Introduction
Lattafa releases more than 100 perfumes every year. Some of them are absolute masterpieces, and some of them are… honestly confusing.
That is the problem with fast-growing fragrance brands. When everything launches so quickly, quality becomes inconsistent. You might find a hidden gem for 30 dollars, or you might end up with a bottle that smells nothing like what you expected.
We tested some of the most popular Lattafa perfumes to help you avoid wasting your money.
This is not a hype article. This is a real, honest breakdown of Lattafa: the good, the bad, and the ones that are just okay.
The Good – The Masterpieces (Blind Buy Safe)
These are the Lattafa perfumes that almost everyone loves. Safe to buy, great performance, and excellent value for money.
Lattafa Khamrah / Khamrah Qahwa
Smells like: Angel’s Share DNA
Vibe: Sweet, boozy, winter luxury
Khamrah is one of Lattafa’s biggest success stories. It smells rich, sweet, and edible. Think dates, cinnamon, vanilla, and warm sugar syrup.
This is the type of fragrance people stop you for.
Longevity is easily 10 to 12 hours, and projection is very strong in cold weather.
Why it’s good:
High quality, unique smell, insane performance for the price.
Lattafa Yara (Pink)
Smells like: Strawberry milkshake
Vibe: Soft, cute, feminine
Yara became viral for a reason. It is fluffy, creamy, and extremely easy to like. Marshmallow, vanilla, and light florals.
This is one of the safest blind buys for women.
Longevity is around 7 to 9 hours, which is very good for a sweet floral.
Why it’s good:
Universally loved scent, no harsh notes, perfect daily wear.
Lattafa Asad
Smells like: Sauvage Elixir
Vibe: Spicy, masculine, confident
Asad is easily one of the best value perfumes in the entire market.
Spicy vanilla, black pepper, and warm amber. Smells expensive, lasts long, and costs very little.
Longevity is 9 to 11 hours.
Why it’s good:
Best price-to-performance ratio in Lattafa’s lineup.
The Meh – Good, But Basic
These are not bad perfumes. They are just very common, very safe, and not exciting.
Lattafa Fakhar Black
Smells like: YSL Y
Vibe: Clean, office, modern
Fakhar Black is fresh, sweet, and mass-appealing. But it smells like many other perfumes in the market.
Good for daily office wear, gym, or casual use.
Longevity is 6 to 7 hours.
Why it’s meh:
Smells nice, but nothing special. You have smelled this DNA before.
Lattafa Najdia
Smells like: Rasasi Hawas
Vibe: Sporty, fresh, gym scent
Najdia is fresh and youthful. Good for hot weather, gym, and daily errands.
But performance is average. It fades faster than Hawas.
Longevity is 5 to 6 hours.
Why it’s meh:
Decent smell, but performance and uniqueness are weak.
H2: The Bad – The Risky Blind Buys
These are not “bad quality” perfumes. They are just very challenging and not for beginners.
Maahir Black Edition (The Horse)
Smells like: Burning woods and smoke
Vibe: Dark, niche, aggressive
This is one of the most polarizing Lattafa perfumes ever.
Heavy smoke, dark oud, and dry woods. Some people find it artistic. Most people find it overwhelming.
Why it’s bad for most people:
Too smoky, too intense, very niche taste.
Badee Al Oud Amethyst
Smells like: Jammy rose and oud
Vibe: Middle Eastern luxury
Rose and oud is a dangerous combination.
Some people love the sweet rose jam vibe. Others say it smells like rubber or medicine.
Why it’s risky:
Very polarizing. Must test before buying.
Oud Mood
Smells like: Sweet medicinal oud
Vibe: Traditional Arabic
This smells very Middle Eastern. Sweet, thick, medicinal oud.
If you are not used to Arabic perfumes, this can easily give you a headache.
Why it’s risky:
Not beginner friendly at all.
Final Verdict: Is Lattafa a Good Brand?
Yes, Lattafa is a good brand — but not a consistent brand.
They make:
- some of the best cheap perfumes in the world
- and some very confusing niche experiments
If you stick to their top sellers like Khamrah, Yara, and Asad, you will be very happy.
If you blind buy their darker oud scents, you are gambling.
Who Should Buy Lattafa?
Great for
- beginners
- budget fragrance lovers
- people who want strong performance
Not great for
- people sensitive to strong smells
- niche beginners
- those who hate sweet or oud-heavy scents
