Lattafa Khamrah vs Kilian Angel's Share

In recent years Khamrah has been the most common answer to the question of what to buy instead of Angels' Share. Both are warm, sweet and wintry, but the price difference between them is hard to compare with anything else in perfumery.

Angels' Share is in our range: raspberry, cognac and liqueur up top, tonka, Bulgarian rose and caramel in the heart, oak, praline, moss, sandalwood and vanilla in the base. The boozy note gives it a dry edge that sets it apart from ordinary sweet fragrances. Khamrah builds on cinnamon, dates, vanilla and tonka — its sweetness is fruitier and more direct, with no cognac and no oak. The similarity is real but superficial: for the first ten minutes they're close, after an hour they're not. Angels' Share costs €385 for 100 ml (€3.85/ml); a 5 ml decant is €41.99. We don't carry Khamrah; from our range, the closest on the sweet-spicy side is Lattafa Asad.

Do you carry Khamrah?

No. From the same house we have Lattafa Asad, which is also sweet and spicy but leans more towards tobacco and coffee than dates.

Is Khamrah really an Angels' Share dupe?

Only at first impression. Both are sweet and spicy, but Angels' Share has cognac, oak and praline, which Khamrah doesn't. After an hour they're two different fragrances.

Is it worth paying extra for Angels' Share?

If development over the hours matters to you, yes. If you're mainly after a warm, sweet scent for winter, the price difference is hard to justify.

Which is better for the office?

Neither especially — both are sweet and noticeable. With fewer sprays Angels' Share is a little more manageable, because it isn't as fruity-sweet.

What should I buy if I want an affordable sweet pick from you?

Fugazzi Vanilla Haze for creamy sweetness, or Lattafa Asad for a sweet-spicy Arabian direction. Both are much cheaper than Angels' Share.
