The similarity to Ganymede is incredible, keeping proportions in quality and performance. It is like a more usable, versatile, and wearable version of the Ganymede itself. A great discovery; it has become my favourite Arabic fragrance.
It is not a clone of Ganymede. It resembles B683 more.
Whatever the intention of cloning or following the Barrois line, what it evokes for me is something linear, fruity at the start (the mango fades quickly), fresh, and present in the middle and dry-down, enveloping but slightly heavy. It smells to me like an old creamy lotion, nothing like a barbershop scent, with a metallic and ozonic sensation. It is just as fresh as Armaf’s Odyssey Mandarin Sky (they share about 80% of the aroma) but without the citrus note; to me, the Armaf seems more bearable, cheerful, and a safe bet. Masa does not displease me, but it is not mainstream nor for everyone’s taste; I see it as suitable for those over 30, less youthful. Perhaps it is the violet leaf note or that soft synthetic oud I perceive (typical in Arab scents). It is unisex, but I think it shines more on a woman, 60-70% feminine. I was surprised by its originality and lack of mass production; it is rare, strange, and I love it, although buying it blind does not seem the safest option.
I use it in warm weather at 30 degrees. With 10 sprays, once settled on the skin, it is a delight. After two hours, it leaves a personal bubble with a metallic note similar to the opening of Maahir Legacy (silver bottle), but nothing stinging, more pleasant. It is not a bomb that fills the room; it is linear but with many nuances that make it enjoyable. It should be tested in cold weather and by the coast. Its bottle is luxury; I keep it as a decoration on my desk.
Although I do not share the view that it clones the other two Barrois fragrances, I will comment on what it evokes: it is linear, fruity at the start (the mango fades quickly), fresh initially, with presence in the heart and dry down, enveloping and somewhat heavy. At the same time, it is strange, like a creamy lotion from the past that conveys a metallic and ozonic sensation. It is just as fresh as ‘Odyssey Mandarin Sky Armaf’ (80% similar) but without the orange. The Armaf one seems more bearable and safe. ‘Masa’ does not displease me, but it is not mainstream; I believe it is for those over 30, less youthful. Perhaps the violet leaf note or that subtle synthetic oud marks it. It is unisex, but in a woman, I think it shines more (60-70% feminine). I was surprised by its original composition; nothing mass-produced. It is rare, strange, and I love it; perhaps the blind buy is not safe here.
I bought it blind and have no regrets; it smells like ‘Paris for Men’ but more formal and mature. It is less fresh because the mineral and suede notes give it a serious air. It is a medium-sweet tropical fragrance, ideal for those of us living near the beach and having formal events in such settings; moreover, it has no heavy sillage or nuisance.
It is 85-90% similar to Paris Corner Celestial and shares similarities with Madison Alhambra Spectre Malachite due to the fruity note. The same applies to those three as it does here. It is a fruity, mineral, or metallic perfume, well-crafted: a casual aroma that is liked, different, and curious. It does not attract attention by being potent, but by its unusual yet good scent. It would enter the top 10 of Lattafa.
It was a blind buy and I have no regrets. The scent reminds me of ‘Paris for Men’ but in a formal or mature version. It feels less fresh due to those mineral and suede notes which give it a serious air. It is a tropical, medium-sweet fragrance. For those of us living near the beach and having formal events in those settings, it is perfect as it has no heavy or annoying sillage.
The bottle alone is a luxury, and it smells different. It is not easy to hold, but it is rich and does not seem cheap. It lasts well; if you have many perfumes and are looking for something distinct, give it a try. It is a good product.
The bottle alone is worth owning; it is a distinct scent. It is not easy to assimilate, but it is rich and does not feel low quality. It performs well. If you have many perfumes and want something different, go for it. It is a good product.
Fruity, floral, metallic, and suede. If you know Wajood by Lattafa, this is its fruitier, unisex version, whereas the other is more marine, serious, and less sweet. Good performance for moderate climates, day and night. One of the brand’s best current releases. I recommend trying it first: it steers clear of the mainstream and is not a soft office scent. It has power and personality. The value for money is good. It has little relation to God of Fire or Alhambra Sceptre Malachite, beyond the initial mango which is later covered by patchouli and suede.
If there is such a thing as an original, this is it. It offers a mineral and metallic experience with a touch of mango fruit, closing on a gorgeous suede note that you simply have to experience. It isn’t for everyone or for blind buys; its complexity may not suit all palates. While it pays homage to Barrois’ Ganymede, it stands out as a unique piece in its class. A pleasant surprise that I invite you to try. Those seeking something different and fascinating will find a collector’s jewel here.
I understand that Masa is reviewed as a dupe of Ganymede/Bois Imperial, but to my nose, the resemblance is just a slight familiarity. I don’t think it serves to replace them at all, and I’m not saying this negatively, quite the opposite. It’s original, with personality, and very pleasant. Like many Arabic scents, it has an irritating opening, very saffroned, metallic, and with a burnt sensation, which lasts a few minutes, some leather is perceived, and then it settles into a super pleasant fruity sweetness, with a metallic and woody trail that distantly recalls Bois Imperial, but with sweetness as the protagonist, nothing exaggerated. It’s an excellent signature fragrance, with versatility few have, and it passes well below the mainstream radar.
