Lattafa Eternal Oud is a warm, sweet oriental with plum and grapefruit on top and oud, amber, benzoin and tonka underneath, while Eternal Vanille is a creamy unisex gourmand of blackberry, vanilla, cacao and tonka. They sit side by side in the Lattafa Pride range, cost £26.99 and £28.99 for 100ml here, and are often confused because of the shared name. This UK guide compares the notes, the style and who each suits.
Written by the Arabic Perfumery team from the product listings, published note lists and customer reviews, and last reviewed in November 2026. We sell Lattafa, so we have said who should look elsewhere. Wear-time comments are customer impressions, not laboratory tests, and we have not tested these bottles ourselves.
What does Lattafa Eternal Oud smell like?
Eternal Oud is sweet, resinous and warm. UK and European retailer listings give plum and grapefruit on top, with benzoin, amber, tonka and a modest oud accord underneath. Several listings add vanilla and labdanum, and one UK retailer lists an orchid and heliotrope heart. Note lists vary between sources, so we have used the elements most of them share. It launched in 2022 and is sold as unisex.
Think of it as a friendly oud: the plum keeps it juicy, and the resins and tonka keep it smooth rather than smoky. Retailers describe it as best for colder seasons and evenings.
What does Lattafa Eternal Vanille smell like?
Eternal Vanille is a creamy, slightly dark gourmand. Retailer listings give blackberry on top, cacao and vanilla in the heart, and cedarwood, tonka, benzoin and musk underneath. The cedar and musk stop it turning into pure dessert. It is sold as unisex and described as suited to cooler days and elegant evenings.

Which one should you buy?
- Choose Eternal Oud if you like warm, resinous scents with some fruit and want an easy first oud.
- Choose Eternal Vanille if you prefer creamy, dessert-style scents with a woody base.
- Choose neither if you want something fresh or dry. Our unisex Lattafa guide has other directions.
Buying guide: what to check before you buy
Eternal Oud is £26.99, about 27p per ml, and Eternal Vanille is £28.99, about 29p per ml, both in 100ml.
- Do not assume the Eternal name means a shared scent. One is an oud-led oriental and the other a vanilla gourmand.
- Test on skin and wait twenty minutes, because the base is where each one differs.
- If you are new to oud, read what oud smells like first.
- Both suit cooler weather, so they pair with our picks for winter.
