Who is Lattafa Perfumes?
Founded in Dubai in 1982, Lattafa Perfumes has grown to become one of the world’s most beloved Arabian fragrance houses. With over 300 unique fragrances in their catalogue, Lattafa is known for translating the rich heritage of Arabian perfumery into accessible, modern compositions.
In Kenya, Lattafa has become synonymous with quality Arabic perfumery — their fragrances are worn by everyone from students to executives, and are popular gifts for birthdays, Eid, Christmas, and anniversaries.
Yara — The Bestseller That Changed Everything
Yara by Lattafa is arguably the most popular Arabian perfume currently in Kenya. A feminine oriental floral fragrance, Yara opens with sweet fruity notes before settling into a heart of rose and jasmine, with a warm musky base.
Why it works: Yara is versatile — it works for office, casual wear, evenings, and gifts. It’s sweet but not overwhelming, feminine but not exclusionary, and its 200ml body spray version at KSh 399 makes it one of the best-value fragrances on the Kenyan market.
Notes: Pear, Bergamot · Rose, Jasmine · Musk, Amber, Vanilla
Longevity: 6–8 hours (body spray) · 10–14 hours (EDP)

Asad — The King of the Jungle
Asad (meaning ‘Lion’ in Arabic) is Lattafa’s flagship masculine fragrance. It is a powerful, bold, and commanding scent that opens with a roar of tobacco, saffron, and leather before revealing a heart of rose and oud.
Asad is inspired by Creed’s Aventus and performs comparably in terms of longevity and sillage at a fraction of the price. It is the go-to recommendation for Kenyan men looking for a confident signature scent for work, evenings, and special occasions.
Notes: Saffron, Bergamot · Rose, Oud · Tobacco, Musk, Leather, Amber
Best for: Office, evenings, weddings, formal occasions
Khamrah — The Intoxicating Oriental
Khamrah is a rich, sweet, and deeply complex oriental fragrance. The name means ‘wine’ in Arabic, and the fragrance lives up to it — it opens with fruity sweetness, evolves into a heart of rose and oud, and dries down to a hypnotic vanilla and musk base.
Khamrah is one of the most unique fragrances in the Lattafa lineup — complex enough for fragrance connoisseurs yet approachable enough for everyday wear.
Notes: Cinnamon, Cardamom · Rose, Oud, Amber · Vanilla, Musk, Tonka Bean
Raghba — The Timeless Classic
Raghba is one of Lattafa’s most enduring fragrances. A warm, sweet oriental built around caramel, vanilla, and sandalwood, Raghba is the ultimate comfort scent. It is unisex in character but particularly beloved by women.
The Raghba Wood edition adds an extra layer of smokiness and depth for those who prefer a drier, more complex version.
Notes: Caramel, Vanilla · Sandalwood, Amber · Musk, Benzoin
Oud Mood — Pure Oud Experience
For those who want to experience the true essence of Arabian perfumery, Oud Mood delivers an authentic oud experience. Dark, woody, resinous, and slightly smoky, this fragrance is a statement-maker.
Oud Mood is ideal for evenings, special occasions, and anyone wanting to make a lasting impression.
