Lattafa Maahir Eau de Parfum
A fruity floral unisex scent with red berries, peach and bergamot over jasmine, red lily and a sandalwood-vanilla-musk base.
Lattafa Maahir Eau de Parfum is a fruity floral fragrance from the brand's original Maahir line, distinct from the newer Maahir Legacy and Maahir Black Edition releases sold alongside it.
What does Maahir smell like?
The opening leads with red berries, bergamot and peach, giving a juicy, slightly tart fruity start. The heart brings in jasmine, red lily and peony, layering white and red florals over the fruit for a fuller, more rounded middle. The base of sandalwood, vanilla flower and musk finishes things softly, with a warm, slightly powdery sweetness that supports rather than overwhelms the floral heart.
- Top notes: Red Berries, Bergamot, Peach
- Heart notes: Jasmine, Red Lily, Peony
- Base notes: Sandalwood, Vanilla Flower, Musk
Performance and when to wear it
Maahir is typically moderate on skin, with the sandalwood-vanilla base giving it a gentle, close-wearing finish once the fruity top notes fade. It works well for daytime and transitional-weather wear, where a fruity floral scent feels appropriate without being too heavy for warmer conditions. Worth noting: Lattafa's own marketing for Maahir has at times described a different, oud-and-rose profile, so treat the fruity floral version above as the one most consistently listed by independent fragrance sites.
Who is it for?
This suits wearers who enjoy fruity floral fragrances with a soft, musky landing rather than something sharp or heavy. It's unisex, though the peach-jasmine character will likely appeal more to those who already enjoy lighter, fruit-forward florals.

Adds an uplifting citrus accessory to anything richer — works whenever a scent feels too heavy for the 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 Maahir
Combine Maahir 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 Maahir with
Lattafa Maahir LegacyHow: spray Maahir first (2-3 sprays), then 1 spray Maahir Legacy on top once it settles
Result: the two share the same jasmine-sandalwood-musk skeleton, so layering builds intensity and longevity rather than changing the scent
Layer Maahir with
Lattafa Mayar Cherry IntenseHow: 2 sprays Maahir on skin, 1 spray Mayar Cherry Intense on the wrists
Result: adds a cherry-cacao sweetness on top of Maahir's red berry and jasmine opening
