A Unique Coffee‑Spicy Gourmand Experience
Khamrah Qahwa unmistakably blends coffee with warm spices and sweet gourmand accords—cinnamon, cardamom, praline, candied fruits, vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin, and musk—to create an evocative aroma often likened to a chai‑latte or a boozy rum cake
Many users describe it as “so delicious I almost mistook it for a fancy coffee drink.
It opens with a bold coffee‑cinnamon burst, softens into praline and fruit sweetness in the heart, and then settles into a warm vanilla‑tonka base for a comforting, addictive dry‑down.
Boasts Exceptional Longevity & Projection
This fragrance is praised for its staying power. On skin, it can last well over 8 hours, and often lingers even longer on clothes. According to reviews:
-
“Lasts on clothes for days and even projects until the next day”
-
“Remained on clothes until the next day”.
ScentinVerses reported that it stayed noticeable on clothing into the next day—and still in the air around the wearer .
Performance scores on fragrance forums often approach or exceed 8 hours on skin, with strong projection and excellent sillage .
Refined Improvement Over the Original “Khamrah”
Fans of Lattafa’s original Khamrah often prefer Qahwa for its more polished profile. Many say Qahwa “fixes the flaws” of too‑sweet, date‑heavy Khamrah by introducing a balancing coffee‑cardamom twist .
One user said:
“Qahwa is by far better… no longer too sweet, projects better, lasts longer”
The coffee note gives a grounded complexity that makes Qahwa feel richer, more sophisticated, and more wearable year‑round.
Unisex Appeal with Rich Winter & Evening Vibes
Designed as a unisex fragrance, Khamrah Qahwa comfortably suits both masculine and feminine preferences. It leans slightly more masculine than the original but works beautifully on anyone who enjoys warm gourmands.
Reviewers recommend it especially for fall, winter, and evening wear—when that warm, coffee‑cinnamon signature really shines and feels luxurious and cozy .
Affordable Luxury with Elegant Presentation
Khamrah Qahwa offers high-end fragrance quality at a very accessible price point—often around $30 USD or under 7,000 Rs in Pakistan .
Despite its budget, it delivers performance and olfactory richness on par with much more expensive designer gourmands. As one reviewer summed it up:
“You cannot go wrong… the longevity given the price is incredible”.
Plus, its presentation—luxuriously packaged and elegant—makes it ideal as a gift or signature scent.
