Lattafa Qaa'ed Al Shabaab is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Qaa'ed Al Shabaab opens with Ylang-Ylang and Osmanthus, and settles into a heart of Leather and Cedar. Lattafa's Qaa'ed Al Shabaab carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This is a bold, uncompromising leather bomb of a fragrance, not for the faint-hearted. It’s a polarizing scent that people either adore for its raw, authentic leather and outstanding performance, or recoil from its intense, industrial edge. If you’re into serious leather, this Lattafa offers niche quality at a bargain price.

About

Qaa'ed Al Shabaab kicks off with a surprising floral sweetness from osmanthus and ylang-ylang, a brief calm before the storm. Once that fades, you're hit with an intense, authentic blast of leather, akin to new car upholstery or a worn-in biker jacket. This robust leather is quickly joined by an animalic oud, and a strong cedar note, creating a dark, woody, and powerfully masculine aroma that lingers for ages.
