Mazaaji

Garden party surrounded by casual elegance, cream and white fabrics blowing in the breeze, large chaise lounges, scattered about a clifftop yard overlooking the Pacific highway. High-end sunscreen gets picked up on the breeze and wafts along with trellises of confederate jasmine and honeysuckle, warm sand and honey. Not derivative, it stands out without begging for attention. For anyone looking like a solid, comforting, and warm white floral that isn't a clone of anything else I'd recommend Mazaaji all day long. In fact, I kind of want to gatekeep this one and prefer that it remain obscure. It's one of Lattafa's best-blended fragrances if you let it macerate long enough. On first receipt all I got was coconut, but let that thing sit a few months and you have a smooth, creamy white floral on your hands that is so well-blended that the other notes are kind of imperceptible. Not woody exactly. Not musky. But more than just the flowers, and deeper. Before maceration I also layered that with the Iso E Super and Ambroxan molecules from MiracleLayer, (and still do sometimes) and got compliments everywhere I went. It's also a beautiful woody flower bomb layered over vetiver. For comparison: When you add in the Turab al Dhahab (Ard Al Zaafran) or another coconutty fragrance to something much more basic and linear like Maison Alhambra's Libbra or its YSL equivalent,, what you end up with is a tolerable floral-forward beachy scent that is inoffensive and fun. But when you add it in to Mazaaji, you smell like a warm summer day in the absolute best of ways. But I have also grown to love it on its own merit. It reminds me of the 90s formulation of Coty's Sand & Sable if you didn't know there was supposed to be gardenia in it, but smells more expensive. Projects enough to get noticed without causing annoyance. On my skin, I can apply it in the late afternoon and still smell it faintly on my skin the next morning. In cooler weather Maazaji is less noticeable unless you're up close, and is more mellow. In the heat, it will get noticed when you walk by- and this fragrance will transport you.

My initial thought on this one was "this is something very similar to what my aunt wore when I was little". Mazaaji is a bit warm, a bit bright, and a bit loud and proud of it - much like said aunt. In a good way. I love this one because on my skin it's a bright, warm floral without the screech and therefore a very easy wear for me. The depth from the light touch of patchouli and the slightly powdery sandalwood keeps it from just screaming FLOWERS, but the orange blossoms and roses are definitely at the forefront. With 1 spray under my shirt it easily lasts 8hrs to the degree I can still smell it, but about 4 hours for projection past arm length. I don't want to overwhelm the people around me, so that performance is perfectly fine with me. This is the only perfume I have that my husband will routinely stop and say something about me being the smell he's smelling, and that I smell really nice, which is all the more reason to reach for this one often enough that I'd happily consider Mazaaji signature-worthy. The manufacturing date on my box was roughly one year prior to purchase and the colour in my bottle resembles that of the picture above. My experience with this perfume has been since directly after purchasing, with no months-long ageing afterwards others have required. Based on other reviews of Lataffa perfumes, the bottle being at least a few months old before trying seems to be a key thing to watch for.

Bravo to Lattafa for making such a rich, decadent, gorgeous spot on dupe of Elie Saab Le Parfum Royal. I wore Mazaaji a lot in the spring but put her away to make room for my fall and winter fragrances. Last week I ordered Le Parfum Royal (a tester bottle) on eBay. Anxiously awaiting its arrival, I wore Mazaaji yesterday and was once again blown away by the performance. She was still going STRONG after a long day of shopping, and that never ever happens to me. My menopausal skin just eats up fragrances and at midnight, I was still smelling her like I just applied it. WOW! I love this scent so much! So Le Parfum Royal came in the mail today... Broken and leaked all over the box. Just a teenie tiny bit on the bottle. I wasn't mad, but happy. Now I can get a refund for le Parfum Royal because Mazaaji is freaking IDENTICAL. Not watered down but identical. Rich. This is one of the best blind buys I've ever had and one of the closest dupes I've smelled.

