Very synthetic

Very strong & long-lasting performance. The main theme is powdery notes with a touch of Musk/vanilla/rose. Opening is more like alcohol and after the dry down you get into the beauty of it and you’ll start feeling the warmth of it. This is a unisex fragrance and better suited to the fall and winter day/night.

Maahir: A Hidden Gem in the World of Fragrance?

I stumbled upon Maahir at the mall, and it was love at first sniff! Finding it for just $17 on Fragrance.net felt like a steal. The bottle itself is surprisingly luxurious – heavy and well-designed, with a striking combination of colors in the cap, lettering, juice, and glass. The scent is equally impressive. It opens with a familiar oud and rose blend, reminiscent of other Middle Eastern fragrances, but this initial burst settles down after about ten minutes, revealing a beautiful heart of vanilla, oud, and powdery notes. Maahir strikes a perfect balance: masculine, mature, and elegant, yet still wearable for casual occasions. I'm surprised by the lack of hype surrounding this fragrance; reviews are scarce and often mixed. Perhaps it's just my personal preference for Middle Eastern scents, but I'm completely obsessed. Maahir is a fantastic value, and it's definitely inspired me to explore more from Lattafa and other Middle Eastern perfumers.

Will my expectations be met?

What to say about Lattafa Maahir? Upon spraying, a strong rose note draws attention, almost suppressing the saffron note. After a few minutes, a warm combination of oud and amber comes through that I associate with a walk in an oriental market. The leather note is barely perceptible to me, because the rose is yet dominant and accompanies the fragrance all the time.
In the drydown, the vanilla and musk notes complete the picture of the Orient and give the fragrance a nice depth. The Dufte is, with over 10 hours, above average durability and projects quite strongly, therefore I would rather apply it in autumn and winter.
Considering what the perfume costs, it has convinced me completely and even exceeded my expectations. I can highly recommend it, as an introduction to the world of oud fragrances.

This is my first review and hope it comes good.

Synthetic, oriental & spicy

Synthetic oud is a big hurdle for me.
I generally have difficulties with oud notes, but I completely reject them in this artificial form.
Unfortunately, it is precisely this kind of synthetic oud that characterizes Maahir.

The opening is dominated by rose, saffron and immediately by the aforementioned oud note.
The oud note reminds me of the oud from Shaghaf Oud Eau de Parfum, although it is a little less synthetic and slightly more animalic in Maahir.
Generally speaking, the start, like the fragrance as a whole, is not suitable for the masses.

The oud continues to completely dominate the DD.
The rose, which does not really smell authentic, recedes somewhat into the background.
The saffron continues to provide the oriental spice in DD, which should appeal to lovers of this fragrance.
At its core, Maahir remains a spicy, synthetic oud fragrance accompanied by an artificial, oriental rose.
Amber and vanilla lend it warmth and a slight sweetness.
The fragrance cannot be described as overtly sweet, but it does have an underlying sweetness.

On the other hand, I can't complain about the performance.
This fragrance sticks to you like chewing gum to a shoe.
The sillage is also more than respectable, it may not fill the room, but it still makes you stand out.

The fragrance is unisex, but tends more towards the masculine side (M60%/40%W).

Definitely not for me.
If you like the Shaghaf Oud Eau de Parfum, you will certainly like this one too.
It may have its own accents, but it undoubtedly belongs in the Shaghaf Oud family.
Since this direction just isn't for me, I'll pass here.

Durability beast, compliment magnet and love at first sniff

For me, Lattafa Maahir is first and foremost a special fragrance. It is the fragrance that opened the doors to the world of perfume for me. For me, it was that certain fragrance that stands out from others and makes you smell special.
I bought this fragrance after smelling it on a friend. I was so fascinated that I told myself I had to have it.

I don't have much to say about the fragrance experience itself. I'm relatively bad at picking out fragrance notes, but what I can say is that I really like the opening with rose and saffron. It may be a little too synthetic for some people and there is also some of that typical "Lattafa DNA" in it, but that doesn't bother me at all.
In the drydown, the fragrance is great and doesn't lose any of its performance.
If you put some of it on your clothes, I can tell you that you won't get rid of the fragrance for several days. Longevity is absolutely outstanding.
But be careful! The fragrance can quickly become overpowering if you are not careful.

Surprisingly, this is also the fragrance for which I have received the most compliments from the opposite sex so far. However, I have to say that they were from the Arab world and probably just know and like this type of fragrance.

I can't understand why Maahir isn't in the top 10 at Lattafas. Somehow it gets lost on the internet and in forum discussions. Unfortunately, you don't have the opportunity to test it everywhere. What I recommend is that in many city centers/train station districts there are these oriental cell phone stores and supermarkets. If you're lucky, you might even find one that has this type of perfume.

If you're a fan of Lattafa fragrances, you can't go wrong here!
P.S. I think the bottle design is really cool, but what annoys me a bit is that the center of gravity of the bottle is so high up and it can tip over more easily.
