If I had known about Velvet Oud before Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather, I would have saved $125. The original Ombre Leather (2016) had out-of-this-world performance, but the new version (the black round bottle from 2018) performs much less. Velvet Oud is clearly inspired by it: it’s more unisex, less dense than the original, but no less noticeable. It feels subtle and refined, yet its olfactory power is perceptible; it seems like the scent sticks in the nostrils, which is very satisfying. Although similar to Tom Ford, it’s more delicate, silky, and avoids being harsh. It has comparable performance and longevity. It’s a safe and winning purchase. If you don’t have Ombre Leather or you’re looking for quality leather without spending too much, this is for you. It fits perfectly on men and women without carrying gender stereotypes. Ideal for fresh or cold night weather. Scent 9.0, good projection (well noticed for 2 hours), 8 hours on skin. Recommended.
Personally, when I read a review on Fragrantica or search for it on YouTube, I don’t want them to tell me the notes, because I can read that myself; what I want is for them to tell me their experience with that perfume in case it helps me. Well: Today I took the elevator in my office at 7:55 AM. Around 10:30 AM, the mailman came up, and when he entered, the first thing he said was if I had gone up before him. The public employee, about 50 years old, was surprised by the smell in the elevator, and upon finding it on me, he asked about the fragrance. The bad part is that this type of perfume is hard to get for those who only buy in department store perfumeries, so I advised him to buy it on eBay, just in case it arrives, since in the Canary Islands, customs often don’t let perfumes from the East pass. This proves its projection and that it’s a fragrance people like. I wear it whenever I feel like it, but maybe in summer it could be a bit overwhelming. I find it similar to Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather, although Velvet Oud could be the unrefined, rougher brother, the one born of the same mother and father.
Unlike technical reviews that just list notes, I’m looking for real experiences. Today, at 7:55 AM, I took the elevator, and by 10:30 AM, the mailman came in asking if I’d been up there before. He was so surprised by the scent he asked about the fragrance. I told him it’s hard to find in department stores and recommended eBay, warning him that customs in the Canary Islands often block perfumes from the East. This proves its projection and that people like it. I wear it when I want to, though in summer it can be a bit strong. It reminds me of Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather; Velvet Oud is like its rougher, unrefined brother, but from the same parents.
By far one of the best fragrances I’ve tried lately. It’s rich, delicious, and has a fruity touch. It lasts on me at least 12 hours and more. I bought it blind and have no regrets; I’m already looking for my second bottle. It’s a masterpiece.
I think Afnan’s Velvet Oud and Rare Carbon are very similar: Velvet Oud has white florals and a sweeter touch, but it has nothing to do with Tom Ford Ombre Leather. As for Ombre Leather, it’s missing that authentic green leather vibe; in Rare Carbon, the rose dominates everything, and in Velvet Oud, it’s barely noticeable. If you like the original Ombre Leather, buy it, because these two won’t satisfy that craving.
I’m fascinated by the scent; it’s one of my favorites. The only downside is that the sillage isn’t as strong as I expected. After two hours, it drops noticeably.
It’s a real gem; I bought it recently and it’s a rich leather, not as polished as Ombre Leather, but more like Tuscan Leather. It’s crazy, intoxicating beyond belief. At first, it’s a bit rough, opening with citrus-floral and leather in the background, but as it dries, the leather becomes the protagonist, shining splendidly with dark nuances but without becoming overly complex. I don’t sense oud, or at least I don’t perceive it. The longevity is more than good, 12 hours on skin, projecting about 5 feet. Overall, it’s a 10 out of 10 for the price, totally recommended. Scent: 9/10, Longevity: 8.8/10, Projection: 9/10, Price: 10/10. Unbeatable for the price, it’s a delight.
It’s a gem. I bought it and it’s an incredibly rich leather—less polished than Ombre Leather, more akin to Tuscan Leather. It’s insane, intoxicating. At first, it’s rough, opening with citrus-floral and leather in the background, then leather becomes the star: splendid, with dark nuances but not overly complex. No oud, or at least I don’t detect it. Lasts over 12 hours on skin with about 5 hours of projection. Overall, a 10 for the price. Totally recommended. Scent: 9/10, Longevity: 8.8/10, Projection: 9/10, Price: 10/10. Unbeatable, it’s a treat.
