WHIFFY FRAGRANCE GUIDE
Discover the Lattafa Khamrah Fragrance Collection
Explore the four distinctive fragrances in the iconic Lattafa Khamrah collection,
from the original sweet gourmand to coffee, smoky tobacco and fresh aquatic interpretations.
If you love warm, sweet, spicy and luxurious fragrances, there is a good chance you have already heard of
Lattafa Khamrah.
What started with the original Khamrah in 2022 has grown into a complete fragrance collection.
There are now four fragrances in the collection:
Khamrah, Khamrah Qahwa, Khamrah Dukhan and the newest addition,
Khamrah Waha.
While all four fragrances share the Khamrah name and a recognisable sense of richness and character,
each one takes the collection in a very different direction. From sweet gourmand warmth and Arabic
coffee to smoky tobacco and fresh aquatic notes, there is now a Khamrah for very different moods,
seasons and fragrance preferences.

1. Lattafa Khamrah
The fragrance that started it all
Lattafa Khamrah
launched in 2022 and quickly became one of the house’s most recognisable fragrances.
The fragrance opens with bergamot, cinnamon and nutmeg, creating a warm and spicy
introduction. The heart becomes richer with dates, praline and tuberose, while the
base brings together vanilla, tonka bean, amberwood, myrrh, benzoin and Akigalawood.
The result is a rich, sweet and comforting fragrance with a distinctly gourmand character.
Khamrah works particularly well for evening wear, special occasions and cooler seasons.
If you enjoy fragrances built around vanilla, spices, praline, dates and warm amber,
the original Khamrah is the natural place to start.
Top: Bergamot, Cinnamon, Nutmeg
Heart: Dates, Praline, Tuberose
Base: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Amberwood, Myrrh, Benzoin, Akigalawood
2. Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa
The coffee twist
If the original Khamrah is warm and sweet,
Khamrah Qahwa
adds a distinctive coffee character to the formula.
Released in 2023, Qahwa opens with ginger, cinnamon and cardamom before moving
into a heart of praline, candied fruits and white flowers. The base introduces
Arabica coffee, tonka bean, musk, benzoin and vanilla.
The Arabic word Qahwa refers to coffee, and coffee is what gives this version
its personality. It remains recognisably part of the Khamrah family, but the coffee accord gives
it a darker, richer and more aromatic character.
If you enjoy sweet coffee, vanilla, cardamom and spicy gourmand fragrances,
Khamrah Qahwa deserves a place on your list.
Top: Ginger, Cinnamon, Cardamom
Heart: Praline, Candied Fruits, White Flowers
Base: Arabica Coffee, Tonka Bean, Musk, Benzoin, Vanilla
Did You Know?
Khamrah Qahwa was voted Best Unisex Fragrance in the
Fragrantica Readers’ Choice Awards 2024, highlighting just how popular
this coffee-inspired interpretation has become among fragrance enthusiasts.
3. Lattafa Khamrah Dukhan
The smoky side of Khamrah
In 2025, Lattafa took the Khamrah collection in a darker direction with
Khamrah Dukhan
.
“Dukhan” means smoke, and the fragrance is built around a noticeably
smokier and deeper interpretation of the Khamrah style.
The opening combines mandarin, pimento and smoked spices.
The heart develops with cistus, orange blossom, incense and patchouli,
while the base brings together tobacco, amber, tonka bean, benzoin and praline.
Compared with the original Khamrah and Qahwa, Dukhan feels darker, smokier and more intense.
If you enjoy tobacco, incense, amber and warm spicy fragrances, this could be
the Khamrah for you.
Top: Mandarin, Pimento, Smoked Spices
Heart: Cistus, Orange Blossom, Incense, Patchouli
Base: Tobacco, Amber, Tonka Bean, Benzoin, Praline
4. Lattafa Khamrah Waha
A completely different side of Khamrah
The newest member of the collection is Khamrah Waha, launched in 2026.
While the first three fragrances explore warm, sweet, spicy, coffee and smoky territories,
Khamrah Waha introduces a much fresher and more energetic interpretation.
The opening combines bergamot, yuzu, juniper and ginger, giving the fragrance
a bright citrus and aromatic character.
The heart introduces cucumber, sea salt, sage and iris, creating a crisp,
aquatic and mineral feeling.
The base returns to some of the familiar warmth associated with Khamrah through
vanilla, tonka bean and musk, alongside modern woody notes.
This makes Waha particularly interesting for people who love the Khamrah name but want something
fresh enough for warmer weather and daytime wear.
Top: Bergamot, Yuzu, Juniper, Ginger
Heart: Cucumber, Sea Salt, Sage, Iris
Base: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Akigalawood, Ambrofix

Khamrah vs Khamrah Qahwa vs Dukhan vs Waha
One of the most interesting things about the collection is how differently each fragrance
approaches the same Khamrah identity.
Khamrah is the sweet gourmand foundation.
Khamrah Qahwa adds coffee and gives the collection a darker roasted character.
Khamrah Dukhan introduces smoke, tobacco and incense for a deeper and more mysterious profile.
Khamrah Waha takes the concept in a completely different direction with
citrus, aquatic and refreshing notes.
So while the four fragrances belong to the same collection, they are not simply four versions
of the same perfume.
Why Is Lattafa Khamrah So Popular?
Khamrah has become one of the most recognisable names in modern Arabian perfumery.
One of the reasons is its ability to offer a rich, luxurious fragrance experience at a more
accessible price point than many designer and niche fragrances.
The original Khamrah has remained highly visible among fragrance enthusiasts, while Qahwa,
Dukhan and Waha have continued to expand the collection into new scent territories.
The collection also demonstrates what makes Arabian perfumery so exciting:
bold fragrance profiles, rich gourmand accords, woods, spices, amber and modern
interpretations of Middle Eastern fragrance styles.
