Dark, enticing, and irresistibly smoky-step into the smoke.

REVIEWS

Fragrantica -  "This is my first Khamrah fragrance and I flipping adore it. I've smelt the regular Khamrah on other people before and yes, it has it's similarities, but is much more deep and complex and unique. The smoky, spicy opening is to die for then that dry down to a cozy, apple pie by a fireplace makes it one of my favorites."

Fragrantica -  "Recently went and bought all three lataffa khamrahs and this one is my FAVOURITE of the three. Smells almost like the original just with the added smokiness on the opening and a lingering incense sort of smell on the dry down making it more masculine and bold than the original... and can I add wayyyy more addicting. Definitely blind buy safe if that wasnt obvious 10/10 fragrance you cannot go wrong."

Fragrantica -  "Hands down the best iteration of Khamrah, till date. A smokier, more incensey, mature and unapologetically masculine take on the original, for me it was love at first sniff. A job well done Lattafa."

Fragrantica -  "Sweet, ambery, and "gourmandish"- likely due to the praline and/or tonka accord. But the most distinguishing feature/note(s) is the use of spices such as Pimento & "spices". It's a vague description but it's most certainly there.  I also detect the Incense & Tobacco, giving Dukhan a more darker & masculine profile. But overall it's still scent that can be worn by everyone. Performance also seems to be on par with the previous Khamrah's, so no issues there. I think I'll stick with the OG but I do think this is a step up from Qahwa."

Fragrantica -  "When you first spray Khamrah Dukhan, it hits you with unapologetic smoke, bold, dry, and even a little harsh. Many people stop right there, judging it within the first five minutes. But if you let it live on your skin for two hours, that's when the real story begins.  What emerges is one of the most warm, masculine gourmand-incense dry downs I've ever experienced in a fragrance under €100. The smoke softens, the spices melt, and an amber-tonka-praline accord rises through the ashes like a quiet fire glowing in the dark."

Fragrantica - "This isn't a sweet-for-everyone scent like the original Khamrah or the coffee-driven Qahwa. Dukhan feels mature, confident, grounded, and unapologetically male. It's a fragrance that doesn't try to please; it transforms, it deepens, it earns your respect.  The problem is that most people never reach that part. The world has grown impatient. We test on paper, sniff the opening, and move on, chasing dopamine instead of evolution. That's why Dukhan remains underrated: it asks for time, and rewards those who give it.  In a market drowning in unisex ambroxan clones, Khamrah Dukhan stands apart as warm smoke, quiet strength, and masculine elegance. It's a scent that doesn't shout, it burns slowly."

Fragrantica -  "I was torn between choosing this, Qahwa and the OG. But my girl absolutely adores the smell of the OG, so I gave her that. And I got myself this. I love the smell of coffee, but I drink and smell coffee every day and having that as a scent to wear was a bit too indifferent. The spicy opening notes made the scent ooze in class. Dukhan really feels like a men's fragrance, and others were a bit too feminine and more focused on smelling like a dessert. Dukhan has more of a character I wanted, which keeps the ones around me guessing. Since the scent is very much the same to others in the line except for the opening 30 mins. She loves this on me on the more intimate occasions. My go-to date night scent."

Fragrantica -  "If the OG smells like a Yuletide dessert, this smells like that same dessert next to a fireplace. It's smoky and slightly sooty. Gorgeous, honestly."
