The story

Khamrah launched in 2022 from Lattafa, the Dubai-based house known for affordable, high-performance Arabian-inspired fragrances. The name derives from the Arabic root for 'wine' or intoxication, reflecting its boozy, spiced, dessert-like character built around dates, cinnamon and praline. It quickly became one of Lattafa's biggest global hits, propelled by social media and its reputation as an inexpensive alternative to far costlier niche gourmands. It is frequently compared to By Kilian Angels' Share and Parfums de Marly Althair for its warm-spice-and-vanilla signature. A Qahwa (coffee) flanker followed on the strength of the original's success.

Our take

A warm, boozy-sweet gourmand built on dates, cinnamon and praline over a vanilla-tonka base, evoking spiced Middle Eastern sweets. It punches far above its price for projection and is a cold-weather favorite.
