Ra'ed Luxe

Lattafa Ra'ed Luxe surprised me in a good way. It opens with a playful bubblegum vibe backed by juicy watermelon and pineapple, but don't let that fool you TBH it's not a candy bomb. The sweetness settles quickly into a much more balanced fragrance. The heart brings in juniper, lavender, sage, and a touch of white florals, giving it a fresh barbershop feel with a modern twist. The dry down is where it really shines: smooth woods with a sweet musky, almost white sandalwood character that keeps it masculine without becoming heavy. It reminds me of a cross between Coach Open Road and Halloween Man Mystery, borrowing the best parts of both while carving out its own identity. The scent is fairly complex, masculine, and well-blended, though I can easily see a confident woman pulling it off too. Performance is respectable, lasting around 6 hours on clothes. Overall, this is a refreshing, easy-to-wear fragrance that's perfect for summer, daytime, the office, or even the gym. If you like sweet fresh fragrances that don't scream for attention, Ra'ed Luxe is definitely worth checking out.

The bad reviews are typically from guys who overpaid for Dolce & Gabbana ‘K’ or hate clones. Don’t listen to them. I picked this up for $20 and it smells 95% the same as Dolce & Gabbana ‘K’ with far better performance. This one goes on strong and has a heavy sillage initially, with very good projection. It’s a fresh, aquatic scent with a spicy pimento and peppery undertone. The dry down is a blue, spicy ozonic bubble that stays with you and on your clothes all day. Very unique scent, and smells pretty awesome. This one lasts easily 8+hours with 8-10 sprays, and has good performance for a ridiculously low price. If you changed the name and put a $150 price on it, you would think it’s a niche brand. You can buy 5 bottles of this for the price of one bottle of Dolce & Gabbana ‘K’, and this performs much better. Highly recommended.

Im very surprised that many people complain about this one. I have two theories. 1) Ra'Ed Silver Apparently it is a great fragrance that is very reminiscent of Cedrat Boise de Mancera and that generates a huge aura of expectation towards Ra'Ed Lux. 2) This does not smell like DG's K, in output and in drying it is almost a decal from Sauvage EDT, and I say a decal because the olfactory elements are there but in a different way, since many people hate and hate Sauvage, the bad review is possible. And I don't understand indiscriminate hatred because it's a great fragrance. If Dior decided one day to make a more "tropical" "morning" "fresh" version of Sauvage, it would smell like this. It has a very decent duration, decent drying, decent aroma. And for his price? It is a cheapie

Blind buy safe! Great daily driver for a morning / work fragrance. I will be wearing this a lot during the summer here in Chicago. Very smooth and well blended. Smells woody, clean, hint of something sweet almost like honey. Maybe a little barbershop in there. This is my first Lattafa fragrance and I must say for $31 this smells up there with my Tom Fords in quality. I didn't know you can buy fragrances THIS GOOD at this price. I'm definitely going to be buying more from this house. 9/10 good job lattafa. It's similar to other fresh smelling fragrances like D&G K, D&G Light Blue. I can promise you one thing for sure... if Tom Ford put this in a white bottle and called it (August Afternoon, Summer EDP) for $300 It would be sold out lol

I have both Ra'ed and D&G K and I can safely say that Ra'ed does smell like D&G K. It is extremely close. It is obviously not 100% K but at least a solid 90%. Very fresh, very clean, lovely fragrance. Performance is not bad for a fresh fragrance. I get about an 1 or 2 of subtle projection and about 4 to 5 longevity. Its not a beast mode fragrance or loud. Its a nice safe crowd pleasing scent. The price point of Lattafa fragrances is absolutely fantastic therefore having one of these fragrances is really not a train smash. I did a blind buy and i like this fragrance. I really wish it lasted longer and projected more.

It's a blind buy for me because most of the notes in here I like, also I tested the Ra'ed silver from a friend which was very nice but currently not available in my city and it lasted more than 8 hours and I knew this(Ra'ed Lux) would not disappoint and it didn't. I am happy with my purchase. It projects well and through out the day, I get compliments when wearing it so is my wife if she wears it. Lattafa has done an amazing work on this one it stays on my collection. It's a quality product & the price is well within my reach and we need more perfumes like this in S.A that don't break the budget.

