Khanjar (Niche Emarati) by Lattafa Eau de Parfum 85 ml

Eau de Parfum • Unisex • Spicy Woody Leather

Product Description

Khanjar (Niche Emarati) by Lattafa Eau de Parfum 85 ml is a bold spicy-woody leather fragrance launched in 2023. It blends warm oriental spices, soft florals and deep smoky woods to create a scent that feels dark, refined and distinctly Middle Eastern. 

The fragrance opens with nutmeg, ginger and pimento, delivering a warm, spicy kick. The heart introduces cashmeran, violet and patchouli, adding a smooth, slightly powdery and earthy depth. As it dries down, leather, incense, vetiver and musk create a smoky, woody and resinous finish that lingers on the skin. 

This scent is known for its spice-to-leather transition, evolving from a bright spicy opening into a dark, smoky and sophisticated base.

Inspired By / Alternative To

Khanjar by Lattafa is generally considered an original composition, not a direct clone.
