Maitha by Lattafa is molten caramel in its most intimate form: a 20ml concentrated perfume oil that wears like a delicious secret. Aromatic anise sparks over a buttery caramel heart before vanilla, tonka bean and musk melt into the skin for hours on end. Alcohol-free and beautifully smooth, Maitha is attar tradition meeting modern gourmand perfumery, and it has quickly become a viral favourite.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
Maitha opens with a cool, aromatic spark of anise. That liquorice-tinged freshness is a clever move, cutting through the sweetness to come and giving the oil an elegant, slightly mysterious first impression.
The Heart
The heart is the star: molten, buttery caramel with a burnt-sugar warmth that smells like a high-end patisserie at golden hour. It is rich and true, never plasticky, the kind of caramel note gourmand lovers hunt for.
The Dry Down
The base settles into a cosy blend of vanilla, tonka bean and soft musk. Because it is an oil, the dry down sits close and warm on the skin, radiating gently with body heat for eight hours and more.

Longevity and Performance
Concentrated perfume oils are marathon runners, and Maitha delivers eight to twelve hours on skin. It wears as an intimate scent bubble rather than a room-filler, perfect for close company, and a single dab on each pulse point is all it takes.
When to Wear It
Maitha is suited to autumn and winter, when its caramel warmth feels most luxurious, and it makes a gorgeous evening and bedtime scent year round. Being alcohol-free, it is also gentle on sensitive skin and ideal for layering under your favourite sweet sprays.
