Guerlain Mahora is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Mahora opens with Almond Blossom, Green Notes, and Orange, settles into a heart of Neroli, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Mahora carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Mahora is a divisive white floral, either a forgotten masterpiece longing for a re-release or a challenging, overpowering beast. Expect a rich, buttery tuberose with a tropical twist, but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Mahora’s powerful sillage and long-lasting, heavy white floral and woody accords make it less suitable for office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines on dates or for special evening events where its opulent, 'unforgettable' character can make a confident statement, with many reviewers recommending it for such settings.

About

Mahora opens with a surprisingly green and zesty orange, quickly giving way to a dominant, opulent tuberose. This isn't a delicate floral; it’s thick, buttery, and often described as 'tropical' due to the lush ylang-ylang and a creamy, almost coconut-like almond blossom. The drydown settles into a warm, woody embrace of sandalwood and vanilla, with an earthy whisper of vetiver keeping it grounded.
