About This Perfume
Lattafa New York the City of Dreams smells like a brandy-spiked cherry cordial with woody spice and a dusting of rose powder. Boozy, fruity and a little old-world.
Black pepper, cherry and nutmeg open it dark and spiced. The heart is cognac with lily of the valley, mimosa and rose, boozy and powdery-floral at once. Cedarwood, labdanum, oakmoss and patchouli form the base, earthy and woody.
This 2026 release reads unisex and works day or night in spring, fall and winter. It suits casual days and, because it stays fairly close, the office too. Longevity is moderate, and it projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone who loves boozy cherry with a woody, mossy backbone.
- Sample first if: you are thinking of a blind buy. The community finds it divisive and rates it lower on blind-buy safety.
- Skip if: oakmoss and patchouli feel too earthy for you, or you want something fresh.
Around $35.

The Brand
Lattafa
Lattafa's 376-perfume catalogue on Scendira is by far the deepest and most community-vetted brand here: woody leads the accords (128 perfumes, 34%), followed by amber and sweet (95 each, 25%), vanilla (88), and fruity (87). Musk and vanilla are the most common individual notes, each in roughly half the catalogue. Gender lean is unisex-majority (65%), with feminine (22%) and masculine (14%) filling out the rest. Prices span $7.99 to $89.99, median $25.14, the widest and most budget-accessible range in this brand set, entry-level and prestige-tier bottles sit side by side under one name. Khamrah is the runaway most-discussed perfume, 2,272 community mentions, more than any other perfume on Scendira, well ahead of Asad (1,309) and Khamrah Qahwa (669).

Is Lattafa Right for You?
Best for: anyone who wants the deepest, most community-vetted catalogue on Scendira, 376 perfumes and by far the most total mentions, spanning woody, amber, sweet, and fruity profiles. Sample first if: you're buying at the top of the price range, Lattafa runs from $7.99 to $89.99, so entry-level and prestige-priced pieces sit under the same name. Skip if: you want a small, tightly-curated catalogue instead of hundreds of options. Arabiyat Sugar or Mamlakat Al Oud are far smaller and more focused.
Most-Discussed Lattafa Perfumes on Scendira
By community mentions across Scendira's data, the most-discussed Lattafa perfumes are Khamrah (2,272 mentions), Asad (1,309), Khamrah Qahwa (669), Yara (546), and Bade'e Al Oud Oud for Glory (459). Khamrah alone carries more community mentions than any other perfume on Scendira, brand or otherwise, making it the single clearest entry point into Lattafa or Arabic perfume generally. Each has its own page with real community sentiment and the honest downside.
Every Lattafa perfume here is catalogued from real notes, accords, and independent community sentiment. No paid placements.
