In the Lattafa Angham vs Second Song decision, pick Angham if you want a warm, dessert-like lavender, cocoa and praliné scent for cold months and evenings. Pick Angham Second Song if you want a brighter pear, peony and orange-blossom vanilla for daytime, the office and warm weather.
They share a praliné heart and a vanilla-musk base, but they are different fragrances, not a strong and light version of one scent. If you wear perfume all year, owning both costs less than £50 for 200ml.
Lattafa now sells two perfumes under the Angham name, and the second one has caused a lot of confusion. Some buyers assume Second Song is a lighter “summer edition” of the original. Others assume it is a straight replacement. Neither is right. This guide lays the two side by side on verified notes, mood, sweetness, wearer-reported performance and live price, then gets specific: which one for the office, for a date, for a summer holiday, and as a gift.
If you already know which bottle you are leaning towards, the full details live on each product page: Lattafa Angham 100ml Eau de Parfum and Lattafa Angham Second Song 100ml Eau de Parfum. You can also browse both together in the Lattafa Angham collection.
Angham vs Second Song: the notes side by side
These pyramids are taken from Fragrantica’s Angham listing and Fragrantica’s Angham Second Song listing, and checked against Lattafa’s official Second Song page. Angham launched in 2024. Second Song was released on 29 January 2026, according to Fragrantica’s launch report.
TopMandarin, ginger, pink pepper
HeartLavender, cocoa, jasmine, praliné
BaseVanilla, musk, amber
Fragrantica lists itFor women and men
TopBergamot, pear blossom
HeartOrange blossom, peony, praliné
BaseVanilla, tonka, ambroxan, musk
Fragrantica lists itFor women
What they share: praliné in the heart, and vanilla and musk in the base. That is the family resemblance, and it is why both dry down to a soft, sweet skin scent. What they don’t share: everything that gives each one its character. Angham’s lavender, cocoa, ginger and amber are absent from Second Song. Second Song’s pear blossom, peony, orange blossom, tonka and ambroxan are absent from Angham. In practice, you are choosing between a lavender-cocoa gourmand and a fruity white-floral gourmand.
Mood, sweetness and season
MoodCosy, rich, dessert-like, with an aromatic lavender spine
SweetnessDeep and edible: cocoa, praliné, amber
Best seasonAutumn and winter, evenings
MoodBright, juicy, polished, with a clean vanilla finish
SweetnessLighter and fruitier: pear, florals, vanilla-tonka
Best seasonSpring and summer, daytime
Both are sweet, and neither will win over someone who dislikes sweet perfume. The difference is the type of sweetness. Angham’s comes from cocoa, praliné and amber, so it reads warm and heavy, which suits cold air and wears thick in heat. Second Song’s comes from pear and a vanilla-tonka base lifted by bergamot and ambroxan, so it reads cleaner and lighter. Fragrantica’s main accords reflect this: vanilla, sweet and lavender lead for Angham; floral, sweet and vanilla lead for Second Song.
One honest caveat on Second Song: some Fragrantica reviewers find it generic or linear, with the florals fading as the vanilla takes over. On Angham, the recurring split is whether the vanilla or the lavender dominates on a given skin.
Longevity and projection (wearer-reported)
These figures come from what wearers report, not lab measurement, and they vary with skin, climate and number of sprays.
LongevityReports range from a few hours to 10+ on Fragrantica, longer on clothing
ProjectionA close scent bubble rather than a room-filler
LongevityReports vary from wearer to wearer on Fragrantica; it lasts longer on clothing, and bottles vary before maceration
ProjectionModerate; some find it projects well early, then settles to a skin scent
The pattern is consistent across Angham reviews on Fragrantica and Second Song reviews on Fragrantica: a fresh bottle of either can feel quieter than expected, and many wearers say performance improves after a few weeks or months of rest. For Second Song, reviewers most often mention two to three months. Our Lattafa maceration guide explains why and how to do it. Neither is a beast-mode projector, so if you need a scent that fills a room, look elsewhere.
Price: what each one costs
The gap is £3.50, so price should not decide this. Choose on scent and season. Every order ships free and tracked across the UK with no minimum spend, is dispatched within 24 hours, and comes with 30-day returns. Every bottle is 100% authentic with Lattafa’s holographic seal. Both sit within the full Lattafa UK range we carry, if you would like to compare them with the rest of the house first.
Which one for which occasion?
The product pages give the basic season split. Real decisions are more specific than “winter or summer”, so here are the scenarios people actually buy for.
Bright, clean and moderate in projection, so it is easy to wear around colleagues in shared space. Two sprays. Angham can work in a cold office, but cocoa and praliné at a desk all day is a lot for the people around you.
A close, warm scent bubble that is noticed when someone leans in, which is exactly what you want at a dinner table. The lavender-cocoa-vanilla mix reads grown-up rather than sugary.
Pear and orange blossom hold up in warm air where cocoa and amber turn heavy. The vanilla base still gives it the soft, flattering finish a date scent needs.
If you are packing one bottle for somewhere hot, take this one. Spray lightly, as heat amplifies sweetness. Store it out of the sun in your room, not on a hot balcony.
Angham is the one reviewers compare to Goddess, because the two share lavender, vanilla, cocoa and ginger. Second Song has none of those, so it would be the wrong gift for a Goddess fan. Goddess carries a UK RRP of £99 for 50ml. Royal Scents is not affiliated with Burberry. See the full notes on the Lattafa Angham Burberry Goddess dupe.
If they wear pear, peony or orange-blossom scents, this is the safer blind gift. Reviewers often compare it to Dolce & Gabbana My Devotion. Lattafa does not market it as a dupe, and we are not affiliated with D&G.
Fragrantica lists Angham “for women and men”, and the lavender makes it an easy cross-over. Second Song is listed for women and leans feminine in its florals.
If you are not sure how much sweetness you like, start with the lighter, fresher one. If you love it and want something richer, Angham is the natural next step.
Angham or Second Song: a quick decision guide
Buy Angham if you love lavender, cocoa or chocolate notes; you mostly wear perfume from October to April or in the evening; you liked Burberry Goddess; or you want something easy to share.
Buy Second Song if you prefer fresh fruit and flowers to dessert; you need a daytime or office scent; most of your wear is spring and summer; or lavender has never worked on you.
Skip both if you dislike sweet fragrances in general, or you want a loud, room-filling projector. Our Lattafa dupes guide and best Lattafa perfumes for women cover drier and stronger options.
Should you own both?
For many people, yes, and it is the most sensible answer to “angham or second song” if you wear fragrance year-round. They barely overlap: one covers cold months and evenings, the other warm months and daytime. Together they cost £39.48 for 200ml, which is less than half the £99 UK RRP of a 50ml Burberry Goddess.
Owning both makes less sense if you only wear perfume occasionally, since 100ml of each will last a long time, or if you already know one style isn’t for you. Lavender is the usual dealbreaker for Angham. Floral sweetness is the usual one for Second Song.
