Frequently Asked Questions
What is Maïssa Paris?
Maïssa Paris (also written Maïssa or Maison Maïssa) is an independent French niche fragrance house founded in Paris in 2018 by Dahmane Ouafi. Named after his daughter Maïssa, the house creates contemporary unisex and feminine Eau de Parfum in collaboration with renowned perfumers. The brand bridges Eastern olfactory traditions with modern French perfumery, producing bold, free-spirited fragrances with a deeply personal artistic vision.
Are Maïssa Paris fragrances unisex?
The vast majority of Maïssa Paris perfumes are unisex — designed to be worn and enjoyed by anyone, regardless of gender. The house believes fragrance is a form of personal expression, and its compositions reflect that philosophy. A small number of scents lean more feminine (such as Nuit de la Tentation and Jasmin Mystérieux) or more masculine (such as Tobacco and Ottoman Leather), but all can be worn by anyone who is drawn to them.
How long do Maïssa Paris EDPs last?
As Eau de Parfum concentrations, Maïssa Paris fragrances offer excellent longevity — typically 6–10 hours on skin, with richer oriental and oud compositions often lasting longer. Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, and inner elbows — for maximum projection and longevity. The 200ml formats offer exceptional value for those who have found their signature Maïssa Paris scent.
What sizes are Maïssa Paris perfumes available in?
We stock Maïssa Paris Eau de Parfum in 50ml, 100ml, and 200ml formats across the range, as well as 250ml body sprays and room & linen sprays.

If you're unsure which size or format to choose, our team is always happy to help.
