The best Black Sugar dupe
Lattafa Khurafi, $25
74% match · save $15
Why Khurafi works as a Black Sugar dupe
Black Sugar is built around Vanilla, Licorice, Oud. Lattafa's Khurafi shares its most recognisable notes, Vanilla, Oud, Incense, which is why it earns a 74% shared-note match, at $25 instead of $40. A dupe shares key notes; it isn't identical, and the dry-down and longevity can differ. But for the signature everyone notices, that match is what counts.
Where Khurafi differs from Black Sugar
The match is on the shared heart, Vanilla, Oud, Incense, which is the part most people actually recognise. Beyond that, Khurafi doesn't carry Black Sugar's Licorice and Raspberry, so expect those accents to read softer or go missing, especially in the dry-down. If Licorice and Raspberry are the part of Black Sugar you love most, this dupe gets you close rather than all the way, so smell it on skin before you commit.
