Lattafa
Raghba EDP
“Tobacco Vanille's Middle Eastern cousin — similar soul, completely different accent.”
Lattafa's 2014 release — a sweet incense-and-vanilla composition with oud, musk, and sandalwood in the base. A foundational entry in Lattafa's catalogue and a budget gateway to oud-vanilla niche fragrances. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.
