Qaed Al Fursan by Lattafa, the Leader of the Knights, is one of the great cult classics of affordable Arabian perfumery. Since 2016 its unmistakable pairing of juicy pineapple and golden saffron over smooth oud wood has won legions of fans worldwide. Fruity yet noble, fresh yet warm, it remains one of the most recognisable value legends in the entire fragrance world.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
The fragrance charges in with its famous duo: sweet, juicy pineapple brightened by precious saffron. The combination is instantly appealing, exotic fruit with a regal golden edge that sets it apart from ordinary fruity scents.
The Heart
The heart brings elegance and depth. Soft jasmine floats over resinous fir balsam, adding a green, slightly honeyed richness that bridges the bright opening and the woody foundation below.
The Dry Down
The base is where the knight earns his title: smooth oud wood, dry cedar and warm amber in perfect formation. The pineapple lingers over the woods for hours, creating that signature sweet-woody trail people recognise across a room.
Fragrance Notes
Top notes: Saffron, Pineapple
Heart notes: Jasmine, Fir Balsam
Base notes: Oud Wood, Cedarwood, Amber
Longevity and Performance
Outstanding for the price: seven to nine hours on skin with a lively, noticeable presence for the first half of the wear. On clothing the pineapple-woods accord persists well into the next day. Four or five sprays give the full knightly effect.
When to Wear It
A genuine all-rounder. The fruit shines in spring and summer while the oud and amber carry it through autumn evenings. Casual days, work, gatherings, it fits them all, and its friendly character makes it a superb gift.
Few fragrances explain Lattafa's global rise better than Qaed Al Fursan: a distinctive, quality composition at a price that seems impossible. It has introduced countless people to Arabian perfumery and still holds its own against releases costing many times more.
