Nakahat Al Oud Lattafa
by Lattafa Perfumes
Nakahat Al Oud by Lattafa Perfumes is a deeply warm, sweet, and slightly boozy oud fragrance that balances spiced woods with creamy vanilla and ambient amber. The opening features a pronounced, synthetic oud with honeyed and rum-like sweetness, giving way to a rich, patchouli-forward base notes of warm amber, musk, and vanilla. It delivers a layered, gourmand woody-amber profile that feels unexpectedly luxurious despite its affordable price point. The scent evolves smoothly, revealing a soft, powdery dry down with saffron and rose hints, and projects moderately with strong presence during the first few hours. It performs best in colder months and is particularly well-suited for evening wear due to its cozy, enveloping character.

Cons
- −Synthetic oud character in the opening makes it less natural-smelling and not ideal for those averse to synthetic notes
