Lattafa is the most searched Arabian perfume house in the UK — and by a wide margin. In the last 28 days on Google Search Console, the four head queries (“lattafa perfumes”, “lattafa”, “lattafa perfume” and the common misspelling “lataffa”) drew 1,058 impressions between them. This guide covers the whole in-stock Lattafa range at Arabic Aura — 82 perfumes, from £12.99 to £44.99 — with honest notes on what each line actually smells like, what it costs, and which bottle to buy first.
The short answer: Lattafa Khamrah (£25.00) is the flagship — a warm, spiced date-cinnamon gourmand with a published 8–10 hours of wear. If you want the best value in the range, Qaed Al Fursan (£12.99) delivers a bold saffron-leather-oud character for the price of a takeaway. Every price in this guide is live as of 27 October 2026, every note comes from the product’s own page, and the ranking is by character, demand and value — not sales figures, which we do not publish.
What Lattafa is
Lattafa is a perfume house from the United Arab Emirates — a family-run company headquartered in Sharjah, its founder Shahid Ahmed told Gulf News. It is a manufacturer in its own right, not a reseller: it designs, blends and bottles an enormous catalogue spanning designer-inspired compositions and original Arabian creations, from the sweet tropical Yara to the smoky oud of Bade’e Al Oud.
The house’s reputation rests on a simple proposition: high oil concentrations, bold compositions, honest prices. While designer brands spend heavily on advertising and celebrity faces, Lattafa spends on the juice — and it shows in longevity. 8–10 hour wear is routine across the range: Khamrah, Asad and Qahwa all last a full working day and beyond. Most of the range sits between £12.99 and £29.99 for 100ml of eau de parfum, where a designer bottle of the same size typically costs £90–£250.
The trade-offs are real and worth stating plainly. Some openings can feel blunt for the first fifteen minutes before the dry-down settles. Sweetness runs high across much of the range — the house loves vanilla, praline and amber. And quality varies between lines, which is why this guide sticks to the proven bestsellers. Read our honest review of the brand for the full verdict, including where it falls short.
The 8 Lattafa perfumes to start with
1. Lattafa Khamrah — £25.00
The flagship, and the best first Lattafa. Khamrah is a warm, spiced date-cinnamon gourmand: cinnamon, saffron and walnut up top, dates and tonka bean in the heart, vanilla, tobacco and sandalwood in the base. The product page rates it very strong, typically 8–10 hours. It has earned genuine comparisons to Kilian’s Angels’ Share across the fragrance community, and it is the scent that made Lattafa famous in the UK. Buy Khamrah — £25.00
2. Lattafa Asad — £22.00
The best all-rounder. Asad opens with pink pepper, saffron and black pepper, moves into a lavender and cinnamon heart, and settles on amberwood, vanilla and tonka. The product page rates it very strong, typically 8–12 hours with excellent projection — the longest published wear in the Lattafa range.
It is Lattafa’s take on the intense, dark-masculine territory made famous by Dior Sauvage Elixir, widely discussed as one of the closest alternatives at a fraction of the price. Buy Asad — £22.00
3. Bade’e Al Oud Oud for Glory — £22.00
The longest-lasting Lattafa we stock. Oud for Glory is a dark, resinous oud-incense fragrance: saffron, nutmeg and lavender up top, a smoky oud heart, patchouli and warm woods in the base. The product page rates it very strong, typically 10–12+ hours with heavy projection — a genuine cold-weather statement scent.