Elegant leather, not rough. A perfect blend of masculine, smoky, and citrus-floral-amber notes. A delight. Lattafa is always consistent, but this lasts over 12 hours. I sprayed it at 9 AM, and by 9 PM my husband could still smell it; by the next day, my pajama shirt smelled sweeter. Reminded me of LV’s Ombre Nomade. The downside is that not everyone likes it. Projection is beastly for the first 4 hours, then stays in your bubble for another 4. Versatile, ideal for night, but also works for day if you want to add some seriousness.
How does this leather smell? Like gasoline, varnish, or Brut Nature sparkling wine?
Well, I bought this perfume a couple of days ago and I feel obliged to review it. My opinion is that at first, I perceive citrus and floral notes along with very present leather, plus wood and amber. As minutes and hours pass, an undeclared red fruit note appears on Fragrantica that makes it resemble fragrances like Tom Ford Tuscan Leather or Rasasi La Yuqawam, especially from a distance; up close, you notice more the leather, wood, and softened amber. Many people compare it to Ombre Leather, but since I haven’t tried it, I can’t comment. It’s very good, definitely an elegant and sophisticated fragrance, something unisex, very little in my opinion; I don’t consider it at all strictly feminine, despite being categorized as such here. I can’t imagine a woman using a scent like this. Longevity on my skin should be easily around 10 hours, with moderate to heavy projection. If you like Tuscan Leather or La Yuqawam, you might consider this. Is it identical? No. Does it resemble it? Yes, it has a resemblance. Price-quality? Absolutely. Blind buy? If you’re a leather lover and you like fragrances between Ombre Leather and Tuscan Leather with fruity, floral, leather, wood, and amber touches, you definitely should have it.
Bought a few days ago and reviewed: starts with citrus, florals, and leather, then settles into wood and amber. There’s an undeclared red fruit note that makes it reminiscent of Tuscan Leather or La Yuqawam, especially from a distance. Up close, leather, wood, and a soft amber take over. People compare it to Ombre Leather, but I haven’t tried that one. It’s elegant, sophisticated, and not really unisex—it doesn’t feel feminine at all. Lasts about 10 hours with heavy projection. If you like Tuscan or La Yuqawam, consider this. It’s not identical, but it’s very similar. Unbeatable price-to-quality ratio. Blind buy if you enjoy leather with fruity, floral, and amber touches.
Bought blind and I have mixed feelings. It’s elegant with masculine notes, the leather comes through well, but after hours it turns sweet and feminine. I get that it’s unisex, but it’s hard to see on a man. The good thing is it lasts and projects a lot, even if it’s abrasive. I expected something else, but depending on what you’re looking for, I do recommend it.
I bought this perfume blind today and honestly, I have mixed feelings. While it is an elegant fragrance with recognizable notes for a masculine character perfume (especially the leather note that feels great at the opening and in the mid-phase), after a few hours, for me, a somewhat sweet aroma predominates that tends to be related to feminine perfumes. I understand why it’s a unisex perfume, but I struggle to think of an appropriate context for a man to wear it. The positive is that the perfume has exceptional intensity and longevity; with a single spray, it feels incredibly strong and intense, which can be a bit abrasive, but for those looking for something like that, it’s perfect. And its longevity is quite prolonged. The opening note feels like leather alongside a slightly spicy note, like ‘spicy’ in the nose, while after hours, the sweeter notes take over. Honestly, I expected something else, but it was my mistake, so it is a perfume I would recommend depending on what the person is looking for.
I don’t know what the original smells like, but this Lattafa one smells bad. It reminds me of an air freshener mixed with an old lady’s perfume.
Smells terrible. I imagine an Arab, nothing Western. Literally smells awful.
Hard and juicy fruit aroma. The opening is a spiced, fresh punch, but in a room full of leather and sweaty men. It has an animalic musk note that makes it dirty and rough. It’s the perfume for hard sex. Not bad if you like leather, even if it’s hypocritical to say you like it but it doesn’t suit you.
