Maharjan Gold Lattafa Pride

The opening is an enormously sweet mix of buttery vanilla and caramel that, with some pepper and aromatic spices that smell remarkably like fudge.
A slight animalic note, dirtier and more dense than the dry suede of Babycat, comes into the mix with amber and makes this fragrance even thicker than before.
The whole thing is sustained by a slightly dirty incense smoke and cashmeran, but they're not at all the focus.
Overall the scent feels gourmand, complex and rich, but everything seems to have been put together without any finesse.

Performance is average on my skin, and projection is above average, lasting well over 90 minutes without losing significant strength, and remains as a skin scent for some 8 hours following that.

Maharajan Gold is a gentle perfume that feels like the memory of a deep pressure hug. It's reassuring but also subtle enough not to embarrass you publically.

Upon spraying this, you're greeted with an almost animalic cloud of cashmeran and it's soft and heavy, like a winter duvet or weighted blanket.

Peppery incense and crumbly caramel are the next things you'll notice, moments later the scent expands again and you smell these are in a fragrant ceder paneled room in which are hanging several bunches of dried lavender.

Once it dries down and all these notes are properly mingled on skin, this perfume brings to mind rooms full of well polished old pianos. There's no beeswax in this but the caramel ends up having a similar sweetness, like it's just here to round off the edges where any of the other notes could get too fresh or woody.

This is a cold weather fragrance.

I get around 10 to 12 hours of intimate longevity from 4 to 5 sprays to my torso, worn under several layers of clothing.

If I spray my neck or the back of my hands this does project more but it also doesn't last as long.

Unisex. This is not a feminine fragrance or a masculine one. We really need a classification option for unisex fragrances!
