Eternal Oud Lattafa

Eternal Oud by Lattafa Perfumes is a rich, ambery vanilla fragrance with a dense, warm character that evolves from its initial burst of plum, grapefruit, and heliotrope into a deeply resonant base of benzoin, tonka bean, and agarwood (oud). It carries a slight medicinal edge in the opening, which some find harsh, but most describe as a fleeting overture that gives way to a smooth, sweet, and warm amber-vanilla profile. The scent is remarkably long-lasting, with solid projection for several hours and lingering skin scent well into the next day. The fragrance is less overtly sweet than expected, with a polished blend that avoids synthetic or sticky notes, and evolves into a deeply sensual, resinous experience that many compare favorably to MFK Grand Soir—though not a perfect clone, it shares a similar soul and lingers long after the novelty wears off. It wears best on cool, dark evenings and is best suited for special occasions, with a sillage that veils rather than confronts. The packaging is lavish and eye-catching, though the plastic dome is prone to cracking, and the scent’s quiet projection requires close wear to fully appreciate.
