Lattafa Maahir Legacy — front-facing product bottle

Lattafa

Maahir Legacy

Inspired alternative

Maahir Legacy shares Sedley's brisk citrus-and-mint direction, adding grapefruit, lime and a little pineapple. Rosemary connects the aromatic middle, with juniper and pepper adding detail. Vetiver and moss suggest a drier, earthier outline beneath its amber-wood finish.
