Lattafa Hayaati 100ml EDP – The Fresh, Fruity-Spicy Signature Under £15
Lattafa Hayaati is a fresh woody-aromatic Eau de Parfum built on crisp apple and bergamot, warmed with cinnamon and finished on a clean musk-vanilla base. Launched in 2020, it remains one of the best-value fragrances Lattafa has ever made — this is the full-size 100ml bottle at £14.99, 100% authentic and dispatched within 24 hours.
Also sold as “Hayaati Black”. If you have been searching for Lattafa Hayaati Black, this is the same fragrance — the original Hayaati comes in a black bottle, and retailers use the two names interchangeably. It is one product with one barcode; there is no separate “Black” variant.
Lattafa Hayaati Notes
Top notes — Apple, Bergamot. A crisp, juicy opening — green apple against zesty bergamot. Clean rather than sweet, and it sparkles for the first twenty minutes.
Heart notes — Cinnamon Bark, Woody Notes. A warm, spicy-woody heart. The cinnamon gives Hayaati its backbone and stops the apple reading as a shampoo accord.
Base notes — Musk, Vanilla. A soft, clean drydown — smooth musk with just enough vanilla to keep it warm and skin-close.
This pyramid is Lattafa’s own, and it is confirmed identically by Parfumo, FragranceX and Notino.
Lattafa Hayaati Review — Our Verdict
The short version: the best fresh-spicy crowd-pleaser Lattafa sells under £15, and the one we hand to people buying their first Arabian fragrance.
The scent. Hayaati opens bright and fruity — a proper fresh blast — and then does something more interesting than most budget freshies: the cinnamon arrives and gives it warmth and a bit of grown-up spice before the musk-vanilla base smooths everything into a clean, almost soapy finish. Reviewers describe it as reading “fresh out of the shower” at the top and “warm and grown-up” by the base. That arc is why it works from a Monday morning through to a Friday night.
The catch. It can smell synthetic in the opening before it settles, and some reviewers find it generic — “fabric softener” and “bubblegum” both come up. It is not an original composition and it does not pretend to be. Fresh bottles benefit from a few weeks resting in a dark drawer; our maceration guide explains why.
Performance. Reviewers report 6–8 hours on skin, with strong projection for the first two to three hours, and considerably longer on clothing. Parfumo scores it 7.7 for longevity and 7.5 for sillage across more than 240 ratings — but the number that tells the real story is value for money at 8.9 out of 10, its highest-rated attribute by a wide margin.
Who should skip it. Anyone wanting something unusual, niche or complex. Hayaati is deliberately easy and it will smell familiar.
What Is Lattafa Hayaati a Dupe Of?
Being straight with you: this one is a soft comparison rather than a hard clone.
Hayaati is most often likened to Rasasi Hawas and Paco Rabanne Invictus — the same fresh, fruity, lightly spiced aquatic DNA — and it sits close to Lattafa Najdia in the house’s own catalogue. Reviewers describe it as a budget interpretation of that style rather than a direct copy, and different sources name different references (some add Versace Eros to the list), which itself tells you there is no single target.
Notably, the big curated Lattafa dupe lists include Hayaati Al Maleky but not the original Hayaati at all. So: if you love the Hawas/Invictus style, Hayaati will feel instantly familiar and cost you a fifth as much. Just do not buy it expecting a note-for-note clone.

The Hayaati Line — Which One Should You Buy?
Four fragrances share the Hayaati name and they are genuinely different. Buyers mix them up constantly, so here is the whole line:
Hayaati (2020, black bottle) — this one. Apple and bergamot over cinnamon and woods, on musk and vanilla. Fresh, sweet, casual, unisex. The Hawas and Invictus adjacent one, and the cheapest of the four.
Hayaati Gold Elixir — grapefruit, bergamot and cassis over peach, saffron and leather, on vetiver, vanilla and musk-amber. Sweet, leathery and dressy. The Armani Code Profumo alternative, and the one to buy for evenings.
Hayaati Al Maleky (2022, blue bottle) — nutmeg, pink pepper and ginger over cedar, incense and labdanum, on amber, musk and ambergris. Spicy and woody. The Paco Rabanne Phantom alternative.
Hayaati Florence (2023) — lychee, grapefruit and red currant over rose, peach and cedarwood, on vanilla, praline and amber. Feminine and fruity — the Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl alternative.
Buying advice: start with the original if you want a versatile daily fresh scent, Gold Elixir if you want something dressier, Al Maleky if you specifically want the Phantom style, and Florence if you are shopping for a woman who likes sweet fruity florals.
