Lattafa Nebras: Oud for the Modern World

Oud is centuries of Middle Eastern perfumery rendered in a single material — resinous, commanding, deeply rooted — and in the last decade it has conquered wardrobes from Riyadh to New York. Lattafa Nebras by Lattafa speaks that language fluently while layering Oud, Warm Spicy, Resinous, Amber into the conversation. Crafted by Unknown and released in 2022, this EDP honours the oud tradition without being bound by it.
