Vintage Radio by Lattafa Pride is one of the most distinctive fragrances the house has ever released, right down to its wonderful radio-shaped bottle. The scent inside matches the concept: a nostalgic, softly smoky composition where lavender and sage drift over plum, palo santo and warm sandalwood, like an old song crackling through the evening air. It is quirky, elegant and utterly memorable.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
Vintage Radio switches on with aromatic lavender and sage, brightened by a squeeze of bergamot. The opening feels calm and considered, herbal rather than sharp, setting a mellow, reflective mood from the first spray.
The Heart
The heart is where the character deepens. Ripe plum adds a dark, velvety fruitiness while palo santo brings its signature creamy, mystical woodiness. A crack of black pepper keeps things lively, adding warmth and a gentle spark of spice.
The Dry Down
The base hums with smooth sandalwood and glowing amberwood, a warm, woody frequency that carries for hours. It is comforting and softly sweet, with that vintage, lived-in quality that gives the fragrance its name.

Longevity and Performance
Pride-line performance is on full display: eight hours plus on skin, with a smooth, woody projection that stays polite but present. It leaves one of the most pleasant trails in the collection, and on clothing it lingers well into the next day.
When to Wear It
Vintage Radio is suited to autumn and winter, when its woody warmth feels most atmospheric. It is a superb choice for evenings, intimate dinners and creative settings where you want to smell interesting rather than predictable. In cool spring weather it makes a sophisticated daytime companion.
Lattafa Pride is where Dubai's biggest fragrance house takes creative risks, and Vintage Radio is proof of how well those risks pay off. Collectible bottle design, a genuinely original composition and premium concentration combine into something fragrance lovers travel a long way to find.
