Lattafa Awraq Al Oud is an Eau de Parfum. Awraq Al Oud opens with Oud, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Amber and Rose, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Lattafa's Awraq Al Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent - some love its 'clean oud' vibe, others get hit with pure granny soap. If you want to smell like an expensive bar of soap from a fancy hotel, go for it. Otherwise, sample first, unless you're into a bit of a gamble.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Given its 'beast mode' longevity and strong sillage, this isn't an ideal office scent where subtlety is key. It leans towards more formal or evening wear due to its richness, though some find it versatile enough for cooler casual outings.

About

Opens with an unexpected aldehydic lift, quickly morphing into a potent rose and oud combination. The rose here is the star, a clean, powdery, almost soapy rendition, with the oud playing a supporting role - woody and smoothed, never barnyard. Subtle hints of spice from nutmeg and cinnamon weave through, adding warmth, before settling into a soft, musky amber and vanilla base.
