Khamrah Qahwa opens with warm cinnamon, cardamom and ginger, moving into a praline-and-candied-fruit heart, then settles into vanilla, coffee, tonka bean, benzoin and musk for a rich, cosy finish. Roughly 10,900 Fragrantica voters back that up: about eight in ten call it long lasting or better, and around seven in ten log a strong or bigger trail.
Khamrah Qahwa is a 2023 Oriental Vanilla from Lattafa Perfumes. It opens on cinnamon, cardamom and ginger — Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts warm spicy at 100% strength and sweet close behind at 88%. The heart brings praline, candied fruits and white flowers, softening the spice into something closer to dessert. The base is where the name earns itself: vanilla (81%) and coffee (61%) sit alongside tonka bean, benzoin and musk, with a touch of amber (52%) and powder (45%) underneath. "Qahwa" is Arabic for coffee, and the coffee accord is genuinely there in the base rather than just implied by the name.
The opening is warm and spiced rather than sharp — cinnamon and cardamom with a ginger bite, not unlike mulled spice. Within the first hour the praline and candied fruit heart takes over, rounding the spice out with a sugared warmth. The dry-down is where coffee and vanilla come forward properly, sitting on a musk-and-tonka base that reads dark, sweet and a little smoky rather than bright. Fragrantica voters lean strongly toward wearing it at night — 71% log it as an evening scent against 29% for daytime.
Of roughly 10,860 Fragrantica longevity votes, 59% rate Khamrah Qahwa's staying power as long lasting and a further 22% call it eternal — around 80% combined at long lasting or better, with only 2% finding it weak or very weak. Sillage tracks similarly strong: of roughly 10,680 votes, 58% describe its projection as strong and 15% as enormous, against 26% calling it moderate. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Lattafa markets Khamrah Qahwa without a strict gender line, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting agrees — unisex is the single largest bucket at 49% of roughly 11,200 votes, ahead of male-leaning at 33% and female or female-leaning combined at around 9%. Wear it if the warm spice-and-coffee character suits you, regardless of who it was marketed at.
The closest match according to Fragrantica's voters is Lattafa's own Khamrah, also carried by FG Perfumes — the two share the same warm spicy, vanilla-forward family, with Khamrah Qahwa adding the coffee and praline layer on top.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
Lattafa Perfumes started in Dubai in 1980, and the family who founded it still runs the company. Its name comes from the Arabic words for kindness and pleasantness. Lattafa perfumes range from sweet gourmands to bold ouds, at prices well below designer brands.