It’s a beast for night wear, very close to Tom Ford Ombre Leather but with more punch. Watch out, it can give you a headache and smells more like the Amber & Leather clone than the original. If you want an exact match, forget this; if you want leather with longevity, it’s a hit.
Great scent. If you pay attention, it smells of intense, sharp tamarind. Then it almost transforms into Tuscan Leather. Honestly, I didn’t find that much resemblance to Tom Ford Ombré Leather; in my opinion, it’s elegant, not very versatile, and long-lasting, but I wouldn’t recommend it for enclosed spaces like an office or living room. Don’t expect general compliments from a perfume like this. Maybe if they ask what you smell like. That’s just my opinion. Everyone use it as they please. Cheers!
Lattafa makes good fragrances, both original and clones, but I notice that a large part of their catalog smells very similar. Velvet Oud unfortunately falls into that trap. Watch out; I’m not saying it’s bad, quite the opposite, it simply has nothing to characterize it outside of the crowd.
They gifted it to me, and it’s not a bad perfume, but it’s not for blind buying. If you like leather, it’s for you. It’s hard to wear; better outdoors; don’t even think about wearing it at the office or in enclosed spaces. Today I sprayed one, and it’s giving me dizziness and nausea (just me), but my son and mother-in-law find it pleasant on the back of the neck. Be careful with the sprays and test before buying.
All in all, it’s a decent inspiration for Tom Ford’s Ombré Leather, but only at the beginning; then it diverges. It has marked notes of leather and smoky wood, which I like, but be careful with the sprays; it can be very invasive. It’s not expensive, with excellent value for money. I agree with many: don’t buy it blindly, but if you like leather, it deserves a spot in your collection. Lattafa has surprised with many affordable and long-lasting creations.
I tried it and didn’t like it. I wanted to give it a shot, but it didn’t convince me. Maybe if someone gifted it to me. It has a great price (I saw it for $10-20; in Chile, it costs about 15,000-20,000 pesos). It’s one of the cheapest I’ve seen, but the opening doesn’t work for me. Oh, it’s compared to Tom Ford Ombré Leather… no joke, that’s one of my favorites. It sets the bar way too high for Velvet Oud, and honestly, this one leaves a lot to be desired… it only shares notes like leather, wood, and strength. You know where I categorize this bargain.
It doesn’t resemble Ombré Leather at all. Velvet Oud is drier, smokier, and harder. The other one gets cloying. Tom Ford earns compliments; this one doesn’t. I prefer Velvet Oud; it’s more masculine, serious, and distinct.
Definitely not for me. It feels overwhelming and even gave me a headache. I know there are trained noses, but these scents go beyond that. I believe people force themselves to like them just for the hype or to feel interesting. Don’t buy blindly.
It’s dark and potent, not my style. It projects better from a distance than up close. I think it will only attract compliments from men, not women.
Lattafa’s Velvet Oud is unisex, blending warm oud with spices and woods beautifully. It starts strong with leather, reminiscent of Ombré Leather, but then evolves into something more exotic and mysterious with rich oud and sweet labdanum. The opening is similar, but the heart and dry down are more oriental, featuring cardamom and cedar, making it unique. It lasts over 8 hours with moderate projection, perfect for day and night. Its smoky-sweet blend makes it versatile and seductive without being an exact clone of Tom Ford. It stands on its own, offering luxury at a great price. Ideal for lovers of sweet and spicy oud. Enjoy!
Lattafa’s Velvet Oud is a unisex fragrance that masterfully combines the warmth of oud with subtle spice touches and woody nuances. Its opening is bold, with a strong leather note that could remind you of Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather, but as it evolves, Velvet Oud follows its own path. After that smoky and leathered start, the fragrance dives into a more exotic and mysterious territory, thanks to the rich oud and the sweet, warm touches of labdanum. While the opening bears some resemblance to Ombre Leather, the heart and dry down diverge, taking a more oriental profile with notes of cardamom and cedar that make it feel much more unique. The longevity of Velvet Oud is impressive, easily surpassing 8 hours, with moderate projection, perfect for both day and night. Its blend of woody and smoky tones, combined with a slightly sweet finish, ensures this fragrance is versatile and seductive, though don’t expect an exact clone of the Tom Ford creation. Velvet Oud stands on its own, offering a luxurious and seductive olfactory experience at an accessible price. Ideal for those who enjoy oud-based perfumes with a sweet and spicy twist, Velvet Oud is an excellent addition to any fragrance collection. Enjoy it!
