Where to start with Lattafa
Lattafa's range is enormous, which is both a blessing and a challenge: there is a scent here for almost every taste, but it can be hard to know where to begin. These are the ones worth knowing first.
The gourmand hits are where most people start: Khamrah, a warm cinnamon-and-date unisex scent that went viral, with Khamrah Qahwa adding coffee and Asad Bourbon a boozier twist. For her, the sweet, easy Yara Pink and creamy Eclaire are firm favourites, alongside the rosy Fakhar Rose Gold. For him, Asad is the bold amber crowd-pleaser and Fakhar Silver for Men the clean, fresh daily option. If you love oud, the unisex Badee Al Oud Oud for Glory and Opulent Oud are rich and long-lasting, while Hayaati and Khamrah Dukhan lean masculine with a smoky, ambered warmth.
Lattafa scents are concentrated eau de parfums, so they tend to be strong performers: a couple of sprays usually lasts, and the sweet and oud styles in particular project well. Because the range is so big, our 5ml pocket decants are the easiest way to try a few before committing.
Lattafa FAQs
What is the most popular Lattafa perfume?
Khamrah is the runaway hit, a sweet, spiced gourmand that became a genuine phenomenon. After it, Asad is the go-to on the men's side and the Yara line is hugely popular with women. If you are buying your first Lattafa, any of those three is a safe bet.
What does Khamrah smell like?
Khamrah is a warm, boozy gourmand built on cinnamon, nutmeg and a sweet dates accord, over praline, vanilla and tonka. It is rich and spicy rather than fresh, cosy on the skin, and it is one of the reasons Lattafa broke through with a wider audience. If you are weighing it up against its flankers, our guide to how Khamrah, Qahwa and Dukhan compare breaks down which one suits which taste.
Are Lattafa perfumes long-lasting?
Generally yes. They are concentrated eau de parfums and many are among the stronger performers at their price, with the sweet gourmands and ouds especially known for lasting. It varies with skin and how much you apply, so a couple of sprays is usually plenty.
Are Lattafa perfumes good value?
Very. Lattafa built its reputation on rich, high-performing scents at a fraction of designer prices, which is a big part of why the brand took off. The quality is consistently well regarded, and the range is broad enough that most people find more than one they love.
With a range this size, the easiest way in is by style. If you love the sweet, gourmand side, our vanilla and gourmand perfumes collection is a natural next step, and if it is oud you are after, the oud perfumes collection is the place to explore.
