Lattafa Hayaam 100ml EDP – A Salty Marine, Iris & Woods Fragrance
Lattafa Hayaam is a salty aquatic Eau de Parfum that captures sea air over clean woods — properly saline rather than the generic “fresh aquatic” most brands mean by the term. It belongs to Lattafa’s Niche Emarati line, and this is the full-size 100ml bottle at £31.99 — 100% authentic and dispatched within 24 hours. If you have been searching for Lattafa Hayaam or Niche Emarati Hayaam in the UK, this is one of the best salty marine fragrances at the price.
Lattafa Hayaam Notes
Top notes — Marine, Salt, Lemon, Davana. A fresh, salty-citrus opening — a marine accord and sea salt lifted by lemon, with fruity davana adding an unexpected apricot-like sweetness.
Heart notes — Lily of the Valley, Iris. A clean floral heart — dewy lily of the valley and powdery iris, which is what smooths Hayaam out and separates it from harsher marine scents.
Base notes — Oakmoss, Ambergris, Sandalwood. The drydown is warm and woody — earthy oakmoss and ambergris over creamy sandalwood.
This pyramid is confirmed identically by Lattafa’s own listing, Parfumo and Notino.
Lattafa Hayaam Review — What It Smells Like
The short version: a convincing, atmospheric salty-marine with unusually good performance for the category. Not original, but very good.
The scent. Hayaam smells like standing on a cliff in warm weather — salt air, sun-warmed skin, a squeeze of lemon. The davana is the clever part: it gives the opening a slightly fruity, almost apricot warmth that stops the salt from reading purely mineral. The iris and lily of the valley in the heart add a soft, powdery smoothness, and the oakmoss-ambergris-sandalwood base gives it an earthy, grounded finish that most aquatics lack entirely.
The catch. The opening can come across as sharp and alcoholic — one reviewer called the first spray “maritime-salty-alcoholic”. Give it ten minutes, or better, give the bottle a few weeks in a dark drawer first; our maceration guide explains why this happens with Lattafa. The other honest caveat is originality: Hayaam is very close to Lattafa’s own Atlas, just darker, softer and saltier. If you already own Atlas, you do not need both.
Performance. This is where Hayaam earns its keep. Reviewers rate longevity around 8 out of 10 with above-average projection — genuinely strong for a salty marine, a category that usually disappears within a few hours.
Who should skip it. Anyone who wants warm, sweet or gourmand. Hayaam is cool, saline and mineral, and it does not compromise on that.
How It Compares — Atlas, and the Megamare Question
Hayaam sits in the same salty-marine territory as Orto Parisi Megamare, the niche fragrance that started the current wave of salty aquatics — but we are not going to tell you it is a Megamare clone, because the evidence does not support it.
The Lattafa release with the well-documented Megamare comparison is Lattafa Atlas, and even there reviewers who own both put the similarity at around 60%. Hayaam’s link is indirect: it shares Atlas’s pyramid almost exactly, plus lily of the valley, and reviewers who have worn both describe Hayaam as the darker, softer, saltier of the two.
So: if the salty-marine style is what you are after, both work. Atlas is the closer reference to Megamare; Hayaam is the smoother, more rounded, slightly more grown-up interpretation.
Price & Size — Lattafa Hayaam Price in the UK
Hayaam is £31.99 for a 100ml Eau de Parfum, with free UK delivery — roughly 32p per ml.
For context, UK stockists we checked in July 2026 were asking £26.99 at Imperian, £31.30 at Notino and £35.99 at Perfume Heaven. We have priced this to sit level with Notino, the most established retailer stocking it. Be sceptical of any listing anchoring Hayaam against an “£80 RRP” — no such list price exists.
What Is the Niche Emarati Line?
Niche Emarati is a genuine Lattafa sub-line with more than twenty releases, including Khalid, Antique, Al Dana, Lujain and Dream of Haze. Some retailers merchandise “Niche Emarati” as a standalone brand, which is why you will sometimes see Hayaam listed without the Lattafa name attached — it is the same product.
Worth knowing: Hayaam sits at the more affordable end of the Niche Emarati range, not the premium end. You can explore the line at Royal Scents through Al Dana, Antique and Dream of Haze.
When To Wear It
Spring and summer, daytime, warm weather — this is a hot-weather fragrance and it performs best when there is heat to lift the salt accord. It is office-safe and holiday-appropriate in equal measure. Two to three sprays.
Who It’s For & Styling
Officially unisex — Fragrantica, Notino and Lattafa’s US listing all classify it that way, though Lattafa’s own regional site and Parfumo file it as masculine. In practice it wears clean and slightly masculine but is entirely shareable, and the iris in the heart keeps it from being one-note. If you like salty, mineral, sun-on-skin fragrances, gender is not the deciding factor here.
Lattafa Hayaam in the Range
If Hayaam’s salty freshness appeals, the natural next steps at Royal Scents are Atlas for the closest Megamare reference, Asad Zanzibar for salty coconut and incense, or the wider Lattafa fresh & aquatic collection.

Lattafa Hayaam FAQs
What does Lattafa Hayaam smell like?
Salt air and sea spray with lemon and a fruity davana warmth, softening into powdery iris and lily of the valley, and finishing on earthy oakmoss, ambergris and sandalwood. Cool, mineral and atmospheric rather than sweet.
Is Lattafa Hayaam a Megamare dupe?
Not directly. It sits in the same salty-marine territory as Orto Parisi Megamare, but the Lattafa release with the documented Megamare comparison is Atlas — and even that is around 60% similar by reviewers’ accounts. Hayaam is closest to Atlas itself: darker, softer and saltier.
How long does Lattafa Hayaam last?
Reviewers rate longevity around 8 out of 10 with above-average projection — strong for a salty marine, where most fragrances fade quickly. Expect a solid working day from a few sprays.
How much is Lattafa Hayaam in the UK?
£31.99 for 100ml at Royal Scents with free UK delivery. UK stockists were asking £26.99–£35.99 when we last checked, with Notino at £31.30.
What are the notes in Lattafa Hayaam?
Top: marine, salt, lemon, davana. Heart: lily of the valley, iris. Base: oakmoss, ambergris, sandalwood.
Is Hayaam the same as Niche Emarati Hayaam?
Yes. Niche Emarati is a Lattafa sub-line, and some retailers list it as a brand in its own right. “Lattafa Hayaam”, “Niche Emarati Hayaam” and “Lattafa Niche Emarati Hayaam” all refer to the same 100ml Eau de Parfum.
Is it for men or women?
It is classified unisex by Fragrantica and Notino, though it leans slightly masculine in wear. The iris and lily of the valley keep it soft enough to share comfortably.
When should I wear it?
Spring and summer daytime, and warm weather generally — the salt accord blooms in heat. It is office-safe and works well on holiday.
