A Guide To Lattafa Men's Perfume

Lattafa is one of the hottest brands currently.

If you’re looking for outstanding perfumes that offer amazing value for money, then you can’t overlook the UAE brand Lattafa. Currently dominating social media, and for very good reason, Lattafa offers perfumes at around $40—a price for which other brands would easily charge multiple times more. In this guide, I’ll share my opinions on the best Lattafa fragrances for men in 2024.

1. Asad

The better Dior – Elixir

Quick Facts:

Affordable, even for Lattafa
Long-lasting & potent
Suitable all-year around
Very versatile

Let’s dive straight into my most-worn Lattafa fragrance – Asad. Asad is absolutely fantastic. It’s hands down one of the most versatile perfumes available, earning me more compliments than perfumes that are 10 times more expensive (no joke!). Often compared to Dior Elixir , I find Asad to be more youthful and fresher, with a unique Cola vibe. Highly, highly recommended!

2. Maahir Legacy

It’s like an ice-cold Sprite

Le Mâle Le Perfume perfume by Jean Paul Gaultier

Quick Facts:

Summer only
Mint and Lime
Average to short longevity
Coolest bottle ever?

While Asad is certainly my most-worn Lattafa fragrance, Maahir Legacy takes the crown as my favorite! First of all, have you ever seen a bottle like this? Looks amazing, right? This is an absolute no-brainer. If you’re a fan of mint and lime and are searching for the best affordable summer fragrance, then go with Maahir Legacy. It reminds me of an ice-cold Sprite – perfect!

3. Khamrah

Sweet dreams are made of this

Quick Facts:

Sweet, sweeter, Khamrah
Literally lasts forever
Unisex
For the coldest days

The most hyped fragrance by Lattafa is, without a doubt, Khamrah. Why? Because it offers a truly unique scent while appealing to a wide audience. Khamrah is a 100% unisex perfume that is both very loud and very sweet. It reminds me of visiting a Belgian praline shop in Brussels – the moment you open the door and the aroma of chocolate, pralines, dates, and other sweet treats envelops you. Due to its sweetness, it’s best worn on really cold days to avoid becoming overpowering. If you prefer something a bit less sweet and more masculine, I recommend checking out the newly released flanker, Khramrah Qahwa.

4. Al Qiam Silver

Green grapefruit for summer

Quick Facts:

All about grapefruit
Summer
Average performance
Underrated

Al Qiam Silver might stand a bit in the shadow of its more popular perfume siblings, yet it remains an outstanding and severely underrated fragrance. Are you a fan of grapefruits? Do you appreciate green, herbal notes? Are you on the hunt for a new summer cologne? If you answered “yes” to all three questions, then Al Qiam Silver is the fragrance for you.

5. Oud for Glory

A true niche experience

Quick Facts:

True niche experience
Unique
Animalic
Good performance

If you’re looking to dip your toes into niche fragrances, then I would suggest checking out Oud for Glory. This fragrance features an animalic oud-saffron base, a fairly unique combination, especially among affordable perfumes. It’s said to be an affordable alternative to the much more expensive Oud for Greatness by Initio, and it definitely moves in the same direction. Who should try it? Anyone curious about what niche fragrances are all about and who isn’t afraid to stand out with a different and somewhat edgy scent.

6. Eternal Oud

For those special winter nights

Quick Facts:

Sweet Amber
Smells upscale
Winter
Rich and heavy scent

Eternal Oud is a dupe of the fantastic Grand Soir from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, available at a fraction of the price. When compared side by side, differences are detectable, yet Eternal Oud comes impressively close. Lattafa’s interpretation stands out as a commendable take on sweet and rich amber fragrances ideal for winter. It’s the kind of perfume that sets the tone for an important evening. If you’re a fan of sweet, dense scents, then give it a try. You won’t find anything similar in its price range.

7. Qimmah

A real disappointment

Quick Facts:

A wild cocktail of different scents
Sweet and generic
Strong
Unisex

Of course, not every creation can be a standout hit. Just as not every Michael Jackson song topped the charts, the same goes for a distinguished perfume house like Lattafa. Qimmah is the weakest fragrance on this list and a real letdown. I find it hard to even describe its scent. It’s merely sweet and generic – and strikingly artificial. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

8. Fakhar

A great alternative to Y from YSL

Quick Facts:

Fresh & sweet
Easy to wear
Versatile
Youthful and masculine

The market is flooded with perfumes featuring a fresh and sweet fragrance DNA, like Invictus, Y by YSL, and Montblanc Legend Spirit. Fakhar is Lattafa’s take on this popular scent profile. While it may not be groundbreaking, it smells really good and gets the job done. It’s a versatile, youthful fragrance that a man can wear daily at an affordable price. If you like the previously mentioned perfumes, then Fakhar is definitely worth a try.

Final Thoughts:

As mentioned in the introduction, Lattafa is currently one of the hottest brands on the market. But it’s not just their perfumes that are impressive—the packaging is equally amazing. Unboxing a Lattafa fragrance feels like you’re revealing a luxury item. What truly sets the brand apart is its ability to offer high-quality scents that can rival those of niche brands, all for a fraction of the price. Few brands can match Lattafa’s value for money ratio. Thumbs up!
