Scent of A Queen
A chameleon for the modern, classy woman. Never predictable.
An unpredictable floral-fruity for women, layering apple blossom, wild berries and orchid over soft sandalwood and vanilla. A chameleon by design, it never shows the same face twice, much like the woman it was made for.

The Inspiration
A scent as unpredictable as she is.
Scent of a Queen was composed to mirror the modern, classy woman, and built as a chameleon on purpose. One moment it meets you in florals, apple blossom and tiare and water lily, the next in a rush of green apple, pear and wild berries, then both at once. Sandalwood, coconut and vanilla settle underneath to hold it all together. You can never quite predict her, and that is exactly the point.
Hand-composed and finished in Accra, it is pour femme in spirit: layered, self-possessed and impossible to pin down.
In Motion
How to Wear It
The Ritual
Pulse points first
Wrists and neck let the fruity-floral top unfold as you move.
Layer for depth
Try it under Another Face of Oud Elixir for a fruity twist on the cacao.
Wear it as your signature
Long-lasting and crowd-pleasing, made for everyday confidence.

The Perfumer
Why I made This
I wanted a fragrance that behaves the way a certain kind of woman moves through a room, never predictable, never one single thing. Florals, then fruit, then both, shifting every time you think you have it. I made Scent of a Queen for the woman who refuses to be read at a glance. Let them keep guessing.

Before you buy
Questions, answered
Is it floral or fruity?
Both. It shifts between the two, which is the whole idea behind ‘chameleon’.
How long does it last?
Reviewers consistently report enormous projection and wear that lasts well into the next day.
Does it layer well?
Yes; it's a favourite base for layering with the house's sweeter and oudy scents.
Is it only for women?
It's composed pour femme, though the fresh-fruity profile is easy to share.
How far does it project?
Enormous. It leaves a trail roughly 150 meters after you pass by.

Verified PurchaseMy special guy bought this for me. It has so much trajectory and the scent lasts forever. It seems to be oil mixed when helps. A little goes a long way. I moisturize first then layer this on top. The smell is indescribable, but it smells so good!!! I wore it back home in the States and everyone is surprise it was made in Ghana. Honestly, its a gem. Restocking 2 bottles when I arrive next month!!!

Verified PurchaseScent of a Queen’s notes (green apple,apple blossom,peach,mandarin orange,berries,vanilla) reminds me of these two lataffa perfumes, Ansaam gold and Yara candy because they have similar notes and scent profiles in both of them.
If you already own any of these two yet like me you find Ansaam not punching through with the sweetness like it should and that weird plastic smell that ruins it- Scent of a Queen is a more well blended and smoother more sweeter version of Ansaam gold.
If you find Yara candy too juvenile then Scent of a Queen is a more classier version of yara candy !
I am not someone who likes floral forward perfumes so i am quite pleased that it has minimal florals which are “fresh” and well blended ( apple blossom and water lily are light airy fresh florals)
The oil concentration in scent of a Queen is insane ! The projection and longevity is definitely beast mode ! This is the type of perfume where you can get away with 3-5 spritzes which will still fill a room !
I will personally describe it as a fresh fruity floral more than a gourmand even tho it has coconut and vanilla in its middle notes.
Personally i would wear this in the cool evening/night time because Its richness and sweetness give it a luxurious evening feel, but
You can still pull it off in the day time because the fruity-floral top notes allow it to work in daytime—especially in cooler weather
This scent is perfect for a bride on her wedding day !
MY PERSONAL LAYERING COMBOS: In case anyone is interested:
Queen + Haya = Queen sweetens and grounds Haya without removing haya’s champagne fizz
Queen + Bint Hooran (Queen’s juicyness pairs well with Bint’s tuberose, cacoa and woody notes for an amazing sweet woody dry down)
Queen+Khamrah= queen’s green apple pairs beautifully with khamrah and tones down its cinnamon without removing khamrahs boozy notes
FINAL VERDICT : a scent worthy as your signature scent, layers well with other scents, longevity and projection is insane and if you love a well blended juicy fruity floral, this is for you !
