Lattafa Khamrah Dukhan for Unisex Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce / 100 ml

As a perfume collector with over 100 fragrances, I can confidently say this is one of my best purchases. It’s incredibly affordable, yet smells amazing. The bottle has a luxurious feel, and the scent is a beautiful blend of spicy and sensual notes. It’s smooth and versatile—perfect for both day and night wear. The longevity is impressive; it easily lasts me the entire day. The fragrance combines gourmand and warm spicy accords, and I absolutely love the vanilla in the dry-down. Highly recommend it!

Let’s start by saying I’m not much for sweet perfumes. Woodsy, amber scents aren’t my thing either. But this? This is gorgeous. My regular go to’s are Bacarat, Tom Ford and Chanel but I think this just made the line up. Yes, it’s a bit on the sweet side, but it settles down into a warm , yummy scent. I keep smelling my wrist! Dang I smell good! This did not disappoint!It says unisex, but I think it’s very feminine. Like I said in a warm, yummy, sexy way. I’m soooo glad I bought it. I’m jumping into Lataffa head first! Don’t be afraid, do it, you won’t regret it! p.s. The bottle is beautiful! Very “ high end” looking. Has a good weight to it. Just beautiful!

Completely unbiased! This is a pretty good cologne. I have Hyperhydrosis, and not alot of fragrances last very long on me. This one lasted almost a full 12 hour shift in the Oklahoma summer. I used two sprays. One spray would do you plenty. Super easy to apply the nozzle feels pretty sturdy, and it I'm trying to figure out how to explain what it smells like, but it smells kinda like a leather shop to me but not quite exactly. You have a good product for the value of it. Plenty of sprays.

I haven't smelled Angel's Share except for a small decant before I bought this, but they are similar enough with the main notes and distinct enough with the others for me to choose this over the original. For some fragrances I will spend real money, but they have to be in my top ten, Absolute Must Have list, EDPs only, and too original and distinct to replicate. For any gourmand fragrance (which, let's face it, are a dime-a-dozen), it's not worth dropping $300 in my book. Note that this one needs to macerate awhile. Let some air into the bottle with 10 or so sprays then ignore it for a few months. It will smooth out over time.WHAT I LIKE ABOUT KHAMRAH: Unlike all the people saying this is a winter fragrance, Khamrah for me in hot weather blooms like a skanky, sensual afternoon on the beach boardwalk right outside the toffee shop. It smells like warm skin and golden hour and funnel cakes dunked in cinnamon sugar. There is faintly coconutty suntan lotion in there, still clinging to the sundress you've had on all day. It's all of this and a Captain Morgan cocktail at the beach bar while the sun is setting. Because of this vibe, it has an animalic quality to it all its own. I do not get anything distinctly reminiscent of apple or dates, but it is not your garden variety vanilla-tonka gourmand either.WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT KHAMRAH: The opening really is something between an apple pie Glade plug-in and a Dollar Tree Christmas candle. It can make you question your choice to buy it. Be patient. Spray this and then wait about 30 minutes before going out in public.WHAT I WEAR INSTEAD: Shaghaf Oud, I will always love it, it smells like a sticky, sensual Indian summer in a bottle to me with the waft of a saffron market stall whiffing underneath my nose. My favorite gourmand fragrance, hands down.IF IT GETS BORING ON ITS OWN: Layer it with any solar fragrance (trust me, it works), add some dark chocolate or booze, or something spicy like Kenzo's Jungle L'Elephant.CONCLUSION: People are unnecessarily dunking on an original fragrance from Lattafa just because they don't think it's a good dupe for something else, and I don't think they give it enough of a chance. It fits in my gourmand family just fine along with just a handful of others because of its distinctiveness, and with my skin chemistry it is always warm and sensual. It's not a bad angle if you want something gourmand that has its own thing going on.

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.