Initially I detect a very fruity scent, maybe it’s the orange blossoms, it is a little citrusy, and there’s also a beautiful blast of white floral which blends beautifully with the rose notes. A little powdery, a little musky but mostly I detect the rose over the top of white floral. It’s really quite beautiful! Feminine, fresh and pretty. An easy reach fragrance for me, suitable for any occasion. It projects at least arms length, maybe more, and lasts on skin about 6 hours, longer on clothes. There’s something really yummy about this scent, but it’s not a four kind scent at all, but I keep wanting to smell my arms :-) it reminds me of another scent I’ve smelled before but I just can’t put my finger on it. Maybe a little like Chanel’s Coco Madamoiselle? Not sure but if I figure it out I will update this. This fragrance is really great value too. Oh & the bottle is gorgeous :-)

I just got this and to say I'm excited is an understatement. When I tried this in store I completely fell in love and had to have it. So I just got it and after one spray, I absolutely positively cannot stop sniffing my hand. This fragrance embodies me to a T. What I've always wanted a perfume to be. The descriptions below are spot on so I will not waste time describing the scent. I don't have anything in my collection quite like this. The dry down is the best part of this scent. This is a spring, winter, date night, intimate gathering kind of scent. I really absolutely love it and it was cheap as chips!. Just got it so cannot speak to the longevity but I will update if impressive. Thank you Lattafa. Update: So I get up to 7 hours on skin,3-4 hrs loud projection. Not bad.

I'm fairly new to the fragrance world and have just started building a (mostly Middle Eastern) collection. This was a blind buy based on some YouTube reviews, so for $18, I went for it. This is now my favorite fragrance! It's such a unique white floral that is so beautiful. Granted, I'm still training my nose to pick up individual notes, but I truly don't think I've ever smelled a perfume like it. I get about 9ish hours of longevity on skin and about 12 hours on clothes. I think this would be good year round, mostly as a daytime scent, but could work for nighttime, too. Definitely signature scent worthy. Maybe mine...?

GORGEOUS!! Identical to Elie Saab Le Parfume Royal! I really like e.s. Royal and when l heard this one is similar l decided to get both because l like this scent profile, thankfully Royal wasn't on stock so l only ordered Mazaaji, now l see they are identical and there's no need to spend more on Elie Saab. Floral, powdery but as far as it gets from clean scent, it feels 'dirty' and even kind of animalic ...if you like JPG Scandal you would probably like this, and if don't like Scandal stay away from this one too, they are not similar in notes but in heavyness and aura they have.

Oh, this really smells like honey! This is not so focused on white flowers, luckily. I'm already totally tired of tuberose for this summer. This isn't a typical oriental musk either, the powderiness of this is more like sensuel rosepowder and this also doesn't have as much airiness or green crispness as several daytime fragrances often have, although the scent is deep and long-lasting, the reflection remains quite reasonable. I would even recommend this for an evening and night time use too...surprisingly sexy and totally feminine 10/10.

I was very meh when I first smelled this. It did remind me slightly of a bug spray. But I've let it sit for about 1 month and I really like it now. It's pretty unique, it doesn't remind me of any other fragrance I have. It's spicy, it's fresh without being a freshie due to the orange blossom, and it smells slightly green like the orange isn't fully ripe yet. It's definitely a mature scent and it's quite difficult to describe - I wouldn't think it smells like it does based on the notes. I feel like this is definitely an any-season scent.

This is a safe blind purchasing , Its an elegant mature fragrance suited for those aged 25 above , It smells like a high quality perfume especially considering its price. -In hot weather : All I can smell is orange bloosom deep in a white floral saop with a hint of powderness that gave the fragrance touch of warmness -In wet weather : I get a vanilla scent -not sweet vanilla- mixte with the smell of orange peel -It’s reminiscent of the fresh, slightly tangy aroma you get when peeling an orange- .

I sometimes layer my Narciso by Narciso with Ellie Saab le parfum to get this heavenly combination of powder, orange blossom and honey. Mazaji is exactly this. Orange blossom and honey with a heavenly powderiness, or more like creaminess, all throughout the development stages of the fragrance. The only difference is this lasts immensely longer and projects gigantically better, and is a fraction of the price. Lattafa has restored my hope in this world.

Why nobody talks about this fragrance, I really don't get it. This is STUNNING. I usually don't like super-floral scents, but this. This is sweet, warm, seductive. Super girly. And the performance. The lasting power is around 8 hours AT LEAST. And it didn't even macerate yet! If you are looking for a fragrance for spring/summer, this is going to do it for you.

Mazaaji is such a beautiful rich and honeyed white floral! The orange blossom and jasmine are perfectly melded together with the sweetest, syrupy honey. There is the slightest hint of lemon and eucalyptus elevating it, making it feel fresh and elegant. A perfect spring time scent, but I wear it anytime! I definitely get the Elie Saab Le Parfum Royal vibe too.

