Opulent Oud Lattafa

A dark, opulent oud fragrance with a richly layered composition that evolves from a sharp, medicinal opening into a deeply sweet, smoky, and woody drydown. The initial burst features saffron, cinnamon bark, and a dry, slightly synthetic oud that can be overwhelming, but after 15–20 minutes, it mellows into a luxurious blend of amber, vanilla, patchouli, and sweet resins, with prominent woody and smoky tones. It carries a gourmand warmth, hinting at caramel and praline, and features a surprisingly refined, velvety drydown with a smooth, enduring presence. The scent is bold, intensely projecting in the first few hours, and performs exceptionally well through cold seasons, making it ideal for evening wear in winter or autumn. While it shares DNA with several well-known fragrances—most notably Armani Oud Royal and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud—it stands out for its affordability, skin-scent persistence, and the compelling balance of sweet oud, spice, and woodiness that results in a sophisticated, high-value profile. The fragrance is unisex in potential, though leans masculine due to its weight, leather-like undertones, and smoky depth.
