Lattafa Al Qiam Gold is a fruity-leathery oriental fragrance for men and women released in 2022. It blends raspberry and saffron with leather, oud, and smoky woods, creating a rich scent profile that feels luxurious, bold, and heavily inspired by the sweet-leathery niche style popularised by fragrances like Ombre Nomade and Tuscan Leather-adjacent compositions.
Notes
Top: Raspberry, Saffron
Heart: Leather, Patchouli
Base: Oud, Amber, Guaiac Wood, Vetiver, Benzoin
The fragrance opens with a striking contrast between juicy raspberry sweetness and warm saffron spice, creating an immediately rich fruity-leathery accord. The raspberry feels dark and syrupy rather than bright or playful, while saffron introduces a dry luxurious warmth that gives the fragrance a Middle Eastern-inspired character from the first spray.
As it develops, leather and patchouli become more dominant, creating a smoky earthy core with smooth suede-like textures. The leather is bold but polished rather than animalic, blending into the fruity sweetness while patchouli adds darker woody depth underneath. Many reviewers describe this phase as rich, sensual, and highly “designer niche” in feel.
In the dry-down, oud and guaiac wood introduce smoky woody depth while amber and benzoin smooth the composition into a warm resinous sweetness. Vetiver adds a subtle dry earthy edge that prevents the fragrance from becoming overly syrupy, allowing the leathery-oud character to remain refined throughout wear.
The overall effect is a fruity leather-oud fragrance with smoky saffron warmth and resinous woody depth that feels bold, luxurious, and highly compliment-oriented, especially suited for evenings, colder weather, and statement wear.
