Qaa'ed opens on warm cinnamon and cardamom with a touch of bergamot, moves into a saffron and sandalwood heart lifted by carnation and cedar, then settles into a base of agarwood (oud), leather, vanilla and amber. Fragrantica's community voting (1,685 votes) puts longevity as long lasting or better for most wearers, with strong projection the most-picked sillage rating.
Qaa'ed is a 2018 Warm Spicy release from Lattafa. It opens on cinnamon and cardamom, with bergamot adding a brighter edge — Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts warm spicy at 100% strength, with cinnamon itself registering at 38%. The heart brings saffron and sandalwood alongside cedar and carnation, a spiced-woody stage that bridges the opening to the base. That base is where the fragrance settles for good: agarwood (oud) and leather at 35% and 42% strength respectively, softened by vanilla (31%) and amber (26%), with a light powdery finish (27%). The overall shape leans warm, spiced and leathery, not sweet or fresh.
The opening is warm and spiced rather than sharp — cinnamon and cardamom lead, with bergamot giving it lift before it fades. The saffron-sandalwood heart takes over next, bringing in cedar and carnation for a drier, woodier stage. From there it settles into the leather-oud base, with vanilla and amber keeping it from turning austere. Fragrantica voters lean strongly toward night wear — 65% log it as an evening scent against 35% for daytime, consistent with a fragrance that reads as more evening leather-oud than daytime citrus.
Of 1,685 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (57%) rate Qaa'ed's staying power as long lasting, with a further 12% calling it eternal and 27% finding it moderate. Sillage tracks strong: of 1,671 votes, 52% describe its projection as strong and a further 7% as enormous, with 37% calling it moderate. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes favour the cooler months — winter (41%) and autumn (37%) lead by a wide margin, with spring (15%) some way behind and summer trailing at 6%. It comes across as a cold-weather, evening fragrance more than a warm-weather one.
Lattafa frames Qaa'ed as a fragrance for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting leans toward masculine — 34% male and 37% male-leaning of 1,785 votes, against 27% calling it unisex and only around 2% female or female-leaning — but the brand's own framing and the composition's warm spicy-leather character keep it open to any wearer who likes that direction.
Fragrantica's community voting links Qaa'ed most closely to Nuit d'Issey Polaris by Issey Miyake, suggesting the two share a similar warm spicy-woody accord profile. If you like that style of scent, or the leather-oud direction of fragrances like Encre Noire, Qaa'ed is a good place to start. Fragrantica voters who liked Qaa'ed also rated Khamrah Qahwa, also from Lattafa and in stock at FG Perfumes, highly.

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.
