Lattafa Al Qiam Gold: Raspberry, Saffron and Smoked Leather

A dark, jammy evening scent: red fruit and saffron on top, leather and patchouli in the middle, oud, benzoin and guaiac wood underneath. 100ml Eau de Parfum, £22.99.

Raspberry and saffron is one of the most recognisable pairings in modern Middle Eastern perfumery: sweet-tart fruit against a dry, golden spice. Lattafa Al Qiam Gold takes that pairing and drops it onto leather and oud, so it starts jammy and ends smoky. Fragrantica voters rank leather as its single strongest accord, ahead of warm spice and oud, which tells you this is a darker scent than the fruit up top suggests.

Fragrantica and Lattafa both date it to 2022 and present it for women and men; no perfumer is credited. Retail listings and Fragrantica reviewers often place it in Lattafa’s higher-end Pride range, though Lattafa’s own product page doesn’t say which line it belongs to.

The Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade question

Read enough Al Qiam Gold reviews and Ombre Nomade comes up again and again, with several Fragrantica reviewers calling it a close clone. Lattafa doesn’t make that claim, so here’s what the published note lists actually share, and where they part ways:

RaspberrySaffronOudBenzoin

Only in Ombre Nomade

RoseIncenseBirchGeraniumAmberwood

Four shared materials, and they are the four that define the first impression: raspberry, saffron, oud and benzoin. That’s why the two feel related on a blotter. Beyond them, Ombre Nomade (2018, by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud) goes towards rose, incense and birch smoke, while Al Qiam Gold goes towards leather, patchouli and dry woods. If you want the Louis Vuitton exactly, buy the Louis Vuitton. If you love the raspberry-saffron-oud idea and want it with more leather, this is the one to try.

How it unfolds

Stage 1 · Top notes

Raspberry & Saffron

Jammy red fruit cut with dry, almost metallic saffron. The brightest, sweetest moment of the scent.

Stage 2 · Heart notes

Leather & Patchouli

The fruit darkens. Smooth leather and earthy patchouli take over, which is where Fragrantica’s top accord comes from.

Stage 3 · Base notes

Oud, Amber, Benzoin, Guaiac Wood, Vetiver

Resin and wood. Benzoin and amber keep it warm and slightly sweet; guaiac wood and vetiver add a dry, smoky finish around the oud.

The pyramid above is identical on Lattafa’s official page and on Fragrantica: ten notes, two in the top, two in the heart and five in the base. A base that heavy is typical of scents built for the evening.

Al Qiam Gold, Answered

Tap a question to open it. Every answer is checked against Lattafa and Fragrantica.

What does Lattafa Al Qiam Gold smell like?

Jammy raspberry and dry saffron to start, then smooth leather and earthy patchouli, settling into a smoky, resinous base of oud, amber, benzoin, guaiac wood and vetiver. Sweet at first, dark and leathery for most of its wear.

Is Al Qiam Gold a dupe of Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade?

Lattafa doesn’t market it as one, but many reviewers compare them. On Fragrantica they share four notes: raspberry, saffron, oud and benzoin. Ombre Nomade adds rose, incense, birch and geranium; Al Qiam Gold adds leather, patchouli, amber, guaiac wood and vetiver. Related in DNA, not identical.

What are the Al Qiam Gold notes?

Top: raspberry and saffron. Heart: leather and patchouli. Base: oud, amber, benzoin, guaiac wood and vetiver. Lattafa’s page and Fragrantica list the same ten notes.

Is Al Qiam Gold for men or women?

Both. Fragrantica and Lattafa present it for women and men.

Is Al Qiam Gold part of Lattafa Pride?

Retail listings and Fragrantica reviewers often describe it as a Pride release, but Lattafa’s own product page doesn’t name a sub-line, so we can’t confirm it from the brand.

When should I wear Al Qiam Gold?

Evenings and the colder months suit it best. Its strongest accords on Fragrantica are leather, warm spicy and oud, all of which feel rich in cold air and can be heavy on a hot day.

What’s a cheaper alternative to Al Qiam Gold?

Lattafa Oud Mood Reminiscence Silver also combines raspberry, saffron and oud at a lower price, though without Al Qiam Gold’s leather heart.
