Lattafa King of Arabia (Eau de Parfum): Raspberry–Citrus Brightness over Suede-Soft Leather

King of Arabia from the Lattafa Pride line is a modern leather–woody with a subtle fruity lift. It opens bright with bergamot and raspberry, transitions into a refined heart of cedarwood, osmanthus, and orris, and settles into a smooth leather–vanilla–patchouli base. Wearable, polished, and comfortably unisex.

Fragrance Notes

Top: Bergamot, Raspberry fresh citrus and a tangy-red fruit pop.
Heart: Cedarwood, Osmanthus, Orris woody elegance with a peach-skin nuance from osmanthus and a powdery orris sheen.
Base: Leather, Vanilla, Patchouli supple leather rounded by creamy vanilla and grounded woods.

Independent databases and retailers list the same pyramid, aligning with Lattafa’s official page. A few third-party listings mention oud/saffron, but these are not on the brand spec. I’m citing the official notes here.

What It Smells Like

A quick citrus–raspberry sparkle gives way to woody–floral polish (cedar/orris), then a suede-like leather emerges, warmed by vanilla and lightly earthy patchouli. It reads elegant rather than heavy or smoky.

Who Is It For?

If you enjoy soft leather framed by clean woods and a hint of fruity brightness, this is an easy dress-casual choice and genuinely unisex despite the men’s tag on the brand page.

When to Wear

Versatile across autumn–spring and evenings year-round. The leather–vanilla base makes it cozy in cooler air; the citrus/raspberry lift keeps it wearable by day.

Why You’ll Love It

• Refined leather: smooth, not smoky or barnyard.

• Modern twist: raspberry/bergamot add a contemporary, crowd-pleasing opening.

• Balanced dry-down: vanilla and patchouli give depth without cloying sweetness.
