Maharjan Gold – Lattafa Pride (100 ml EDP)

Product Overview

Maharjan Gold from the Lattafa Pride collection is a unisex Eau de Parfum presented in a 100 ml bottle. Introduced around 2022, it positions itself as a modern yet rooted fragrance: blending aromatic-spicy top notes, a floral-incense heart, and a warm, subtly sweet woody base.

Fragrance Composition

Top Notes: Lavender and Pepper — this opening gives an immediate aromatic freshness tempered by a spicy bite of pepper.
Middle (Heart) Notes: Incense, Tuberose and Jasmine — as the scent develops, the florals and incense bring an elegant depth and slight mystique.
Base Notes: Caramel, Amber, Cedarwood, and Cashmeran — the dry-down is warm and comforting, with a woody structure and a touch of sweet gourmand nuance.

Character & Experience

Maharjan Gold strikes a refined balance: the pepper-lavender combo offers an initial crisp spark, the incense-tuberose-jasmine heart adds a soft elegance, and the caramel-cedar-amber base wraps everything in a warm, more intimate finish. It feels like a fragrance that is confident and sophisticated, rather than lightweight or purely casual.

Ideal Wear & Context

• When to wear: The richer base makes it especially well suited for cooler evenings, formal or semi-formal events, or moments when you want your scent to linger and leave an impression.

• Where: In climates like Lagos (warm/humid), you might apply moderately (2-3 sprays) and perhaps reserve for cooler evenings or air‐conditioned settings, so the richness doesn’t feel heavy.

• Who: It’s labelled unisex and indeed offers elements both for men (pepper-wood) and for women (tuberose-jasmine-caramel). If you enjoy fragrances with character, this is a strong choice.

• Occasion: Date nights, evening social gatherings, or anytime you want a signature scent rather than something you’ll forget you’re wearing.

Longevity & Projection

While individual skin chemistry and environment affect performance, user impressions suggest good staying power with a moderate to bold projection initially that mellows to something more intimate over time. According to one database, longevity is mid-to-high for the category.

Why Consider It?

• Offers complexity: many layers evolve throughout wear (spice → florals/incense → woods/sweetness).

• Excellent value: You get a rich profile usually found in higher-priced niche perfumes, but with accessible pricing.

• Versatile unisex appeal: Works across gender lines and occasions.

• Strong identity: Not a safe “generic freshie” – it stands out, which makes it ideal if you want character in your scent.

Potential Considerations

• In very hot, humid weather it might feel a bit heavy — lighter use recommended in such climates.

• The sweet/woody base means it isn’t purely fresh or aquatic; if you prefer ultra-fresh, minimal scents you may find this richer than you like.

• As with any long-wear, richly composed fragrance, layering and quantity should be mindful to avoid over-saturation in close quarters.
