Ra'ed Oud opens with saffron, lavender and bergamot, moves into a rose, incense and cypriol heart, then settles into a leather, oud, sandalwood and amber base. Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts leather (100%) and woody (98%) ahead of the oud accord itself (59%), so the finish reads more leather-and-wood than oud-forward. Fragrantica's community voting (106 raters) calls its sillage strong.
Ra'ed Oud is a 2021 Leather fragrance from Lattafa. It opens on saffron, lavender and bergamot — a spiced, slightly herbal top that doesn't stay long. The heart brings cypriol oil (also called nagarmotha, an earthy, woody root material), incense and rose, adding smoke and a dry floral edge. The base is where the fragrance settles: leather, oud, sandalwood and amber.
Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts leather at 100% strength and woody at 98%, with amber at 93% and warm spicy at 92% close behind. Smoky sits at 64%, and the oud accord itself registers at 59% — present and identifiable, but not the dominant character despite the name. Animalic (47%) and earthy (45%) round out the profile, giving the leather a slightly raw, skin-close quality rather than a polished one.
The saffron-lavender-bergamot opening is brief and mostly there to soften the entry into the heart. Within the first half hour, cypriol and incense start to show — this is the smoky, woody-root stage, with rose adding a dry floral note rather than a sweet one. From there it settles fully into the base: leather, oud, sandalwood and amber, an arrangement that stays close to the skin and settles warm and slightly animalic, not fresh. Fragrantica voters lean toward wearing it at night — 61.5% log it as an evening scent against 38.5% for daytime.
Of 106 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (49%) rate Ra'ed Oud's staying power as long lasting, with a further 13% calling it eternal and 30% moderate. Sillage tracks strong: of 99 votes, 51% describe its projection as strong and 5% as enormous, with 36% calling it moderate. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes favour the cooler months — winter (37%) and autumn (35%) lead, with spring at 22% and summer trailing well behind at 6%. It reads as a scent for the colder half of the year rather than midsummer heat.
Lattafa markets Ra'ed Oud as a fragrance for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting skews male — 63.5% male and a further 19.6% male-leaning of 107 votes — but the brand's own framing keeps it open to any wearer, and the leather-oud-amber profile itself doesn't carry an inherently gendered character.
Fragrantica's community voting links Ra'ed Oud most closely to Bentley for Men Intense by Bentley, with Lattafa's own Velvet Oud and Qaa'ed also frequently named alongside it — suggesting a shared leather-woody-amber accord profile across the group.

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.
