Lattafa doesn’t release single fragrances so much as families. A successful launch gets flankers — variations that shift the original in a warmer, sweeter, smokier or fresher direction. That’s good news if you’ve found a profile you like, and confusing if you’re trying to work out which bottle to actually buy.
This page groups every Lattafa collection we stock in the UK, with a short note on what separates the variants within each family.
The collections
Khamrah
The range that took Lattafa mainstream. A spiced, boozy gourmand built around cinnamon, dates and tonka, with each flanker pulling the base in a different direction — coffee in one case, smoke in another. The differences between the variants are genuine, not cosmetic, and picking the wrong one is the most common mistake we see.
Browse the Khamrah collection — or read the full Khamrah trilogy guide before choosing.
Yara
Lattafa’s most commercially successful feminine line, and the one with the most variants. Broadly a creamy, fruity-floral gourmand, but the range spans from soft and powdery through to sharply fruity depending on which bottle you pick. Colour of the bottle is the usual shorthand, which doesn’t help much when they all sit on a shelf together.
Browse the Yara collection — our five-variant Yara guide breaks down the differences properly.
Asad
A masculine-leaning range with a fresh, ambery, slightly boozy character. Widely worn, widely complimented, and one of the easier Lattafa entries for someone coming from a designer wardrobe.
Mayar
A newer feminine range with a fruity, gourmand direction. Smaller than Yara but occupying similar territory, with a sweeter and more concentrated character.
Fakhar
A clean, versatile line that leans woody and ambery. Fakhar is one of the safest Lattafa recommendations for UK office wear — present without being loud.
How to choose within a collection
Three questions usually settle it.
- Where will you wear it? Collections almost always contain one variant that’s noticeably louder than the others. That bottle is an evening and winter proposition, not a daily driver.
- Sweet or dry? Most Lattafa flankers move along a sweetness axis. If the original felt too sweet, there is usually a drier sibling — and vice versa.
- Season? The gourmand and spiced variants suit British autumn and winter. Fresher, fruitier flankers work far better from April onwards.
Our winter picks cover the first category in more detail.
A note on batch and maceration
Within a collection, variants are often produced in different batches, and a freshly bottled flanker can smell thinner than an older bottle of the same fragrance. This is normal and it resolves. If you’re comparing two variants side by side, make sure you’re not actually comparing a settled bottle against a fresh one — see our maceration guide.
Buying safely in the UK
Popular collections attract counterfeits more than obscure ones, and Khamrah and Yara are the two most commonly faked Lattafa lines. If you’re buying outside an established stockist, run through our authentication checks before you commit.
Other ways to browse
If you know the scent profile you want rather than the range, browse by note — oud, vanilla, gourmand, leather, tobacco, saffron and tropical categories are all available. If you’re looking for an alternative to a specific designer or niche fragrance, the dupe categories are organised by inspiration.
