The short answer: the best first Lattafa perfume is the one that matches a scent style you already enjoy. If you like sweet, spiced fragrances, start with Lattafa Khamrah. If you prefer something soft and creamy, look at Lattafa Yara. If you want something fresh and easy, try Rave Now or Ana Abiyedh.
Lattafa is a UAE-based fragrance house with a very large range, which can make a first purchase feel like guesswork. This guide narrows it down to seven approachable places to start if you want to buy Lattafa perfume in the UK. It is a starter list rather than a ranking, and scent preference is personal. For a wider overview of the range, see our guide to the best Lattafa perfumes in the UK.
How these seven were chosen
Each one has a style that is easy to describe, its notes are listed on our product page, and it is sold in a standard size. Nothing is here just because it is fashionable.

The seven in more detail
Lattafa Khamrah: warm and spiced
Khamrah combines cinnamon, nutmeg, dates, praline, vanilla, tonka bean and benzoin. It is a gourmand, meaning it smells sweet and edible, so if sweetness is not your thing, start elsewhere. Our Khamrah guide explains the notes and the wider Khamrah line.
Lattafa Yara: soft and creamy
Yara opens with tangerine, heliotrope and orchid and has a creamy, vanilla-tropical feel. It is listed as a women’s fragrance, although the style is simply soft and sweet. See what Lattafa Yara smells like for the whole family.
Lattafa Asad: pineapple, pepper and tobacco
Asad opens with pineapple and black pepper, with tobacco underneath, then coffee, patchouli and iris, over vanilla, amber, benzoin, dry wood and labdanum. It is listed for men. Our Lattafa Asad review goes into more detail.
Lattafa Fakhar: clean and aromatic
Fakhar is built around lavender, sage, geranium and juniper berries. It is a tidy, aromatic choice and is listed for men.
Lattafa Rave Now: fresh and fruity-woody
Rave Now pairs apple, bergamot, blackcurrant and pineapple with birch, jasmine, patchouli and rose, resting on ambergris, musk, oakmoss and vanilla.
Lattafa Ana Abiyedh: fresh, sweet and musky
Ana Abiyedh uses orange and bergamot with juicy pear and vanilla over a soft musk-amber base. This listing is the 60ml bottle, a smaller commitment for a first purchase.
Lattafa Najdia: fresh, then warm
Najdia starts with grapefruit and mandarin over rose, cinnamon and spice, then dries down to amber, leather and patchouli.
What to expect from your first bottle
- Start with one or two sprays and wear it for a full day before you decide.
- Give a fresh bottle time. Some fragrance fans say a newly made bottle can smell sharper at first and rest it sealed in a cool, dark place. That is common advice, not a guarantee; our maceration guide explains the idea.
- Buy sealed. Our bottles arrive sealed in original packaging. To know what to look for, read how to spot fake Lattafa.
