Lattafa
Opulent Oud
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.
