Peace and LoveLattafa

- Most users describe Peace and Love as an inspired twist rather than an exact dupe, capturing a similar overall scent profile with its own distinct character.
- Compared to the original's rose and chestnut notes, reviewers find the Lattafa sharper and woodier, featuring a nutty, vanilla, tuberose, and sandalwood drydown.
- While one commenter considers it an exact match, the broader consensus praises it as a high-quality, niche-smelling alternative to the much more expensive original.
Where people agree
“Peace and Love (inspired by Soie Malaquais) - did not love this at first, but I've had it a year now and it's gotten silky smooth. Very nice.”
reddit post ↗“Peace and love lattafa (similar to soie malaquais but more like a twist. Has more of a nutty/vanilla/tuberose sandalwood dry down vs soie malaquais which is more Rose/chestnut/cacao)”
reddit ↗“Peace and Love by Lattafa. Smells exactly like Dries Van Notens Malaquais”
reddit ↗“peace and love is a friggin masterpiece but is not a dupe of soie malaquais just a twist”
reddit ↗“Peace and love is only 30. Smells just like this scent.”

Where people disagree
“no, Lattafa’s Peace and Love is not a dupe (woodier, sharper, and smells like Guidance a bit in the dry down) for me — but I can agree it smells similar in the opening and from time to time in the air”
