Lattafa Ajayeb Dubai Portrait is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Ajayeb Dubai Portrait opens with Lemon and Orange, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Osmanthus, and Mango, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oud. Lattafa's Ajayeb Dubai Portrait carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a truly divisive scent, loved by those who appreciate its unique, woody mango character and hated by others who can't get past the 'green' or 'screechy' notes. Many say it requires significant maceration to reach its potential, so patience is key.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

While some find it office-friendly due to its 'clean' and 'creamy' dry-down, its strong oud and unique profile make it a better fit for casual outings or dates. It's complex enough for some formal settings, but certainly not for sport, given its richness.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Ajayeb Dubai Portrait opens with a citrusy splash of lemon and orange, quickly giving way to an unconventional mango - not the juicy, über-sweet kind, but a greener, more complex fruit. Osmanthus and jasmine add a floral touch before a robust base of oud, sandalwood, musk, and amber grounds the whole affair. The result is a bold, woody mango that often gets compared to tropical shisha or even Christmas tree needles.
