Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue 100ml EDP — A Citrus, Spice & Oud Woody Oriental
Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue is an oriental-woody Eau de Parfum where bergamot, citrus and aromatic spices open over amber, soft florals and musk, and land on agarwood (oud), patchouli and sandalwood. It is a mainline Lattafa release from 2024 — a flanker of the long-running Lail Maleki rather than a premium sub-line launch — and this is the full-size 100ml (3.4 oz) bottle at £11.99, 100% authentic and dispatched within 24 hours. If you have been searching for Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue in the UK, this is level with the cheapest listing we could find, delivery included.
Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue Notes
Top notes — bergamot, citrus, aromatic spices. A bright, dry opening rather than a sweet one. Bergamot leads with its familiar bitter-floral lift, the wider citrus accord widens it out, and the aromatic spices arrive almost immediately underneath — warm and peppery rather than sharp. This is the single biggest surprise for anyone coming from the original Lail Maleki, which opens on fruit and honey; Moroccan Blue opens like a fougère.
Heart notes — amber, floral notes, musk. The middle is the transition rather than the destination. Amber turns up early and does the heavy lifting, giving the citrus somewhere warm to fall; the florals are unspecified in Lattafa’s own listing and read as a soft, generic white-floral cushion rather than a named bouquet; musk smooths the seam between the fresh top and the woody base. It is a short heart — within the hour the oud is already showing through.
Base notes — agarwood (oud), patchouli, sandalwood. This is what you buy the bottle for. The oud is the clean, smooth, modern kind rather than the barnyard-and-plaster kind — it adds depth and a resinous darkness without the medicinal edge that puts people off real agarwood. Patchouli brings earth, sandalwood brings cream, and the three together give a drydown that is noticeably drier and darker than anything else in the Lail Maleki family.
A note on the notes — worth reading before you compare listings. Moroccan Blue is routinely mis-listed, and our own earlier draft of this page was wrong too. You will find UK sellers publishing a honey-and-caramel gourmand pyramid for it — fruity notes and spices over jasmine, honey and amber, on sandalwood, oud, caramel and musk. That is the original Lail Maleki’s composition with an oud bolted on, and it is not what is in this bottle. Others list saffron, jasmine and cedarwood, and at least one UK listing describes a vanilla base. Lattafa’s own US site, and the independent listings and reviews that follow it, all publish the same pyramid: bergamot and citrus with aromatic spices, then amber, florals and musk, then agarwood, patchouli and sandalwood, launched in 2024 as an oriental woody. That is the record we trust. If a listing tells you Moroccan Blue is a sweet honeyed gourmand, it has confused it with its own predecessor.
Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue Review — What It Smells Like
The short version: a bright citrus-and-spice opening that drops onto smooth modern oud and creamy sandalwood inside an hour. Dry, dark and masculine-leaning, but not heavy or smoky. Far more wearable than “oud” on the label suggests.
The scent. The first ten minutes are genuinely fresh — bergamot and a broad citrus lift, with a peppery spice warmth building underneath. Then it starts to descend. Amber and musk pull the brightness down into something rounder, the florals blur past without ever announcing themselves, and by the forty-minute mark you are into the woods. The oud is smooth and slightly sweet rather than animalic, patchouli gives it earth, and sandalwood gives it a creamy edge that stops the whole thing turning austere. It is an easy, well-blended composition — the sort of thing that reads as more expensive than £11.99, which is exactly the Lattafa proposition.
The catch. Two of them. First, the heart is thin. Lattafa lists “floral notes” without naming any, and that is honest of them, because there is not much there — this is effectively a two-act fragrance, citrus-spice then oud-woods, with a hurried transition. If you want a composition that unfolds slowly, this is not it. Second, performance is decent but not exceptional. The independent user reporting we could find puts it at around six to eight hours with moderate sillage — a pleasant trail rather than a room-filler. The community rating data on the main fragrance databases is effectively non-existent for this release, so we are quoting the little that exists rather than pretending to an aggregate.
Who should skip it. Anyone expecting a sweet, honeyed fragrance because of the Lail Maleki name — buy the original for that. Anyone who wants real, funky, medicinal agarwood; this is the polished commercial kind. And anyone who needs eight hours of loud projection from two sprays.
Is Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue a Dupe? What Is It a Clone Of?