It is heavily compared across the fragrance community to Initio’s cult niche release Oud for Greatness, at a fraction of the price. Buy Oud for Glory — £22.00
4. Lattafa Yara — £20.00
The best-known Lattafa women’s fragrance in the UK. Yara is a soft, powdery vanilla-floral: orchid, heliotrope and tangerine up top, a gourmand accord and tropical fruits in the heart, vanilla, musk and sandalwood in the base. The product page rates it moderate, typically 5–6 hours, close to skin. Fragrance communities consistently compare it to Sol de Janeiro’s Cheirosa ’62 body mist — gentle rather than candy-sweet. Buy Yara — £20.00
5. Lattafa Eclaire — £22.00
The everyday sweet perfume. Eclaire is a soft, milky-vanilla gourmand: bergamot and a milk accord up top, vanilla and iris in the heart, musk, caramel and sandalwood in the base. The product page rates it moderate, typically 5–7 hours, close to skin — the shortest wear in this top eight, and the most office-friendly.
It is the gentlest sweet scent Lattafa makes: clean and soft where Khamrah is built to fill a room. Buy Eclaire — £22.00
6. Ana Abiyedh Rouge — £22.00
The most complimented sweet scent in the range. Ana Abiyedh Rouge is a sweet, salty-ambergris composition: nashi pear, kumquat and bergamot up top, caramel, jasmine and cedar in the heart, musk, wood and ambergris in the base. The product page rates it moderate to strong, typically 6 hours, with good compliment-getting sillage.
It is one of the most-cited Baccarat Rouge 540 comparisons in the fragrance community — reviewers repeatedly describe it as landing within striking distance of the Maison Francis Kurkdjian original, especially in the dry-down. Buy Ana Abiyedh Rouge — £22.00
7. Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan — £12.99
The best value in the range, full stop. Qaed Al Fursan (“commander of the knights”) opens with sharp saffron and spice, moves into a leather-tobacco heart, and finishes on a warm oud-amber base. It is a bold, projection-heavy composition that punches well above its price point — 90ml for £12.99. It leans masculine, though the leather-oud base wears well on anyone. Buy Qaed Al Fursan — £12.99
8. Lattafa Fakhar — £20.00
The office-safe Lattafa. Fakhar opens with bergamot and pink pepper, moves into a geranium and lavender heart, and settles on ambroxan, patchouli and musk. The product page describes it as sharp, modern and clean rather than sweet or heavy, and rates it moderate to strong, typically 6–7 hours.
It is regularly compared in the UK fragrance community to Prada’s Luna Rossa Carbon — the same “smells expensive” freshness without the designer price tag. Buy Fakhar — £20.00
The collections, explained
Khamrah. The dessert line, and the house’s most famous family. The original Khamrah (£25.00, 8–10 hours) is joined by Qahwa (£25.00, 6–8 hours), which pushes the coffee accord forward over a date-praline heart, and Dukhan (£24.00, 6–8 hours), the darkest and most evening-oriented of the three, trading coffee sweetness for smoke, tobacco and a touch of oud. Our Khamrah notes guide covers all three in detail.
Asad. Five bottles built on one spicy-amber DNA. The original Asad (£22.00, 8–12 hours) is the boldest; Asad Elixir (£22.00, 8+ hours) is darker and more leathery, with a tobacco-leaf and cinnamon heart; Asad Bourbon (£24.00, 6–8 hours) is the sweetest, pushing the DNA towards boozy vanilla and cocoa; Asad Zanzibar (£16.99) is the most exotic and spice-forward, though its page publishes no individual note pyramid, so we describe it in the page’s own terms; Asad Blue (£18.99) is the freshest of the family. Our Asad collection guide compares all five, and the Asad vs Asad Bourbon comparison settles the most common choice between the two.
Eclaire. The gourmand dessert line in three parts: the original Eclaire (£22.00, 5–7 hours) is milky vanilla; Eclaire Banoffi (£19.99) is banana and toffee over a vanilla-musk base, the sweetest of the three; Eclaire Pistache (£19.99) is pistachio-cream and praline over musk-vanilla, the nuttiest and least sugary. Our Lattafa gourmand dessert line compared walks through the whole range side by side, and our best sweet perfumes guide ranks all three against the rest of the UK’s gourmands.
