Lattafa Pride Comparison Guide: Ansaam Gold or Thouq? (Office Wear in Sabah)

Looking for a perfume you can wear to work in Sabah, and stuck between two bottles from the same brand? This guide puts Ansaam Gold and Thouq from Lattafa Pride side by side. Both are eau de parfums that suit Malaysia's warm weather, so it really comes down to the kind of scent you want on your workday.

Ansaam Gold by Lattafa Pride

Ansaam Gold is a 100ml EDP made for women, and it sits in the Floral Aquatic family. The opening is pear and mandarin — fresh, fruity and a little playful. From there it moves into a heart of rose, jasmine and a creamy candy accord, which gives the perfume its soft, feminine sweetness. As it settles, you get raspberry, musk and vanilla for a warm, sweet trail.

The store lists its occasions as Daily, Special Event and Casual, so this is a perfume for ordinary days, weekends out, and those moments when you want to feel a bit extra. If your office is on the relaxed side and you like a sweeter, more feminine scent, Ansaam Gold can work for the workday too. The mandarin in the top notes gives a bright, citrusy lift that keeps the sweetness from feeling heavy in the heat. And at 100ml, you get plenty of perfume in one bottle.

Thouq by Lattafa Pride

Thouq comes in an 80ml EDP and it's a unisex fragrance, so it suits anyone at the office. The opening is citrus and fresh notes, which then moves into soft florals and amber in the heart. At the base, you get musk, vanilla and woody notes. Overall, it's a fresh-amber scent — bright and clean when you first spray it, smoother and warmer as it settles.

For this guide, Thouq has one clear advantage: Office is right there in its listed occasions, alongside Daily, Evening and Casual. If your main goal is a workday perfume, that makes the decision a lot easier. Being unisex is a bonus too — one bottle can work for you and your partner, which is handy when you want to keep things simple.

So, Ansaam Gold or Thouq?

If you want a perfume that's built for the office first, go with Thouq. Its fresh citrus-amber style and its office occasion make it the straightforward pick for Sabah's workdays.

If you lean towards something sweeter and more feminine, and your workplace doesn't mind a gourmand twist, Ansaam Gold is the better match. Its daily and casual occasions cover the workday, and you get a perfume that also fits special events.

Both are EDPs, so this is really a choice of mood rather than strength: Thouq is fresh and clean, Ansaam Gold is fruity and sweet. Think about which one sounds more like you, and pick that bottle.
