Maahir by Lattafa is a fragrance that wears its name well — Maahir means “skilled” or “masterful,” and this scent is just that. It’s an opulent blend of fruity sweetness, rose-laced florals, oriental spice, and deep woods, presented in one of the most majestic bottles in the Lattafa lineup. From the very first spray, it makes one thing clear: this is not a quiet fragrance.
The opening is juicy and exotic: red berries, peach, and possibly apricot or apple — bursting with ripeness, almost syrupy but elegantly balanced. The fruitiness doesn’t feel like a playful candy; it’s deeper, moodier, and more regal in tone — imagine dried fruits soaked in spiced wine.
Moving into the heart, a dense floral bouquet begins to rise. Rose takes center stage, wrapped in jasmine, white florals, and tinged with soft spices — likely saffron, cardamom, and hints of incense. The florals here are not delicate — they’re bold, mature, and layered, unfolding like a velvet curtain.
The dry-down is where Maahir cements itself as a true oriental-woody powerhouse. Oud, amber, musk, and vanilla create a long-lasting base that’s creamy, dark, and slightly smoky. There’s also a faint leathery undertone that emerges over time, giving it richness and complexity.
Maahir is luxurious, intense, and unapologetically Middle Eastern. It demands attention — not through brute force, but through elegant authority.
