Sublime is the black sheep of the Badee Al Oud range: where the others are dark and woody, this one is fruity and luminous.
— The opening is a crisp, juicy apple, backed by lychee and a light rose. That is what you remember.
— The heart brings plum and jasmine, which round off the fruit and give it body.
— The base brings back a little seriousness with moss, patchouli and vanilla.
It is fresh, clean, very consensual — some even find it has a luxury shower-gel quality, and that is not a criticism. It leans feminine despite the unisex label. Four to six hours of wear. Daytime, spring and summer.

Maahir Black Edition is the most strong-willed fragrance in the Lattafa catalogue. If you are looking for something consensual, this is not it — and that is precisely what makes it interesting.
— The opening is cutting: black pepper, pink pepper and saffron, dry and sharp from the very first second.
— The heart is dominated by cade oil, a juniper tar used for centuries in oriental perfumery, accompanied by labdanum, balsam and a tart rhubarb. That is where the impression of precious wood being burned comes from.
— The base sets in leather, cedar, guaiac wood, patchouli and moss: dark, dry, deeply woody.
This is a modern bakhoor fragrance, for anyone who likes noble smoke and burnt woods. Exceptional wear of ten to fifteen hours. Autumn and winter, evenings. Keep it for someone who already knows this register.

Qahwa means coffee in Arabic. That is exactly what Lattafa added to the original Khamrah recipe, and it changes everything.
— The opening is more spiced than its elder's: cinnamon, cardamom and ginger arrive together, with that small bite that wakes you up.
— The heart stays on praline and candied fruits, wrapped in white flowers.
— The base does the work: the vanilla and the tonka bean settle in, the benzoin brings the resin, and the coffee cuts through the sugar to stop it cloying.
It is often described as winter in a bottle. Warm-hearted, comforting, with a wear that easily passes ten hours. If you find the classic Khamrah too sweet, this is its more grown-up version.
