Maahir Black Edition Perfume 100ml EDP Lattafa

Maahir Black Edition Perfume 100ml EDP by Lattafa is the darkest, most brooding chapter of the Maahir story. Released in 2020, it trades polish for presence: saffron and twin peppers ignite the opening, smoky cade and resinous labdanum smoulder at the heart, and a formidable base of leather, cedar and moss carries the drydown deep into the night. Officially unisex, it wears with a confident, smoky-leathery character that lovers of bold fragrances will recognise instantly.

The Scent Journey

The Opening

Black pepper and pink pepper strike first, sharp and crackling, before golden saffron floods in with its unmistakable leathery warmth. The effect is immediately arresting, a spiced curtain drawing back on something darker beneath.

The Heart

The heart is beautifully shadowed. Cade oil brings a campfire smokiness, labdanum adds sticky amber depth and gurjan balsam contributes a woody resinous hum. A sliver of tart rhubarb cuts through the smoke, adding just enough brightness to keep the composition alive and intriguing.

The Dry Down

Hours later, Maahir Black Edition settles onto supple leather, dry cedar and guaiac wood, earthed by patchouli and moss and smoothed by musk. It is a base with real gravitas, dark, textured and quietly powerful until the very end.

• Heart notes: Cade Oil, Labdanum, Gurjan Balsam, Rhubarb
• Base notes: Leather, Cedar, Guaiac Wood, Patchouli, Musk, Moss

Longevity and Performance

This is one of Lattafa's stronger performers. Expect eight to ten hours on skin, with the leather and woods clinging to clothing well beyond a full day. Projection is bold in the opening hours, so a measured two or three sprays is plenty for most occasions.

When to Wear It

Suited to autumn and winter above all, Maahir Black Edition thrives in cold evening air, at dinners, gatherings and nights out where a memorable signature matters. It also brings a certain armour to important meetings, though its smoky depth is best kept away from summer heat.
