Khamrah Qahwa
A flanker to the wildly popular Khamrah that layers a roasted coffee accord over the original's boozy date-and-cinnamon gourmand. A warm, sweet, spicy crowd-pleaser at a fraction of niche pricing.
Khamrah Qahwa opens on Coffee and Cinnamon, moves through Dates and Praline, and dries down to Tonka Bean and Vanilla. At $28 - $40 it is which makes it an easy budget pick, with long lasting (8h - 10h) on skin. Sample before you commit — it is loud and polarising rather than crowd-safe.

EXPERT ANALYSIS — COMPOSITION & PERFORMANCE
Khamrah Qahwa is Lattafa's 2023 eau de parfum from perfumer Undisclosed. Our analysis examines its three-phase structure, its longevity and projection profile, and the occasions it serves best.
The Opening
From the first spray, Coffee, Cinnamon, Nutmeg establish a bright citrus and warm spice character that defines the top of the composition.
The Heart
As the top notes settle, the heart turns floral and sweet gourmand, built around Dates, Praline, Mahonial. This is where the fragrance reveals its true personality, roughly two to four hours in.
The Dry-Down
Hours later it resolves into a smoky incense and golden amber foundation — Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Benzoin — that determines the lasting memory of the scent.
Who Should Buy Khamrah Qahwa
Khamrah Qahwa is genuinely unisex. Its season vector points strongest to autumn, and its day/night balance makes it best suited to evening wear and going out. If you gravitate toward bright citrus and floral compositions and want strong longevity, it belongs on your shortlist.
No major red flags in the composition, but fragrance is personal — skin chemistry can shift the balance of notes, so a sample wear is always wiser than a blind purchase at this price.
