Raghba

I like Raghba, but I think this is one perfume that just dont work for me in the summer. It is almost like 2 different perfumes depending on season. As a female I enjoy it only when it is cold outside. Maybe it different for a male.

I love this one so much. It's suck a stunning sugary spiced vanilla. I will forever keep this in my collection. I am on my second bottle.

Tiktok told me not to blind buy it, but I love incense so I bought it. It just has a faint vanilla with the dry down of incense and a little bit of sugar. I don't know what to associate with the scent but it smells unique.

Do yourself a favor do not buy this fragrance. It Smells NASTY. I get the sweet note, not too sweet mixed in with - I know this might sound weird, but it smells like what dog feet smells like when they haven’t been washed for a while. Musty, with some Cheetos and a dash of poop thrown in there. I gave it 2 months for it to macerate (as the brand sometimes has an issue with this). Somehow it has gotten worse! Yeah it was pretty cheap and I thought I’d give it a shot since I don’t have anything in my collection that has these notes. Do. Not. Buy.

This is a very linear scent that I got gifted but I did like it. Vanilla, a bit sweet and woody incense. Unique but nice, kind of reminds me of being in a log cabin with a vanilla candle burning. Except I haven’t worn it for about a year (I don’t tend to reach for it) and I have sprayed it now and don’t smell anything so I will probably declutter :( idk what happened to it cause it used to be strong but I can legit smell nothing now, super weird. A great cheapie though you can’t go wrong - I’d say it’s unisex too but for a man who likes sweeter scents.

This perfume is lovely, it has all the right notes for a perfume that I will love until the drydown and I smell the fabric elastoplast plasters. Weird, a beautiful fragrance before this hits. Sad.

I decided to explore several Lattafa Perfumes after blind-buying "Teriaq Intense" and really liking it. I wasn't quite sure where to begin. So, I purchased several of Lattafa's most hyped fragrances. Out of the numerous Lattafa Perfumes I purchased, "Artisan Ethnique" is by far my favorite. Raghba and Artisan Ethnique are the two most feminine-leaning fragrances I experienced, although I refrain from gender categorizing perfumes. Some people say Raghba and Artisan Ethnique are similar. And while there are similarities between the two fragrances, there are distinct differences as well especially in the base notes, or dry-downs. On my skin, Raghba unfolds with boozy vanilla, sugar, a bit of woodiness and musk. I detect a wee-bit of powderiness in the dry down, which makes Raghba decidedly more feminine than many of the other Lattafa perfumes I purchased. The addition of oud wood grounds Raghba with a bit of an earthy, animalic accord. Yet, the oud wood is never overpowering, or super-present. To me, Raghba wears linear and vanilla-dominant start-to-finish. I like Raghba but I greatly prefer Artisan Ethnique. AE is more complex, more interesting.

Literally just a sweet vanilla incense fragrance. Very simple and linear, nothing crazy about it. Smell is nuclear though, just one spray and for 2 days my whole living room smelt as if i lighted incense there regularly. Great for layering, or if you enjoy the whimsy/hippie vibe. 7/10🖤

Picture this: You are a ritualist in a dark room. The incense fills the air and sinks into the fabric of your gown. The white candles have a soft vanilla scent. In the mirror is a pale face you do not recognize as your own. Their eyes are empty, yet full of every memory you have. They do not want to harm you. Yet, they will haunt you in your dreams and your peripheral vision. (TL;DR: ritual but with vanilla candles) (edit: WHAT are they putting in this thing, it has a very weird effect on people???)

What a sleeper scent, I don't know why more people aren't talking about this scent. Well actually I know why more people aren't talking about it, the oud and incense can be off setting for some on initial spray, but this is blended so well. The oud & incense hit you from the get go - very middle eastern but the dry down is so musky with vanilla and sandalwood. It is definitely an acquired taste.

It’s a harsh in the opening but the dry down is quite similar to Bouquet Ideale but not until the dry down.

Okay with full honesty,i bought this cause a friend told me this smelled like kayali,but better longevity and for third of the price and i got so excited and bought it immediately. Needless to say it doesn’t smell like kayali in my opinion,Kayali is more warm like vanilla extract but ragbha is more leaning towards vanilla oud/bakhoor incense and like smokiness. Rabgha lowkey smell like a spoon of vanilla syrup dropped onto like burning wood it’s like sweet at first then smoky and heavy like bakhoor filling up a room quick

the first 20min i was like…. no! too synthetic childish sweet but then it transformed into one of the most literal approximations of real amber resin you buy at the healthfoods store . very musky, not a rugged oud, not a plain vanilla, mostly incense/amber . i think of this as the chea version of Opium YSL just a bit .

It smells like very realistic santal incense I often light... Like it literally smells like it. The vanilla is nice and rounded with the sweet oud. Delicious and lasting!

Hard for my nose to get used to. But not bad enough to declutter. Still unsure. Not safe a safe blind buy.

This is a very unapologetically middle eastern fragrance. I wish my nose got what so many others have. I wouldn't call this sticky sweet or vanillic. There is some sweetness but mostly it is filled with spices, oud, slightly dung leaning and loads of musk. It does lean a little BO for me. I have moments where I think it's nice and others where I am totally put off. I can grasp some sweetness for a moment and then its gone and I think of sweaty men. Something about the dry down smells a bit like saliva to me as well. I'm making it sound absolutely devastating but clearly some people do love it. Maybe one day more sweetness will come out but I'll probably just destash it before I get there

This is really nice. A good sweet vanilla option for someone who likes a little deepness. Definitely has a prominent incense & oud-y layer. It's very warm, brown sugar, midnight mass, baking for Christmas-y vibe!!!

