      Khamrah (2022) • LATTAFA🔺, ScentAdvice

      Seemingly (because of the bottle) a take on Kilian Angels’ Share, but it’s not a 1 of 1 copy of that DNA, if that’s what they were aiming for. It feels like 50% Angels’ Share and 50% something else.

      Khamrah opens a bit fruity, with a slightly different vibe. It’s not as fruity as the apple in Sora Dora Jany, but has more of the brighter and fruitier tones than Angels’ Share does. Overall, its perhaps a tad more ambery, but somewhat similar to Angels’ Share for sure initially. It’s a bit more accessible and I can also see the comparison to the Armani Stronger With You collection that people find in this.

      It doesn’t really hold up however. Within the hour there’s a fresher, brighter tinge that creeps in and Khamrah starts to deviate. It lacks the denseness and the scent becomes a bit airy. It has a distinct leathery tinge that becomes quite prominent on my skin, but more direct leather and less of the booze and smokiness that I get from the Kilian.

      To me Khamrah is essentially what I have found to be true for a lot of the Middle Eastern ‘dupes’ or cheaper alternatives: It definitely does a decent job, perhaps totally adequate for the average consumer, but it’s not 100% there. While you get great value for money, it doesn’t quite capture higher-end quality either. In the case of Khamrah, I liked the opening hour or two and found it to break down to be an average, but not noteworthy overall experience. Good performance mind you, but texture-wise it could be better and the generic/inexpensive smelling sweetness that is very prominent throughout leaves something to be desired. Still good value for money and comparable to for example a Stronger With You in my opinion.
