If you're in Selangor with a formal event coming up — a wedding dinner, a corporate function, an awards night — and you want a Lattafa EDP that fits the occasion, this post is for you. We're looking at two 100ml EDPs from the brand: Simply Oud, made for men, and Teriaq, a unisex option. Both are listed for formal and special occasions, so the real question is which style suits you better.
Simply Oud by Lattafa – 100ml EDP for Men
Simply Oud is Lattafa's bold, confident Arabic-style fragrance for men. It opens with rich oud and spices, moves into a warm spicy-amber heart with woods, and settles on a base of smoke, musk and dry woods. If you're a guy who likes strong, masculine scents that make themselves known the moment you walk into a ballroom, this one is built for that.
It's an EDP in a 100ml bottle, and its listed occasions cover formal, special occasion, casual and everyday. So it's not a one-event perfume — you can wear it to a dinner on Saturday and keep it in rotation on normal days too. With Malaysia's heat and humidity, take it easy on the sprays before you step out of the sun and into an air-conditioned hall.
Teriaq by Lattafa – 100ml EDP Unisex
Teriaq takes a different route. It opens with lively bergamot and pink pepper, moves into a heart of incense and cedarwood, and closes on a warm base of amber, musk and patchouli. Lattafa describes it as a woody and spicy EDP with a modern twist, made for day or night wear.
Because it's unisex, anyone can wear it — put it on yourself or share the bottle with your partner before a dinner event. Just like Simply Oud, it's a 100ml EDP, and its occasion list includes formal, special occasion, casual and everyday, so it fits the same Selangor wedding-and-dinner calendar.
The woody link between them
Both of these lean woody. Simply Oud has woods in its heart and dry woods in its base, while Teriaq has cedarwood in its heart sitting on amber, musk and patchouli. That woody-amber character is what makes both of them feel at home at formal evening events.
Which one should you pick?
- Pick Simply Oud if… you're a man who wants a strong, oud-forward Arabic scent with spices, amber and smoke. It's the heavier, more commanding of the two.
- Pick Teriaq if… you want a fresher opening, a heart of incense and cedarwood, and a scent that both men and women can wear.
- If you're sharing a bottle… Teriaq's unisex label makes it the easier pick for couples. Simply Oud is listed for men only.
On paper, you can't go far wrong: both are EDPs, both come in 100ml, and both list formal and special occasions. It really comes down to style — oud-heavy and masculine, or fresher and unisex.
A quick word on Malaysia's weather
It's hot and humid in Selangor all year round, and most formal events happen inside air-conditioned hotels and halls. With either perfume, a couple of sprays on skin and clothes is usually enough before you head out of the heat and into the air-cond.
