Al Qiam Silver is Lattafa Pride's masterclass in modern freshness, a 100ml Eau de Parfum built on the irresistible pairing of bitter grapefruit and glowing ambroxan. Where much of the Pride line explores ambers, dates and incense, this silver-clad release goes the other way entirely, delivering a crisp, radiant, energising scent that feels like cold air on a bright morning. Officially unisex and hugely popular with men, it has become one of the most requested fresh fragrances in the entire Lattafa catalogue.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
A sharp, sparkling grapefruit bursts out of the bottle first, zesty and slightly bitter in the most refreshing way. Ginger rides alongside it, adding a warm, peppery bite that stops the citrus from feeling one-dimensional. The first half hour is pure energy, clean and invigorating without a hint of soapiness.
The Heart
The core of Al Qiam Silver is ambroxan, that luminous, mineral-warm note that seems to radiate from the skin rather than sit on it. Creamy sandalwood softens its glow and gives the heart a smooth, polished character. This is where the fragrance settles into its signature, a bright amber-woody hum that carries for hours.
The Dry Down
In the base, earthy vetiver brings a dry, slightly smoky greenness that grounds the radiance, while clean musk smooths everything into a comfortable, second-skin finish. The final hours are crisp, woody and quietly magnetic, the kind of dry down that draws people a step closer.

Longevity and Performance
Ambroxan-driven fragrances are famous for their staying power and Al Qiam Silver is no exception. Expect eight hours or more on skin, with a fresh, diffusive aura for the first three or four. It projects in that pleasant, humming way that gets noticed in lifts, offices and evening venues alike. Four sprays are ideal.
When to Wear It
This is a genuine year-round signature. It shines in spring and summer when the grapefruit sparkles hardest, yet the ambroxan warmth keeps it alive on cold days too. Wear it to work, to the gym bag, on dates and on holiday. If you want one bottle that never feels out of place, this is a superb candidate.
