by Lattafa Perfumes
Qaa'ed Al Shabaab Lattafa is a powerful, primal leather scent with intense animalic and oud accords that define its character. The fragrance opens with a sharp, smoky leather streak layered over raw oud and a faint floral undercurrent, delivering a bold, dry, and slightly musky profile that mimics the inside of a tanned leather jacket left in a dusty workshop. The sillage is strong initially and remains present for many hours, with a dry, woody drydown that lingers on skin like a memory of smoke and tar. It’s not a subtle or wearable fragrance in mainstream settings—its presence is confrontational and deeply male-centric, suited for cold seasons and intimate or rugged environments like motorcycle rides or outdoor camping. Some users note a subtle sweetness and animalic depth that evolves into a creamy, powdery leather after a few hours, with a surprisingly long duration and clean-ish dry down that eases its intensity.
