* Khamrah Dukhan = Khamrah all grown up
* Drier than the other flankers in the line
* Additional spice and smoke notes adds sophistication and class
* Great blend of lightly sweet, boozy, smoky, spicy, vanilla, amber, floral and light citrus and tobacco aromas
* Prominent notes of cognac, pepper, cinnamon, incense, vanilla, tobacco and orange peel
* Actually closer to Kilian Angels' Share than the original Khamrah
* Great for older male users
* Great for cooler season
* Great performer
* Not unisex
* Not good for younger users
* This is what original Khamrah should have been
* Redundant if you have Angels Share, Royal Blend or any similar clone
* Khamrah Qawha is a better and more original twist
Lattafa's Khamrah Dukhan is a flanker in their hit Khamrah line, which upon first release was the closest to Kilian's monster hit Angels' Share at the time. In turn, it became a runaway hit and people noticed that it was actually quite distinct from the fragrance it was supposedly cloning... and even liked it better. It was a stronger, sweeter more intense version. Which helped make original Khamrah a hit but also turned off those who dislike sweet fragrances. It was Angels' Share for younger users.
Fast forward and now we have Khamrah Dukhan and we get the exact opposite. This is easily the closest to actual Angels' Share in the entire line. It's drier, boozier, smokier and way spicier. The florals are much more prevalent with the sweetness dialed back. It's a great blend of lightly sweet, boozy, smoky, spicy, vanilla, amber, floral and light citrus and tobacco aromas. You'll get prominent notes of cognac, pepper, cinnamon, incense, vanilla, tobacco and orange peel. The sweetness is still there, but quite a bit lighter.
The overall end result is a sophisticated and classy take on the Khamrah formula... which we may as well just call Angels' Share because honestly this is as close as you're going to get to it. This said, there are now many clones on the market that have successfully replicated the formula to varying degrees. Royal Blend comes to my mind immediately, but there are many others. What this could have used was an additional note like leather or cacao that would have really separated this from the pack. As it stands, it is arguable that this is what original Khamrah should have been and vice versa.
This is great for older male users, performs strongly, and is great for cooler weather. It leans masculine and is not unisex, though certainly that shouldn't stop women from giving it a try. Presentation is great. Khamrah Qawha is overall better with its coffee note, but if you want something that's as close to Angels' Share which is still a fantastic fragrance DNA as you can get, this is one to buy. Highly recommended.
