by Lattafa Perfumes
Raghba by Lattafa Perfumes is a rich, sweet, and deeply aromatic gourmand oud fragrance that leans heavily toward a warm, cozy vanilla-amber base with prominent notes of sugar, incense, and smoky agarwood (oud). The opening is immediately sweet and syrupy, dominated by vanilla and sugar with a noticeable incense undertone that permeates the scent from start to finish. Over time, the fragrance evolves into a dense, woody, and slightly smoky profile, with sandalwood and oud providing depth without overwhelming the sweetness. It is characterized by a bold, linear development and strong projection, especially in the first hours, making it a fitting choice for cooler seasons like autumn and winter, particularly in evening or intimate settings. The scent is complex, where the vanilla and incense phase give way to a tight, aromatic woodiness with mild oud presence, contributing to its unisex character. Finely blended and technically well-constructed, Raghba offers excellent longevity, often lasting 10+ hours on skin and even longer on clothing, which enhances its value while retaining a synthetic sweetness that some find cloying or distracting. Performance is consistently reported as beast mode in many cases, though the exact perceived sweetness varies significantly depending on the wearer's skin chemistry and version. Overall, it appeals strongly to fans of bold, gourmand-oriented fragrances with oud roots.
