Lattafa Mohra Silky Rose: Pink Rose, Litchi and Skin-Soft Musk
Mohra Silky Rose is the rose you wear when you do not want to smell of roses in the old-fashioned sense. There is no dusty powder, no dark oud, no jam. Instead, a fresh pink rose arrives with sweet, watery litchi and a light dusting of pink pepper, then softens into clean musk and lily-of-the-valley before finishing on musk, vanilla and a small amount of patchouli for grip. The name gives the texture away: smooth, close and comfortable rather than showy. It sits in our Lattafa perfumes collection as one of the easiest feminine bottles in the range to wear every day, and at under £15 it is also one of the cheapest ways to find out whether a modern rose suits you.
The Scent Profile
Top — rose, litchi, pink pepper. Rose and litchi are a classic pairing because they share a certain dewy, faintly fruity brightness, and here the litchi does most of the talking in the first minutes. It reads juicy and slightly sweet rather than sugary. Pink pepper adds a dry sparkle that keeps the opening lively and stops the fruit turning into cordial.
Heart — rose, musk, lily-of-the-valley. The fruit recedes and the rose becomes softer and rounder. Lily-of-the-valley brings a clean, green-white freshness, and musk starts blurring the edges, which is where the “silky” quality comes from. This is the longest phase of the fragrance and the one most people will recognise it by.
Base — musk, vanilla, patchouli. A gentle finish rather than a deep one. Musk carries on from the heart, vanilla adds a creamy warmth, and patchouli sits quietly underneath so that the dry-down has some structure instead of dissolving into body lotion. The rose stays present, just nearer the skin.
How It Compares — the Honest Version
Lattafa does not name an inspiration for Mohra Silky Rose, and we could not find a single comparison that the community agrees on. On its Fragrantica page, reviewers reach for a spread of fruity-rose references, including Givenchy Very Irresistible, Parfums de Marly Delina and Dior’s Miss Dior Rose N’Roses, and several go out of their way to say it is not a match for Penhaligon’s The Favourite. When the comparisons scatter like that, the honest reading is that Mohra sits in a popular style, the clean fruity-musky pink rose, rather than tracing any one bottle.
So we are not selling it as a dupe of anything. If you like that modern rose style you will recognise the shape of it immediately; if you are hunting for a close copy of a particular designer rose, this is not what it was built to be.

Performance & When To Wear
Performance is where Fragrantica reviewers disagree most, so here is the range rather than a single number. Some report around six hours with the scent present for most of the day; others find it stays close to the skin and fades in three to four hours, needing a top-up by the afternoon. Sillage reports lean light to moderate, with a minority finding it much stronger. That split is typical of soft musky roses, where musk perception varies a great deal from person to person. A spray on clothing will generally hold it longer than skin.
In practice this is a daytime fragrance. It is comfortable in an office, easy in warm weather, and reviewers describe it as wearable all year, with spring and summer the obvious fit. It is not the bottle for a big evening entrance.
Who It’s For
Mohra Silky Rose suits anyone who likes rose in theory but finds most rose perfumes too sharp, too powdery or too serious. It is also a sensible choice if you wear clean musks and fruity florals and want something a little more grown-up in the same register. Lattafa positions it for women, and the composition reads feminine. Because it is inexpensive and soft, it is a low-risk blind buy and an easy gift.
Skip it if you want projection people notice across a room, or if you prefer your roses dark, resinous or paired with oud.
How It Compares With the Other Houses We Stock
The closest neighbour on our shelves is Arabiyat Prestige Safa (£39.99). Both are built on lychee, rose and vanilla, but Safa goes further into gourmand territory with hazelnut, magnolia, earthy cypriol and ambergris, so it is sweeter, richer and more of an evening scent. Mohra is the lighter, cleaner, more musky of the two, and the one we would pick for daytime.
If it is the soft musk you are really after and you would rather skip the fruit, Khadlaj Pure Musk (£14.99) takes the same quiet, skin-close idea in a powdery direction, with lilac, iris and white musk over amber. The two are similar in price and would layer comfortably together.
Rose Lovers: Where to Go After Mohra Silky Rose
For another rose-and-musk pairing, Ajwad Pink to Pink 60ml (£16.99) swaps litchi for guava, giving a juicier, more tropical rose. Asdaaf Ameerat Al Arab Prive Rose (£13.99) sets rose beside strawberry over sandalwood, so it dries down warmer and woodier. If the litchi is the hook, Bade’e Al Oud Sublime (£19.99) leads with apple and lychee over moss, dropping the rose for a greener fruit profile. Explore the rest of our Lattafa perfumes.
Price, Size & What You Get
At £13.99 for a full 100ml Eau de Parfum, Mohra Silky Rose works out at 14p per millilitre, among the lowest cost-per-wear figures in our Lattafa range. Because it is soft and easy to reapply, that low price matters more than usual: a second spray at lunchtime costs next to nothing.

Lattafa Mohra Silky Rose FAQs
What does Lattafa Mohra Silky Rose smell like?
A fresh pink rose with juicy litchi and a light pink-pepper sparkle, softening into clean musk and lily-of-the-valley, then settling on musk, vanilla and a little patchouli. Fruity for the first half hour, then soft, creamy and close to the skin. No oud, no smoke, no heavy spice.
What are the full Mohra Silky Rose notes?
Top: rose, litchi, pink pepper. Heart: rose, musk, lily-of-the-valley. Base: musk, vanilla, patchouli. This is the pyramid on Fragrantica, and Lattafa’s own description names the same top and heart notes.
Is Mohra Silky Rose a dupe of a designer perfume?
Not in any meaningful sense. Lattafa names no inspiration, and Fragrantica reviewers compare it to several different fruity roses, including Givenchy Very Irresistible and Parfums de Marly Delina, without agreeing on one. Several say it is not a match for Penhaligon’s The Favourite. Treat it as an original rose in a popular style. Lattafa has no affiliation with any of those houses.
How long does Mohra Silky Rose last?
Reports vary. Fragrantica reviewers range from three to four hours close to the skin up to around six hours, and projection is mostly light to moderate. It is a soft musky rose, so expect a personal scent rather than a trail, and spray a little on clothing if you want it to last longer.
Is Mohra Silky Rose for women?
Yes. Lattafa positions it as a women’s fragrance and the rose-litchi-musk character reads feminine. Anyone who likes soft roses can wear it, but it is not one of Lattafa’s genuinely unisex compositions.
How much is Lattafa Mohra Silky Rose in the UK?
£13.99 for the 100ml Eau de Parfum at Khaleej Scents, with free UK delivery and no minimum spend.
Is Mohra Silky Rose good for the office?
It is one of the safer choices in our range for work. It is clean and soft and stays close, so it will not fill a shared room. Two or three sprays is plenty.
Notes verified against Fragrantica and Lattafa’s own product description in September 2026. Fragrantica shows no launch year or perfumer for this fragrance, so we have not given one. Performance reflects the pattern across Fragrantica reviews, not our own measurements; we have shown the range rather than the flattering end. The designer names above are reviewers’ comparisons, not the brand’s. Written by Shaheen Shah Abrar, Khaleej Scents.
