Lattafa Khamrah - Vanilla, Warm Spicy, Amber, Cinnamon - Eau de Parfum Long-Lasting Fragrance for Unisex, 3.40 Ounce / 100 ml

I’ve bought all three brands at this point and love them all. Just some quick info- khamrah roughly translates to intoxicated with passion (I like to think Love Drunk), Lattafa roughly translates to Gentle/Pleasant, Qahwa to Coffee, and Dukhan to Smoke. I personally use a different one every day to prevent “smell blindness” or people getting used to one smell on me. The plain Lattafa is very gentle and subtle being the “softest” and most gender neutral of the smells. The Qahwa seems the most femine and light of the scents but still has enough masculinity that anyone can wear it. The Dukhan is very masculine and seems the more “dominant” of the scents. The cologne lasts a long time, sometimes I can still smell it in my palm after showering and I can def smell any of them the next day if I go to bed without showering. Clothes and fabrics tend to retain the smell as I’ve been told my seat belt smells very good from wearing it over my cologne to work 😂 Also I like to spray a bit in my hands and rub it together before patting my dogs jowls and I will def say their fur retains the scent as well without being irritating to them or me when we lay down at night. Both older ladies and younger ladies at work tell me how good I smell all the time, and I attribute this also to switching between the three so I smell pleasantly different every day. I def think these are all more male focused scents (which is nice because they’re soft and sweet like I prefer) but I would have no problem smelling any of these on a strong woman, but they do seem like they would be out of place on someone shy or super girly/playful opposed to a very womanly mature lady if that makes sense.

I don't typically leave reviews, but in this case felt it would be helpful to others trying to find a signature scent on Amazon without testing elsewhere first (always a risk). This review is for the "Aromatic Spicy" option (Lattafa Khamrah). I was looking for a spicy, warm scent to replace the standard crisp floral I tend to wear year-round. Changing scents is a big deal for me, as someone who suffers from chronic migraines and is very sensitive to perfumes in general. Like going to a retail store to sample perfumes is a guaranteed 3-day migraine within the first 5 minutes of scent shopping bad. I happened upon this when looking up a high-end comp (Killian Angel Share), and came across this with raving reviews as a fairly comparable alternative. Since perfumes are not returnable shipping-wise for me, it would be a huge risk to order something super pricey and scent-unseen, but at this price point and based on all the reviews, I gave it a shot. So glad I did! The packaging is not only over the top beautiful, it's also secure (my last trial purchase was a leaking mess on my porch). The glass bottle is substantial and faceted, so quite lovely on the counter, but most importantly the scent is really as good as these other reviewers claim - it goes on a little vanilla leaning and sweet initially, then after a couple of minutes it settles into a warm, rich, spicy scent with cinnamon, wood, amber, nutmeg... almost reminds me a bit of Obsession for Men but a tad more feminine. I'd say this is perfect for evening, or anytime in the fall/winter. however for this scent, a little goes a LONG ways... this is especially true if you mist onto clothing, versus just on the skin; one small spritz overhead out the door, and it's there for at least the day (where my other floral go-to scent requires layering with scented lotion base then perfume for the same effect). I'm not a fan of being the source of strong scents with the whole migraine thing, so for me personally I feel on the clothes is a bit too strong, but just on the skin results in a perfect balance of an intriguing scent without people tasting it in your wake.

I’ll be honest, I bought this mostly because I couldn’t escape the noise about it. Everywhere I looked, people were talking about Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa. As a guy who collects action figures and loves finding hidden gems, I usually stay away from the "viral" stuff because, let's be real, hype doesn't always equal quality. Everyone has a different nose, and half the time, these "must-have" colognes end up smelling generic or just weird on me. But I took the risk on this 3.4 oz bottle, and for once, I’m glad I did. The Scent & Sweetness: First off, the "Qahwa" part is the key here. It adds this roasted coffee vibe that cuts through the sugar. It is definitely sweet—don't get me wrong—but it’s a warm, spicy sweetness, not a candy-shop mess. You get hit with that cinnamon and vanilla immediately, but it feels cozy, almost like walking into a really nice bakery in the winter. It has a high-quality richness that I honestly didn't expect for the price. Wearability & Freshness: I was worried it would be too heavy or cloying, but it has a surprising wearability. It settles down nicely. It’s not "fresh" like a blue aquatic sport cologne; it’s fresh in the sense that it doesn't smell stale or old. It smells crisp, like cold air mixed with warm spices. I feel comfortable wearing this just hanging out watching movies or going out. Length & Quality: The longevity is legitimate. I sprayed this on in the morning, went about my day listening to music and running errands, and I could still smell that warm vanilla-spiced bubble around me late into the afternoon. It projects, so you don't need to bathe in it. The Khamrah Family: Original vs. Qahwa vs. Dukhan If you are confused about the different versions, here is my take as a regular guy trying to figure this out: The Original Khamrah: This one is super popular, but for me, it’s a bit too focused on the dates and sugar. It’s good, but Qahwa feels more "complete" because of the coffee note. Khamrah Dukhan: I’ve heard about this one being the "smoky" cousin. If Qahwa is a warm latte, Dukhan is supposed to be darker and ashier. Personally, I think Qahwa sits in the perfect middle ground—not too dark, not too sickly sweet. Verdict I am socially awkward and usually don't like drawing bad attention to myself with weird smells, but this makes me feel nice and put-together. It’s comforting. If you are skeptical like I was, I’d say this is one of the few times the internet got it right. It’s a supportive, warm scent that just works.

