If you live in Nigeria and haven’t gotten a full bottle of Lattafa’s Khamrah because of the current retail price, I give you Arabiyat Prestige Portrait.
This is marketed as yet another Killian’s Angel Share inspiration but it straight-up smells like Lattafa’s Khamrah which is disappointing as I really wanted a true Angel Share dupe.
The notes for Portrait are
TOP – Cinnamon, Lemon, Nut
HEART – Apple, Orange Blossom
BASE – Amber and Musk
Just like Lattafa’s Khamrah, Portrait opens sweet, boozy, powdery, nutty and creamy with chocolate, vanilla, dates, cinnamon and praline all in the mix at once.
One hour in, it dries down to a sweet, powdery, boozy, dates, vanilla, praline and musky scent.
It generally stays linear on my skin until say 6hrs in after which I only get sweet, fruity amber.
Ever since I got the body spray for Khamrah and subsequently a decant of it, I just knew that DNA wasn’t for me as it smells like a fusion of 3 perfumes in my collection which I don’t wear that often ’cause they are so not my vibe.
Arabiyat Prestige Portrait and Lattafa’s Khamrah are giving Mancera’s Instant Crush mixed with Initio’s Side Effect and Stronger With You Intensely by Giorgio Armani.
Every now and then I do see the appeal in this DNA but it’s not something I’m crazy about at all.
I generally tend to start enjoying this around the 4th hr. when it has stopped projecting heavily off my skin. That boozy, creamy, vanilla and amber drydown is so good.
Portrait delivers a decent projection of up to 3hrs with 10hrs longevity on skin.
Hopefully with proper maceration, this will improve fingers crossed.
Like I said before, if you can’t afford Lattafa’s Khamrah, just get this before the hype kicks in.
Price: N22,000/80ml
