Maahir is an absolute beast - a powerful, divisive Middle Eastern fragrance. If you want a loud, room-filling rose-oud with huge sillage, this is your horse.

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

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its beast-mode projection and powerful oud-rose accords, Maahir is best reserved for formal events or evening dates where it can truly shine without overwhelming. Its intensity makes it unsuitable for office or casual wear.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Prepare for a rich, bold opening of saffron and rose, not the fruity notes you might expect. It quickly deepens into a leathery, amber heart with akigalawood adding a distinctive edge. The dry down is a powerful embrace of smoky oud, vanilla, and musk, leaving a profound, long-lasting trail. It's a heady, luxurious blend that demands attention.