TL;dr: Buy this now! I’m a fragrance girlie and quite a collector. However, this is my first purchase of a Middle Eastern brand. It was also a blind buy for myself as a Christmas present. Shipping: It arrived very quickly, on time, and in great condition, so if you’re needing a gift for someone, this is a reliable seller. I didn’t need customer service support at all. Packaging: Wow! Just wow! The perfume bottle box is high-quality, thick material and quite large. I was incredibly impressed when I took it out of the Amazon box. It looks very high end, unlike the cheapie boxes most American and European perfumes use. Bottle: The perfume bottle is also impressive and hefty in weight. It’s beautiful, very akin to the bottle for Angel’s Shade by Killian, except boxy on bottom. The lid looks like glass, but I think it’s good quality plastic. However, I can’t be sure. It looks just like the bottle, but a little lighter weight. The bottle itself is glass. It reminds me of a glass liquor decanter. Scent: It’s a very beautiful, complex, wintry scent that immediately feels like wearing a cozy sweater while a holiday candle wafts around the room as you read a book in the glow of the Christmas tree lights, sipping cinnamon apple cider while snow falls gently outside. It’s a cozy, intimate, familiar hug in a bottle You’re definitely only going to want to wear this in the fall/winter months. If I had to give a simple description, it would be a smooth spiced vanilla dancing around a woody base. It’s fantastic right out of the bottle on arrival, but if you leave it in a cold, dark place and allow it to macerate for about a month, the vanilla becomes more prominent and the whole scent smells even better. This is especially true if you aren’t quite sure of how you feel about it on arrival. Give it a few sprays, then allow it to macerate, and try it again. You won’t be sorry! The closest other scent I can compare this to would be Killian’s Angel Share, which I love, but I find it quite cloying. I actually love this bottle of Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa so much more than Angel’s Share, and it’s significantly easier on my bank account! It is a unisex scent that leans more feminine due to the sweet vanilla’s prominence tempering the spices and woodiness. My personal body chemistry brings this out more, I think. HOWEVER, men, don’t shy away from this! It isn’t overly feminine at all, and certainly not a floral by any means. I tried it on my boyfriend, dad, and mom, too. When smelling it on my boyfriend and dad, I smell more of the soft spiciness and wood. The vanilla is just there to prevent the spices from being overwhelming, I think. My boyfriend and dad both were willing to try it, and they are more masculine-leaning men, one being in the military and the other being a grumpy boomer, lol. My boyfriend liked it a lot and sprayed more on himself to go to our family Christmas events. My dad said cologne in general is not his cup of tea, but he did enjoy the scent. When asked, neither thought it was too feminine. My mom loves perfume, and she really loved the scent of Khamrah Qawah, too. She likewise wanted to wear it to our holiday events. She said smells warm, inviting, comforting, and familiar, although she couldn’t put her finger on why. It’s not a clean scent. Projection and sillage: Whew! This is some strong, concentrated stuff! I sprayed one spray on my wrist and one on my clothes, and my parents could both easily smell it across the room. I can’t really evaluate the sillage yet, but from its ability to project, I assume the sillage is also good. The strength reminds me of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid. Other recommendations: This smells great when layered on top of EOS Vanilla Cashmere or Palmer’s Tahitian Vanilla lotion. Pairing it with Palmer’s Brazilian Coco Cream body butter is also good, although a bit too much. The Brazilian Coco Cream is a great dupe for the more expensive Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream, btw. Overall Recommendation: If you’re looking for the perfect cozy perfume/cologne to wear for the fall and winter months, buy this now! You won’t regret it!

Lattafa Khamrah is deep, sweet, and very warm. On first spray, it opens with a strong cinnamon-spiced vanilla that quickly turns into a rich ambery, almost dessert-like gourmand scent. Think cozy winter evenings, baked goods, and warm spice rather than a fresh or airy perfume. Longevity is excellent — one or two sprays last most of the day on me, and it projects strongly for the first few hours. This is not a subtle fragrance. If you overspray, it can easily become overwhelming. That’s why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5: • It’s extremely sweet and heavy, which may be too much for some people • Definitely better for fall/winter or nighttime, not warm weather • Not ideal if you prefer clean, fresh, or light florals That said, for the price, the quality and performance are impressive. If you love vanilla, spice, and bold gourmand scents, this is a great value and very unique. Tip: Start with 1 spray only — a little goes a long way.

