{"product_id":"khalid-perfume-80ml-edp-niche-emarati-lattafa","title":"Khalid Perfume 80ml EDP Niche Emarati Lattafa","description":"\u003cp\u003eKhalid means eternal in Arabic, and the fragrance that carries the name is built to feel exactly that, a dark, leathery, smoke-wreathed eau de parfum from Niche Emarati, the luxury collection within the Lattafa house. This is the range where Lattafa flexes its ambition, with weighty glass bottles, generous concentration and compositions that would sit comfortably beside perfumes costing several times the price. Khalid is arguably the boldest of them all, a fireside scent of leather, resins and oud that rewards anyone drawn to the deeper end of perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Scent Journey\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Opening\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKhalid announces itself with supple leather from the very first moment, laced with golden saffron and the sticky, ambery depth of labdanum. There is no soft introduction here. The effect is that of pushing open the door of an old library, all polished hide and warm resin, confident and unapologetically rich.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Heart\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe middle phase turns smokier and more rugged. Birch tar and cade oil bring a tarry, campfire darkness, whilst juniper adds a cool, gin-like snap and patchouli lays down its familiar earthy depth. This is the most atmospheric stretch of the fragrance, evoking woodsmoke curling from a cabin chimney on a cold evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Dry Down\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the base, genuine Arabian character takes over. Oud and agarwood settle in alongside benzoin and tolu balsam, their sweet resinous glow softening the smoke, while a final layer of leather runs beneath everything. The result is a long, slow fade of balsamic warmth that lingers on clothing well into the next day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFragrance Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather, saffron, labdanum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeart notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Birch, cade oil, patchouli, juniper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oud, benzoin, tolu balsam, leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLongevity and Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a heavyweight.
