Lattafa King Of Arabia is an Eau de Parfum. King Of Arabia opens with Bergamot and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Cedar, Iris, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Lattafa's King Of Arabia carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

King Of Arabia is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, and absolutely not a blind buy unless you live for challenging, assertive leather and Oud-forward scents. It's potent, polarizing, and demands respect, or you risk smelling like an old man or a pile of tires.

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.

Best For:
Date Formal

This fragrance is incredibly strong and long-lasting, often described as 'beast mode' with radioactive sillage that fills rooms. Its intense leather and Oud profile makes it unsuitable for professional or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key; however, it shines in formal evening events or dates, where its bold and mysterious character can be appreciated.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a bold burst of sweet raspberry and bright bergamot, King Of Arabia quickly transitions to a powerful core. Robust leather dominates, softened by powdery orris and the woody depth of cedar and osmanthus. The dry-down reveals a smooth, almost metallic complexity, rounded out by vanilla and earthy patchouli, creating a dark, sweet, and undeniably animalic skin scent that lasts for ages.
