Shahd, whose name means honey in Arabic, is Lattafa's 2023 love letter to sun-drenched white flowers. Created for women, it is a floral-sweet eau de parfum that captures the feeling of a warm afternoon in a tropical garden, all creamy frangipani, heady ylang-ylang and glowing tuberose over a soft bed of vanilla and musk. Radiant without being loud, Shahd is the sort of feminine fragrance that earns compliments in lifts, offices and restaurants alike, and the gleaming golden bottle mirrors the honeyed warmth of the scent inside.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
Shahd opens with an immediate burst of exotic florals. Frangipani leads the way, creamy and faintly fruity, while ylang-ylang adds a rich, almost custard-like depth. The impression is bright, warm and instantly uplifting, like stepping off a plane into holiday sunshine.
The Heart
The heart belongs to tuberose, one of perfumery's great divas, here handled with a light touch so it feels luminous rather than overpowering. A radiant solar accord wraps around it, giving that unmistakable sun-warmed skin effect that makes white floral fragrances so addictive.
The Dry Down
As the flowers soften, a smooth base of vanilla, amber and musk takes over, with a whisper of cedarwood adding gentle structure. The finish is powdery, honeyed and comforting, staying close to the skin for hours and leaving a beautiful trace on scarves and collars.

Longevity and Performance
Shahd wears comfortably for six to eight hours as an eau de parfum, with the vanilla and musk base clinging to fabric even longer. Projection is moderate, a soft floral halo for the first couple of hours before it settles into an elegant skin scent. It is strong enough to be noticed, never enough to overwhelm a room.
When to Wear It
Shahd is a genuine all-rounder with a warm-weather heart. It blossoms in spring and summer, works beautifully for daytime events, weddings and holidays, and its vanilla base means it still feels cosy on mild autumn days. For dedicated cold-weather wear, richer ambers may serve better, but as a year-round feminine signature it is hard to fault.
