24 Carat Pure Gold by Lattafa is exactly what its gleaming golden bottle promises: a rich, opulent Arabian amber built on oud, saffron and rose. This is perfumery in the grand Middle Eastern tradition, where precious woods, resins and spices are layered into something ceremonial and warm. Offered as a 100ml Eau de Parfum, it wears beautifully on both women and men and delivers a depth of character that makes its price tag genuinely hard to believe.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
The fragrance opens with an unmistakably Arabian trio of oud, saffron and cinnamon. The oud is present from the very first moment, dark and resinous, while saffron adds its golden, faintly leathery sheen and cinnamon brings a gentle spiced sweetness. It is a bold, confident introduction that sets a regal tone.
The Heart
At its centre, 24 Carat Pure Gold softens into a classic pairing of rose and sandalwood. The rose is deep and velvety rather than fresh-cut, melting into the creamy warmth of the sandalwood to create that timeless rose-oud harmony beloved across the Gulf.
The Dry Down
The base is a treasure chest: smoky incense, supple leather, warm musk, golden amber and a smoothing veil of vanilla. Together they form a long, luxurious finish that glows on the skin for hours, becoming rounder and sweeter as the day wears on.

Longevity and Performance
This is one of the stronger performers in the Lattafa stable. Expect eight to ten hours on skin, with the ambery leather base clinging to clothing for a day or more. Projection is generous for the first few hours, so two or three sprays are ample. It is a fragrance that leaves a memorable trail without needing any encouragement.
When to Wear It
24 Carat Pure Gold is suited to autumn and winter, when cold air lets its resins and spices unfurl slowly. Reserve it for evenings, celebrations, weddings and occasions that deserve a sense of ceremony. In warm weather it can feel imposing, so through summer keep it to air-conditioned evenings and apply with a light hand.
24 Carat Pure Gold Within the Lattafa Family
Its natural companion is the brighter sibling 24 Carat White Gold, which trades the dark amber for a fresher precious-metal sparkle. If deep oud is what draws you, Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud belongs on your radar too. Discover the rest in our full collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 24 Carat Pure Gold unisex?
Yes. The rose and vanilla soften the oud and leather, producing a regal scent that suits women and men equally well.
Is the oud note beginner friendly?
It is authentic but well tamed. If you are new to oud, this is a rewarding introduction, though the opening hour is noticeably darker than Western-style perfumes.
How does it compare to 24 Carat White Gold?
Pure Gold is the deeper, warmer sibling, built on oud, amber and leather, while White Gold is fresher and lighter. Together they cover evening and daytime beautifully.
How many sprays should I use?
Two or three. It is a potent Eau de Parfum and rewards restraint, especially indoors.