Yara. Four bottles, one vanilla-gourmand family. The original Yara (£20.00, 5–6 hours) is powdery vanilla-floral; Yara Candy (£18.00, 4–6 hours) pushes it further into fruity-sweet territory with strawberry and red berries over a musky vanilla base; Yara Tous (£20.00, 5–6 hours) breaks away entirely into bright tropical mango and coconut; Yara Elixir (£24.00, 6–8 hours) is the richest of the four, strawberry and caramel over marshmallow and praline.
Qaed Al Fursan. Three bottles, all £12.99, all 90ml. The base Qaed Al Fursan is the most classic, spice-and-leather version; Unlimited pushes further into bold, modern territory; Untamed leans into a rougher, more animalic character. All three are among the cheapest ways into oud-leather perfumery in the UK.
Ana Abiyedh. The white-bottle family, led by Rouge (£22.00, ~6 hours). The rest of the line sits at £14.49–£19.99 — Coral, I Am White and Scarlet at £14.49, Passion at £19.99, and the 60ml original at £14.99.
Hayaati. The original Hayaati (£13.99) is the softest fragrance in the family: sweet fruit and florals over a soft powdery heart and a warm musk base, with no individual notes published on its page. Hayaati Black (£14.99) is darker and more intense, in the page’s own words.
Nebras. Nebras Elixir (£22.99, was £44.99) is a warm vanilla skin scent built around soft musk and amber, designed to sit close to the skin rather than project loudly — a comforting, cosy fragrance for everyday wear in cooler months. No individual notes are published on its page.
Mayar. Mayar Natural Intense (£17.99, was £39.99) is a fresh aquatic scent for women — crisp, clean and easy to wear year-round, aimed at women who prefer clean, everyday scents over heavy orientals. Mayar Cherry Intense (£19.99) sits alongside it in the range.
Teriaq. Teriaq Intense (£39.99) is the booziest Lattafa we stock: plum and a rum accord over a cinnamon and tobacco heart, settling on vanilla, amber and musk. The product page rates it very strong, typically 8+ hours.
Fakhar. Beyond the original Fakhar (£20.00, 6–7 hours), the line includes Fakhar Extrait (£16.99) and Fakhar for Women (£19.99), plus Fakhar Platin (£19.99) — the fresh, aromatic-woody end of the house.
Bade’e Al Oud. The oud line, led by Oud for Glory (£22.00, 10–12+ hours). Sublime (£22.49) and Honor & Glory (£22.49) sit alongside it, with Amethyst (£19.99) as the most affordable entry.
Lattafa Pride. The premium-leaning line, with more elaborate bottles and packaging, priced £24.99–£34.99. The standout is Ansaam Gold (£24.99), a sweet marshmallow-vanilla gourmand — orange blossom over a fluffy marshmallow heart and a rich vanilla-musk base — built in the spirit of Kilian’s Love Don’t Be Shy. The rest of the line includes Art of Nature II (£24.99), Al Qiam (£24.99), Eternal Oud (£27.99), Ishq Al Shuyukh Silver (£27.99), King of Arabia (£34.99) and Eternal Vanille (£34.99).
Best Lattafa by occasion
For the office: Fakhar (£20.00) is the safest pick — fresh, aromatic-woody, 6–7 hours. Eclaire (£22.00) is the next best option: soft, milky vanilla, close to the skin at 5–7 hours. Mayar Natural Intense (£17.99) is the freshest choice, and Yara (£20.00) works for a softer, powdery office scent. Keep it to two sprays.
For evenings and date nights: Khamrah (£25.00) is the first choice — warm, spiced, 8–10 hours. Asad (£22.00) is the bolder alternative, and Asad Elixir (£22.00) the darkest. Ana Abiyedh Rouge (£22.00) is the sweetest evening pick, and Teriaq Intense (£39.99) the booziest.
For winter: Oud for Glory (£22.00) is the strongest cold-weather Lattafa we stock at 10–12+ hours. Khamrah Dukhan (£24.00) is the smoky winter alternative, and Khamrah Qahwa (£25.00) the coffee-darkened one. Qaed Al Fursan (£12.99) is the budget winter bottle — saffron, leather and oud for the price of a takeaway.
