Lattafa is a fragrance house from the UAE that has become the biggest name in affordable dupes. Most of its perfumes cost $15 to $35, they usually last longer than Zara or drugstore alternatives, and many are clearly built to smell like a specific designer or niche fragrance.
The problem is that Lattafa rarely tells you which one. This guide matches the most popular Lattafa perfumes to the scents they copy, with our estimated match score for each.

The standouts
Lattafa Black Orchid: the closest Lattafa clone we track
At about 95%, this is one of the highest match scores on the whole site. It reproduces the dark, bold floral character of Tom Ford Black Orchid for $28 instead of $180.
Lattafa 1886: what is it a dupe of?
Lattafa 1886 is a dupe of Dior Homme Intense, the powdery iris and cocoa fragrance. Testers rate it about 92%, which is impressive because Dior Homme Intense is one of the harder scents to clone well.
Lattafa Asad: the Sauvage alternative
Asad is the most recommended budget alternative to Dior Sauvage. It nails the bright bergamot and pepper opening, and wearers report 10 to 12 hours of longevity, which is longer than the original.
Lattafa Ana Abiyedh Rouge: Baccarat Rouge 540 for $20
The cheapest serious Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe. It is a little blunter than the original, but at $20 against $325 it is the lowest-risk way to try the scent.
Lattafa Khamrah: the Kayali Vanilla 28 dupe
Warm vanilla, praline and spice. It shares Vanilla 28's cozy DNA with a bit more spice, and performs for 8 to 10 hours.
Lattafa 24 Carat White Gold: what is it a dupe of?
24 Carat White Gold is a dupe of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, the crisp citrus and apple summer scent, at about 80%.
Why Lattafa dupes last so long
Lattafa usually makes its perfumes at eau de parfum strength or higher, with heavy base notes like amber and musk. That is why many Lattafa scents outlast the designer originals they copy, especially compared with Zara and body-mist alternatives. The trade-off is that some openings feel louder or more synthetic in the first few minutes.
Lattafa perfumes that are looser matches
A few Lattafa scents get recommended as dupes but sit closer to "inspired by" than clone. Tharwah Gold (YSL Libre, 65%) is soapier and more masculine, Oud Mood (Montale Black Aoud, 65%) is a step removed, and Emaan (Versace Dylan Blue, 60%) reads as a generic fresh cologne.
