Maison Asrar Mohra Review: Bold Leather-Oud for 2025

A sweet, spicy leather-oud statement scent with heavyweight performance at a budget price.

By Vivir ·
Maison Asrar Mohra is a unisex eau de parfum released in 2025 as part of the brand's Horse Collection. It is built around a sweet, spicy leather-oud theme, with cocoa, saffron, and cinnamon at the top; suede, leather, and praline in the heart; and patchouli, oud, and vanilla at the base. The house does not publicly name the perfumer behind the scent; Maison Asrar credits world-class master perfumers in its marketing. Mohra sits in the affordable Middle Eastern segment: 100ml of EDP retails around AED 140, or roughly $38 USD at current conversion. For that price, the spec sheet promises 12-plus hours of longevity, very strong sillage, and heavy projection. The Fragrantica community rating is 4.00 from only seven votes at the time of writing, so treat that score as a small-sample signal rather than a definitive consensus. There is a minor release-date conflict. At least one retailer page stamps Mohra with a 2020 date, but that page appears to use boilerplate text that assigns 2020 to unrelated fragrances. Fragsi lists 2025 and ties the scent to the Horse Collection, which makes 2025 the more credible year. Fragrantica does not list a year. The notes and pyramid are consistent across the official Maison Asrar product page and Fragrantica.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 30 minutes is cocoa-forward: bitter cocoa, saffron's metallic warmth, and cinnamon's dry spice, with praline beginning to peek through.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

At 1-2 hours, suede, leather, and praline take over; cinnamon remains in the background, and the powdery-animalic facets add depth.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

After 4 hours, patchouli, oud, and vanilla dominate; leather and cocoa recede but linger, and the finish is darker, woodier, and closer to the skin.
