Lattafa Khamrah Waha

In this review
The Khamrah lineage from Lattafa has become a touchstone for contemporary gourmand enthusiasts, with the original Khamrah and its coffee-infused flanker Khamrah Qahwa earning devoted followings. Now, with the release of Khamrah Waha in 2026, the house takes a bold departure—trading the warm, spiced amber of its predecessors for a radiant aquatic-woody structure that still retains a creamy, gourmand heart. This is not merely a flanker; it is a reimagining of the Khamrah ethos through a lens of salt, citrus, and mineral freshness.
Perfumer Jordi Fernández, known for his ability to weave narrative into scent, has crafted a fragrance that feels both avant-garde and approachable. By pairing the sharpness of juniper and ginger with the soft, vegetal coolness of cucumber and iris, and grounding it with Akigalawood™ and Ambrofix™, Waha achieves a rare balance: it is simultaneously invigorating and comforting, aquatic and creamy. This review delves into the composition, performance, and context of Khamrah Waha, offering a comprehensive analysis for the discerning fragrance enthusiast.
Available as an Eau de Parfum at an accessible price point of $50 for 100ml, Waha positions itself as a versatile, high-quality option for those seeking a fresh yet gourmand scent. Its moderate sillage and projection make it suitable for both office and casual wear, while its longevity of 8–10 hours ensures it lasts through a full day. Below, we examine each facet of this intriguing release.