Typical Arabic perfume vibes — it really grosses me out. Strange sweetness mixed with low-quality oud. I couldn’t stand it and ended up giving it to someone. Total headache-inducer! تیپیکال عطرای عربی،خیلی بد بو. شیرینی عجیب با بوی عود کیفیت پایین. نمیتونستم تحملش کنم و دادمش ب یکی سردرد اور و وحشتناک👎🏻

Synthetic oud, synthetic junk! I hate this one, it’s toooo sweet, as if I added loads of sugar to some chemical concoction. It’s one of the worst fragrance my nose have ever smelled although I am a big fan of Oud, incense and vanilla.

I don’t know if I got a bad batch or what but off of the first sprays, to me it smelled like sweet vanilla covering up the smell of trash juice. It definitely took a minute to get used to it but the musk does not appeal to me at all!! I thought it was just me but I made my mom smell it too and she’s not a big fan either. I see how some people enjoy it though.

It's my first time wearing Raghba this winter and to be honest, I forgot about it given all the new scents I've acquired in the last year, so this evening I thought feck it, I'll wear it! This scent is stunning to me, it's sweet vanilla, sugar and incense with a hint of woodiness. I can understand people thinking it's too cloying but the dry down of this perfume is where the magic is. After about 40 minutes, it just becomes this beautifully sweet and warm hug of a perfume. It's doesn't have a huge amount of dept to it but I think that's fine, it's perfect for a cozy comforting scent. Now I must also state that I live alone and haven't worn this around people so I'm unsure if it may be considered an assault to the senses to others but for me, sitting in front of the fire, reading, on a cold rainy night in Ireland, this perfume does something for my soul. If you like sweet, incense scents with a slight woody accord, this is one to definitely try.

It’s dark sugar, sticky incense, woody oud, and a slightly animalic edge. Loud on fabric, unapologetically Middle Eastern. Cheap price, bold attitude, zero people-pleasing.

Sugar+Oud+Incense. Quite beautiful and straightforward, very Arabian. Oud scents like these are other-worldly, very earthy and intoxicating. A cheaper version on Kalemat by Arabian Oud, but quality is surprisingly good. 100 thousand percent worth buying. As one reviewer stated, not everything that good needs to cost the earth! If antiques wore perfumes, this would be it!

Very vanilla and heavy spices and incence. It's rich and wonderfully strong and lasts for ever on cloths. The next day though all that's left is the harsher parts of the intence no vanilla but the day you put it on is amazing

Raghba is a sticky frankincense fragrance. Everyone saying vanilla this and vanilla that is confusing me. This isnt a sweet fragrance. Its spicy. Its masculine smoke and frankincense. Maybe a bit of vanilla in the backdrop. The oud is prominent enough to make the frankincense smell a bit like b.o. and a bit like musty closet. Its a animalic spicy scent to my nose. Smells good on my husband (because it matches well with sweat). I can see this being a hot goth fragrance but if youre looking for vanilla sweet cinnamon roll as some have said, stay far away. This smells like a dirty priest.

Something in this is smelling like spit, I'm not sure if it's the musk or oud but it's revolting to me. I get the same note from KayAli VCRS but it's super strong here.

Very very VERY similar to the latest formulation of 24 Gold. 95% similar or more. In blind testing between the two I could not reliably pick them apart and that's with 24 Gold being iny top 5 since I first smelled it. It's way more similar to 24 Gold than Kalemat is. Kalemat is similar but has a different texture, a bit more suede smooth instead of woody creamy. Anyhow, just putting this out there for fans of the more recent formulations of 24 Gold. You can safely pick up Kalemat as an alternative. Even longevity and sillage are essentially the same (8 hours or so on each with moderate to good projection for a couple hours)

I describe this fragrance as Angel's Share and Oud Wood but with nuanced notes of vanilla and oud. The vanilla and brown sugar notes develop over the span of several hours.

*EDIT - UPDATE* Almost two weeks later, with daily use of this perfume, I have to give an update: the projection is ZERO, the longevity is 1/10. A disaster! I’m very disappointed. When I opened it for the first time, the whole room smelled of the perfume. But on me, it just doesn’t work. I don’t know, maybe it’s my skin. I even tried applying it over lotion beforehand, but nothing helped. Unfortunately, it’s unusable. I just received my package with this perfume. I bought it very cheaply: a box with the 100 ml fragrance and a deodorant (50 ml, I think... it’s small). I was a bit worried because it was a blind buy. But… wow. This is a total hit for me! A perfect match! Here’s what I felt after the first spray (and yes- I sprayed only once, on my left wrist): before spraying, when I opened the cap — a sweetness that reminded me of Angels’ Share. I sprayed it, and suddenly-that incense vibe, just like the incense sticks I burn in my room to relax. The vanilla is there, but gently. Sugar-of course, it’s sweet. The sandalwood stays in the background, holding the balance together with the musk. This is beautiful for these pre-holiday and holiday days, before and during Christmas and New Year. It smells like winter sweet desserts… I feel like drinking it like juice. For such little money, I got a real perfume bomb.
