Kashaf is Lattafa's love letter to the fruity-oriental style, a 100ml Eau de Parfum that pairs a fresh rose with a jammy swirl of blackcurrant and raspberry before sinking into saffron, sandalwood, oud and musk. Sweet without being childish and rich without being heavy, it sits in that delicious middle ground where berries meet the East. Unisex on paper and softly feminine in spirit, Kashaf has quietly become one of the house's most compulsively wearable releases.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
A bright, dewy rose greets you first, more fresh-cut bloom than dusty potpourri. It carries a gentle floral sparkle that lifts the whole opening and hints at the sweetness waiting underneath. There is no harsh alcohol blast here, just an inviting, rosy shimmer.
The Heart
Then the fruit arrives in glorious technicolour. Ripe raspberry and dark blackcurrant blend into a jam-like accord with real depth, while saffron threads its golden, leathery warmth through the sweetness. This heart is the signature of Kashaf, creamy berries with an unmistakably Arabian glow, playful on the surface and surprisingly plush beneath.
The Dry Down
In the final phase the fruit relaxes onto a bed of smooth sandalwood, a well-mannered oud note and soft musk. The oud here is polished rather than fierce, adding depth and a touch of mystery without any barnyard roughness. The result is a warm, velvety finish that hums on the skin for hours.

Longevity and Performance
Kashaf gives a comfortable six to eight hours on skin, projecting its berry-rose sweetness generously for the first two or three before settling into a cosy, musky-woody trail. On knitwear and scarves it can easily be caught the following day. Four sprays deliver a lovely cloud of it without overwhelming anyone nearby.
When to Wear It
Suited to autumn and winter, when the jammy fruit and saffron feel richest, though it is soft enough to wear on cool spring evenings too. It shines on date nights, cosy dinners and casual days when you want something sweet but sophisticated. If you enjoy fragrances that earn compliments at hugging distance, this is one of them.
Since 1980, Dubai's Lattafa Perfumes has built a worldwide following by bottling the richness of Middle Eastern perfumery at prices anyone can enjoy. Releases like Kashaf show the house's playful side, taking familiar gourmand and fruity ideas and giving them an unmistakable Arabian accent.
