Lattafa Ramaad Al Oud — Blackcurrant, Raspberry and Musk
Ignore the name for a moment. Lattafa Ramaad Al Oud Eau de Parfum 100ml is a soft, sweet fruity-floral rather than a smoky oud: tart blackcurrant, bergamot and freesia opening onto orange blossom and raspberry, finishing on patchouli, musk, vanilla and lingering red fruit. Pretty, comfortable and easy to wear. Full-size bottle, 100% authentic and dispatched from the UK.
Read the name carefully. Ramaad Al Oud translates roughly as “ashes of oud”, but this is not a heavy agarwood fragrance. It is a sweet, berry-led floral with a musky vanilla base. If you want genuine smoky oud, look at Lattafa Badee Al Oud Honor & Glory instead.

Lattafa Ramaad Al Oud Fragrance Notes
Tart and slightly green. Blackcurrant brings that familiar sharp berry bite, bergamot lifts it, and freesia adds a watery floral softness so the opening never becomes sour.
The prettiest stage. Creamy orange blossom rounds off the tartness and raspberry turns the fruit jammy and warm — sweet without ever becoming syrupy.
Clean and cosy. Patchouli gives a light earthy grip, musk keeps it soft and skin-like, and vanilla with a residue of red fruit carries the sweetness through to the end.
What Does Lattafa Ramaad Al Oud Smell Like?
Berries and blossom over clean musk. Sweet, soft and immediately recognisable as a modern fruity-floral — the sort of scent people describe as smelling expensive and fresh at the same time.
The opening is the sharpest part: blackcurrant and bergamot give a bright, almost fizzy first impression with freesia keeping it delicate. Within twenty minutes the raspberry and orange blossom arrive, and the fragrance turns rounder, jammier and more feminine — this middle stage is where it is at its most attractive and it holds for a good couple of hours. The drydown is where it quietens down: patchouli, musk and vanilla with a thread of red fruit still running through, warm and clean rather than heavy. There is no smoke, no agarwood and nothing dark about it, despite what the name suggests. What you get is a comfortable, sweet, wearable floral that sits close to the skin by the end of the day.
Performance and How to Wear It
- Longevity: around 6–8 hours on skin. The musk and vanilla base outlasts the fruit comfortably, and it holds on well on clothing.
- Projection: moderate in the first hour or two, then it becomes a skin scent. Pleasant company rather than an announcement.
- Sprays: two to three for everyday wear, four if you want a noticeable trail. It is forgiving and hard to overdo.
- Season: spring and autumn suit it best. It works in summer too; only deep winter leaves it feeling a little thin.
- Occasion: everyday, work, university, casual daytime. An easy first Lattafa and a safe gift.
Our Lattafa Ramaad Al Oud Review
Wearability. The blackcurrant-to-raspberry transition is smooth, the orange blossom stops the berries turning into boiled sweets, and the musky vanilla drydown is genuinely comforting. At this price it is a very low-risk buy and one of the easiest fragrances in the Lattafa range to hand to someone new to the brand.
Two things. The name is genuinely misleading — buyers expecting an oud will feel short-changed, and that is on the packaging rather than the juice. Beyond that, the composition itself is safe to the point of anonymity: blackcurrant, raspberry and clean musk is one of the most crowded accords on the market, and Ramaad Al Oud does not do anything with it that you have not smelled before.
Verdict: a pretty, inoffensive everyday fruity-floral that does its job well — provided you buy it for what it is rather than for what the word “oud” on the bottle implies.
Lattafa Ramaad Al Oud FAQs
What does Lattafa Ramaad Al Oud smell like?
Sweet berries and soft flowers. Blackcurrant, bergamot and freesia open it, orange blossom and raspberry form a jammy heart, and patchouli, musk, vanilla and red fruits finish it warm and clean.
Is Ramaad Al Oud actually an oud fragrance?
No, and this is the single most important thing to know before buying. Despite the name it is a fruity-floral with a musky vanilla base, not a smoky agarwood scent.
Is Lattafa Ramaad Al Oud long-lasting?
Around 6–8 hours on skin and longer on clothing. Projection is moderate at first and close to the skin afterwards.
Is Ramaad Al Oud a dupe of another perfume?
No. It is an original Lattafa composition rather than a clone of a designer scent. It sits in the widely worn berry-and-musk fruity-floral style, but it is not a copy of any particular fragrance.
Is it for men or women?
It leans feminine, but it is sweet and clean rather than overtly floral-girly, so it wears comfortably unisex for anyone who likes berry fragrances.
What size does it come in?
This listing is the 100 ml / 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum spray, the full-size bottle.
