{"product_id":"lattafa-maahir-eau-de-parfum-100ml","title":"Maahir Eau de Parfum 100ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eOf everything this house has released, Lattafa Maahir Eau de Parfum 100ml is the one most often described as smelling expensive, and the comparison it invites is to fragrances costing ten times as much. It opens on saffron and rose, which is the most recognisable pairing in Arabian perfumery. The saffron is dry, golden and slightly bitter, the rose deep rather than fresh, and the two of them together set a tone of restraint that the rest of the fragrance maintains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe middle is where it becomes distinctive. Akigalawood is the unusual material, peppery and dry with a resinous edge, and it gives the composition a modern texture that saffron and rose alone would not have. Leather sits beside it, soft and worn, and dry amber brings warmth without sweetness. The word dry is the key to all three: nothing here is allowed to turn syrupy. That discipline is the difference between this and the dozens of cheaper saffron and rose blends on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVanilla and musk make the base, and they are used sparingly, there to soften and extend rather than to sweeten. By the fourth hour it is a warm, quiet, leathery skin scent that people notice at close range and not before. Eight or nine hours is normal and projection is moderate throughout, which is part of why it reads as refined rather than cheap. Autumn, winter, evenings, restaurants, and anywhere a loud fragrance would be a mistake. It is marketed as unisex and worn by both. A 2020 release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the bottles that made Lattafa, a Sharjah house whose reputation spread on the strength of a handful of releases rather than on any advertising.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lattafa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53310826021191,"sku":"BTS369602","price":41.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/cUJLS09JYmNMZk1SVlQxYlY3a2NSODBKL3E2SWczdTR3Uzk0Szd2QzgrT3o5VFdyM2ZQc1FPL3hvZ1VINEFuRA2.jpg?v=1770770141","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/lattafa-maahir-eau-de-parfum-100ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