Honestly I love this perfume..It smells more like Jasmine and white floral.The scent is amazing.I love how not so many people know about it so I get to have as my own signature scent making it unique..It's definitely a compliment getter..I get compliments from both men and women .I'm on my 3rd bottle right now.lol..definetly and IT feminine scent.love it

I was digging through my summer flowers and found this little gem again. I wonder why this has gotten so little attention? Isn't the salty summer fragrance boom over yet? For me, this kind of sweetness, without the salty nuances, is a welcome change. Of course, salt has its place, but in the long run it's just so... salty.

Beautiful, beautiful scent. It is very similar to Elie Saab royal. I have and love both. There are slight differences though, it lacks the heavy patchouli of the elie saab and is heavier on the vanilla notes. Overall airier and sweeter. So happy it’s been added to the database. Very feminine and quite long lasting too.

Love love love love it! I want to expand my perfume collection but I'm so tempted to get another bottle as I have gone through the one I've owned for the last 7-8 months so fast! And That's while trying not to reach for it too much

I have the Elie Saab Le Parfum Royale and Im very surprised by how similar smelling this perfume is with it. Omg. Although the patchouli for this one is less potent than elie saab. Love it.

This is so beautiful. It’s a very pretty, sparkling floral fragrance. I absolutely LOVE it. I love Lataffa!

I have been trying to figure out this scent for the longest time. It ́s not linear. Upon the first spray, I can strongly smell sweet citruses (probably orange), orange blossom, and patchouli. In the mid other flowers come out, and the citruses fade away a little bit. In the dry down, vanilla shows up on the scene, but flowers and patchouli are still dominant. I know that the citruses, vanilla, and patchouli aren ́t listed, but I can clearly smell them. Citruses + white florals might sound light, but patchouli and vanilla make it quite heavy. Orange blossom is the strongest flower all the way through, and patchouli is rather green, not dirty. I can strongly smell dill, as Darča mentioned, but only from the nozzle, not on the skin. The smell from the nozzle is bad. Don ́t let it fool you. Overall, it ́s a very pleasant scent for spring/autumn, not for hot summer days. Smells classy and mature. Nice for every day, definitely not for a wedding day. It ́s too mature and heavy for that. I ́m comfortable wearing it in my 30s, but I don ́t wear it when I want to smell youthful. For 13€ this was a steal. It doesn ́t smell cheap at all. I love how this fragrance morphs, and the longevity and sillage are great.

I bought this last year and it somehow reminded me of Versace crystal noir in the dry down + added honey feel. After a year of being macerated, it’s now more smoother and softer. It’s not as screechy as it was when I first got it. For me this is a spring scent, so I figured I bring it to the front of my shelf to wear in the upcoming time. I like it, but it’s not a love.. that’s just my subjective preference. I like how classy and timeless it is, but I’m not a patchouli fan and this is “rich” in patchouli. So it will never be a love. I have tried layering this with other scents. Yesterday I tried with YSL Libre le Parfum. It was ok, nice. The thing is, the perfumes I layer it with, totally overpowering the Mazaaji, yet it has lasting power. So yesterday, at the end of the day, I only smelled the Mazaaji. Tried it with Lattafa Angham now, in hopes of making Angham last longer. So far I only smell Angham with a tiny tad of patchouli - was hoping it would cancelled it out, but as I mentioned.. It’s rich in patchouli. To sum this up. You gotta be a patchouli lover, to really enjoy this perfume.

This was a blind buy based off on the notes and the reviews. I am a gourmand lover but I wanted something more floral for spring and this was a success. What a lovely scent. I have become a huge fan of Arabic perfumes. They really do impress me, with both good silage and longevity. Over to the scent itself, upon first spritz I swear I smell coconut. It immediately reminded me of Versace crystal noir in the dry down and I am over the moon about that. Crystal noir is one of my favorites but I don’t reach for it that much anymore because of the opening notes. Nevertheless, after Mazaaji settles I smell the sweet honey and the white flowers. It really is a beautiful and classy scent. I imagine myself pairing this to an all white suit, golden jewelry and a silk scarf. Can’t wait for spring🤍

The opening has something very "old lady" like, which is something I actually adore in fragrances. It's a very happy and summery scent with a vintage vibe, and that makes it very unique. The white florals are very clean and bright, they somewhat remind me of the white florals from vintage perfumery, but they're made summery and happy, with little to no animalic notes. Sadly, the "vintage" vibe and the florals that I love so much only last for around 15 minutes, leaving room to an extremely powdery sandalwood and a very creamy vanilla. It's basically the only notes I can detect. No jasmine, no orange blossom, no rose, no florals at all. Just sandalwood and vanilla. It still smells really nice, but it borders too much on gourmand to be the kind of fragrance I would normally wear.

