Lattafa Khamrah 100ml EDP – Kilian Dupe

Some fragrances fill a room. Khamrah (خمرة — Arabic for wine, intoxication) fills a memory. The black-and-gold bottle that took over fragrance TikTok in 2023, now rated 4.21/5 from more than 30,000 votes on Fragrantica.

It earned that reputation honestly. Wearers on Fragrantica report Lattafa Khamrah pulling compliments at weddings, dinners and nights out, with people stopping them to ask what it is. That is what Khamrah does to a room.

It is also the reason the whole Khamrah Lattafa perfumes line exists — Qahwa, Dukhan and Waha all came afterwards, built on what this bottle started. This page is the original, the one everybody talks about.

Below: the full pyramid, measured performance, the honest maths against Kilian Angels’ Share, and a table to work out which Khamrah you actually want before you spend anything.

The Scent Pyramid at a Glance

Lattafa Khamrah EDP — Quick Specs

What Does Lattafa Khamrah Smell Like?

Top — Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Bergamot. Picture a French patisserie next to a Marrakech spice market. Warm bread, spiced pastry, cinnamon sticks on a copper plate. That is the first ten minutes. Cinnamon and nutmeg arrive first, with bergamot lifting them. Bold, but never harsh.

Heart — Dates, Praline, Tuberose, Mahonial®. Then it settles. Dates emerge with a jammy Middle Eastern sweetness. Praline adds caramel creaminess. Tuberose gives the floral lift. Mahonial®, a Givaudan material, delivers the smooth, creamy brightness that separates this from every cheaper imitation of it.

Base — Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Amberwood, Myrrh, Benzoin, Akigalawood®. The dry-down is where Khamrah stops being clever and starts being expensive. Vanilla, tonka bean and amberwood combine into a warm resinous sweetness. Myrrh and benzoin add depth. Akigalawood® — Givaudan’s patchouli-derived captive ingredient — gives it a peppery woody anchor. The community verdict on the whole composition: “like liquid apple pie.”

Performance, Measured

Spray it Thursday morning. Your shirt collar still carries it on Saturday. That is not a figure of speech — it is one of the most common things wearers report.

How to get the most out of it. Two sprays. Spray on clothing as well as skin for maximum longevity. Apply an unscented moisturiser first if your skin eats fragrance. Best season is autumn and winter — cold air carries the spice and vanilla beautifully. And if a fresh bottle smells sharper or flatter than you expected, rest it a few weeks before judging it.

The Kilian Angels’ Share Comparison — Here’s the Actual Maths

Ask what Lattafa Khamrah is a clone of and you will get a lot of hand-waving. The answer is Kilian Angels’ Share, and here is the working rather than the assertion.

If you want the wider picture, we compare the whole range against their designer counterparts in our Lattafa dupes guide. If it is the Paradis version of the Kilian you are after, Lattafa Fire On Ice, our Angels’ Share Paradis alternative, is £22.49 for 110ml. Our Fire On Ice vs Khamrah comparison sets the two side by side, and Yara vs Khamrah covers the softer, powdery alternative.

Which Khamrah Should You Buy?

Khamrah is now a line of four, and they are genuinely different fragrances rather than tweaks of one formula. You are on the original. Here is the honest comparison so you buy the right bottle first time.

Where to Buy Khamrah in the UK

Khamrah is not a high-street fixture. Plenty of people search lattafa khamrah superdrug and lattafa khamrah boots hoping to spray it in a shop before committing, and the honest answer is that Lattafa’s UK distribution runs mainly through specialist fragrance retailers and online sellers rather than the big chains — so what any given branch has on the shelf varies, and we are not going to pretend to know their stock or their pricing this week.

What we can commit to is ours. £22.99 for the full 100ml bottle, sealed with the official Lattafa holographic authentication label, free tracked UK delivery with no minimum spend, dispatched within 24 hours, and 30 days to send it back if it turns out not to be for you. That is the whole offer, with no membership, no minimum basket and no waiting for a branch to restock.

The Lattafa Khamrah Bottle

The Lattafa Khamrah perfume bottle is a large part of why this thing went viral in the first place. Black and gold, heavy in the hand, with the ornate cap that reads far more expensive than £22.99 — it is the shape people recognise from a thousand TikToks. The packaging follows the same line: a matching black-and-gold outer box, cellophane-sealed, with the official Lattafa holographic authentication label on it. Check for that label whichever shop you buy from.

Practical notes on the bottle: it is 100ml of eau de parfum with an even, fine-misted atomiser, and the cap is a friction fit rather than a magnet, so it sits best upright in a drawer or on a shelf out of direct sunlight. Keep it away from a sunny windowsill and the juice will hold for years.

What Lattafa Khamrah Reviews Say

The consensus is unusually strong for a fragrance at this price. On Fragrantica it sits at 4.21/5 from more than 30,000 votes. The recurring line in almost every review is a version of “like liquid apple pie”: warm, spiced, edible, and heavier than most people expect from a £23 bottle.

The compliment reports are the other consistent theme — reviewers on Fragrantica describe being asked what they are wearing again and again. The two criticisms worth knowing about are that a minority find it too sweet outright (see below), and that it is too much for a warm room at three sprays. Both are dose and season problems rather than fragrance problems. Our full Lattafa Khamrah review goes deeper on the scent and how long it lasts. Weighing it against the coffee version? Our Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa review covers that one, and our Angham vs Khamrah gourmand comparison sets it against Lattafa’s other sweet bottles.

Good to Know Before You Buy

• It is a cold-weather fragrance. Autumn and winter, date nights, formal evenings, weddings, nights out. Heat amplifies the sweet-spice sharply, so hot summer days and the gym are the two places to leave it at home. For summer, Khamrah Waha is the one designed for it.
• One spray in an office. Projection is strong in enclosed spaces and this is a genuinely loud fragrance for its first two to three hours. Two sprays is plenty anywhere else.
• Rich, not cloying — but it is sweet. The spice and the woody base keep it in check, and if you enjoy gourmands you will not find it excessive. If you actively dislike sweet fragrances, this is not the one that converts you.
• Alcohol Denat formula. Suitable for daily wear. Whether that meets your personal standard is covered in our guide to alcohol denat in Lattafa fragrances.
• Give a fresh bottle a few weeks. Like most Lattafa releases it improves with a little maceration time in a cool, dark cupboard.
• Same bottle, different shop names. You will also see it listed as “Khamrah by Lattafa” or misspelt “Khamra”. It is the same fragrance.

Khamrah also appears in our best Lattafa mens perfume guide as the winter signature most men end up reaching for.
