A floral perfume is one built mainly around flowers, and the family splits into clear styles: rose, jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom, white-flower bouquets, fruity florals and powdery florals. For the fullest floral scent in our range, start with Lattafa Fakhar Rose Gold (£18.99): tuberose, jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang, rose, honeysuckle and peony over vanilla and white musk.
Want a rose? Try Mohra Silky Rose (£13.99). A floral anyone can share? Afeef (£23.99), listed for women and men. The lowest price? Asdaaf Prive Rose (£12.99).

“Floral” is the biggest family in perfumery, and also the vaguest. A soft pink rose, a creamy tuberose and a sugary violet are all floral scents, yet they smell nothing alike. Many people who “don’t like florals” simply dislike one particular flower.
This guide maps the whole floral family: what a floral perfume is, how the sub-families differ, then eight in-stock Lattafas organised by flower type rather than by gender. Each section links to our deeper guide on that note. Every pyramid was checked on Fragrantica, and on lattafa.com where the brand lists it.
What is a floral perfume?
A floral perfume is one where flowers do most of the talking. Fruit, musk, vanilla or woods can still be there, but the heart of the scent, the part you smell for most of the day, is built from petals. Some florals focus on a single flower; perfumers call those soliflores. Most blend several flowers so that no single one dominates.
One well-known map of perfume families, Michael Edwards’ Fragrance Wheel (first created in 1992), divides the floral family into three groups: floral (fresh, cut-flower scents), soft floral (aldehydic and powdery scents) and floral amber (flowers such as orange blossom warmed with sweet spice and resins). Below we use six simpler sub-families, named after the flower that leads.
Few flowers give oil easily. Rose, jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom can be extracted, but gardenia, lily of the valley, peony and violet flower are usually recreated from a blend of materials. That is how the smell of flowers reaches almost every modern bottle.
The six floral sub-families, explained
Use these to work out which flowers you actually like. If a perfume you love lists one of them in its heart, the others in that group are a safe next step.
Rose
Jasmine
Tuberose and orange blossom
White-flower bouquet
Fruity floral
Powdery floral
Rose perfumes
Rose is the flower most people picture when they hear “floral scent”. These two show its two most popular modern faces: soft and musky, or sweet and jammy. Searching by bottle colour? Our rose gold perfume guide explains why “rose gold” is a look, not a smell. Want rose on a darker, woodier base? See our guide to rose and oud perfumes.
1. Lattafa Mohra Silky Rose
Notes: rose, litchi, pink pepper / rose, musk, lily of the valley / musk, vanilla, patchouli. Fragrantica lists rose in both the top and the heart.
This is rose made modern. Litchi gives the opening a juicy, slightly tropical lift, and the musk in the heart and base makes the flower feel silky rather than powdery or old-fashioned. Fragrantica voters rank rose as its leading accord, followed by musky and fruity, so you get a clear rose without the soapy edge some people dislike.
It rates 4.06 out of 5 from 754 Fragrantica votes. It sits close to the skin; our Mohra Silky Rose review has the detail.

2. Asdaaf Ameerat Al Arab Prive Rose
Notes: strawberry, grapes, orange / rose, white musk, jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang, lily / tonka bean, amber, sandalwood. Asdaaf is one of Lattafa’s houses.
Where Mohra Silky Rose is airy, Prive Rose is plush. Strawberry and grape make the opening jammy, and the rose is cushioned by a crowd of white flowers, so it reads creamy rather than green. Fragrantica’s top accords are rose, sweet and fruity, with white floral and powdery further down. Tonka, amber and sandalwood keep the finish warm.
It launched in 2023 and rates 3.89 out of 5 from 1,209 votes. At £12.99 for 100ml, it is the lowest-priced floral in this guide.

Price: £12.99 · 100ml · in stock
Jasmine
Jasmine appears in five of the eight pyramids here, usually in a supporting role. Dalal is where it leads. For six jasmines grouped by style, read our guide to the best jasmine perfumes in the UK.
3. Lattafa Dalal
Notes: apple, mandarin / jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange / vanilla, musk, oakmoss. Lattafa lists the heart’s third note as orange flower.
Dalal is the sunniest floral here. Fragrantica voters rank white floral and yellow floral as its top two accords, with citrus third, so the jasmine and ylang-ylang come wrapped in crisp apple and mandarin. The oakmoss in the base keeps the vanilla from turning sugary and gives it a polished, grown-up finish.
At 4.33 out of 5 from 520 votes, it is the highest-rated pick in this guide. An easy office-to-weekend floral; for more desk-friendly bottles, see our best Lattafa perfumes for the office.

