Here is a breakdown of the fragrance, which is the key characteristic of this body spray:
Fragrance Profile: It is classified as an Amber Spicy fragrance, with prominent woody, smoky, and leathery accords. It is a bold and intense scent, often described as mysterious and masculine, though marketed as unisex.
Scent Notes:
Top Notes: A spicy and slightly aromatic opening with Black Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Saffron.
Middle Notes: The heart is complex and resinous, featuring notes like Rhubarb, Cade oil (a type of smoky juniper oil), Labdanum, and Gurjun Balsam.
Base Notes: The dry down is deep and woody, with a strong presence of Leather, Cedar, Guaiac Wood, Patchouli, and Musk.
Scent Inspiration: While not an official statement from the brand, many fragrance enthusiasts and reviewers consider Lattafa Maahir Black Edition to be a "dupe" or a fragrance inspired by niche perfumes like Orto Parisi Terroni or fragrances with a similar smoky, woody, and leathery DNA.
Deodorant vs. Perfume: As a body spray deodorant, the fragrance concentration is lower than the perfume. This means it is designed to provide all-day freshness and a lighter, more subtle scent. While its sillage and longevity will not be as strong as the perfume, it is a great way to layer the scent or get a quick, refreshing application. It is also more suitable for use in warmer climates where a heavy perfume might be overpowering.
