This is the fragrance that introduced oud to thousands of people who had never smelled it.
— The opening is spiced and a little rough: saffron and nutmeg, with a lavender that brings an aromatic contrast.
— The heart lets the oud settle in, backed by patchouli, and it never lets go.
— The base carries that heart on — oud, patchouli, musk — dark, deep, resolutely oriental.
Two things to know. The first few minutes are frank, almost medicinal: you need to let a quarter of an hour pass for the fragrance to settle. And the wear is exceptional — eight to twelve hours on the skin, several days on a garment. Evening, autumn and winter.

Fakhar is one of Lattafa's oldest best sellers, and it has never left the catalogue — which, in this house, means something.
— The opening is generously fruity: peach, pear, orange, apple and blackcurrant arrive together, juicy and luminous.
— The heart swings over to a classic, well-built floral: orange blossom, rose and sambac jasmine.
— The base sets in vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood and musk, which give the fragrance its staying power and its lightly powdery side.
This is an easy, balanced fragrance that is not out to shock anyone. It is widely liked, by men as well as women, and that is precisely its strength. Wearable all year. A good choice if you want a fragrance that never puts a foot wrong.

Maahir is a rose-oud, and that is a family in which it is very hard to do something good at a low price.
— The opening pairs saffron and rose, that typically Middle Eastern combination you find in the great fragrances of the region.
— The heart brings akigalawood, leather and a dry amber that gives it character.
— The base rests on an oud accord softened by vanilla and musk.
A useful warning: the notes listed on some reference sites do not match what the fragrance actually smells like. Lattafa's official composition, the one given here, is much closer to the lived experience. Eight to twelve hours of wear, strong projection at the start. Cold weather, evenings.