Quite the fruity summer scent. Unisex and performs well. The note breakdown here is more accurate than the one posted on Lattafa's website (TOP: Bergamot, Lavender, HEART: Cardamom, Geranium, BASE: Patchouli, Cedarwood, Vanilla). There's watermelon here, specifically the yellow one. Never smelled that in a fragrance before. Ice note? not sure about that but what I'm picking is a "deep freezer" note, if that makes sense. I also have the silver Ra'ed (the better scent, imo) which is not listed on this website. They're totally different so watch out if you're buying.

I like this fragrance, fruity, citrusy, spicy, and clean shower gel vibe. Open up with citrus، pineapples، and yellow melons. Heart notes of spices، and faint lavender, and base composed of ice and ambroxan. I don't smell any vetiver، vanilla، strawberry, or chestnut. The only down side is the performance which is 1-1.5 hr projection and 2-3 hr longevity. The presentation is nice, also the price is affordable.

Lattafa Ra'ed Luxe This smells great, but I don't own the fragrances this reminds people of so I can't comment on that. The scent is good, the projection and longevity are good. The presentation is nice. Same with most Lataffas. Jomashop has it for 19 bucks on 5/17/2022. Its blind buy safe now, even if you don't like it you could give it to anyone else and they'd appreciate it and think you paid a lot more.

Dam, I smelled D&G K before but i didn't think much of it, but when I smelled this it stood out! It's identical to D&G K , tested a few times , but difference is this is slightly more explosive notes that stood out! It's incredible! Aromatic watermelon vibe, damn it's so good !!! Lasts long time too,, under 25$, it's a no-brainer , but the quality is wow !!

One of my favorite everyday any where scents. It gets me compliments almost everytime I wear it. It is very simular to D&G K edt. I think it's a tad deeper going to K edp. I also have the original K edt. The longevity last me 12 hrs on skin. Projection 6 to 8 hrs. Im almost out so I will be getting another bottle. Great fragrance at a phenomenal price.

very good dolce and gabbana k clone but improved! the scent will stay on my clothes until I wash them! don't be fooled I go nose blind to this pretty quickly until someone says you smell good 8 hours after applying it. I wear this to work everyday 90% of the time. its cheap, last long and everyone likes it!

I'll but this again for sure, identical to D&G K, i have both, but this is louder , it's better just by being louder as D&G sillage is sub average, , beautiful fruity aromatic, yet fresh too, aromatic like sauvage, fresh like invictus and fruity like lattafa sublime , blind buy safe!

This is a nice 'D&G K' clone. Opens up alcoholy but dries down to an aromatic, woody and fruity fragrance, I get more strawberry than pineapple in the mid. I prefer this to 'D&G K', because its also less sweet. Overall a good buy for the price and what you get for it. Worth trying.

Wow! This fragrance is incredible. It's so fresh and fruity at first with the watermelon and pineapple notes, but then it develops into this warm, spicy scent with cinnamon and sandalwood. It lasts all day long too! Definitely a new favorite.

This was one of my more nervous blond buys because I really like D&G K, but this smells so similar I'm very happy with the purchase. Sweet & Smooth

It smells great and very similar to K by D&G edt.

* Hybrid fruit, floral and woody fragrance * Layers out like a jawkbreaker candy with distinct opening, middle and drydown phases * Good blend of fruit, herbal, floral, spicy, woody, musky and vanilla notes * Prominent nots of watermelon, vanilla, sandalwood, musk and lavender * Good for all seasons * Good for all ages * Designer quality for discounter price * Great value * Underrated and underappreciated * Might lean too masculine for female users Lattafa's Ra'ed Luxe (also known as Ra'Ed Gold) is an original Lattafa fragrance that offers tremendous value. It's a hybrid fruit, floral and woody fragrance that layers out and unfolds like a jawkbreaker candy. It's got a distinctly fruity opening, a floral and herbal middle and lastly a creamy and spicy vanilla and sandalwood drydown. Prominent notes you'll be able to pick up are watermelon fruit, vanilla, sandalwood, musk and lavender. This is great for all ages and can be used in all seasons. It's marketed as unisex though some women may find it leans too masculine in the drydown. Quality is designer level offered at a discounter price. Deserves a lot more publicity than it gets this is very underrated and underappreciated. Very good stuff. Recommended.

