Lattafa Masa 100ml EDP — Saffron And Mango Over Osmanthus And Suede
Saffron · Lemon · Mango · Pink Pepper · Osmanthus · Violet Leaf · Orange Flower · Ginger · Everlasting Flower · Amber · Patchouli · Suede — 100ml Eau de Parfum, 100% authentic Lattafa, dispatched from the UK.
Masa (ماسة) means diamond in Arabic, and the fragrance is built to match: bright and faceted at the top, warm and soft underneath. Lattafa Masa opens on saffron and ripe mango — a combination the house does better than almost anyone at this price — and lands on apricot-toned osmanthus, honeyed everlasting flower and a suede base that feels far more expensive than it is.
It belongs to Lattafa Pride, the house’s premium sub-line, and it is one of the few genuinely refined fruity fragrances in the catalogue: fruity without being sweet, floral without being girly, and quiet enough for the office.
If you have been looking for Masa by Lattafa in the UK, this is the full-size 100ml Eau de Parfum, in stock at £24.99 and dispatched within 24 hours.
The Scent Pyramid at a Glance
Wear-tested at 2–3 sprays · spring and autumn, day into evening
The opening is the reason people buy this. Saffron gives it that leathery, slightly medicinal glow that Middle Eastern perfumery is built on, and mango lands on top of it — ripe and juicy rather than candied. Lemon keeps it sharp and pink pepper adds a dry sparkle so the fruit never turns syrupy.
Osmanthus is the note that makes Masa interesting — a flower that smells of apricot skin and soft leather at the same time, so it picks up both the fruit above it and the suede below. Orange flower adds a clean floral lift, violet leaf keeps it green rather than sweet, and a thread of ginger holds on to the spice from the opening.
Soft rather than heavy. Everlasting flower (immortelle) brings a honeyed, faintly curry-and-maple warmth, amber smooths it, patchouli keeps a little earth underneath, and suede does the finishing — that dry, matte, expensive-leather texture that turns the whole thing from a fruity scent into a composed one.

Sizes, Travel Bottles & Gift Sets
What we stock is the one most people want: Lattafa Masa 100ml (3.4 fl oz) Eau de Parfum, the full-size bottle, at £24.99 with free UK delivery.
Two things worth knowing if you have seen other listings. Lattafa also produces smaller travel formats — a Lattafa Masa 20ml pocket spray turns up in some markets — and Lattafa Masa gift set bundles appear seasonally, usually pairing the bottle with a matching deodorant or a second Pride scent. Neither is a different juice: the fragrance in the 20ml and in the gift set is the same Masa EDP as the 100ml. We list the 100ml because it is the best value per millilitre by a distance, and because gift-set stock is unpredictable. If you specifically want a set for a present, message us before ordering and we will tell you honestly whether one is available.
What It Actually Smells Like
One line: a ripe mango cut with saffron, served on a suede glove.
The first half hour is bright, spicy and tropical — the mango is unmistakable but it is a fresh mango, not a mango sweet, because the saffron and pink pepper keep dragging it dry. Around the one-hour mark the osmanthus takes over and things turn apricot-soft and faintly leathery. From hour three it is mostly base: warm honeyed immortelle, amber, and that dry suede finish sitting close to the skin.
Two honest notes. Performance is moderate, not enormous — expect five to seven hours and a polite trail rather than a room-filler; some wearers find it goes quiet sooner than that. And immortelle is a marmite note: if honeyed, maple-ish warmth is not for you, the drydown is the part you will want to test first.
Performance, Measured
Masa is composed to sit close rather than announce itself — the fruit is loud for an hour and then it becomes a soft, warm skin scent. If you want to be smelled across a room, spray four times or pick something heavier from the range. Performance always varies with skin chemistry and weather.
Is Lattafa Masa a Copy of a Designer Scent?
No — nothing specific. Masa is an original Lattafa Pride composition rather than a copy of a designer bottle, and we would rather say that than bolt a famous name onto it for search traffic.
What it does belong to is a style — saffron-and-fruit over a soft leather base is a modern niche signature, and Masa is one of the most affordable well-made versions of it. If you want our honest read on which Lattafas genuinely are alternatives to designer scents, the Lattafa dupes guide covers the whole range.

