Lattafa Raghba Wood Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Raghba Wood Intense opens with Cedar, Guaiac Wood, Licorice, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Lattafa's Raghba Wood Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that demands patience and a thick skin. If you can get past the initial burnt sugar and 'old church' vibes, you'll be rewarded with a unique, intensely woody, and sweet Middle Eastern gem. Not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a steal.

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:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

This perfume screams beast-mode performance, with strong projection and longevity, making it completely unsuitable for office wear. Its intense, smoky-sweet character is best reserved for colder weather casual outings or intimate date nights, where its warmth can truly shine without overwhelming. It's too unique and potent 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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • 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

Raghba Wood Intense plunges you into a dark, smoky forest, where guaiac wood and cedar mingle with sharp liquorice and a rich, burnt caramel sweetness. As it settles, a deep amber glow emerges, softened by vanilla and musk, with subtle hints of frankincense adding a contemplative depth. The woody core remains dominant, making for a robust and enveloping experience.
