Vintage Radio suits someone who wants a woody-oriental fragrance with real oud and sandalwood depth, without going the very dark, smoky-resinous route — the lavender-and-spice opening and fruity heart keep it from turning heavy. It works best through the cooler months of the year. Every bottle is genuine, sealed stock at below-designer prices.

Vintage Radio opens with lavender, sage and bergamot, moves into a plum and black pepper heart layered with palo santo, and settles into sandalwood and oud for a warm, woody dry-down. Fragrantica's community voting (2,547 votes) puts longevity as long lasting or better for six in ten wearers, with sillage rated moderate by the majority.
Vintage Radio is a 2023 Oriental Woody release from Lattafa Perfumes. It opens on lavender, sage and bergamot — Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts aromatic at 81% strength and citrus at 50%, giving the opening a herbal, slightly bracing edge rather than a purely fresh one. The heart brings plum and black pepper over palo santo, a smoky, faintly sweet wood that bridges the spice into the base; fruity sits at 83% strength here, the second-highest accord after woody itself. The base is sandalwood and oud, and it's this pairing that dominates the whole composition — woody reads at 100% strength, the fragrance's single largest accord, with a soft sweetness (44%) underneath rather than the sharper, smokier oud style some brands lean on.
The lavender, sage and bergamot opening is herbal and a touch sharp, with the aromatic accord doing most of the early work rather than straightforward citrus freshness. Within the first stretch of wear, plum and black pepper move in over palo santo, warming the scent and adding a spiced, slightly smoky dimension. The dry-down settles into sandalwood and oud, with the sweet accord (44%) softening what could otherwise be a dry, austere finish. Daypart voting on Fragrantica comes close to an even split — 50.35% of voters log it for night against 49.65% for day — so it doesn't lean strongly either way.
Of 2,547 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group — 55.16% — rate Vintage Radio's staying power as long lasting, with a further 5.06% calling it eternal and 35.41% moderate. Sillage tracks more modestly: of 2,508 votes, 58.01% describe its projection as moderate, 33.57% as strong and only 3.43% as enormous.
Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes spread across three of the four quarters fairly evenly — autumn leads at 31.32%, followed by winter (28.95%) and spring (28.04%) — with summer trailing well behind at 11.68%. It reads as a cooler-weather scent rather than one built for peak heat.
Lattafa markets Vintage Radio as a fragrance for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting backs that framing: unisex is the single largest bucket at 52.47% of votes, ahead of male-leaning at 29.85%, with female and female-leaning together making up only around 10%. The brand's open framing and the community's own voting point the same direction.
On Fragrantica, community votes link Vintage Radio most closely to Paragon by Initio Parfums Prives, suggesting the two share a similar woody-aromatic accord profile. Lattafa's own Al Nashama also appears among the closest matches, alongside a scattering of niche and designer names further down the list. For an FG-carried alternative in the same orbit, voters who liked Vintage Radio also gravitate toward Hawas Ice by Rasasi.

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.
