Lattafa Khamrah Decant
Dates, cinnamon and vanilla. The best forty-dollar fragrance in existence.
The fragrance
What Lattafa Khamrah actually smells like
Khamrah is the fragrance that convinced a lot of people to take Middle Eastern houses seriously. It is built on a date-and-cinnamon accord with praline and vanilla underneath, and it smells like spiced Christmas baking in the best possible way — rich, boozy and warm without being sickly.
Performance is remarkable at any price and frankly implausible at this one: ten hours plus with strong projection for the first several. It is a firm winter fragrance and a legitimate rival to niche releases costing five times as much.
We stock it partly because it is excellent and partly because it makes a point. Buying 2 ml of Khamrah alongside 2 ml of Tobacco Vanille or Naxos is one of the most instructive comparisons in our catalogue.

Questions about this fragrance
Lattafa Khamrah FAQ
In the sweet spicy gourmand category it competes seriously with fragrances at five times the price, particularly on performance. The materials are less refined on close inspection, but in normal wear the gap is much smaller than the price difference suggests.
Yes. Lattafa is a large, well-established Emirati house, not a counterfeiter. Their fragrances are original compositions, though many are openly inspired by Western niche releases.
Qahwa adds a coffee note and is slightly less sweet. The original is the date-and-cinnamon version most people mean.