This is a gorgeous take on a white floral, there is a distinct note of honey just after the initial spritz that dissipates into vanilla powderiness. I swear these fragrance houses either lie about compositions or heavily redact actual notes. That being said this is a beast mode floral that projects and lasts. I love this! It is intoxicating and a beautiful addition to my vanity tray. The honey is less cloying after that initial burst but having that note makes this different from your average. Value for money is certainly there as this smells very classy. All year round classy, I would use it for night or day. During the day I would spray less. Smells mainly of jasmine and orange blossom but the honey grounds it in a way. Very well done.

This is amazing for under $20. The sillage is incredible. My husband complimented it when he came into the room I was sitting in. And he commented on it again when we were walking the dog later that evening. I absolutely love the first hour or two of this fragrance. It's sweet honey and orange floral. After a couple hours on my skin the sweetness fades and it becomes more earthy than I prefer. For that reason I've been spraying some on my hair and clothes, where the sweetness doesn't deteriorate so quickly. I've heard people call this a good summer perfume, but beware it is a little heavy and would be easy to overspray.

It was disappointing at first: Bungled floral, bug spray, clunky woods. Thank goodness she opened up! There's a touch of bug spray still in the top, but it's a solid mandarin orange floral. A very polite rose tries to sneak in, but not before vanilla peeks through. Amber woods and patchouli hangout all the way to the end. I dig it! I feel like wearing this to either teach or attend university.

Very wearable semi-sweet floral vanilla. Very feminine. I agree that it smells very much like Elie Saab Royal and hubby agrees. The scent is still fresh in memory since I just finished a bottle that he gifted me. I was put onto Mazaji by YouTuber Simin Shaikh. I really like it and I won’t struggle to finish the bottle.

Gives me a spring vibe , as people have mentioned, and the notes are hard to identify. I kind of get a ''honey'' feel of it. I really like this but it feels like the silage is not that great. My partner says it's really good and he gave it an 8. It's sweet , but mature sweet. Orangy-honey sweet.

Love it, unique with a very good silage and projection. Would be a signature fragrance. Good job Lattafa ♥️

Originally bought this nov 2024. I hated it. It smelled of urine. I put it on the shelf with my 300 other scents Revisited it today, March of 2026. Now, it's a sharper floral scent. The urine smell is slightly there but now the urine smell has turned tangy. I don't hate it anymore. I like it, but I won't buy another bottle. I can't see reaching for this one very much. It's weird. Multi faceted, intriguing. Somebody put in their review that it's a modern take on a vintage scent. I agree with that statement.

One of my favorites. My mom smelled it and loved it so much that I gave her a bottle too. We both get fresh roses with some delicious orange, and no bitterness. The powder shows a tiny bit after a few hours but you have to look for it as it's almost not noticeable. The base notes balance the other notes so well. A masterpiece of a fragrance. Strong Sillage, so be careful - don't overspray. It's also long-lasting, so this will last the whole day. To me, this is too strong to use in the summer heat.

Edit 5/08/2025: Tried it again today. Sourness is almost completely gone. Now I’m getting very prominent orange blossom and sandalwood. This has mellowed a lot, and I will leave it a bit longer. Still not a love, but moving into the like territory. Original: Yeah, I am struggling with this one. Not sure if it just needs to sit for a while or what. It’s got an unpleasant sourness to it. And is sooooo strong. I can pick out some notes that I like, but together it’s just too much.

Feels like a summer yellow floral whipped up with soft tropical ice cream and honey. There are other, softly oriental nuances, too, but mainly it stays this linear, sunshiny, but not overly interesting mix. I can see why Mazaaji is popular, but somehow it says nothing to me and makes me feel just plain perfumed with some strong, feminine stuff that lacks character but still shouts. I would probably like it on other people, though, it does leave a pleasant scent trail.

