Anfas Mahaba is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Mahaba opens with Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Tonka Bean. Anfas's Mahaba carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag. Some find it a clean, sweet floral with good projection, others are utterly baffled by conflicting note lists and smell nothing but weak, soapy disappointment. Tread carefully, and don't expect the notes listed here to be what you actually get.

About

Mahaba opens with a fleeting green and citrusy whisper of petitgrain, quickly melding into a creamy heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang. A soft, sweet vanilla-tonka base emerges, offering a gourmand-like warmth that balances the initial freshness, though some find a persistent, clean soapiness dominates the whole affair.
