Lattafa Shahrazad Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray

Lattafa Shahrazad – Eau de Parfum with Oud, Saffron and Vanilla

Fragrance notes: oud, cardamom, guaiac wood, vanilla, saffron, nagarmotha

Six materials that stand together from the first minute to the last. Oud and saffron lead, vanilla and guaiac wood hold the other side.

A fragrance without stages

For Shahrazad, Lattafa carries the same six materials across all three levels: oud, cardamom, guaiac wood, vanilla, saffron and nagarmotha. A separated pyramid would say little, so the notes are listed on a single line here.

In practice that means a fragrance which barely transforms across the wear. What you smell in the first minutes is still with you hours later, only softer and closer to the skin.

The six materials

Oud supplies the resinous, slightly smoky depth and forms the backbone. Guaiac wood stands beside it and brings a dry, almost tarry woody edge.

Saffron and cardamom provide the spice, one dry and honeyed, the other green and cool. Nagarmotha, also known as cypriol, smells earthy and smoky and reinforces the dark side. Vanilla stands against them as the only sweet material and rounds everything off.

What the name carries

Shahrazad is the narrator of the Thousand and One Nights, who tells stories for a thousand nights to stay alive. Lattafa chose this name for a fragrance that is likewise built for duration.

The hold matches. One application in the morning stays with you into the late evening, and on clothing the fragrance remains recognisable for days. Within the Lattafa range Shahrazad is therefore among the most enduring compositions, and at that rate of use the bottle lasts many months.

When it fits

Autumn and winter are its season. In cool air the woody base carries especially far, and indoors the nagarmotha takes effect quickly.

It comes into its own in the evening, at invitations, celebrations and occasions with a dress code. It works during the day too, then in a small amount, because the sillage is powerful.

Application and audience

Apply to neck and wrists and let it settle, do not rub. Go sparingly and work your way towards your own amount. For more presence in winter you can add some to your coat collar. Store the bottle in the dark at room temperature.

For collectors Shahrazad is interesting because it shows well how a fragrance without a classic development behaves. Most compositions live on the impression shifting across hours. Here it stays stable, and attention turns instead to the texture and the density of the six materials.

Men and women wear it equally. Oud, guaiac wood and nagarmotha provide the masculine foundation, vanilla and saffron open it towards the other side. Anyone looking for an uncompromisingly oriental fragrance from Lattafa will find one of the most direct treatments in the range in Shahrazad.
