Lattafa Khamrah
Date, cinnamon, praline and vanilla: the most cited spicy gourmand in this lane.
Pros: Massive sillage and minimal price.
Cons: More date and sweetness, less cognac and wood.
Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa
A coffee variant that adds an interesting toasted bitterness.
Pros: A toasted nuance that cuts the sweetness.
Cons: The coffee steers it away from the original’s cognac.
Verdict
Is the original or the alternative worth it?
The original has a boozier cognac and a more pronounced oak, but Lattafa Khamrah captures much of the spicy-sweet effect with massive sillage for very little.
