Opulent Oud opens with warm saffron and cinnamon, moves into a rose-and-oud heart, then settles into amber, cedarwood and more agarwood for a rich, woody oriental finish. Fragrantica's community voting (1,179 votes) puts long-lasting or better as the largest single group at close to three-quarters of wearers, with sillage most often rated strong.
Opulent Oud is a 2018 Oriental release from Lattafa. It opens on saffron, a dry, slightly leathery spice, alongside cinnamon for warmth. The heart pairs agarwood (oud) with rose, and Fragrantica's accord breakdown confirms oud as the dominant material at 100% strength, with warm spicy close behind at 67%. The base brings back agarwood alongside amber (57% strength) and cedarwood, with the rose accord (45%) still present underneath. Smaller supporting accords of metallic (29%), leather (23%), woody (23%) and cinnamon (22%) round out a profile that reads dark, resinous and spice-led rather than sweet or fresh.
The opening is spiced and slightly sharp, saffron and cinnamon sitting on top before the oud and rose heart takes over — this is where the metallic and leather facets show themselves, giving the rose an edge rather than a soft floral character. The dry-down settles into amber and cedarwood, with the oud running through the whole composition rather than fading. Fragrantica voters log it overwhelmingly as an evening scent: of 1,170 daypart votes, 70% mark it for night against 30% for day.
Of 1,179 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (49%) rate Opulent Oud as long-lasting, with a further 25% calling it eternal — together close to three in four wearers reporting strong staying power, against 21% who call it moderate. Sillage tracks similarly: of 1,151 votes, 51% describe its projection as strong and 18% as enormous, with 29% calling it moderate. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes favour the cooler months clearly: winter leads at 45% and autumn follows at 38%, while spring (12%) and summer (5%) trail well behind. It reads as a cold-weather, low-light scent rather than one built for heat.
Lattafa markets Opulent Oud as a fragrance for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting spreads across the board — unisex is the single largest group at 44% of 1,211 votes, with male-leaning votes (26%) and male votes (21%) together outweighing female and female-leaning (9% combined) — so the brand's open framing holds up against the wider community view too.
Fragrantica's community voting most often links Opulent Oud to Armani Privé Oud Royal by Giorgio Armani and to Shaghaf Oud by Swiss Arabian, suggesting the three share a similar dark, resinous oud-and-spice accord profile. Among Lattafa's own range, wearers who like Opulent Oud also often reach for Raghba and Eternal Oud. FG Perfumes also carries Oud Mood, another Lattafa oud release Fragrantica voters link to Opulent Oud, as an in-stock alternative.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
Lattafa Perfumes started in Dubai in 1980, and the family who founded it still runs the company. Its name comes from the Arabic words for kindness and pleasantness. Lattafa perfumes range from sweet gourmands to bold ouds, at prices well below designer brands.
