Lavender and sage over cedar, tonka and patchouli
Musamam Black Intense is an Eau de Parfum from Lattafa with lavender, sage, nutmeg and bergamot on top, rosyfolia, geranium, cedarwood and mahonial in the heart, and cocoapulse, tonka bean, maple, ambrofix and patchouli in the base. Several of those names are ingredient trade names, so the list tells you less than your own nose will.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening is aromatic: lavender and sage give an herbal, slightly dry feel, nutmeg adds a trace of warm spice and bergamot keeps it bright. If you like a herbal, clean freshness, this first stretch will feel familiar. If not, it is useful to know that early.
The heart blends geranium and cedarwood with two named ingredients, rosyfolia and mahonial. Geranium is leafy and floral, cedarwood dry and woody. How the named ingredients come across is something only a trial shows, which makes this the stage worth paying attention to when you wear the sample.
The base brings tonka bean, maple and patchouli together with cocoapulse and ambrofix. Tonka and maple point towards a soft sweetness and patchouli towards earth, while cocoapulse and ambrofix are effects only a trial can show. Wear it to the end of the day and see which side leads.
Testing it
Put the decant on clean skin on a cool day or evening, as FragranceGems tags it for autumn and winter, and also try it at work. Smell it after the first minutes, once the lavender settles, and again later when the base arrives. A second day on a different skin condition, say after a shower, adds a second view.
For people who like aromatic, lavender-led perfumes with a sweet woody bottom and who enjoy strong scents that do not need a lot of explanation. It is tagged strong at FragranceGems, so if you usually prefer something quiet, a sample is the sensible way to see if it overwhelms you.
A strong perfume with lavender, tonka and patchouli can feel cosy on one person and heavy on another, and the technical note names make it hard to guess. A 10 ml decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you test it before choosing a bottle, which FragranceGems also sells.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
Each Musamam Black Intense sample holds 10 ml in a glass spray vial, decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by our team. To be clear, it is not an official brand sample, and Lattafa is neither involved nor consulted.
Rosyfolia, mahonial, cocoapulse and ambrofix are named in the recorded list as they are. We do not describe them further, so the surest check is to smell how they behave together on your skin.
Tonka bean and maple add sweetness in the base, while lavender, sage and cedarwood keep it dry and herbal. FragranceGems tags it as fresh, gourmand and woody, so the sample shows which side you pick up.
The brand
Lattafa is a third-generation, family-run perfume house from the United Arab Emirates that reaches, in its own words, fragrance enthusiasts in over 120 countries. With more than 2,000 products, in-house manufacturing and its own research, it works at an industrial scale. Three Lattafa Eau de Parfum are here as samples, Musamam Black Intense, Mishlah and Khamrah Waha, and they differ enough that a sample of each is the sensible way to pick.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
