KHAMAH WAHA

The freshest chapter in Lattafa's hugely popular Khamrah line, created by perfumer Jordi Fernández. Where the original Khamrah is a warm, sweet, oud-and-spice gourmand, Waha takes the DNA in a completely different direction: aromatic, aquatic, and cool, with just enough of the signature warmth left in the base to tie it back to the family. It opens crisp and energetic with bergamot, yuzu, juniper, and a kick of ginger, bright and aromatic from the first spray. The heart is where it sets itself apart: a cool, watery cucumber-juice accord paired with sea salt, sage, and a touch of iris, creating a clean, mineralic, almost icy freshness that is unusual in this price range. It dries down into a warm, modern base of vanilla, tonka bean, musk, akigalawood, and Ambrofix, the ambergris-type molecule that gives the finish a soft, slightly salty, skin-close warmth.
