Khurafi delivers a rich, sweet gourmand experience with deep incense, woody, and smoky undertones. It is widely perceived as a close, wearable dupe to the discontinued Black Sugar, with a profile that leans into luxurious vanilla, chocolate, and caramel notes balanced by a subtle oud and smoky complexity. The fragrance opens with a bright, candied citrus and vanilla burst, evolving into a warm, sticky sweetness reminiscent of roasted marshmallows and dark chocolate. Its performance is exceptional in winter months, lasting well beyond 8 hours with strong projection initially and a lingering skin scent afterward. The sillage shifts from moderate to strong during the first few hours, making it ideal for cooler environments and longer wear sessions, especially at night. Though some find it too sweet or one-dimensional, those seeking a comforting, intimate gourmand with depth and versatility will find it deeply satisfying. The bottle design is praised for its elegant, minimalist apothecary look, though a few note the consistency issues in packaging.
