Khamrah Qahwa VS Khamrah OG
Do I need the Khamrah Qahwa if I already own the OG? And if I don't have either of them yet, which one should I get? I'm sure some people are asking themselves that right now.
I tested both and was surprised how similar they are.
To avoid any confusion, I'll call this one "Qahwa" for comparison and the OG I'll simply refer to as "Khamrah"
Qahwa has the cooler opening for my taste.
I immediately notice the cinnamon and cardamom and shortly afterwards the coffee.
Khamrah, on the other hand, starts more scratchy, somehow more synthetic with a kind of cinnamon, baked apple note that many still celebrate.
After the opening, both fragrances become more and more similar.
Qahwa is somehow less sweet and darker, probably due to the coffee.
Qahwa is also more pleasant to the nose as it is more balanced and rounded than Khamrah.
However, we are talking here about nuances that are almost imperceptible in the air.
You have to go to the place where you sprayed it with your nose to notice these small, subtle differences.
In the air I would say both are 95% similar, because the basic DNA of Khamrah is clearly present here.
In short, you can say Qahwa has the Khamrah DNA only with coffee, ginger & cardamom making it a little spicier.
The great cinnamony baked apple note
is more in the background here compared to Khamrah and therefore also slightly less sweet.
The performance is also quite similar.
However, I see small advantages with Qahwa.
I definitely notice it a little more in the first few hours.
But it doesn't perform that much better.
But my Khamrah has now had more time to mature, so I can imagine that the Qahwa could perform a lot better than the Khamrah in the future
Like the og, the fragrance is definitely unisex, and nothing has changed with the Qahwa.
A great fragrance for cold days.
Would I buy it?
At the moment I only have a sample and I have to say for almost 70 € I would pass.
The differences to Khamrah are simply not big enough to pay almost twice as much.
If you own Khamrah, you don't necessarily need Qahwa.
If you don't have either fragrance yet, I would recommend Qahwa.
But only if the price is right.
Then, given the price difference, Khamrah is still the better choice in my opinion.
