Teriaq suits anyone drawn to sweet, gourmand fragrances with some grip — the caramel-and-honey heart is balanced by leather and musk in the base, so it reads warm rather than sugary, and it's best kept for autumn and winter wear. As a 2024 Lattafa release, it sits in the brand's newer lineup.

Teriaq opens on sweet caramel and bitter almond, warmed by ripe apricot and a touch of pink pepper, then moves into a honeyed heart of rhubarb, white flowers and rose. The base settles into leather, vanilla, musk and labdanum, with vetiver keeping it from turning too soft. Fragrantica's community (1,640 votes) rates it long lasting for 46% of wearers, with a further 11% calling it eternal.
Teriaq is a 2024 Sweet fragrance from Lattafa Perfumes, composed by Quentin Bisch. It opens on caramel and bitter almond, brightened by apricot and a touch of pink pepper. The heart brings honey, rhubarb, white flowers and rose, and the base settles into leather, vanilla, musk, labdanum and vetiver. Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts sweet at 100% strength, with caramel (67%), fruity (54%) and honey (51%) close behind, and leather sitting at an equal 51% — unusual for a scent this sweet, and the reason it reads as gourmand-with-an-edge rather than straightforwardly dessert-like. Vanilla (43%), almond (41%) and a distinct animalic quality (40%) round out the profile: that animalic note is what the musk and labdanum in the base contribute, a warm, skin-like undertone beneath the sugar.
The opening is sweet and nutty straightaway — caramel and bitter almond together, with apricot softening the edge and pink pepper adding a brief spiced lift. Within the first hour, honey and rose move in alongside rhubarb and white flowers, turning the caramel into something rounder and more floral rather than purely confectionery. The dry-down is where the leather and labdanum surface, meeting the vanilla and musk to leave a warm, slightly animalic skin-scent that lasts through the rest of wear. Fragrantica voters lean toward evening: of 1,990 daypart votes, 57% log it as a night scent against 43% for day.
Of 1,640 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (46%) rate Teriaq's staying power as long lasting, with a further 11% calling it eternal and 36% moderate. Sillage tracks similarly: of 1,632 votes, 49% describe its projection as moderate and 38% as strong, with 7% calling it enormous and only 6% intimate. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes split almost evenly between autumn (36%) and winter (35%), with spring at 19% and summer trailing well behind at 10%. It reads as a cold-weather scent — the caramel-leather-musk combination is built for cooler air rather than heat.
Lattafa's own listing frames Teriaq as a fragrance for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's gender voting skews female — 48% female and a further 30% female-leaning of 1,813 votes, against 20% unisex and 2% combined male and male-leaning — but the brand's own framing keeps it open to any wearer, and FG's default is to describe a scent this way unless it is sharply and exclusively gendered.
Fragrantica's community voting links Teriaq most closely to La Belle by Jean Paul Gaultier, suggesting the two share a similar gourmand-floral shape built around caramel, honey and vanilla. If you like La Belle but want to explore the style through an Arabian brand, Teriaq is a reasonable place to start. Fragrantica voters who liked Teriaq also liked Lattafa Eclaire, another caramel-and-vanilla gourmand FG carries in stock.

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.
