Latiff

Latiff is Luxe Fragrances' interpretation of Lattafa's viral Khamrah (2023), the dates-praline-vanilla oriental gourmand that became one of the most talked-about affordable fragrances of the last few years. Unusually for this catalogue, the original is already a budget-priced Lattafa bottle, so this is a dupe of a dupe-adjacent fragrance rather than a designer original. The pyramid matches well: cinnamon and nutmeg spice up the opening with bergamot softening the edges, dates and praline build the addictive sticky-sweet heart with tuberose adding a creamy floral touch, and vanilla, tonka bean and amberwood settle into a warm resinous close. The first two hours capture that cozy, spiced-dessert character reasonably well. Where it falls short is staying power - Khamrah is known for a strong, room-filling opening that gradually settles into a long-lasting skin scent over ten-plus hours, while this version's warmth fades noticeably sooner. A fun, cost-effective way to sample the trend, best worn on cool evenings and dates.