There is no verified dupe. We searched the Lattafa dupe indexes and the comparison sites and found nothing: Moroccan Blue does not appear in the major Lattafa clone lists, Lattafa names no inspiration for it, and the independent review coverage that does exist explicitly says it stands on its own. Anyone telling you Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue is a dupe of a specific designer bottle is guessing. The original Lail Maleki is widely compared to a niche floral — Moroccan Blue is not, and inheriting the name does not inherit the comparison.
What it does share is a family. Citrus and spice over smooth oud, patchouli and sandalwood is one of the most heavily worked seams in modern Middle Eastern perfumery, and Lattafa alone has a dozen fragrances in that territory. If a Type A close match is what you are after, our Lattafa dupes guide sets out which Lattafa releases genuinely qualify and which are only inspired-by.
Closest in our own range: Blue Oud is the nearest thing we stock — oud, apple, bergamot and saffron over guaiac and sandalwood; Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud for a warmer, smokier oud with vanilla and leather; Al Dana if the citrus-to-smoky-woods arc is what appeals; and Al Areeq Gold for saffron, incense and suede in place of the oud. The rest of the style sits in our Lattafa oud collection, and the Bade’e Al Oud collection is the house’s best-known take on it.
Price & Size — Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue Price in the UK
Moroccan Blue is £11.99 for a 100ml (3.4 oz) Eau de Parfum with free UK delivery — about 13p per ml, or roughly 950–1,000 sprays from the bottle. For an oud-based fragrance that is close to the floor of what is possible.
Across UK listings surveyed in August 2026 we found it between £12.99 and £24.99, with £24.99 appearing as the standard list price and £19.99 as the common discounted price. Lattafa’s own US site lists it at $29.99. We are level with the cheapest UK price we could find rather than below it, and we are not going to claim otherwise — but delivery is included here. Treat £24.99 as full list rather than a bargain, and treat anything under £9 as worth checking carefully for authenticity.
Bottle, Size & Authenticity
Moroccan Blue is a 100ml (3.4 oz) Eau de Parfum spray in Lattafa’s standard mainline presentation with a printed carton — the gallery images above show the bottle and box as you will receive them. 100ml is the only size we could verify anywhere; there is no 30ml, 50ml or travel size in circulation that we could find.
We also found no Moroccan Blue gift set and no matching body spray or deodorant. The original Lail Maleki does have a 250ml perfumed deodorant spray, but it is a different scent — do not buy it expecting this one. If a set is what brought you here, the 100ml bottle on this page is the fragrance.
Every bottle carries the official Lattafa holographic authentication seal. Our UK authentication guide shows exactly what to check on the seal, the QR code and the carton if you are buying Lattafa anywhere else.
Performance & When To Wear It
This is an autumn and winter fragrance first, and a cool-evening fragrance second. The citrus opening gives it just enough lift to work on a mild spring day, but the oud-patchouli-sandalwood base is what you will be wearing for most of the day and it needs some cold around it. Office wear is fine in winter; a hot afternoon is not its setting.
Expect around six to eight hours from the independent reporting available, with moderate sillage — a trail people will notice at conversational distance rather than across a room. Two to three sprays is the right amount; the oud rewards restraint and punishes a heavy hand.
Like most Lattafa releases, Moroccan Blue benefits from a few weeks resting in a dark drawer before you judge it. Our maceration guide explains why a fresh bottle can read sharp and solvent-heavy on the opening and settle considerably — it matters here, because a fresh spray can make the citrus top feel thin and the oud feel abrupt.
Who It’s For & Styling
Classification is split. Lattafa’s own US listing describes Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue by Lattafa as an oriental woody fragrance for men while selling it as a unisex spray, the major fragrance database files it as a men’s fragrance, and several retailers list it as unisex. All of that is defensible: it leans masculine through the dry citrus and the oud, but there is nothing gendered about citrus-spice-oud and it wears well on anyone who likes woods. We list it across both our Lattafa for men and unisex collections; our by gender guide explains how we make those calls.
Style-wise it is smart-casual to formal: dark colours, wool, evening dinners, and the sort of occasion where you want to smell deliberate. It is not a gym or a beach fragrance.
Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue in the Range
Within the Lattafa range, Moroccan Blue is a 2024 addition to a name that has been running since 2018, and it is the most conventionally masculine thing to carry that name. At £11.99 it also undercuts almost every one of the house’s best sellers while sitting in the same value-oud territory.
