Lattafa Eternal Oud is a warm, elegant oriental fragrance built around sweet amber, smooth vanilla, and refined oud, supported by fruity and floral nuances. It opens with plum and grapefruit, transitions through soft florals, and settles into a cozy base of vanilla, amber, benzoin, tonka bean, and agarwood that feels rich yet approachable. The character leans toward cool-weather sophistication—a scent that feels romantic, comforting, and slightly luxurious without being overwhelming. Scent – 8.8 / 10 The fragrance balances powdery vanilla sweetness, fruity brightness, and warm oud depth, creating a profile that many describe as smooth, cozy, and winter-ready. Some reviewers even compare its amber-sweet direction to high-end styles like Grand Soir, though more as a remix than a clone. Not everyone loves the opening, but the dry-down is widely praised as intoxicating and refined, which is where the fragrance truly shines. Verdict: Rich, comforting, and classy—especially strong in the dry-down. Sillage – 7.5 / 10 Projection is generally described as moderate, creating a pleasant aura rather than filling a room. - Arm’s-length projection for the first few hours before becoming more subtle. - Some users feel projection is lower than expected, even though the scent itself lasts well. Verdict: Noticeable but intimate—more elegant aura than loud statement. Longevity – 8.5 / 10 Performance is one of Eternal Oud’s strengths: - Often 6+ hours on skin with lingering presence afterward. - Many reports place longevity at 8+ hours or even all-day wear, depending on skin chemistry. - Some reviewers note 10+ hours in favorable conditions. Verdict: Solid long-lasting performance for the price range. Final Score - Scent: 8.8 / 10 - Sillage: 7.5 / 10 - Longevity: 8.5 / 10 - Overall: 8.5 / 10 - Bottom line:Lattafa Eternal Oud delivers a luxurious amber-vanilla-oud experience at an affordable level, shining most in its smooth dry-down and dependable longevity. It’s best suited for fall evenings, winter wear, and close-encounter settings where warmth and elegance matter more than loud projection.

Got a generous sample at Ex Nihilo last Saturday and giving this a first wear. When I first sprayed it, my brain immediately went to Radical Rose, but that lasted just a minute then it shifted. Rose, pepper, musk and slight smacking of patchouli. Over the next few minutes the rose comes and goes, there are some white florals but not feminine leaning, I feel like they are more of just a supporting role. Patchouli makes a return and the combo with the rose, I am getting YSL Tuxedo vibes, but not close or a dupe. Deep down there this slightly balsamic spicy note that is fantastic. To me this is like Tuxedo and Radical Rose had a baby and they added in a little white floral. This feels luxurious and prestigious, but not formal, which this can absolutely fill that roll if needed. This is a Harrod's exclusive to Harrod's and Ex Nihilo store only? $560 for 100ml and like most other EX Nihilo won't find many at discounters. Gent Scents and other folks in the boards say Hawas London is supposed to be a good alternative, if the price of the OG scares you, like me😱
