Best for evenings and cold weather
Lattafa Asad
Asad opens with black pepper, pineapple and tobacco, moves into coffee, iris and patchouli, and settles on amber, vanilla, dry woods and labdanum. It is confident and warm, ideal for nights out and fall and winter.
Afnan 9pm
9pm blends apple, cinnamon, lavender and bergamot with orange blossom and lily of the valley over vanilla, tonka bean, amber and patchouli. Sweet, smooth and easy to like, it works for date nights, parties and cooler days.
Lattafa Khamrah
Technically unisex, Khamrah is loved by men for its cinnamon, dates and praline over a vanilla-amber base. If you like sweet, cozy scents, it is a must-try. Compare it with its coffee version in our Khamrah vs Khamrah Qahwa guide.