For gifting: Yara Candy (£18.00) is the playful pick, Hayaati (£13.99) the gentle one, and the Qaed Al Fursan trio (all £12.99) the best-value gift set of three. For a more premium gift, Ansaam Gold (£24.99) or Nebras Elixir (£22.99, was £44.99) feel far more expensive than they are.
For a first Lattafa: Najdia (£12.99) is the cheapest way in — a simple, wearable spiced floral-amber, unisex, described on its own page as a good starter fragrance. Qaed Al Fursan (£12.99) is the bolder first buy, and Hayaati (£13.99) the softest. All three cost less than a designer discovery set.
Lattafa by budget
Under £15: Najdia (£12.99), Qaed Al Fursan, Unlimited and Untamed (all £12.99), Hayaati (£13.99), Opulent Oud (£13.99), Ana Abiyedh Coral, I Am White and Scarlet (all £14.49), Hayaati Black (£14.99), Mohra Silky Rose (£14.99), Opulent Dubai (£14.99) and the Ana Abiyedh 60ml (£14.99). Thirteen bottles under £15 — the deepest budget bench of any house we stock.
£15–£25: this is where most of the range lives — Asad (£22.00), Asad Elixir (£22.00), Asad Bourbon (£24.00), Asad Zanzibar (£16.99), Eclaire (£22.00), Eclaire Banoffi and Pistache (£19.99 each), Yara (£20.00), Yara Candy (£18.00), Yara Tous (£20.00), Yara Elixir (£24.00), Fakhar (£20.00), Oud for Glory (£22.00), Ana Abiyedh Rouge (£22.00), Nebras Elixir (£22.99, was £44.99), Mayar Natural Intense (£17.99, was £39.99), Ansaam Gold (£24.99), Khamrah Dukhan (£24.00) and Khamrah Qahwa (£25.00). The flagship Khamrah (£25.00) and both of its flankers, plus Asad and Oud for Glory, all sit at £25 or less.
Over £25: Teriaq Intense (£39.99), Khamrah Waha (£39.99), the Pride line from £24.99 to £34.99, Musamam (£29.99), Emeer (£29.99) and His Confession (£44.99), the priciest Lattafa in stock. Our best perfumes under £50 guide ranks the whole range by price if you want to browse wider.

Every bottle at Arabic Aura is 100% authentic, sourced directly from authorised distributors, with free UK delivery and a 14-day returns policy — so if your first pick is not right, you can exchange it.
How to buy genuine Lattafa in the UK
Lattafa’s popularity attracts counterfeits, so buy from a UK seller with verifiable stock. Check that the seller states where its stock comes from, that the box and bottle batch codes match, and that there is a real returns policy — Arabic Aura offers 14-day returns on every Lattafa bottle.
Read our how to spot fake Lattafa perfume guide before buying from an unfamiliar seller, and our who owns Lattafa page for the background on the house. If a listing offers a popular Lattafa far below the prices in this guide from an unverified seller, treat it as a warning sign, not a bargain.
EDP vs Extrait: what Lattafa actually sells
Lattafa works almost entirely in two concentrations: eau de parfum (EDP) and extrait de parfum. EDP is typically 15–20% fragrance oil; extrait is higher, usually 20% and above. That single fact explains most of Lattafa’s reputation for longevity: a Lattafa EDP carries roughly twice the fragrance oil of a typical designer eau de toilette (usually 5–15%), so it lasts longer and projects further.
Extrait goes further still — richer, closer-wearing, and often better on skin than on a paper strip, because the extra oil needs body heat to open up. If a Lattafa scent feels strong on first spray, that is the concentration doing its job, not a fault — use fewer sprays, not a different brand.