This is a long lasting clone of D&G King edt/edp In my opinion this has a better blend than the fragrance it's copying and it's great value for the price This perfume has a LOT of notes as you can see, for me the proeminent ones are pineapple, watermelon and juniper, being fresh aromatic fruity with a little bit of sweetness, giving it a bubblegum effect which is pretty mass appealing Btw this is a compliment getter during spring, summer and the start of the fall/autumn season It lasts 6-7hrs on my skin and projects moderately I don't really like the bottle design but the atomizer is smoooth And seeing the reviews below, yes, maceration is mandatory to this fragrance to really bring up the best out of it. Lattafa Ra'ed Luxe: a clone fragrance, good blend but slightly synthetic, bubblegum-ish, good performance, uncomfortable bottle design, good for warmer days and it's versatile. I rarely wear it tho and it's a bit redundant to own if you got other bubblegum DNA fragrances. Ain't a fan of clones either. It's a good affordable pick. 7.75/10

A sweet berry-citrus fresh smell that holds a good background of lavender and florals in the background from finish till end. The scent is not memorable, rather makes you feel/look sharp for formal occasions where you don't necessarily want to make a statement. Projects moderately for the first 1-1.5 hours, post which it becomes a scent bubble. Longevity is moderate 4-5 hours on skin, maybe an hour or so longer on clothes. This is an overall great no-brainer grab for the office. A beautiful underrated concoction of sweet juniper berries with lavender, florals, citrus, and base musk. The chestnut gives off whiffs towards the end but does not hold power overall. I don't think the vanilla is a forward accord here which is brilliant because it makes this a perfectly sweet summer scent. Picked this up for <20$ and this shines in Indian weather conditions.

Hmmm? It's a pretty good freshie. It's not a ground breaking. I found nothing harsh at all about this fragrance. It's just a standard good freshie for warm weather. Also, while the notes are not the same it reminds me of Mercedes Benz for Men Cologne EDT. Raed Luxe doesn't list violet, but I swear I smell it, but just not as strong a MB for Men Cologne. Pretty similar too me. They're both good warm weather scents and both are around the same price. Notes listed on Fragrantica seem incorrect. Lattafa has it as.. Fragrance Notes Top Notes: Pineapple, Strawberries and Watermelon Middle Notes: Jasmine Flower, Aleilnj and Alvrizia Flowers Base Notes: Vetiver, Sandalwood, Amber and Musk Apparently Alvrizia flower (Albizia aka Silk Tree Blossom) does have a violet smell as part of its scent profile.

This perfume is a clone of D&G K. Its scent is stronger than the EDT and more closer to the EDP version. It can be considered as a version between EDT and EDP. Bllind buy is not a good decision even the price is rather low. The notes described on Fragrantica don't seem to accurately reflect what this perfume actually presents. Compared to the original version, the Pinmento note is quite strong, the scent is fairly linear, and it leans more on the masuline side. The longevity is around 4-6 hours on my skin. At a price of $30, this is a good choice if you guys can overlook the ugly bottle design.

This is Irish Spring, Coast, Zest, Lever 2000, B&BW Juniper Breeze, barbershop, Aqua Velva, Cremo and Caswell Massey. It definitely leans masculine but it is unisex. It may be a little on the screechy side but it still gives luxury, fine-milled soap and fresh, lush shaving foam. This is something that I would have to layer with a floral or amber fragrance. Or I might just give it to my husband. He loves clean, classic, vintage-inspired fragrances like this.

This is very nice, but it isn't very interesting. If someone new to fragrances wanted a safe signature scent this is very well blended for the price. I think people who do a lot of sniffing will think this is kind of boring. It is the type of scent one can gift to someone who isn't too deep into fragrance? I dunno, it's JUST NICE, kind of sweet, nothing not to like, but not very exciting imo. I got very cheap and I was hoping to smell the chestnut note:/

Compared to D&G K it is very synthetic, the alcoholic note and harsh citrus is very unrefined and strong imo. As a female this is a very masculine scent just like K but I love K and I like this too. The harsh alcohol is present in the opening lasts for about 5-10 minutes depending on how much you spray but when this settles, it’s brilliant. Woody a sweet musky white sandalwood-ish to my nose. It’s pleasant and I like it.

It's alright, to me this essentially smells like Coach Open Road which is already compared quite a bit to K, but more fruity (mostly a soft synthetic pineapple) and spicy in the opening and then drying down very peppery to the point that it's all you smell. Quite a linear fragrance and doesn't last more than about 5 hours on my skin but for $20 it's definitely not bad by any means.

