Antique Brown vs Khamrah

The r/fragrance community holds Antique Brown in high regard as an affordable, warm woody fragrance with spice notes. However, its discontinuation is a significant disappointment, and finding suitable alternatives has proven difficult as recommended replacements often don't capture the same scent profile.

Khamrah Qahwa by Lattafa won Best Unisex at Fragrantica's 2024 Readers' Choice awards, indicating solid community appreciation. However, the fragrance receives minimal discussion in the r/fragrance subreddit itself, and its win is part of a broader community criticism about award lists being dominated by sweet and gourmand fragrances rather than more unique offerings.