Tuberose and orange blossom
Tuberose is the diva of the flower world: creamy, buttery and loud. Orange blossom is its brighter, cleaner cousin. Our guide to what tuberose smells like explains the note in depth. For tuberose with a smoky twist, our Lattafa Her Confession review covers a tuberose, jasmine and incense blend.
4. Lattafa Afeef
Notes: peach, pink pepper, bergamot / orange blossom, tuberose, jasmine / praline, amber, sandalwood, patchouli. Fragrantica and lattafa.com list the same ten notes.
Afeef shows how a white floral can be shared. Peach and bergamot open it, then orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine form a creamy heart. Fragrantica’s leading accord is white floral, followed by sweet and woody, and the sandalwood, amber and patchouli base is what keeps it from leaning purely feminine. Lattafa sells it as unisex and Fragrantica lists it for women and men.
It launched in 2024 and rates 3.94 out of 5 from 775 votes. Wearer impressions (paraphrased from Fragrantica reviews): many enjoy the peaches-and-cream feel, while some find the patchouli in the drydown heavier than the bright opening suggests.
Listed for: women and men
Price: £23.99 (was £49.99) · 100ml · in stock
White-flower bouquet
A bouquet floral does not pick a favourite. It layers several flowers so the effect is a full armful of blooms rather than a single stem.
5. Lattafa Fakhar Rose Gold
Notes: fruits, lily, pomegranate, aldehydes / tuberose, jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang, honeysuckle, rose, peony / vanilla, white musk, sandalwood, ambroxan. Fragrantica lists it as Fakhar Rose.
No other bottle here packs in more flowers. Seven of them fill the heart, led by tuberose and jasmine, while aldehydes give the opening a clean, sparkling lift. Fragrantica voters rank white floral, fruity and tuberose as its top three accords. The vanilla, white musk and sandalwood base softens the bouquet as it dries down.
It launched in 2022 and rates 4.02 out of 5 from 3,719 votes, the most-voted floral in this guide after Yara. Our Fakhar Rose Gold vs Yara comparison shows how it differs from the softer pink bottle.

Fruity floral
Fruity florals put juicy notes up front and let the flowers arrive later. This one has a twist underneath.
6. Lattafa Ajwad Pink to Pink
Notes: guava, pink grapefruit, litchi, pink pepper / rose, peony, magnolia / leather, musk, ambergris, vanilla, moss. Lattafa lists raspberry in place of litchi.
Guava and pink grapefruit open it bright and tart, then rose, peony and magnolia make a light, petal-soft heart. The base is the surprise: leather and moss sit under the musk and vanilla. Fragrantica’s top accords are fruity, tropical and leather, which is exactly why it works for anyone, not just fans of pink bottles. Fragrantica lists it for women and men.
It launched in 2024 and rates 3.44 out of 5 from 616 votes, the most divisive score here. Note that it is a 60ml bottle.
Listed for: women and men
Price: £14.01 · 60ml · in stock
Powdery florals: violet and heliotrope
Powdery florals are the “soft floral” corner of the wheel: sweet, cosmetic and comforting, like face powder or sugared sweets. Violet and heliotrope are the classic notes. For more on the first, see our guide to what violet smells like in perfume.
7. Lattafa Petra Viola
Notes: raspberry, violet, pink pepper / jasmine, lily of the valley, cotton candy / cedarwood, sandalwood, musk. Fragrantica and lattafa.com list the same nine notes.
Petra Viola is the candy-shop floral. Raspberry and violet make a sweet, berry-tinted opening, and the cotton candy in the heart turns jasmine and lily of the valley soft and sugary. Fragrantica voters rank sweet, powdery and fruity as its top accords, with white floral and violet next. The cedar and sandalwood base gives it just enough structure.
It is a 2026 release in Lattafa’s Pride line and already rates 4.26 out of 5, though from a smaller pool of 229 votes. It is also the priciest bottle here.
Listed for: women
Price: £39.99 · 100ml · in stock
8. Lattafa Yara
Notes: orchid, heliotrope, tangerine / gourmand accord, tropical fruits / vanilla, musk, sandalwood. As listed on Fragrantica.
Yara sits on the border between floral and gourmand. Its flowers are all in the opening: orchid and heliotrope, the almond-and-vanilla flower that gives so many perfumes their powdery softness. After that, a creamy gourmand accord takes over. Fragrantica’s top accords are sweet, vanilla and powdery, with floral seventh, so choose it if you want a floral hint inside a cosy sweet scent rather than a bouquet.
It launched in 2020 and rates 3.93 out of 5 from 12,639 votes, by far the most-voted bottle in this guide. See our Lattafa Yara review.

How to choose your floral scent
Start from a flower you already like, then read the base: vanilla, praline and tonka make a floral sweeter, musk keeps it clean, and leather or oakmoss make it drier. Citrusy and fruity florals (Dalal, Ajwad Pink to Pink) suit warm weather; jammy and sweet ones (Prive Rose, Petra Viola) suit autumn and winter. Ignore the gender label if you like the notes: our best unisex Lattafa perfumes guide has more shared bottles. Shopping for her across every scent family, not just florals? See our best Lattafa perfumes for women, or the oud perfumes for women guide for florals with agarwood. To browse every flower-led bottle, see the Lattafa floral perfumes collection.
We do not print longevity hours, because Lattafa does not publish them and wearer reports vary widely; our guide to why perfume smells different on everyone explains part of the reason. A new bottle can also smell sharper before it has rested; our maceration guide explains why.