Gave this fragrance to my little brother since I didn't like it that much when I bought i (3 months ago). When smelling it now on my wrist, it has developed really well. When I bought it, it was too harsh and too alcoholic but right now I get a much more balanced sweet barbershop fragrance. I like it a lot now, but it isn't anything mind blowing. Still a great cheapie tho.

Dolce and Gabbana K edt with better performance (after a period of maceration). I find the main note to be a sort of dry orange/grapefruit which I enjoy sniffing, but I would prefer the addition of a lighter, brighter, zestier and maybe sweeter citrus. I believe that would elevate this fragrance from okay to irresistible.

It is K DNA, but it is different. Kinda the same feeling, but will define after couple of months maceration. Currently fades out really quickly. In about two hours you no longer can smell it, even on clothes. Have both and can compare. Lattafa did a good job here, almost replicating it, but it is not the same.

Love this for real as it suits my corporate needs,not too heavy or loud,it's typical " blue kind of scent".I has to Reapply it once during the course of the day. Stays on clothes even after laundry. For me this is the best blind buy amongst the three Ra'ed Lattaffa,the others are Silver and Oud.

Do not listen to the bad reviews, its honestly pretty solid as an everyday. Its not too strong. The notes are pretty inaccurate i will say. Just think of it as just fresh and on the slightly sweeter side. I also have to admit the initial spray is pretty synthetic but the drydown is really good

This is a complete freshie. Day time or even club scent. It is honeydew melons, quite sweet but very, very subtle. You can over spray it safely. It lasts but no major performance. Maybe I need more time with it.

It is an excellent perfume for the price. Good performance and durability. A wonderful presentation. It really smells like K by Dolce & Gabbana. Overall rating 8/10.

Smells like sweat at the beginning and way too weak. I hope maceration fixes it i love the scent. Edit: 1 Month later and this smells amazing. But still a bit weak.

Big difference between D & G K EDT IMO. I mainly get pineapple from this, and K EDT smells very different after it sits on the skin. Not a bad fragrance either way

a good everyday fragrance, dumb reach. will have you smelling good and has a pleasing scent profile. good clone and actually smells like D&G K

nice freshie but does not last. gone after 4 hours. pretty close to K EDT

Absolutely solid alternative to D&G K. Solid 8/10. Would re purchase.

I have to agree with the review here below – this is not D&G K, not the EDT of the EDP – I cannot find a fragrance which is similar with this one – it’s not overpowering, it’s kind of a weak fragrance, it’s also unisex, a woman can easily wear this though it leans slightly to the masculine site – the juniper is there and pineapple as well but not a pineapple like Aventus or Hacivat – the pineapple is not overpowering and a bit smoother – the box is really nice the bottle is ok – the cap is rubbish, cheap light plastic – the nicest thing about this fragrance is the box - all together nothing special and quite a disappointment because I expected something better and different – luckily I paid not a lot for this – probably going to hand over this one of my stepsons if one wants to have it

Generally, I love ME perfumes, and I've loved all my Lattafa bottles so far (especially Khamrah) but I have no idea if I like this or not. The folks who say this has a soapy, shampoo note are correct, it smells very clean to me in a barbershop masc way. There is some floral underneath, though, and it could easily be unisex if you like the vibe. I'm planning to let it marinate a bit until the summer to try in hot weather. It's a little screechy on opening, sure, but nothing intolerable. I'm not sure I have the gravitas to pull this off, but for $21 on Amazon I'm not mad about buying it either.

It's a freshie that isn't bad at all but it's also nothing amazing. It's definitely a great buy for the price. I paid $14 for a 100ml and I'm not disappointed. It has a sweet fresh opening that stays that way for about 4 hours before you stop noticing that it's there. Update: I ended up selling this one at work because I just never reached for it. Some scents are nice but they're just not for you. That was the case with me on this one.

I boought this because this fragrance was hyped up a lot. it's so meh. DO NOT BLINDBUY. I blindbought and it smells like an old man. But after a while it grows on you a little. I think this fragrance with macceration, it could definitely smell better and be smoother. Also it smells very synthetic. Not for young buyers, you have to be at least 26 to rock this

This is not a clone of D&G K, but somewhat the same family. I feel this is very soupy, unlike D&G K. You can consider this as a pleasing fragrance stand-alone. But if you are looking for a replacement for the D&G K, Then do not go for this. Scent rating: 6/10 Longevity on clothes: 4+ hours Projection & Sillage: moderate (3 hours)

Opening has zero harmony. Evolves slowly into a slightly more mild mess. Wish the fruity notes were a little stronger. If there is any watermelon in this mix, it’s subdued by the juniper. This frag is all soapy, grassy greens. Great concept but too synthetic. Dish washer soap and aftershave vibes.

