Are the perfumes original?
The question everyone asks first, answered plainly.
When your order arrives
How to check a bottle when it arrives
Scent n Blush sells factory-sealed Arabian perfumes from Lattafa, Ahmed Al Maghribi, Rasasi and Riiffs. When your order arrives, check the cellophane and the batch code on the box, then match it to the code on the base of the bottle as soon as you open the box. A match is the first sign that the bottle and its packaging belong together, not proof on its own. If you are unsure, send us clear photos of the bottle, box and codes on WhatsApp before you spray it.
- Look at the box before you open it: the cellophane should be tight, clear and machine-sealed, with no tape, glue or tears.
- Find the batch code stamped on the outer box, usually near the barcode on the bottom flap or a side panel. You can read it through the cellophane.
- On a Lattafa box that carries a holographic security label, scan its QR code with your phone: the page must open on verify.lattafa.com.
- Open the box and find the batch code printed or etched on the base of the bottle.
- Confirm that the two codes match exactly before you spray.
- If the codes do not match or the packaging looks damaged, stop, photograph the bottle and box, and message Scent n Blush on WhatsApp.
Are your Lattafa and Ahmed Al Maghribi perfumes 100% original?
Yes. Every bottle we sell arrives factory-sealed from an authorised distributor. The batch code printed or etched on the base of the bottle matches the one stamped on the box. Lattafa codes can also be looked up on a public batch checker such as CheckFresh, which shows roughly when the bottle was made; a date is reassuring, not proof. We do not sell testers, decants that were refilled, or "first copy" bottles.
How do I check the batch code on my bottle?
The code is stamped on the outer box, usually near the barcode on the bottom flap or a side panel, and you can read it through the cellophane. The same code, usually letters and numbers, is printed or etched on the base of the bottle, which you can see once the box is open: the two should match exactly before you spray. On a Lattafa box that carries a holographic security label, scan its QR code; the page must open on verify.lattafa.com. CheckFresh can turn a Lattafa code into a rough production date, and other houses may show "not supported", which is not a fail. A match is a good sign, not proof on its own. Our guide on checking Lattafa batch codes walks through it with photos.
Should the batch code on the bottle match the box?
Yes, always. The code printed or etched on the base of the bottle should be identical to the code stamped on the outer box. Matching codes connect the bottle to its own retail packaging, so a mismatch, or no code on the glass at all, is a reason to stop before you spray and ask for help. The batch check is one part of an authenticity review, alongside an intact factory seal, correct branding, sharp print and the overall condition of the box and bottle.
What should I do if my bottle and box batch codes do not match?
Do not spray it. Photograph the code on the box and the code on the bottle, then send both photos to us on WhatsApp. If a batch code ever fails to check out, we take the bottle back and refund you in full, including what you paid for delivery. The same applies if the cellophane is torn or the box arrives damaged.
What happens if a batch code does not check out?
If a batch code ever fails to check out, we take the bottle back and refund you in full, including what you paid for delivery.
What does factory-sealed perfume mean?
Factory-sealed means the retail box is still in the cellophane the factory applied, and nobody in between, including us, has opened, re-wrapped or replaced it. Original wrap is tight with one straight seam, the box flaps are crisp and the bottle sits firmly in its tray. When your order arrives, check the wrap, the flaps and the matching batch codes before you open the perfume.
Does Scent n Blush sell testers or refilled bottles?
No. We list only original, factory-sealed retail bottles: no testers or "unboxed" bottles, no decants or refills, and no "first copy" or "master copy" fragrances of any kind. If you ever have a concern about a bottle from us, keep it sealed and message us on WhatsApp with photos of the bottle, box and batch code.
Where do you source your stock?
From authorised distributors of Lattafa Perfume Industries and Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes in the UAE. Stock travels to Karachi sealed in factory cartons and stays sealed until it reaches you.
Why are Lattafa perfumes so cheap compared with designer brands?
Lattafa is a Dubai house that sells directly through distributors instead of department stores, skips celebrity advertising, and uses its own factory. The money goes into the juice and the bottle rather than into marketing. That is why a 100ml Lattafa can cost less than a 30ml designer bottle while lasting longer on skin.
Delivery and payment
What it costs, how long it takes, and how you pay.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is Rs. 350 in Karachi and Rs. 500 across Pakistan, becoming completely free when your order has 3 or more items.
How long does delivery take?
Karachi orders usually arrive in 1 to 2 days. Lahore, Islamabad and other cities take 2 to 4 working days with tracked courier. Orders confirmed before the afternoon are packed and handed to the courier the same day. Later orders go out the next morning.
Do you deliver outside Karachi?
Yes, to every city in Pakistan by tracked, insured courier. Delivery is a flat Rs. 500 nationwide (Rs. 350 in Karachi), and completely free when your order contains 3 or more items.
Can I pay cash on delivery?
Online payment via Easypaisa (03711005833 - Huzaifa Mukhtar) or bank transfer is preferred for fast priority dispatch across Pakistan. Cash on delivery is also available for Karachi addresses. For Karachi cash on delivery we confirm the total on WhatsApp first so the courier knows exactly what to collect.
How is the parcel packed?
The presentation box goes into a snug carton with cushioning on every side so the bottle cannot move. Glass never touches cardboard directly. Every parcel is insured while it is with the courier.
Do you deliver original perfumes to Lahore?
Yes. Sealed Lattafa and Ahmed Al Maghribi bottles reach Lahore in 2 to 3 working days by tracked, insured courier. Delivery is Rs. 500 (free on 3+ items). Lahore orders are paid online before dispatch via Easypaisa or bank transfer for priority same-day dispatch.
Do you deliver to Islamabad and Rawalpindi?
Yes. Islamabad and Rawalpindi orders arrive in 2 to 3 working days by tracked courier, sealed with the batch code intact. Delivery is Rs. 500 (free on 3+ items). Payment is online before dispatch via Easypaisa or bank transfer for priority shipping.
Which cities in Pakistan do you ship to?
Every city served by courier: Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Hyderabad, Peshawar, Quetta, Sialkot, Gujranwala and smaller towns. Karachi takes 1 to 2 days, most other cities 2 to 4 working days.
Can I track my order?
Yes. Once the courier scans your parcel we send the tracking number to your WhatsApp so you can follow it to your door.
Ordering
How the bag, the WhatsApp checkout and changes to an order work.
How does ordering work on this site?
Add what you like to the bag, then press Place order. Your order summary, delivery address and total open in a WhatsApp chat with us, already typed out. Press send and one of us confirms availability, delivery charge and payment within a short while. There is no account to create and no card form to fill in.
Can I order directly on WhatsApp without using the bag?
Of course. Every product page has an Order on WhatsApp button that sends us the fragrance name and quantity. You can also just message us the name of the bottle you want.
Can I change or cancel an order?
Yes, any time before the parcel is handed to the courier. Message us on WhatsApp and we will adjust it. Once a parcel is in transit we can only help with returns.
Do you offer gift wrapping or a note?
Yes. Mention it in the Note field at checkout or on WhatsApp. Every Lattafa and Ahmed Al Maghribi bottle already comes in a heavy presentation box, so most gifts need nothing more than a ribbon and your message.
Do you sell decants or samples?
Not at the moment. We only sell full, sealed retail bottles so that every batch code can be verified. If you are unsure about a fragrance, message us and we will describe it honestly and suggest alternatives.
Choosing a fragrance
Helpful things to know before you buy perfume online.
I cannot smell it before buying. How do I choose?
Start with a note you already love. Coffee, vanilla, rose, oud, citrus. Our shop by note tool and the scent finder quiz narrow the catalog to a handful of bottles, and every product page lists the notes, how long it lasts and which season suits it. If you are still torn, message us on WhatsApp and we will give you honest picks.
Which Lattafa perfume is best for Karachi heat?
Fresh, citrus and aquatic fragrances behave best in humidity. Kaaf and Chill Spectrum by Ahmed Al Maghribi, Blue by Ahmed, Yara Tous and Art of Nature II are the ones we reach for from April to September. Heavy gourmands like Khamrah are better saved for evenings and winter.
What is the difference between Lattafa and Lattafa Pride?
Lattafa Pride is the premium line from the same house. Pride bottles use denser, more expensive oil blends, heavier glass and more complex compositions that lean closer to niche perfumery. Regular Lattafa is the accessible line where classics like Khamrah, Asad and Yara live.
How long will a 100ml bottle last me?
A 100ml bottle holds roughly 1,000 sprays. At three sprays a day that is close to a year of daily wear. Most people rotate two or three bottles, so each one lasts even longer.
Do these perfumes last long on skin?
Arabian houses build for longevity. Most fragrances in our catalog stay on skin for 8 to 12 hours, and the heavier ones like Khamrah, Marj and Bin Shaikh go past 14. Each product page shows the longevity we measured.