The family matters here. Lattafa Lail Maleki, the 2018 original, is a completely different fragrance: fruity, spicy and citrus notes over jasmine, honey, gardenia and orchid, landing on sandalwood, amber, caramel and musk — a sweet, honeyed, feminine-leaning floral amber. There is also an Oud Lail Maleki, a third variant that goes in a saffron-rose-and-oud direction. Moroccan Blue is not an intensified version of either; it is a separate composition that shares only a name and a house style. We stock the original Lail Maleki as well, so ask if you would like to compare the two.

Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue FAQs
What does Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue perfume smell like?
Bright citrus and warm spice for the first half hour, then smooth oud, patchouli and creamy sandalwood for the rest of the wear. Dry, dark and masculine-leaning rather than sweet. The oud is the polished modern kind, not the medicinal barnyard kind, so it is an easy fragrance to wear even if agarwood normally puts you off.
What are the Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue notes?
Top: bergamot, citrus, aromatic spices. Heart: amber, floral notes, musk. Base: agarwood (oud), patchouli, sandalwood. That is the pyramid Lattafa publishes on its own US site, and it is echoed by the independent retailers and reviewers who follow it. Lattafa does not name the florals, which is why our listing does not either.
Why do some listings show honey, caramel or vanilla for Moroccan Blue?
Because they have confused it with the original Lail Maleki, which really is a honey-and-caramel fragrance. Others publish saffron, jasmine and cedarwood, or a vanilla base. None of that matches Lattafa’s own record. We had the wrong pyramid on this page ourselves before this review and have corrected it rather than splitting the difference.
What is Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue a dupe of, or a clone of?
Nothing verified. It does not appear in the established Lattafa dupe indexes, Lattafa names no inspiration, and the independent review coverage says it stands on its own. Claims that Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue is a dupe of some particular designer bottle are guesswork. It sits in the citrus-spice-oud family, which is crowded, but it is not copying a specific original.
What is the difference between Lattafa Lail Maleki and Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue?
They share a name and almost nothing else. Lail Maleki (2018) is sweet and floral: fruit, spice and citrus over jasmine, honey, gardenia and orchid, on sandalwood, amber, caramel and musk — a honeyed, feminine-leaning amber. Moroccan Blue (2024) is dry and woody: bergamot, citrus and aromatic spices over amber, florals and musk, on oud, patchouli and sandalwood. A third variant, Oud Lail Maleki, goes the saffron-rose-oud route. Choose Moroccan Blue if you want oud and Lail Maleki if you want honey.
How long does Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue last?
Around six to eight hours with moderate sillage, based on the independent user reporting available. That is decent rather than exceptional. The major fragrance databases carry almost no community rating data for this 2024 release, so we are quoting what exists rather than presenting an aggregate we do not have. Two to three sprays is the right dose.
Is Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue for men or women?
Lattafa describes it as an oriental woody fragrance for men while selling it as a unisex spray, and one major database classifies it as masculine. It leans masculine through the dry citrus and the oud, but nothing in the composition is gender-specific. We stock it as both men’s and unisex.
How much is Lattafa Lail Maleki Moroccan Blue in the UK, and is there a gift set?
£11.99 for 100ml here with free UK delivery. Across UK listings in August 2026 we found it between £12.99 and £24.99, with £24.99 as the usual list price, and Lattafa’s US site prices it at $29.99 — so this is level with the cheapest UK price we could find. We found no Moroccan Blue gift set and no matching body spray.
When should I wear it, and how many sprays?
Autumn and winter, evenings and cold days, smart-casual through formal. Two to three sprays; the oud base carries further than it seems on first application. Give a fresh bottle a few weeks resting in a dark drawer before judging it — the citrus opening in particular settles noticeably.
Note pyramid taken from Lattafa’s own US product listing and cross-checked against several independent retailers and one independent review carrying the same record; where UK listings publish a conflicting honey-and-caramel or saffron-and-cedarwood pyramid we have said so and explained which record we trust, rather than averaging them. The 2024 launch date and the oriental-woody classification come from Lattafa and the fragrance databases. Longevity and sillage reflect independent user reporting, not retailer marketing copy; no meaningful aggregate community rating data exists for this release yet. UK price range from UK retailer listings surveyed in August 2026. We found no dupe-index entry for this fragrance and have therefore claimed none. Last reviewed August 2026.
