Maahir opens with red berries, peach and bergamot, moves into a jasmine, peony and red lily heart, then settles into sandalwood, vanilla flower and musk for a soft, powdery base. Fragrantica's community voting (678 votes) puts longevity as long lasting for 48% of wearers, with a further 27% calling it eternal.
Maahir is a 2019 Oriental Floral from Lattafa Perfumes. It opens on red berries, peach and bergamot, contributing to a fruity accord that Fragrantica's breakdown puts at 39% strength. The heart brings jasmine, peony and red lily, which sit behind a white floral accord at 60% and a plainer floral note at 37%. The base settles into sandalwood, vanilla flower and musk, and this is where the composition's real weight sits: powdery is the single strongest accord in the whole profile at 100%, with woody close behind at 79%, vanilla at 73% and musky at 69%. Sweetness registers at a moderate 40%. The overall effect reads as a soft, powdery oriental floral built on wood and vanilla musk, rather than a fresh or green scent.
The opening is bright and fruity, led by red berries and peach with a lift of bergamot. Within the first hour or so, jasmine, peony and red lily start to come through, carrying the scent into its floral heart. From there it dries down into sandalwood, vanilla flower and musk, and this is where it stays for the rest of wear — a warm, powdery, musky base with the woody and vanilla accords doing most of the work. Fragrantica voters lean toward evening wear: 64% log it as a nighttime scent against 36% for daytime, of 743 daypart votes.
Of 678 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group — 48% — rate Maahir's staying power as long lasting, with a further 27% calling it eternal and around 3% finding it weak or very weak. Sillage tracks strong as well: of 657 votes, 51% describe its projection as strong and a further 20% as enormous, with 27% calling it moderate. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes favour the cooler months: winter leads at 40%, with autumn close behind at 35%. Spring accounts for 18% and summer trails well behind at 7%. It reads as an autumn-and-winter scent rather than one built for the heat.
Lattafa markets Maahir as a fragrance for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting backs that framing — unisex is the single largest bucket at 43% of 736 votes, ahead of male-leaning (24%), male (17%), female-leaning (8%) and female (8%).
Fragrantica's community voting links Maahir most closely to More Than Words by Xerjoff, suggesting the two share a similar powdery, vanilla-musk accord profile. FG Perfumes also carries Lattafa Oud Mood, another Fragrantica-linked match, for anyone who wants to compare the two side by side.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
Lattafa Perfumes started in Dubai in 1980, and the family who founded it still runs the company. Its name comes from the Arabic words for kindness and pleasantness. Lattafa perfumes range from sweet gourmands to bold ouds, at prices well below designer brands.