What are the best Lattafa perfumes for men?

To identify genuine Arabian perfumes and avoid counterfeit batches in Pakistan: match the batch code printed or etched on the bottle base with the code on the box (Lattafa codes can also be dated on CheckFresh, which shows a production date rather than proof); inspect presentation quality: heavy glass, snug caps, tight factory cellophane and, on Lattafa boxes that carry one, a security label whose QR code opens verify.lattafa.com; feel the juice on skin, as genuine Middle Eastern EDPs leave a light oil sheen rather than evaporating instantly into a sharp alcohol smell; and purchase from specialized retailers like Scent n Blush who provide batch verification photos on WhatsApp before dispatch.

Fragrance care
Getting the most from every bottle.
How should I store perfume in a hot climate?
Heat and sunlight are what break a fragrance down. Keep the bottle in its box inside a wardrobe or drawer, away from the bathroom and the window. Room temperature is fine. Do not refrigerate it, the repeated temperature changes do more harm than good.
Does perfume expire?
Stored properly, a sealed bottle stays perfect for years, and an opened bottle keeps for three to five years. Signs of age are a darker colour, a sour opening or weaker projection. The production date from the batch code tells you how fresh your bottle is.
Where should I spray for the best performance?
Warm skin projects fragrance. Spray on the neck, chest and inside the wrists after a shower while skin is still slightly damp. Do not rub your wrists together. For heavy fragrances one or two sprays is plenty, for fresh ones three or four.