Price & Size — Lattafa Hayaati Price in the UK
Hayaati is £14.99 for a 100ml Eau de Parfum, with free UK delivery — roughly 15p per ml, or around 950–1,000 sprays. It is sold as 100ml only; a small travel spray and a deodorant/hair mist set exist in some markets but are not part of the standard UK line-up.
UK stockists we checked in July 2026 ranged from £13.99 to £18.50, with Notino at £18.50. Note that Superdrug stocks Florence, Gold Elixir and Al Maleky but not the original, so there is no high-street anchor price for this one.
Lattafa Hayaati Bottle & Packaging
Hayaati comes in a black glass flacon with a clear cap and metallic detailing, in a matching black and silver carton — which is exactly why it gets called “Hayaati Black”. Its stablemate Al Maleky gets called “Hayaati Blue” for the same reason. The bottle is the line’s weakest-rated attribute on Parfumo, so expect solid rather than spectacular, and every unit carries the official Lattafa holographic seal — our UK authentication guide shows what to check.
Performance & When To Wear It
Spring, autumn and cooler summer evenings are Hayaati’s natural home. It is polished enough for the office, easy enough for the weekend and lively enough for a night out, which is the whole appeal. Two to three sprays; more on clothing if you want it to last into the evening.
Who It’s For & Styling
Officially unisex — Lattafa and Fragrantica both classify it “for women and men” — but be aware it is marketed and worn predominantly as masculine. Parfumo files it as a men’s fragrance and Amazon UK sells it that way. Plenty of women wear it and it works, but it is a fresh-spicy scent rather than a floral or sweet one, so go in expecting that.
It is built for people who want one bottle that does everything. Newcomers love it as a safe, high-performing first purchase; collectors keep it on rotation as a reliable no-fuss option.
Lattafa Hayaati in the Range
If Hayaati’s fresh-spicy character appeals, the natural next steps at Royal Scents are Blue Sapphire for a sweeter fresh masculine, Hayaati Gold Elixir for the dressier leathery flanker, or the wider Lattafa for men and Lattafa under £20 collections.

Lattafa Hayaati FAQs
What does Lattafa Hayaati smell like?
Crisp green apple and bergamot at the top, warm cinnamon and soft woods in the heart, and a clean musk-vanilla drydown. Fresh and fruity at first, warmer and slightly spicy after an hour — clean rather than sweet.
Is Lattafa Hayaati the same as Hayaati Black?
Yes. The original Hayaati ships in a black bottle, and “Hayaati Black” is a retailer nickname for it — same product, same barcode. Lattafa has never released a separate “Black” variant. The same thing happens with Al Maleky, which gets called “Hayaati Blue”.
What is Lattafa Hayaati a dupe of?
It is most often likened to Rasasi Hawas and Paco Rabanne Invictus, and it sits close to Lattafa’s own Najdia. It is best described as a budget interpretation of that fresh fruity-spicy style rather than a direct clone — sources name different references, which tells you there is no single target.
How long does Lattafa Hayaati last?
Reviewers report 6–8 hours on skin with strong projection for the first two to three hours, and considerably longer sprayed on clothing. Parfumo rates longevity 7.7 and sillage 7.5 out of 10.
What are the notes in Lattafa Hayaati?
Top: apple, bergamot. Heart: cinnamon bark, woody notes. Base: musk, vanilla. Anything beyond those six notes on another listing is invented — some retailers add a spurious patchouli.
What is the difference between Hayaati, Hayaati Gold Elixir and Hayaati Al Maleky?
Hayaati is the fresh apple-cinnamon original in the black bottle. Gold Elixir is the sweet, leathery grapefruit-peach-saffron one and the Armani Code Profumo alternative. Al Maleky is the spicy woody-amber in the blue bottle and the Paco Rabanne Phantom alternative. Hayaati Florence is the fruity-floral feminine flanker.
Is there a Lattafa Hayaati Woman?
Not from Lattafa. “Hayaati Women” is a fragrance by Ard Al Zaafaran, a different house. The feminine option within Lattafa’s Hayaati line is Hayaati Florence. There is also an unrelated “Hayaati” by Fragrance World — check the brand on the box.
How much is Lattafa Hayaati in the UK?
£14.99 for 100ml at Royal Scents with free UK delivery. UK stockists ranged from £13.99 to £18.50 when we last checked.
Is it for men or women?
Officially unisex, but marketed and worn predominantly as masculine. It suits anyone who likes fresh, fruity, lightly spiced fragrances.
