Lattafa Khamrah — Spiced Dates, Praline and Vanilla for £23.47
Cinnamon · Nutmeg · Bergamot · Clary Sage · Dates · Praline · Tuberose · Lily of the Valley · Mahonial® · Vanilla · Tonka Bean · Amberwood · Myrrh · Benzoin · Akigalawood® — 100ml Eau de Parfum, 100% authentic, dispatched from the UK.
Some fragrances fill a room. Khamrah (خمرة — Arabic for wine, intoxication) fills a memory. The black-and-gold bottle that broke TikTok in 2023 with over 100 million views, now rated 8.0/10 by 4,327 Parfumo reviewers.
It earned that reputation honestly. We wore Lattafa Khamrah through Bradford winter weddings, a Friday curry night, and a Sunday brunch. By Monday, three different people had asked what it was. 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. If you searched khamrah by lattafa, lattafa khamrah uk or khamrah lattafa uk and wanted the one everybody talks about, this is it.

What Does Lattafa Khamrah Smell Like?
Top — Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Bergamot, Clary Sage. 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, and clary sage adds a herbal softness that rounds the spice off. Bold, but never harsh.
Heart — Dates, Praline, Tuberose, Lily of the Valley, Mahonial®. Then it settles. Dates emerge with a jammy Middle Eastern sweetness. Praline adds caramel creaminess. Tuberose and lily of the valley give the floral lift. Mahonial® — a patented Firmenich molecule — 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 lattafa khamrah fragrance notes as a whole: “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 the single most common thing UK buyers report back.
Figures reflect wearer-reported performance at 2 sprays. It projects harder than most people expect — two is enough, and one is enough at a desk.
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. Here’s what maceration does and why Lattafa bottles need it →
The Kilian Angels’ Share Comparison — Here’s the Actual Maths
Search “what is lattafa khamrah a clone of“, “lattafa khamrah dupe of which perfume” or just “lattafa khamrah dupe” and you will get a lot of hand-waving. The answer is Kilian Angels’ Share, and here is the working rather than the assertion.
✓ Praline heart
✓ Sweet amber base
✓ Vanilla & tonka drydown
✕ Cognac — boozier in the Kilian
✕ Skin longevity — Kilian marginally ahead
Figure from multiple community blind tests, not from us. We’ve simply not rounded it up.

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.
| Bottle | Signature notes | Character | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Khamrah (this page) | Cinnamon, nutmeg, dates, praline, vanilla, tonka | Warm spiced gourmand — the viral one | Winter evenings, weddings, first-time buyers | £23.47 |
| Khamrah Qahwa | The same spiced-date accord, led by coffee | Coffee gourmand — richer, more grown-up | Anyone who found the original too sweet | £23.24 |
| Khamrah Dukhan | Smoky tobacco over the spiced base | Smoky and niche-leaning — the least sweet | Collectors who already own the original | £20.20 |
| Khamrah Waha | Fresh aquatic treatment of the house accord | The outlier — light, cool, not a gourmand | Summer and daytime wear | £37.69 |

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. £23.47 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 £23.47 — it is the shape people recognise from a thousand TikToks. The lattafa khamrah 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 lattafa khamrah 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. Across 4,327 Parfumo reviewers it sits at 8.0/10 — and Reddit’s r/fragrance consensus is that it is blind-buy safe, which is not a thing that community says lightly. The recurring line in any lattafa khamrah review you read 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, and they match our own wear-testing — three separate people asked about it inside a single weekend. 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.
Why Buy Khamrah From Royal Scents
Every bottle is genuine Lattafa, sealed with the holographic label and stored in the UK. And we have just told you that the Kilian is boozier, that its skin longevity is marginally better, and that Khamrah is the wrong bottle if you want something for July. We would rather sell you the right bottle than process your return.

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. More detail in our fragrance guide.
- Give a fresh bottle a few weeks. Like most Lattafa releases it improves with a little maceration time in a cool, dark cupboard.
- Also listed as “Khamrah Lattafa UK”, “Khamrah by Lattafa” and “Lattafa Khamra” — same fragrance, you’re on the right page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Lattafa Khamrah smell like?
Warm spiced gourmand. Cinnamon and nutmeg open it with bergamot and clary sage for lift, jammy dates and caramel praline build the heart, and it lands on vanilla, tonka bean, amberwood, myrrh and benzoin. The community shorthand is “liquid apple pie”, and that is close — a French patisserie next to a Marrakech spice market.
What is Lattafa Khamrah a clone of?
Kilian Angels’ Share. They share the spiced cognac-praline-vanilla DNA, and multiple community blind tests put the similarity at 85–90% in the air. The Kilian is boozier with more cognac; Khamrah is sweeter with louder dates, and its skin longevity is marginally behind. At £23.47 against £210 for 50ml of the Kilian at Selfridges, that is a £186 saving for twice the liquid.
Is Lattafa Khamrah for men?
Yes, and for women — it is unisex, and community data shows a roughly equal split between the two. Some US retailers list it as Khamrah by Lattafa for men, which is a shop’s categorisation rather than anything about the juice. The spice reads masculine, the vanilla reads feminine, and most wearers stop caring after the first compliment.
How long does Lattafa Khamrah last?
Eight to ten hours on skin, consistently, and days on clothing — many UK buyers detect it on a shirt collar the next morning. Projection is beast mode for the first two to three hours and moderate-strong after that. Two sprays is enough; spray on clothing as well as skin for maximum longevity.
What are the Lattafa Khamrah notes in full?
Fifteen of them. Top: cinnamon, nutmeg, bergamot, clary sage. Heart: dates, praline, tuberose, lily of the valley and Mahonial®. Base: vanilla, tonka bean, amberwood, myrrh, benzoin and Akigalawood®. The two trademarked molecules are what give it the creamy brightness and the peppery woody anchor respectively. Some listings write the name the other way round — the Khamrah Lattafa notes are the same fifteen, because there is only one formula.
Is Lattafa Khamrah too sweet?
It is rich rather than cloying. The spice and the woody base notes hold the sweetness in check, so gourmand wearers rarely find it excessive. If you want the same character with less sugar, Khamrah Qahwa takes it in a coffee direction and Khamrah Dukhan takes it smoky.
Is Lattafa Khamrah worth a blind buy?
Reddit r/fragrance consensus is yes, and 4,327 Parfumo reviewers rating it 8.0/10 supports that. At £23.47 with 30-day returns there is very little at risk either way.
What do Lattafa Khamrah reviews say?
Overwhelmingly positive, with two consistent caveats: a minority find it too sweet, and almost everyone agrees it is too much for a warm enclosed room at three sprays. Reviewers who own Kilian Angels’ Share confirm the resemblance. Compliment reports are the most common single theme.
Can I buy Lattafa Khamrah in the UK?
Yes — this is a UK shop. The full 100ml Lattafa Khamrah EDP is £23.47, in stock, sealed with the Lattafa holographic authentication label, dispatched within 24 hours with free tracked UK delivery and no minimum spend.
Written and wear-tested by Shaheen Shah Abrar, Founder of Royal Scents. Worn through Bradford winter weddings, a Friday curry night and a Sunday brunch. By Monday three different people had asked what it was. That is the whole review.
