Khamrah EDP - Eau De Parfum Unisex 100ml(3.4 oz) | Vanilla Sweet Warm Spicy Woody | by Lattafa Perfumes

Product Information

Vanilla appears, bitter and strict, and then bitter-powdery tonka beans and salty-sweet myrrh follow. Why are you wearing a men's perfume? I'm asked that too often. Let's just get that nasty question out of the way first, shall we?

To be honest, I rarely find the prices of perfumes "worth it", but I do think a lot of people will like this fragrance - men and women. Fair warning though – again- : if you are attracted to Khamrah because you're dreaming of smelling like Angel's Share for a fraction of the price... don't buy it. There are certainly nice dupes*, with a twist and with a very close to Killian-DNA, but both in its pyramid aswell as its scent on my skin, Khamrah is simply a unisex gourmand that could be loved by Angel Share enthusiasts on its own merit. Nothing more, nothing less. But Angels' Share immediately goes to an alcoholic side – cognac in all its forms, and its sweetness is completely European in spirit and taste. Kažem jedan dan mom mužu nek ga i on proba, jer unisex je (iako na nekim arapskim sajtovima stoji da je muški), pa rekoh kako će to kod njega ispasti. Ajme... mnoge je mirise moj muž koristio, ali kako mu ovaj predobro stoji. Na mom mužu začini, slatko ali i toplo drvenasto više dođu do izražaja, i tako je Khamrah dobio (ili dobila, neznam što riječ znači) novog vlasnika.That base leans heavily on vanilla and the three woods; Mahogany from the heart, and Akigala + Amber woods on the bottom tier. Here and there the benzoin and myrrhe give it extra depth and warmth. I've often heard describe Khamrah as “boozy”, but I'm not getting any of that. Just like the apple pie has never entered my olfactory senses when wearing this chique Lattafa. Kad sam raspakiravala poklon, odmah zatim sam ga i špricnula na ruku i rastopila se od ljepote i zahvalnosti. Topli slatki začinski miris kako ja mnogo volim. No međutim, za neko vrijeme je uslijedilo i nošenje ali ja sam se s vremenom sve manje nalazila s njim. Da su ostale cimet i datulje na meni kao što stoji u sastavu, ma super, ali ja sam sve više osjećala miris oštrog drveta, friškog papira, dimova, sa tek malim natruhama slatkog, i sviđa se to meni ovako kad kažem, ali opet nositi je bilo nešto drugo. Nisam to bila ja. On the days the note, or better said: my skin, behaved the flower simply added sweetness that translated somehow as a very coconutty heart – straight into the base. The top accord of Khamrah Perfume is the citrusy freshness of bergamot framed by the warm, velvety spice of cinnamon and refined clary sage. The heart of the perfume resonates with the delightful creamy smell of praline, melting in a fragrant haze of sweet fruity notes and tuberose floral nuances. At the same time, the base of Lattafa Khamrah delivers a sumptuous aromatic trail that blends the sensual sweetness of vanilla with spicy precious woods, sweet, smoky oud, smoky aromatic myrrh, spicy tonka bean and vanilla resinous benzoin, shimmering softly in the beams. Refined amber. The performance on this, is mind blowing. Put this on my arm, an hour later, I took a nap and woke up 2 hours later and was like “Jeez, what’s this beautiful aroma?”, then I realized I sprayed Khamrah... and lo and behold, it was just as if I was just spraying it. It’s just too strong and loud. I just got it and It’s been 5-6 hours now and it’s still loud.

Projection and sillage are moderate. Longevity is ...hours. And hours. Which came as quite the surprise. My skin doesn't project and “eats perfume”, making beastmode fragrances and very longlasting scents a near impossibility. Khamrah does it though. Even a first test with one spray on the top of my hand stayed for 8 hours. A full wear remained even longer and kept a moderate projection quite constantly. I've not tested on clothes, as I rarely do so, but I wouldn't be surprised if that would result in a 24h+ wear.The fact is that I tried Khamrah Lattafa Perfumes without even knowing what its bottle looked like. Among the samples of Arabic fragrances that one of the readers sent me was Khamrah. I liked it very much - a frank South, not even trying to flirt with Western tastes: fleshy dates and Arabic sweets, an abundance of beautiful spices, but at the same time without the obsessive suffocating sweetness that is often characteristic of Arabic perfumes. The fragrance opens on the sparkling, citrusy notes of bergamot, warmed by the spicy presence of cinnamon and nutmeg. Heart of the fragrance is the intense sweetness of dates that twists around the heady nuances of lily of the valley, the sensual ones of tuberose and the delicious notes of pralines. On the skin, the olfactory notes of toasted Tonka beans, vanilla, myrrh and amber wood will finally gently settle. Spicy Fragrances Khamrah has a gingerbread meets cinnamon rolls kind of sweetness with a few extra delicious things thrown in. Which isn't strange considering the notes of cinnamon and nutmeg in the top.
