The review
Worth a try. That is where Qaa'ed Al Shabaab lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Cuir Intense.
Lattafa sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cuir Intense's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Lattafa publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: saffron, bergamot and pink pepper up top, leather, rose and iris in the middle, leather, amber and patchouli underneath — the shape of Guerlain Cuir Intense.

- saffron
- bergamot

Heart
