Lattafa Bayaan Eau de Parfum
A 2023 floral fruity gourmand unisex fragrance from Lattafa, pairing cassis and litchi with rose, cardamom, praline, oud and vanilla.
Lattafa Bayaan Eau de Parfum, released in 2023, is a floral fruity gourmand that layers dark fruit and rose over an oud-touched base.
What does Bayaan smell like?
The top notes combine cassis, litchi and pink pepper for a dark, juicy opening with a light spicy edge. The heart brings rose, cardamom and praline together, giving a warm, slightly spiced floral sweetness. In the base, moss, oud and vanilla add depth and a touch of earthiness, balancing the sweeter top and heart notes. It's a well-rounded fragrance that moves from fruity-floral to warmer and woodier over time on skin.
- Top notes: Cassis, litchi, pink pepper
- Heart notes: Rose, cardamom, praline
- Base notes: Moss, oud, vanilla
Performance and when to wear it
Bayaan is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the oud and moss base adding good longevity. It works well for both daytime and evening wear, suiting cooler weather especially well.
Who is it for?
Marketed as unisex, Bayaan suits wearers who enjoy fruity rose fragrances with a bit of woody depth rather than a purely sweet gourmand.
Because it blends fruit, spice and a touch of oud, Bayaan works well as a transitional fragrance between South African summer and winter wardrobes.
The combination of dark fruit and oud in Bayaan gives it more edge than a typical sweet rose fragrance, without tipping into a heavy, smoky oud scent.

Layer It With
Curated scent pairings to build a signature from Bayaan. Each combination is vetted by perfumers, editors, and community.
Most layer-able scent in the JM range — adds saline-herbal lift to almost anything. Limited solo performance.
Personalises any sweeter scent — makes it read as 'you, but better' rather than perfumed.
The winter weight for summer signatures.
Adds chestnut-vanilla warmth and smoke to lighter scents — converts a daytime signature into something evening-ready in cold weather.
Layering Tip
Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.
How to Layer Bayaan
Combine Bayaan with these partners to create something new. Spray the heavier scent first, let it settle, then add the accent on top. These are note-based suggestions — a great starting point to experiment with.
Layer Bayaan with
Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh Intense OudHow: 1 spray Ameer Al Oudh on chest as the base, then 2 sprays Bayaan on top.
Result: The extra oud base deepens Bayaan's own moss-oud-vanilla drydown into something heavier.
Layer Bayaan with
Lattafa Fakhar GoldHow: 2 sprays Bayaan on clothes first, then 1 spray Fakhar Gold on the wrists.
Result: Fakhar Gold's amber sweetness balances Bayaan's cassis-litchi-pink pepper top.
AI Review Summary
Synthesised from fragrance data
Bayaan opens with a dark, juicy burst of cassis and litchi lifted by a subtle pink pepper bite, before settling into a warm rose heart sweetened by praline and grounded with cardamom spice. The oud, moss and vanilla base give it real staying power and a woody earthiness that stops it from reading as purely sweet or feminine. It's a well-balanced unisex fragrance that appeals to anyone who loves a fruity rose but wants a little more complexity and edge than the typical gourmand offering. Reach for Bayaan on cooler autumn and winter evenings when that oud-vanilla warmth really comes into its own — it's the kind of scent that feels equally at home at a dinner out as it does on a relaxed weekend afternoon.
