perfume. I personally wear this on its own mostly because my goodness this is strong and long-lasting.

My Thoughts
I like this perfume a lot! It's powerful and affordable. It smells more expensive than it is and it's very feminine which I love. My bottle has been through it for sure because my teenage daughter likes it too! We have also moved house twice in two years so it has seen better days haha!
I love the fruity, floral and musky notes in this, if you love a combination of these then you will enjoy this!
Thats the thing with my perfume journey because I am trying more perfumes and I actually enjoy trying different fragrances which I never thought I liked before, so much fun guys I promise you!! Every time there is a perfume shop, I am sampling haha!

I really like citrus and musk notes in perfumes so this sounds like something I would like to wear. I'm always on the look out for a scent that suits me that is also affordable. It sounds pretty good!
ReplyDeleteOoh, this sounds like such a dreamy scent! I love a good cosy musk, and the way you described it makes me want to wrap myself in it like a soft blanket. Definitely adding Musk Mood to my fragrance Wishlist now!
ReplyDeleteOoh. I love this combination of scents! The woody and floral notes are very appealing to me.
ReplyDeleteI love a great floral perfume. I am not that sure about the musk, but would have to check it out in a store first.
ReplyDeleteI love reading about all the fragrances you share with us, cute bottle. I don't think this brand would be for me, there's something about that musk fragrance scent.
ReplyDeleteThe bottle is super pretty, but I am certain I would love the scent of this! I enjoy anything with florals and musk!
ReplyDeleteI’m always on the hunt for budget-friendly perfumes that still feel luxurious, and this sounds perfect. The fact that it lasts 6 hours is a big win for me!
