Lattafa Shahd is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Shahd opens with Ylang-Ylang and Frangipani, settles into a heart of Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vanilla. Lattafa's Shahd carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A radiant, creamy yellow floral with surprising heft, Shahd is a crowd-pleasing scent that punches well above its price point. It's got that 'rich lady' appeal without the hefty price tag, making it a brilliant blind buy for most. Some find it a bit too loud or mature, but for many, it's a confident, sunny hug in a bottle.

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.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Shahd opens with a sunny, tropical burst of frangipani and ylang-ylang, evoking warm, golden sunshine. The heart introduces a creamy tuberose alongside an ethereal solar note, adding a luminous quality. The drydown settles into a comforting embrace of soft musk, warm amber, and a touch of vanilla, all grounded by a subtle cedar base. It's a sophisticated floral with a smooth transition from bright to mellow.
