No.699 Khamrah

No.699 is Eden Perfumes' version of Khamrah, the Lattafa release that went from niche-forum favourite to a genuine TikTok phenomenon, and it uses essentially the same pyramid - cinnamon, nutmeg and bergamot opening onto a heart of dates, praline, tuberose and mahonial, resting on a base of vanilla, tonka bean, amberwood, myrrh, benzoin and akigalawood. That's a lot of gourmand-spice architecture for a budget price, and it does capture the core appeal: a warm, sweet, slightly boozy dessert-like fragrance that's genuinely comforting to wear. What it doesn't fully replicate is Khamrah's reputation for enormous projection and 8-10 hour skin longevity with 12+ hours on clothing - this dupe is more moderate in both sillage and staying power, reading as a lighter, closer-to-skin version of the same gourmand idea rather than a room-filling clone. It's unisex by design, best suited to cool-weather evenings, and works well as an accessible way to test whether the dates-and-praline gourmand trend suits you before spending on the full-price original.
