Khamrah Waha

Bergamot, yuzu and ginger up top, cucumber and sea salt in the heart, and a vanilla and tonka base underneath.

Waha is the fresh one in the Khamrah line. The name means oasis, and the opening fits: bright citrus from bergamot and yuzu, with juniper and ginger for a bit of bite. Then the heart turns cool and watery. Cucumber and sea salt carry it, and iris and sage add a dry, herbal side.

An hour or two in, you can tell it is related to the original. Vanilla and tonka come through, softened by musk and a woody base of Akigalawood and Ambrofix. It is far lighter than Khamrah or Khamrah Qahwa, which is the whole idea.

Wear this one when it is hot out and the original feels like too much.

Questions people ask

Is Khamrah Waha authentic?
Yes. It comes from licensed U.S. fragrance distributors and ships factory-sealed in its retail box. Come smell it at our stall in the Patapsco Flea Market in Baltimore before you buy.

How long does Khamrah Waha last?
Six to eight hours on skin in most reviews, and longer on a shirt. The citrus burns off first, so the second half of the day is mostly vanilla and wood.
