Lattafa
Lattafa batch codes, explained
Lattafa, from the United Arab Emirates, sells at a fraction of niche prices, and its codes look nothing like the European houses on this site. The one we hold is long, hyphenated and mostly numeric. Long is not the same as informative: without a published key there is no telling which part, if any, records when the bottle was filled.
We do not return a date for Lattafa. Enter a code and we will tell you exactly why, and what to check instead.
Where Lattafa prints the code
On the base of the bottle and on the box.
What the characters mean
On the bottle we hold, two letters and two digits, then a hyphen and seven digits. Lattafa publishes no date encoding.
Why we stop there:
No published encoding, and one code in hand is not enough to see which parts vary between bottles. A reading fitted to a single example would be a guess.
Lattafa batch code questions
Is Khamrah counterfeited, given how cheap it already is?
Yes. Fakes of inexpensive fragrances are common precisely because buyers check them less. Compare the box and bottle codes, look at the print quality and the fit of the cap, and be wary of a price well below the usual market.
What does the hyphen in a Lattafa code mean?
We do not know, and nobody outside the house has published it. It may separate a line or product reference from a running number, but that is a guess about one code, and we would rather say so than dress it up.
How well does Khamrah keep?
Well. It is built on dates, cinnamon, praline and vanilla over a resinous base — sweet, dense materials that are stable in the bottle. Heat and light matter far more to it than a year or two on the shelf.
Try Lattafa before you commit
Checking a batch code is usually a way of asking whether a bottle is worth the money. A Lattafa decant answers that on your own skin, poured from a bottle whose source we log — no marketplace gamble, no full-bottle regret.
