Lattafa Art of Arabia III 100ml EDP – A Sweet, Smoky Amber Oriental
Lattafa Art of Arabia III is a rich ambery-oriental Eau de Parfum built around syrupy dates, dry tobacco leaf and a resinous vanilla drydown. Released in 2023 as part of the premium Lattafa Pride line, this is the full-size 100ml bottle — 100% authentic and dispatched within 24 hours. If you have been searching for Lattafa Art of Arabia III in the UK, this is one of the warmest, heaviest scents in the whole Pride range.
The Scent Profile
Top — Bergamot, Davana, Frankincense. Bright citrus lifts a fruity-herbal davana note, while smoky frankincense (olibanum) gives the opening real weight from the first spray.
Heart — Dates, Tuberose, Tobacco, Sandalwood. This is the signature stage — sticky, jammy dates and creamy tuberose over dry tobacco leaf and smooth sandalwood.
Base — Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Labdanum, Myrrh, Patchouli. A deep resinous amber drydown — vanilla and tonka sweetness wrapped in labdanum, myrrh and earthy patchouli.
What It Actually Smells Like
Think dried fruit and pipe tobacco over a thick, resin-heavy amber. It opens sharper and smokier than you expect from the sweet notes on paper, then softens over the first hour into something closer to a boozy, ambery dessert with a dark smoky edge behind it. It smells considerably more expensive than it costs, which is the usual reason people reach for the Pride line.
How It Compares
Art of Arabia III is an original Lattafa Pride composition, not a designer clone — so we will not attach a false dupe claim to it. That said, if you already enjoy sweet tobacco-and-vanilla ambers, this sits in familiar territory. Within the Pride line itself it is much sweeter and more resinous than the woody Art of Wood or the fresh Art of Universe, and darker than the fruity-rose Art of Nature I.
One thing worth clearing up: several retailers list this with saffron, rose and oud. Those note lists are copy-and-paste boilerplate. The actual pyramid is the dates, tobacco and resin structure above.
Performance & When To Wear
Wearers typically report 6–10 hours of longevity with above-average projection — the labdanum, myrrh and tonka base is what does the heavy lifting. It is very much an autumn and winter fragrance, and best after dark. Two sprays is plenty; three will fill a room. Performance always varies with skin type and how the bottle has been stored.
Who It’s For & Styling
Unisex, but it leans warm and heavy rather than fresh or light, so it suits anyone who already wears sweet ambers, tobacco scents or Arabian orientals. It works for evenings, dinners, weddings and cold-weather daily wear. It is not an office or summer scent — it is too loud for both.

How long does Art of Arabia III last?
Most wearers report 6–10 hours with above-average projection. The heavy resin and tonka base gives it strong staying power, though performance varies with skin.
Is Art of Arabia III for men or women?

Is Art of Arabia III a dupe of another fragrance?