I like it, a bit different note-wise than I expected but then, whoever writes the properties, nuances and whatnot; their take on the characteristics of the smell, I take with a grain of salt. The scent has overtones of what has been described by the manufacturer and I'm no authority. I do like the scent as I said but was expecting a bit more Amber to it. Has to me anyway, a light sweet scent initially and gradually "morphs" into a more subtle scent, not sweet. I bought two, one for myself and one for my grand-daughter who does not like sweet scents, but more masculine like leather, and Amber or Oak a d think this is a happy medium. The scent lasted for a good day and obviously dissipates, but rather slowly. The bottle itself is beautiful and the box is a work of art with the inner mirrored logo. It's slick and a keeper if you're a collector.

Khamrah has been hyped for years now, but is it really worth the attention? Here are some of my thoughts based on my experience with the Original Khamrah, Khamrah Qahwa, and the newest release, Dukhan. Hopefully, this helps you decide which one might suit you—or if you’d rather skip them altogether. Original Khamrah: Personally, I didn’t enjoy this one. To me, it smells like a wax candle you'd find in a church or something from Yankee Candle (though I can’t pinpoint the exact scent). It’s extremely sweet and very boozy. This is a definite winter fragrance and while it does smell high quality, it’s just not my style. I usually avoid overly sweet scents. However, I can see the appeal—if you enjoy strong, sweet, and boozy fragrances or like that church candle vibe, you’ll probably appreciate this. For under $30, it smells far more expensive than it is. Some people compare it to Angel’s Share by Kilian, and while I don’t think they smell exactly the same, they do share a similar DNA. Both lean toward a boozy, cinnamon-heavy profile. However, the execution is different enough that I wouldn’t call Khamrah a direct dupe. If you're familiar with Angel’s Share, you’ll recognize some of the elements, but Khamrah takes its own path. Khamrah Qahwa: This is where the magic happens. If you didn’t enjoy the Original due to its overwhelming sweetness and you like coffee notes, this is the one to try. It tones down the sweetness of the Original and introduces a smooth coffee scent that blends beautifully. That waxy candle smell is gone, replaced by something richer and more mature. It leans boozy and sophisticated—perfect for men over 30 or anyone with a more refined style. I personally enjoy Khamrah Qahwa far more than the Original in every aspect. It’s not trying to copy any niche or designer fragrance, but it stands strong on its own as a very well-blended scent. At around $25, it’s an incredible value and smells like something much more luxurious. Dukhan: The newest release comes in at about $20 more than the others, but when I first smelled it, it immediately reminded me of the Original Khamrah. It’s like a toned-down version of the Original with a subtle hint of spice. Not drastically different, but enough to notice. It still carries that candle-like vibe, just less sweet. If the Original gave you a headache, this one might be more tolerable. It’s still boozy and sweet, but slightly more balanced. I’d say it’s a more wearable option if you're curious about the Khamrah DNA but want something less intense. Final thoughts: Everyone’s nose is different, and we all have unique scent preferences. As a small fragrance collector with around 50 bottles, including both UAE and designer brands, my clear favorite is Khamrah Qahwa. It strikes the perfect balance of sweetness and warmth, with that standout coffee note that I absolutely love. I picked it up for $25, and it’s also available at Burlington for about $35. It’s ideal for cold weather, date nights, or any winter occasion where you want to smell refined without overspending. If you're just looking for a safe blind buy or something more universally appealing, Khamrah Qahwa is the way to go, especially for men over 30 or those with a mature style. If you’re curious about the Original or Dukhan, I’d recommend Dukhan since it offers a similar scent but is a little more toned down. That said, I’d wait for the price to drop below $30. If you’re into very sweet, loud, boozy, and cinnamony scents, the Original might be for you. I hope this helps you choose the right Khamrah for your collection.

I absolutely loved this fragrance! I must be completely honest, I was weary about purchasing this cologne, particularly because of the price. I expected it to smell "cheap", and not to be long lasting at all. But I was pleasantly surprised! I loved it! and it lasts all day long! I received it, sprayed it, and it instantly reminded me of Christmas. The stores that I've visited throughout my life during the holiday season. The decorations, the red, the pastels, the ornaments, the pinecones. It brought me a sense of warmth and comfort. I ordered it during the winter, and it was perfect for the season. Although I never received a compliment, it made ME feel good. It made me rest in the holiday mood. I am almost as the end of my bottle. I am definitely going to purchase another. I highly recommend it!