When I first got it I thought it smelled like vinegar and I may have gotten a bad batch but the dry down on my clothes was very nice . Although it kinda smells like air freshener people like to smell this it’s on of my girlfriends favorites to smell on me.

Compared it next to DG K, just amazing, how people find anything similar here to K? I'm not a fan of K, I think it is boring. This one is also boring, but differently.

Ive got it as a present. Not my type of fragrance at all. But not bad.

#578 in my "Tour de Fragrance" There's a lot of notes in this one. They kind of threw in the kitchen sink here, trying to be everything to everyone. While it's not offensive, its not much of anything. Barely EDT in potency and zero projection, precisely because they put in a teensy bit of everything they had on the shelf, including nearly the entire fruit aisle. Most prominent to my nose is the watermelon, not as prominent as something like Kenneth Cole Reaction (which if you want that scent you can just drizzle watermelon juice on you chest). The strawberry is also definitely there. I would like this better with way more amber, and wood, more vanilla or maybe praline, caramel, anything to give it a hint of sweetness, some character. But all the notes are barely present. The skin scent is gone well before lunchtime, so you'll definitely respray, but what would be the point? I don't think it will get noticed by anyone not smelling your skin, and not sure they'll pick it up even then. It does better if you also spray your clothing, but if you have to spray a scent on your clothing for it to be detectable you really should just buy something better. Not one I'll reach for at all as I have so many better scents, so I'll give this bottle away and won't buy it again. Sometimes, not often, the scents I barely detect work fine for someone else, so I don't just toss a scent unless it just smells awful (like everything by Etat Libre D'Orange). This is cheap, as it should be, but I wouldn't waste your money (like I did). I bought it because I liked the Ra'ed Oud and Silver, both of which have more character than this. Should have known they'd name the least luxurious scent in the line "Luxe." @#$! marketing department! And by the way, I let this one sit in storage for six months, so save the "maceration" lecture. For some Arab scents like Afnan, and especially Al Haramain, that actually seems to make a difference (not sure they bother to blend their scents before shipping them). I thought this was weak when I first got it, and it hasn't improved with time.

So I am not sure if I received a bad batch or if this fragrance is really supposed to smell how it does... At first I figured I may need to let it sit for a while, but its been 6-7 months and it still has the same smell. I normally am very much a fan of slightly earthy plant and floral dominant fragrances but this is just a very challenging scent. Do Not Blind Buy! It opens with a very harsh mentholy smell very similar to vic's with a combination of a bit of a wet smelling quality. I own a home renovation company and the wet quality was very reminiscent of when I pull up water damaged old floors and get hit with that first blast of trapped moldy flooring. I will say that the dry down is much better now than it was 6 months ago and is actually bearable now. Its dry down is a mix of the smell of that lemon juice extract in the little plastic lemon bottle with the smell of a forrest shortly after it rained. Before it soley had a mossy scent. It also currently has a slight soapy quality to it. I think that aspect may be coming from the lemony side but its like that lemon scented bleach type of soapy cleaner smell. I thought it could just be my skin chemistry but it actually smells better on my skin than on a tester sheet. The longevity is very good at 6+ hours and probably a 3' radius around you. It is also not just me that thinks it smells off, I have had two friends, a sister and my mother all say they strongly disliked the smell just from me getting close to them. I have not smelt the originals but I just have a feeling the batch has to of been bad especially with the scent profile described. If anyone else has experience with this let me know if this is how its actually supposed to smell or if you get something totally different from your bottle.

So update. When I bought this about 18 months ago I thought I quite literally got a bad batch. It didn't even remotely resemble the notes whatsoever and basically smelled like a more sour version of the synthetic lemon/pine scent used in industrial cleaners. I waited 6 months an 0 change. I waited 12 months, it wasn't as harsh but still aweful. Then today I was going to toss it and I figured I would spray it to see before I do and its a completely different fragrance... In the initial spray there is a very small hint of that lemon piney cleaner smell but it disappears after about 15 seconds and turns into this pleasant aromatic fruity fragrence.. I have never had something change so drastically on me before but I am happy and actually probably going to wear it for the first time tomorrow.
