Khalid
Khalid by Lattafa is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with saffron, labdanum and leather, moves into birch, birch tar and patchouli and dries down to benzoin, oud, tolu balsam and leather. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
Heart
- Birch Clean pale wood. The leaves, not the tar.
- Birch Tar Smoked, tarry and campfire-like. The classic way to build leather.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Tolu Balsam Warm, sweet, slightly cinnamon resin. Rich and rounded.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
