Lattafa Ra'ed Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Ra'ed Oud opens with Bergamot, Lavender, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Rose, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oud. Lattafa's Ra'ed Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper statement, not for the faint of heart or those seeking universal affection. It's bold, unapologetic, and divisive - you'll either love its rugged character or be put off by its eccentricities. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like your fragrances challenging.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its strong projection and distinct, non-mass-pleasing character make it unsuitable for office wear. While bold, its rugged leather and oud notes might be too intense for some dates, but it can shine in casual settings, especially in cooler weather. It lacks the polish for most formal events.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Opens with a zing of bergamot and saffron, softened by lavender, before plunging into a robust heart of smoky incense and rosy cypriol. The drydown unveils a dominant, almost industrial leather, intertwined with earthy oud, creamy sandalwood, and a warm amber embrace. It's a journey from fresh spices to a deeply masculine, leathery finish.
