Khamrah Waha is Khamrah after somebody opened the window. The bergamot, yuzu, ginger, and juniper make the first spray brighter than the name suggests. The cucumber, sage, and sea salt give the middle a fresh mineral twist. The vanilla, tonka bean, musk, Akigalawood, and Ambrofix keep the drydown sweet, smooth, and connected to the family DNA. My score is 7.6 out of 10 as a source-calibrated baseline until Hope gives the final skin-wear score.

How this one moves
How it wears
Public performance data is early, but Parfumo has the scent sitting around a 7.5 longevity and 7.4 sillage signal, so I would expect moderate-to-good performance until I get Hope's measured hour marks. For the script, I would not claim exact hours yet: total longevity, projection longevity, and sillage longevity should be filled after a full wear because the strongest source data is rating-style, not hour-by-hour. Wearability is best for spring, summer evenings, warm-weather nights out, casual date nights, vacation dinners, and those days when I want sweetness without going full winter gourmand. It is gym-safe only at one light spray, because the vanilla, tonka bean, and woody amber sweetness can get too dense once body heat rises. In the collection, Waha sits beside original Khamrah as the fresher seasonal option; it does not replace true freshies, and it does not fully replace the cozy original. Value is one of the easiest arguments for Khamrah Waha because the tracker shows this as a Lattafa USA purchase, and the official UAE price is well below designer money. If you already like the Khamrah line and wanted a fresher twist, this is a logical flanker to test. If you wanted a clean aquatic with no sweetness, this may not be the safest blind buy. The value is strongest for somebody who wants sweet Khamrah DNA with more air, more salt, and more warm-weather flexibility. I would sample or spray it first if you are sensitive to sweet amber bases.
Who it is for
My final verdict is that Lattafa Khamrah Waha works because it does not pretend to be a completely different fragrance.

Parfums de Marly Percival
Parfums de Marly Percival is a clean, generic blue-fresh niche scent with okay longevity, but it does not feel exceptional enough to justify the money.

Top 50 Hottest Fragrances Right Now - 2026
If I had to sum up the market right now, I would say the hottest fragrances are not all trying to do the same thing anymore. The old blue-fragrance lane is still alive, but it is no longer the whole conversation. Sweet masculine gourmands, modern oud, skin scents, extrait versions, and value fragrances with real projection are all fighting for attention.
