Lattafa’s Rarest Releases: Thameen Shamoukh & La Collection D’Antiquités Explained

Three fragrances in Lattafa’s catalogue sit outside the usual Pride and mainline structure entirely — Shamoukh, from the small-batch Thameen Collection, and the two-piece “antiquities” pairing 1910 Bike and 1886 Car. None of these come up in the usual Lattafa conversations, largely because they’re framed differently: less about chasing a specific designer reference, more about presenting Lattafa’s own take on a boutique, collector-style release.

Shamoukh — Lattafa’s more exclusive tier

Shamoukh comes from the Thameen Collection — a smaller-batch, more exclusive tier within Lattafa’s range, presented in a 30ml format rather than the usual 100ml. The composition itself opens with warm spice, moves into a rich amber-floral heart, and finishes on a dense musk-oud base: opulent and concentrated. It’s aimed less at newcomers and more at people who already know Lattafa’s house style and want to try something positioned as more premium and boutique-feeling. At 30ml it’s also a lower-commitment way to sample the brand’s upper tier without the outlay of a full 100ml bottle.

La Collection D’antiquites — a two-piece vintage pairing

1910 “Bike” and 1886 “Car” form a deliberate pair within Lattafa Pride’s range, each one named after a vintage invention and built to contrast with the other.

1886 “Car” — formal and powdery

1886 “Car” is built in the spirit of Dior Homme Intense (2011) — fresh iris and bergamot opening into a powdery floral heart, finishing on rich vanilla-woods. It’s polished and refined, referencing a golden era of formal menswear, and suits anyone who wants a sophisticated, iris-forward signature scent for formal occasions.

1910 “Bike” — fresh and energetic

1910 “Bike” is the more dynamic half of the pair — energetic citrus and spice opening into an aromatic woody heart, finishing on smooth musk-amber. Where “Car” is formal and powdery, “Bike” is fresher and more casual, better suited to daytime wear.

Which One Should You Try?

If you want something formal for evenings and occasions: 1886 “Car”. If you want something fresher for daily, daytime wear: 1910 “Bike”. If you’re already a Lattafa regular and want to try the brand’s more exclusive, small-batch side: Shamoukh. All three sit apart from Lattafa’s more famous names — for those, see our Lattafa Perfumes UK: Complete Buyer’s Guide, or browse the full Lattafa Perfumes collection.
