Is Lattafa Khamrah really the best Angels’ Share dupe? We tested it across daily wear, layering, and winter nights to see if this viral fragrance lives up to the hype.
Khamrah: The £30 Fragrance That Smells Like Luxury
When a fragrance pulls in over 50 million views on TikTok, gets whispered about on Reddit, and even your barber starts recommending it — you know it’s worth investigating.
Lattafa Khamrah is being called the best dupe for Kilian Angels’ Share. But here’s the thing:
It doesn’t just copy. It creates its own lane — a warm, spicy, unapologetically sweet fragrance that’s become a winter staple for under £35.
I wore it to dinner in Shoreditch last week. The coat check guy leaned in and asked, “Is that By Kilian?”
Not bad for a budget bottle.
What Does Lattafa Khamrah Smell Like?
Imagine sticky date pudding glazed in cinnamon syrup. A glass of mulled wine beside you. Leather gloves warming your hands after stepping out of the cold.
That’s Khamrah.
- Top: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Bergamot
- Heart: Dates, Praline, Tuberose
- Base: Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Myrrh, Benzoin, Amberwood
It opens with spiced warmth, settles into creamy vanilla-amber, and leaves behind a golden trail of sweet decadence.
How Long It Lasts
- Longevity: 9–11 hours on jumpers, 7+ on skin
- Projection: Strong in the first 2 hours, then softens
- Sillage: Noticeable in enclosed spaces — lifts, cars, meetings
This isn’t a freshie — it blooms in the cold, where its sweetness carries beautifully.
Where and When to Wear It
- 🍷 Date nights
- ❄️ Winter mornings
- 🕌 Post-prayer dinners or family gatherings
- 🎁 Gifting season — this feels niche without the niche price
Avoid it in hot weather unless you're deliberately going for “spiced dessert in July.”
