Lattafa Opulent Oud — front-facing product bottle

Opulent Oud

Inspired alternative

Opulent Oud may appeal for Oud Royal's saffron and resinous woods, with citrus adding brightness at the start. Caramel and vanilla give the alternative a sweeter outline through the middle and base. Patchouli adds earthiness, while Oud Royal gives rose and incense a more explicit role.
