If you're in Penang and dealing with heat and humidity pretty much every day, picking the right perfume gets tricky. Heavy scents can feel suffocating, but something too light disappears fast. This guide is for anyone in Malaysia trying to choose between two Lattafa Pride EDPs: Ansaam Gold and Art of Universe. Both come in 100ml, both are Eau de Parfum, but they go in very different directions. Let's break it down.
Ansaam Gold by Lattafa Pride – the sweet, fresh pick
Ansaam Gold is a 100ml EDP made for women, and its fragrance family is Floral Aquatic. Right from the start, you get pear and mandarin, which gives it a bright, juicy opening that feels refreshing when the weather is hot. It's the kind of scent that doesn't feel heavy on the skin.
What's inside it
- Top notes: Pear, Mandarin
- Heart notes: Rose, Jasmine, Candy
- Base notes: Raspberry, Musk, Vanilla
The heart blends rose and jasmine with a creamy candy accord, so there's a modern sweetness that still feels feminine and playful. As it settles, you get raspberry, musk and vanilla for a warm, soft finish. According to the store description, it suits Malaysia's warm weather well, and the occasions listed are daily wear, casual outings and special events. If you want one perfume for daytime in Penang – malls, offices, mamak trips – this is the more weather-friendly of the two.
Art of Universe by Lattafa Pride – the warm, bold pick
Art of Universe is also a 100ml EDP, but this one is unisex and sits in the Oriental Woody family. Instead of fruit and flowers, it opens with spicy notes, then moves into amber woods and resinous tones. It's a completely different mood from Ansaam Gold.
What's inside it
- Top notes: Spicy Notes
- Heart notes: Amber Woods, Resinous Notes
- Base notes: Smoky Woods, Leather, Amber, Vanilla
The base is where it gets interesting: smoky woods, leather, amber and vanilla give it a warm, rich character. Because it's a warm oriental-woody scent, it's the heavier option, so it makes more sense for the occasions listed in its data: evening events, special occasions and casual wear. In Penang's heat, it's the kind of perfume you'd reach for at night, at dinner, or inside air-conditioned places where a bolder scent works better. And since it's unisex, both men and women can wear it.
Ansaam Gold or Art of Universe – which one for you?
Both are 100ml EDPs from Lattafa Pride, so the choice really comes down to mood and timing.
- Daytime in hot weather: Ansaam Gold. Its fruity-floral aquatic profile with pear and mandarin is lighter and fresher, and it's listed for summer and daily wear.
- Evenings and special events: Art of Universe. The spicy, amber-woody profile with smoky woods and leather is warmer and bolder, and it's listed for evening occasions.
- Who it's for: Ansaam Gold is made for women. Art of Universe is unisex, so it works for anyone.
- Sweet vs deep: If you like sweet, playful scents with candy and vanilla, go Ansaam Gold. If you prefer smoky, woody and spicy, go Art of Universe.
A simple way to decide: think about when you'll actually wear it. If it's mostly daytime use in Penang's heat, Ansaam Gold fits better. If you're dressing up for dinner, events or night outings, Art of Universe is the one that matches that moment.
