   |  I think this is what you could classify as a 'hot mess'. It's just a little bit too much of everything, too much tuberose, too much vanilla, too much coconut, too bitter etc. When I first tried Mahora I felt like I was trying an 80's cast off, it's big and loud and not necessarily pleasant, that said I do quite enjoy it. The tropical flowers are overpowering but somehow attractive. It's a little hard to think when I would actually where Mahora (stupid name btw), it's one of those scents you just put a spray or two on to enjoy when no one is looking, definitely a guilty pleasure.10 November 2009 |
  |  Something round and woody, fruity and oriental under this green floral. Some people think this is death by tuberose, but I find it deep and anything but screechy. After a few minutes, this is not so much about white florals as it is about oriental base notes and fruit wood. A very fine EdP by Guerlain. Can this be worn by men? Be patient, men, and see how this dries down on your skin. If you are lucky, it might just work for you!24 January 2009 |
  |  Way too heavy and sweet a floral for me. The tuberose and neroli together are just overpowering on my skin. Really puts me in mind of a brothel somehow. It is feminine and pretty, but it is in no way subtle or delicate. This one makes me feel like I'm ten years older than I am and overscented into the bargain.12 October 2008 |
 | This fragrance is very much about tuberose! (Purplebird7's written an excellent description!) White creamy tuberose and spicy vetiver rest upon a base of vanilla & sandalwood. It is so true that just when you think the topnotes are going to be too much, they calm, then ease skillfully into an extremely desireable oriental. Mahora seems as though she may be the illegitemate offspring of a Samsara-tuberose affair! I'm glad to have found this wonderful frag! 12 January 2008 |
   | I have smelled Mayotte, not Mahora. Anyway, it's far too much of a blah-di-dah tropical white floral for my taste. 13 May 2007 |
 | Mahora is the best tuberose fragrance I have ever smelled. It does not sit on my skin like most tuberose scents, screaming with treble notes. It goes on with all the sweetness of tuberose--plus more--neroli and jasmine and ylang-ylang. These are big, very sweet florals, but well-blended. Just when I think, "It's too smuch. It won't work, it is like all the others," something amazing happens. Instantly it drops down a notch, goes wide and smooth. A deep vanilla note sounds like a brass gong, pulling the treble down to bass. A hush falls over me. A tuberose that works, and works gloriously. Discontinued, sadly, tragically. 08 March 2007 |
