LEDDA 16 Scenic Rose Review: 2025 Fruity Floral Rose
A strawberry-and-matcha rose that is LEDDA — not Lattafa. Here is the verified story.

Scent Journey
The first half hour is the composition's signature trick: a ripe, faintly jammy strawberry lifted by a wisp of pink pepper, then almost immediately cooled by a milky green-tea accord. It reads as matcha latte more than as tea — soft, creamy, slightly vegetal, with the strawberry floating on top like fruit in cream. The rose has not yet arrived; this is the overture, and it is the most playful passage of the wear.
Between roughly one and two hours the rose steps forward and the scent changes register entirely. The flower here is not the dark, velvety rose of an oud composition nor the sharp, soapy rose of a classic eau — it is a pale, dewy, powdery bloom, softened further by pear blossom. The green tea recedes into a background shimmer, and the strawberry sweetens and blurs. This is the heart, and it is unmistakably a rose with a sweet tooth.
From four hours onward the composition settles into its base of vanilla, musk, amber and white woods. The rose persists as a powdery echo rather than a statement; the effect is a warm, skin-close, faintly gourmand hum with a clean musky edge. This is where the unisex claim earns itself — the floral sweetness of the opening is replaced by something softer, warmer and considerably more intimate.
Performance Dashboard
No verified longevity data was available at the time of writing. The 4.31/5 community score across 90 votes reflects overall sentiment, not a timed wear test, and should not be read as a longevity figure.
Unverified. No reliable projection data was retrieved. Treat any specific distance claim you read elsewhere for this fragrance as anecdotal until corroborated by multiple wear tests.
Unverified. No reliable sillage data was retrieved for this release. Editorial expectation only — a fruity floral EDP built on musk and white woods typically sits in the close-to-moderate range rather than filling a room.
When to Wear
Pros & Cons
- A genuinely original accord idea — strawberry, matcha and rose — rather than another interchangeable fruity floral
- Strong community reception for a 2025 release: 4.31/5 from 90 Fragrantica votes
- Verifiable, transparently published note pyramid and credited perfumer
- Genuinely unisex wearability, particularly in the musky, amber-toned drydown
- Accessible entry points: an 8ml travel spray at $36 and a 2ml sample at $8
- A matching candle at $48 extends the scent into the home
- Frequently mislabelled online as a Lattafa fragrance — it is not, and no Lattafa Scenic Rose exists
- No verified performance data (longevity, sillage, projection) available at time of writing
- At $98 for 50ml, pricing sits in designer territory rather than budget-clone territory
- The matcha-latte and strawberry accents may read too sweet or too novelty-adjacent for classical rose lovers
- Powdery-musky finish can become heavy in high heat and humidity
Price & Value
“Fair to good, with a caveat. $98 for 50ml is designer-adjacent rather than bargain-tier, so the value case rests entirely on how much you enjoy a conceptual fruity rose. The $8 sample and $36 travel spray are the intelligent way in — test the matcha opening on your own skin before committing to a full bottle, particularly given that verified performance data is still unavailable.”
Reformulation History
No significant batch variations reported. As a 2025 release still in its first production cycles, there is insufficient longitudinal data to assess reformulation or batch drift; the community record is too young to support conclusions either way.
Who It's For
Ideal For
- Anyone who loves rose but finds classical rose soliflores too formal, soapy or old-fashioned
- Fruity-floral and soft-gourmand wearers who want a floral with a dessert accent
- Wearers seeking a genuinely unisex rose that does not tilt heavily masculine or feminine
- Collectors who enjoy modern, concept-driven florals and appreciate a matcha note
- Gift buyers looking for a distinctive but highly wearable signature scent
Not Recommended For
- Rose purists who want a deep, velvety, oud-adjacent or classical rose
- Wearers who dislike sweet or gourmand-adjacent florals in any concentration
- Those actively seeking a Lattafa release — this is not one, and nothing here should be attributed to that house
- Anyone who needs guaranteed performance benchmarks before buying; verified data is not yet available
- Wearers who find powdery musks cloying in warm weather

Layering Ideas
- Layer over an unscented white-musk body lotion to soften the matcha-green edge and stretch the powdery rose
- Pair with a plain vanilla body cream to amplify the gourmand base without adding competing fruit
- Avoid layering with oud, leather or smoky woods — they will bury the fragile strawberry and green-tea opening entirely
- In warm weather, apply to clothing rather than pulse points to keep the powdery musk from turning heavy