I know nothing about Tuscan Leather or Ombré Leather, but I tried this at a perfume shop and absolutely loved it. It smells luxurious and sophisticated.
The first thing I notice is the rose in the opening. Luckily, it fades, becoming more masculine and leaving a smoky leather trail. It’s not a clone of Ombré Leather; now everything with leather is called a clone, but this isn’t one. It’s a lot of leather, but down a different path. Edit: I have to correct myself. After a few months without using it and trying it again, I verified the magic of maturation. It’s 100% Ombré Leather; impossible to tell them apart.
It’s not a scent I enjoy; the only good thing is the longevity and projection, it soaks into everything. I understand it’s a clone of Tom Ford’s Ombré Leather, I haven’t tried it, but if it smells like this, I don’t have good expectations…
It smells like walking into a hospital room where time stopped in 1994. From the first spray, it hits with old disinfectant, sweaty plastic, and boiled sheets. Longevity? Brutal, unfortunately brutal. One application and it follows you all day like a bad memory. The worst part: it projects desperately to traumatize others. It’s not a fragrance; it’s a sensory trauma. Does anyone like it? Maybe a nostalgic nurse or someone with a morbid affinity. If you’re looking to smell sexy, fresh, or bearable, run. Verdict: 10/10 on longevity, 0/10 on desire to return. A gem if your goal is to smell like a forgotten operating room.
It’s not a bad fragrance as some say. I don’t know what they expect for $15. For the price, it’s a great buy. Good longevity and smells nice. The rest is just filler.
Velvet Oud by Lattafa ★★★☆☆. Who said Arabic perfumes are just medicinal oud and cobbler leather? Velvet Oud tries to be that, but also a velvet blanket, a vintage jacket, and a bad joke with sweet spice breath. Spoiler: it doesn’t pull it off gracefully, but it tries hard. It smells like leather jacket left forgotten in the trunk in Dubai, amber and smoke filtered through an expensive ashtray, and something wild and sweaty trying to hug you. The oud is there, of course. It’s like an grandma without flip-flops. Warm and spicy opening, but that freshness lasts less than your will to live after reading forums. The best part is the criticism: the opening is so potent you can clear a room or revive childhood memories with two sprays. There’s leather, but not the elegant kind from Tom Ford (comparing TF to Lattafa is like comparing a Ferrari to a neon donkey). This leather is green, like if the bottle was made of 70s sofa scraps. And I still don’t get what alien pH level people have who swear it smells like honey, pomegranate, or Tuscan Leather. It doesn’t smell like that. It smells like an ambitious attempt with one foot in cheap luxury and the other in a puddle of misdirected ambition. That said, it lasts longer than your last serious relationship. Projection is ballistic missile level—great if you’re alone, disastrous if you’re in an elevator with innocent victims. In short: it screams ‘I’m intense’ in seven languages with a weird accent. You’ll like it if you enjoy olfactory chaos with green leather and a hint of ‘I don’t care.’ Should I buy it? Only if you want something different, powerful, and don’t mind that some might think you walked out of a spice shop with a chained tiger.
Don’t judge or review Arabic perfumes right out of the box; they all smell terrible at first. You have to let them mature for months. Even Club de Nuit Iconic, which everyone said was delicious the first time and I almost returned, turned out to be amazing after a few months.
I absolutely hate this scent; it seems made for people over 50.
I liked it, but I’m waiting for it to mature before updating my review. Right now, the Fragrantica notes don’t match up. I’m missing the violet, which is listed on the official Lattafa website and is what I smell the most. Does anyone else smell violet caramel from those typical Madrid perfumes? For me, that’s almost the only thing. I can’t get enough of it.
I love it! It smells like a tomb. That’s exactly what Michael Jackson would smell like while dancing to Thriller.
Smells strongly of leather with great projection and longevity. The only downside is that after a while, it starts smelling like cocaine.