It smells quite aldehydic, something aquatic. I couldn’t stop smelling it; it’s very masculine. It’s pleasant, citrusy, fine, elegant, fresh. It’s not sexy, but it is neat and calm. As a woman, I like to smell it on a man. It reminds me of L’ Eau D’ Issey. Good trail and fixation. I don’t see it for women, I gave it to my brother.
I know many see Masa as a clone of Ganymede or Bois Imperial, but to my nose, it sounds more like a distant relative. It is not a substitute, and that is good, because it is a fragrance with plenty of personality and its own taste. Like many Arab scents, the opening is intense: saffron, metal, and a burnt touch that lasts a few minutes, before leather emerges and settles into a delicious fruity sweetness with a woody, metallic base that vaguely recalls Bois Imperial, but with that sweetness taking the lead without being overdone. It is an excellent signature scent, versatile, and one that completely flies under the mainstream radar.
Masa: in the bottle, they have done an elaborate job, but it’s not to my total liking because the cap doesn’t close well and the box doesn’t feel as high quality as other Pride line items. What matters is the juice: good clarity of construction. Strong opening with sweet, juicy mango, totally ripe, with a fine suede that recalls Ganymede and B683. When the mango settles, an intense, strong, almost spicy pink pepper emerges. Then, the violet leaves and osmanthus give a feast to the nose, soft wood touches that blend well with the suede and the metallic-mineral hints. It recalls Ganymede, but it’s not a blatant dupe nor do they replace each other. MAB has elegant perfume with wonderful longevity; Masa works well for casual occasions, the mango gives a punch of freshness and vigour, playful, which reduces the seriousness to make it more bearable for daily wear. Despite the fruity aroma, I think there are people who won’t like it, so I suggest testing before. It works well from age 25 in casual occasions; if you’re looking for something more youthful, it’s not for you.
It’s very complex, not a blind buy. The metallic and spiced notes in the opening disgust me and give me a sensation of sweaty armpit; I was about to discard it. But after 15 minutes it evolves and starts to be liked. It’s quite strange but not bad, and its longevity is very good.
Buy blind, nice presentation, good atomiser. When using it first, you detect the mango, but in 2-3 minutes it disappears and gives way to pure suede. If there is one word, it’s this: it smells of pure, clean suede with a mineral touch. If you want to smell like a clean, masculine suede jacket, bag, or wallet, I can’t remember another that reproduces that accord almost perfectly, only I’m missing the jeans, my check shirt, and my cowboy hat, oh, and the horse. Recommended, although not mainstream.
The blend of cashmere and suede is very persistent. At first, I didn’t like how it smelled on me, but in the air, it’s something else. I did a test: one spray on a shirt on the chair, it’s the third day and I still notice it every time I enter. It evokes elegance and seriousness. The mango rounds off the start but disappears, imperceptible in the air; everyone will wonder what it smells like, perhaps that particular scent. My conclusion: it doesn’t captivate, but it conveys seriousness and masculinity.
A jewel… I start fine, yes 😄. Seriously: I love suedes and if you add mango, one of my favourite fruits, it seems made for me. From the first spray, it exploded my head. It’s well-made, balanced, and with quality that surprises. The contrast between the juicy fruit and the soft leather is spectacular, elegant, and nothing vulgar. The presentation is luxurious, cared for in detail. Performance: ✔️ Longevity: more than 9 hours on my skin. ✔️ Projection: very good for about two hours, then closer but still present. It outperforms many designer scents. Should I recommend it? A big YES. Note: test first. You must like leather + mango. If you can’t handle those notes, it’s not for you. But if it suits you… what a perfume, gentlemen.
What a brilliant fragrance! It follows the vibe of Ganymede and B683 by Marc-Antoine Barrois, but Masa adds its personal touch with the mango, making it less formal and more versatile. Watch out: the opening can be slightly irritating due to the saffron, the sweetness of the mango, and the metallic notes. Let it dry for 5 minutes… ✔️ Longevity: on the tested decant, it lasts about 5-6 hours. ✔️ Projection: very good for the first hour. ✔️ Seasons: perfect for spring and autumn (not too cold). ✔️ Occasion: semi-formal. Top quality/price. A great creation by Lattafa!
Definitely the most complex in my collection. At first, it smells of mango, but as a fruity accord that creates dissonance with the rest; in the air, it becomes pleasant. After an hour, the mango yields to the suede and metallic chords. It smells like a clean, serious, very urban man, like someone starting to succeed in the city. It’s not a blue scent, but it’s versatile for casual-formal situations. Decent longevity, around 6-7 hours. Complicated, not everyone will like it, but hard to try, so blind buying at the price (20k CLP) is worth it, although I recommend letting it macerate for a while so it balances. I haven’t tried Ganymede or B683, but I bought it to get closer to those DNA’s at a low price; if they resemble them, it’s a safe purchase, very different from mainstream scents.
You can’t imagine a fleshy magician; it’s nothing like that. It’s a super green, unripe mango. Only at the opening, with a hint of lemon and ginger, does the suede emerge: soft leather but very present. The mineral notes are there, yet supporting that fruity fruitiness.