Ard Al Zaafaran: the sister house in Lattafa’s group
One name on Lattafa shelves causes confusion because it is not explained in the collections section above: Ard Al Zaafaran. It is a sister house within the same group, producing its own scents with the same Dubai roots — including the smaller 50ml Yara, which is the same fragrance in a handbag size.
Ard Al Zaafaran bottles are not a different brand competing with Lattafa, and they are not lower quality for being smaller or cheaper: they are the group’s way of offering the same house character in different formats. If you see the name on a bottle, read it as Lattafa’s sibling, not a stranger.
Frequently asked questions
Which Lattafa perfume is the best?
Khamrah (£25.00) is the most universally praised — 8–10 hour longevity, rich spiced-vanilla character, and the flagship of the range. Asad (£22.00) is the best all-rounder, Yara (£20.00) the best sweet daytime scent, and Oud for Glory (£22.00) the longest-lasting at 10–12+ hours.
How long do Lattafa perfumes last?
The figures below are the ones published on each product’s own page. Khamrah lasts 8–10 hours, Asad 8–12 hours, Oud for Glory 10–12+ hours, Asad Elixir and Teriaq Intense 8+ hours, Asad Bourbon, Khamrah Qahwa and Dukhan 6–8 hours, Fakhar 6–7 hours, Yara 5–6 hours, Eclaire 5–7 hours, Yara Elixir 6–8 hours. Where no hours figure is published — Qaed Al Fursan, Hayaati, Nebras Elixir, Mayar Natural Intense — we describe longevity in words, not numbers.
Is Lattafa unisex?
Most of it. Khamrah, Eclaire, Yara, Qaed Al Fursan, Fakhar and Oud for Glory are all worn across genders, and several lines are explicitly unisex — Najdia and Ansaam Gold among them. Asad leans masculine and Yara leans feminine, but the house as a whole does not split neatly by gender.
Where is Lattafa from?
Lattafa is a perfume house from the United Arab Emirates — a family-run company headquartered in Sharjah, its founder Shahid Ahmed told Gulf News. It is a manufacturer in its own right, designing, blending and bottling its own catalogue.
Is Lattafa a good brand?
Yes — for the price, it is the best-value Arabian house in the UK. Its best scents match designer quality on smell and beat most designers on longevity, at £12.99–£25.00 for 100ml. Quality varies between lines, so stick to the proven bestsellers in this guide. Read our honest review for the full verdict.
What is the cheapest Lattafa perfume?
Najdia and the Qaed Al Fursan trio — Najdia, Qaed Al Fursan, Unlimited and Untamed — all at £12.99. Hayaati and Opulent Oud at £13.99 are the next cheapest. All are in stock now with free UK delivery.
What is Ard Al Zaafaran?
A sister house within the Lattafa group, producing its own scents from the same Dubai roots — including the 50ml Yara. Same house character, different label, often smaller formats.
Does Lattafa use real oud?
At these prices, the oud character in Lattafa perfumes comes from oud accords — blended woods, resins and aroma materials that recreate the smoky, woody effect of natural oud oil. Natural oud oil, from the agarwood tree, is one of the most expensive raw materials in perfumery and could never appear in a £22 bottle. The accord approach is standard practice across the industry at this price.
Which Lattafa lasts the longest?
Bade’e Al Oud Oud for Glory, at a published 10–12+ hours — the longest figure anywhere in the Lattafa range. Asad follows at 8–12 hours, then Khamrah at 8–10 hours. Our longest-lasting men’s perfumes guide ranks them against the other houses we stock.
The short version
If you buy one, buy Lattafa Khamrah (£25.00): the benchmark, 8–10 hours, the scent that made the house famous. If you want the longest-lasting Lattafa, buy Oud for Glory (£22.00) at 10–12+ hours. If you want the best value, buy Qaed Al Fursan (£12.99). And if you want the sweetest everyday Lattafa, buy Yara (£20.00) or Eclaire (£22.00).
All 82 are in stock now with free standard UK delivery and 14-day returns; prices are as of 27 October 2026, so check the product page before you buy.
