Lattafa Dupes List: Which Designer Perfume Is It a Dupe Of?

Many of the Arab-house perfumes people search for are consistently compared to one designer or niche scent: Lattafa Khamrah to Kilian's Angels' Share, Asad to Dior's Sauvage Elixir, Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man to Creed Aventus. The table below covers 30 of them from Lattafa, Maison Alhambra, French Avenue, Afnan, Armaf, Rasasi and Al Haramain, and keeps only comparisons that come up again and again in Fragrantica reviews. Where Gloria makes a perfume inspired by the same original, such as Majestic (AED 105) for Aventus, we point you to it.

How we built this list

The comparisons in this list come from the people who wear these perfumes, not from the brands. To separate a real pattern from one person's opinion, we read each perfume's Fragrantica page and counted how many reviews named the same original.

A perfume made the list only when one comparison clearly led. On Armaf's Ventana Pour Homme, for example, roughly three in four reviews mention Dior's Sauvage; on Al Haramain's L'Aventure, more than half mention Creed Aventus. Where reviewers pointed in several directions, as with Lattafa Yara or Asad Bourbon, we left the perfume out of the table and explain why in the questions at the end.

Two cautions. A comparison describes a family resemblance, not a promise that two perfumes smell alike on your skin. And "compared to" is not the same as "copied from": some pairs were released in an order that rules that out, as the notes below show.

Lattafa, Maison Alhambra, French Avenue and more: the dupes list

Launch years are Fragrantica's. A dash means Fragrantica does not list one.

What the list tells you

A handful of originals attract most of the attention. Baccarat Rouge 540 is named for four perfumes here, Creed Aventus and Angels' Share for three each, and Louis Vuitton's Imagination for two. If you like one of those originals, you have several Arab-house takes to choose from, and they are not interchangeable.

Look at the notes, not just the name. Khamrah is compared to Angels' Share, yet Fragrantica lists dates, tuberose and myrrh in it, none of which appear in Kilian's pyramid. Oud for Glory, by contrast, lists the same saffron, nutmeg, lavender, oud, patchouli and musk outline as Oud for Greatness. The comparison is real in both cases; the distance from the original is not the same.

Some comparisons cannot be copies. Afnan's Supremacy Silver (2013) came out two years before Armaf's Club de Nuit Intense Man (2015), and Rasasi's Hawas (2015) a year before Invictus Aqua (2016). Wearers compare them because they sit in the same family, not because one followed the other.

Finally, check the version. Ventana is usually compared to the Sauvage eau de toilette, while Asad is compared to Sauvage Elixir, a warmer, spicier scent built on cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Our Sauvage EDT vs EDP vs Elixir comparison explains the gap.

Where a Gloria perfume shares the same inspiration

Gloria's perfumes are not versions of the Arab-house perfumes in the table. But fourteen of the originals they are compared to are also the inspiration for a Gloria eau de parfum, so if you like the family, here is the Gloria route to the same starting point, with an honest reason to pass.

One more worth knowing: Lattafa Yara is not in the table because no single designer comparison dominates its reviews. It has become a reference point of its own, and Gloria's Yara Bloom (AED 90) takes Yara itself as its inspiration.

Arab house or Gloria: which should you buy?

If you already own an Arab-house version and love it, keep wearing it. Several of the scents in the table are well-made perfumes in their own right, not just stand-ins, and a second bottle in the same style will add little to your shelf.

Consider Gloria if you prefer a 50 ml eau de parfum, if you want the inspiration stated openly, or if you like having a dupe page that sets out what the Gloria version shares with the original before you order. The Gloria perfumes above are inspired by the originals; they are not copies of them, and apart from Yara Bloom they are not based on Arab-house perfumes at all.

Wearing it from Abu Dhabi to Fujairah

The air is not the same across the seven emirates. Summer humidity on the coast in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain makes a scent feel louder, so fewer sprays go further there, while the cooler mountain air around Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah and the Hajar mountains in Fujairah lets richer notes open more slowly. Wherever you are, delivery is free on every order and cash on delivery is available in all seven emirates.

Questions people ask

What is Lattafa Khamrah a dupe of?

Khamrah is most often compared to Kilian's Angels' Share. Both are warm, sweet and spiced; Khamrah adds dates, tuberose and myrrh, so it is its own take on the idea.

What is Asad a dupe of?

Lattafa Asad is widely compared to Dior's Sauvage Elixir: roughly a third of its Fragrantica reviews name the Elixir specifically. It is not usually compared to the fresher Sauvage eau de toilette.

What is Asad Bourbon a dupe of?

There is no single answer. Reviewers compare it to Azzaro The Most Wanted, Valentino Born in Roma Intense and Armani Stronger With You Intensely, sometimes two of them in the same review, which is why it is not in the table.

Is Afnan 9pm Night Out a dupe?

Not clearly. Fragrantica's own review says 9 PM Night Out, released in 2026, is not trying to "lazily recycle a familiar DNA", and its notes include dragon fruit, cognac, toffee and suede. The original 9pm, from 2020, is the one compared to Ultra Male.

Which Club de Nuit is the Aventus one?

Club de Nuit Intense Man. Other Club de Nuit scents point elsewhere: Untold is compared to Baccarat Rouge 540, Woman to Coco Mademoiselle, and Sillage to Creed Silver Mountain Water.

Which Arab perfume is closest to Baccarat Rouge 540?

Four in the table are compared to it, and they take different routes. By listed notes, Armaf's Club de Nuit Untold follows the original most closely: Fragrantica gives it saffron and jasmine, amberwood and ambergris, then fir resin and cedar, which is the core of the Baccarat Rouge 540 pyramid. Al Haramain's Amber Oud Rouge is often compared to the Extrait instead, while Ana Abiyedh Rouge and Baroque Rouge 540 add pear and other fruit to the idea. Gloria's Scarlet lists the same six core notes, and our EDP vs Extrait comparison explains the two originals.

What is Fakhar Black a dupe of?

Lattafa Fakhar Black is most often compared to YSL's Y eau de parfum. Our YSL Y EDT vs EDP vs Le Parfum comparison shows how that original differs from its siblings.

Are Lattafa perfumes dupes?

Some are compared to designer scents, and many are not. Yara, for instance, has no dominant comparison and is now something people search to find alternatives to.

Whether you choose an Arab-house bottle or a Gloria one, you can try the Gloria side without leaving home: free delivery on every order across all seven emirates, cash on delivery, and orders usually arrive in 1–3 days.