The Bottle & Box
The name does the work: masa is Arabic for diamond, and the Lattafa Pride presentation follows that idea — a clean, jewel-like flacon with the Pride mark and 100ml e · EAU DE PARFUM · 3.4 FL.OZ on the packaging, in a rigid box that is well up to gifting standard.
The photographs on this page are of the actual bottle we ship — front, cap and box — so you can see exactly what arrives. Every bottle carries the official holographic Lattafa authentication seal.
Who It’s For
- Buy it if you like fruity fragrances but are tired of the sweet, sugary ones — this is fruit with spice and leather under it.
- Buy it if you want something genuinely unisex that will not read as loud in an office.
- Buy it if you are curious about saffron and osmanthus and do not want to spend niche money to try them.
- Buy it if you are gifting — the Pride box presents far above £24.99.
- Skip it if you want maximum projection and 12-hour longevity. Try Pride King of Arabia instead.
- Skip it if honeyed immortelle in a drydown is not your thing, or if you wanted a straight tropical mango — Leen is the fruitier, louder alternative.
Why Buy Masa From Royal Scents
Every bottle is genuine Lattafa, sourced properly and stored in the UK. And you will notice we told you the longevity is moderate, that it is not a clone of anything, and which bottle to buy instead if you wanted something louder — because we would rather sell you the right fragrance than process your return.

Good to Know Before You Buy
- Spray it on clothing as well as skin. The suede and amber hold on to fabric, and that is where the extra hours come from.
- Give it a rest if it arrives sharp. A few weeks settles the saffron and lets the osmanthus come forward. More on maceration →
- Three sprays, not one. This is a close-wearing fragrance by design — under-applying is the usual reason people say it disappeared.
- It is better in mild weather. Heavy heat flattens the mango; spring and autumn are where it sits best.
Lattafa Masa FAQs
Which notes are in Masa?
Top notes are saffron, lemon, mango and pink pepper. The heart is osmanthus, violet leaf, orange flower and ginger. The base is everlasting flower, amber, patchouli and suede — twelve notes in a floral-fruity structure.
Is Lattafa Masa a copy of another perfume?
No. It is an original composition from the premium Lattafa Pride line rather than a copy of a designer fragrance. Its saffron-fruit-over-suede structure is a modern niche style, but it is not a clone of one specific scent.
What does Masa smell like?
Saffron and ripe mango with lemon and pink pepper for the first half hour, then apricot-toned osmanthus and orange flower, drying down into honeyed everlasting flower, amber and soft suede. Bright and spicy at the start, warm and refined at the end.
How long does Lattafa Masa last?
Around five to seven hours on skin at two to three sprays, strongest in the first hour and close-wearing after that. Longer again on clothing.
Is Masa for men or women?
Unisex. The saffron, ginger and suede lean masculine, the osmanthus and orange flower lean feminine, and it balances either way.
How much is Lattafa Masa in the UK?
£24.99 for the full 100ml Eau de Parfum bottle at Royal Scents, with free tracked UK delivery and dispatch within 24 hours.
Is there a Lattafa Masa 20ml or a Lattafa Masa gift set?
Lattafa does produce a 20ml travel spray and seasonal gift sets in some markets, and the juice inside is identical. We stock the full-size 100ml because it is far better value per millilitre — ask us if you specifically need a set for a present.
What does the bottle look like?
A jewel-inspired Lattafa Pride flacon — masa means diamond in Arabic — supplied in a rigid gift-grade box marked 100ml e · Eau de Parfum · 3.4 fl oz. The photographs on this page show the exact bottle and packaging we ship.
