Fragrance Notes Deep Dive
Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and Lattafa Khamrah is no exception.

This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of Vanilla, Tobacco, Amber, Benzoin and Musk anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Lattafa Khamrah leaves long after you have left the room.
The overall accord profile leans toward Sweet, Gourmand, Warm Spicy, Tobacco, making Lattafa Khamrah a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
