Lattafa Qaa'ed 100ml | Best Warm Spicy Unisex Parfum UK

Lattafa Qaa'ed

Qaa’ed by Lattafa Perfumes is an assertive, spicy masterpiece created for power players that want to smell like leaders. Nicknamed the “Leader” among many Middle Eastern fragrance lovers, Qaa’ed opens with saffron, nutmeg and cinnamon to bombard the senses with immediate warmth and spice. Instantly enveloping your senses, Qaa’ed oozes oud-infused luxury and leaves little question as to your presence upon entering the room.

Heart notes settle into an extravagant blend of agarwood (oud) and sandalwood. Cloves lend sweetness to the heavy dose of spices and resinous woods in this perfume. It’s this middle portion of the fragrance that lends Qaa’ed its “niche” quality – creating a perfume that feels full and expensive.

The dry down is equally as sexy, with creamy amber and vanilla married beautifully to earthy leather. Together they create a beast-mode animal magnetism that clings to your skin. An intimidating dry down like this is rare outside of premier leather fragrances. Qaa’ed’s personality is strong and professional – you’ll smell expensive all day long.

Inspired By

Inspired by the spicy, rich and woody fragrance notes found in luxury fragrances like Issey Miyake Polaris, Habit Rouge and Amouage Interlude but with an Arabic twist, Qaa’ed has quickly become a fan favourite for its similar scent profile but at an unbelievable price.

The Wear Experience

In terms of Qaa’ed’s wear, simply imagine enveloping yourself in golden silk. Bold and spicy cinnamon and saffron sparkling up the top notes while creamy vanilla and amber wrap you like a warm blanket. Dark leather and oud give this fragrance masculinity that helps Qaaed pull off the unisex crowd pleaser title with ease.

It’s rare to find a fragrance that not only smells as great as Qaa’ed but projects and performs as well in cooler weather. When wearing Qaa’ed you will find yourself exuding mystery and confidence with every step you take. It’s a beast mode scent that works incredibly well for autumn and winter months as the richest piece of your fragrance wardrobe.

Lattafa Qaa’ed Perfume Bottle

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Lattafa Qaa’ed smell strong?

A: Like most spice heavy fragrances, Qaa’ed comes off strong during application but blends into your skin nicely. Expect powerhouse performance. On clean skin, dry down typically hits 10 to 12 hours. Due to its leather and oud base, your fragrance will also linger on clothing and jackets for days on end.

Q: Is Qaa’ed good for the office?

A: Qaa’ed can be worn for work if applied lightly. As mentioned above, Qaa’ed has monstrous levels of projection. We recommend applying 1-2 sprays maximum if worn for indoor professional settings.

Q: Is Lattafa Qaa’ed for men or women?

A: Qaa’ed is a fantastic unisex fragrance. Sure, the dark leather and woody notes give off strong masculine aromas, but the sweetness from amber and vanilla gives Qaa’ed femininity that will appeal to all genders.

Q: Should I macerate Lattafa Qaa’ed?

A: We recommend allowing your Qaa’ed to macerate for 2-4 weeks after your initial few sprays. Middle Eastern fragrances often have intense opening notes that might throw you off. With Qaa’ed specifically, allowing the fragrance to macerate will balance out the spices with the aromatic woods.