I don't usually like floral scents so I knew I wasn't going to love this fragrance (I mostly got it for the bottle, oops) but it's not the worst thing I've ever smelled. If you like deep, rich floral scents that are perfect for a night out or important events/occasions, this would be your girl. It's very heavy on the rose and jasmine notes. It's a very base line perfume, so you can layer it with very sweet fragrances with the same floral notes.

Okay, so I saw this on TikTok shop and heard a girl. Speak about this saying it’s very much like Libre vibes however I don’t think this is anything like it I find this overly fruity on my skin. I do not dislike it. However I thought I was getting a classy chic fragrance I will keep it in my collection, to see if I get drawn to it later on, however, from how it was described and how I perceive it, there’s quite a difference

Imagine one of those avant-garde high end bouquets: dark jammy red roses, branches of orange blossom and those tiny (very aromatic) tangerines... That's exactly what this is. A very beautiful unique scent, I fell in love as soon as I took a sniff! I super recommend this fragrance. Lasts well, projects well and the scent itself is just absolutely stunning! A different twist on both rose and citrus scents!

It's weird. Sour. I smell strong urine/pee. Not a fan. I've had it for several months. Maceration didn't help. Smells like The Black 92 by Emper to me. (Dupe of Tom Ford The Noir) I've never smelled original so I can't say good bad or ugly. Im a 58 year old woman with over 300 frags. Hard pass for me.

Update: I loved this at first. And it’s good - but it’s way too strong. It gives headaches, and I also find this a bit nauseating. I would never use this in the summer or warm spring days, it’s too much. For fall and winter I reach for other types of scens, so I’ll probably declutter it.

I am on the fence about this one. It opens with something a little sharp and off-putting, but settles into a nice white floral. It’s nothing astounding but it’s pretty..once you get past the opening.

Very powdery, I can smell Roses(I hate roses note) and Orange blossom, It's strong and can be overwhelming but it stays and people can smell you , after dry down it smells more clean and less harsh

Reminiscent of Alien goddess, not identical though, but there is an opulent almost boozy nectar note that is present in both fragrances.

Not a fan I get lemon eucalyptus honey & that's it. Really cant see myself using this.

Overall, a classy and expensive smelling fragrance with a playful side to it. It opens fruity, I'm getting peach and citrus. After that, it's mostly mandarin orange and orange blossom with a hint of Jasmin and honey. Not really getting vanilla until the dry down. Really well blended, smooth, slightly sweet. A confident woman who doesn't care about pleasing others, but is very pleasant nonetheless. I almost love it, but there is something a bit off about it, like an overripe , almost spoiled mandarin orange. Makes that I end up not wearing it. Edit: let is sit for a couple of weeks, and now it's really a blast of rotten mandarin orange over a pretty base, from opening to dry down. Pity.

I’m disappointed because I really wanted to like this perfume, it sounded beautiful on paper. However, this perfume reads as super fruity on me and just...not that nice. It isn’t at ALL what I expected. I barely get any of the powder, rose, or nice floral notes, it’s just a loud fruity citrus on my skin. Granted, I didn’t macerate it, but I don’t even want to hold onto this one long enough to let it macerate. It’s borderline headache-inducing. I’m sure this would be nice on somebody, but that somebody isn’t me.

This is a honeyed orange patchouli bomb- it is LOUD- suffocating in the heat and still very powerful even with only 1 spritz in cooler temps. I let it macerate for almost a year and it still is a monster fragrance. If you want to fill a room with overripe orange patchouli vanilla then this is for you. I gave mine away- it was just too overwhelming.

Not mine, but my moms perfume. I tried it tho, reminds me a lot of the 2000's (i know because i tried a lot of my moms old perfume from that time). Scent wise its quite amber-y, powdery, and quite sweet. Reminds me a lot of Kate Moss Kate Luxury Edition, but this one is a lot more sweet, and less patchouli.

Classic floral. I get fresh rose and sweet patchouli. I wish the scent I got initially, stuck around. When I first got it, I could smell a lot of the citrus and it was quite beautiful. It’s a very work appropriate and mature scent. Longevity is there. It’s okay, just not for me.

Smells like older lady. White diamonds type of vibe. Im so dissapointed bcus i went of a review that said it was so feminine and fresh. Probably gift to my mom or one of my aunts.

Had to give it to my cousin (she loved it), for me it was suffocating, heeeeeavy honey and orange.

I can't smell any flowers or powder, it's only sickening sweet pineapple, I really don't like it.
