Maahir Lattafa

Maahir by Lattafa is a powerful, dark oriental fragrance with strong oud and rose presence, often described as a 'beast mode' performer due to its intense projection and long-lasting wear. The scent opens with a bold, medicinal oud and saffron accented by a hint of peach and bergamot, though this initial blast is not entirely consistent with the marketed notes. Over time, the fragrance evolves into a rich, sweet, gourmand base of vanilla, sandalwood, and musk with a prominent rose-musky drydown. It leans distinctly feminine in its softer, powdery phases, but maintains a unisex appeal due to its robust structure and layering potential. The composition is bold and immersive—ideal for cold winter days and evening wear, especially in cool climates. It is not subtle nor beginner-friendly, and appears to misalign with its advertised notes, particularly in the absence of detectable peaches, red berries, or jasmine. The fragrance’s longevity and sillage are impressive, with a lasting presence that can fill a room, making it best suited for confident, bold wearers who appreciate opulent, animalic, and floral-oud profiles.
