Najdia

I am intrigued by Najdia. I have been eager to try a fresh and ozonic perfume by any chance, given the tropical climate and heatwaves here. Hence, I decided to purchase a 5 ml decant of it. Finally, I instantly fell in love with the first sniff. Its scent immediately evoked a sensation of being in an empty yet bright space shrouded in clouds. The fragrance was so fresh, as if there was no need for bathing or doing laundry anymore. After that, I planned to purchase a full bottle. A week into the journey, the package arrived. I opened the package, and on the box it said: deodorant inside. True enough, there were two products, a bottle of Najdia and a bottle of Sheikh Shuyukh Luxe deodorant. I immediately pressed the sprayer with my thumb, and the smell was not unfamiliar. After a few sprays, I suddenly realized that I had tricked my own mind. The scent of Najdia from this full bottle was not the same as the decant Najdia scent I liked; it was just the smell of pure alcohol! Smells like a bug repellent spray. I can't even make a difference between alcohol and lavender anymore. I took the action as advised by my friend who is knowledgeable in the world of perfumes, which was to let this perfume abandoned for a full 2 weeks in a room away from sunlight. However, the result was nil, even after more than a month of letting it sit. However, here's the twist, I bought this bottle of Najdia from a pre-loved source. The moral of the story: next time you want to buy pre-loved items, make sure to inquire about the reason for selling them beforehand.

This is a fresh, sweet and aquatic scent that dries down to pleasant woody notes. The opening is a little harsh with the citrus, but this quickly settles into a lovely blend of green notes. To my nose, this leaves a delicious trail of leafy herbs and aquatic apples. The drydown is also pleasant as the woody musk and sandalwood stands out the most. It would make an excellent spring and summer fragrance. I absolutely adore this scent. Totally mouth-watering and irresistable if you like fresh fragrances! It might be perhaps be a bit too cloying in an office setting as the projection is huge. I initially was slightly disappointed because it seemed to me that it was closer to an intimate skin scent up to moderate, but my partner let me know that it filled up an entire room (note: a 10 square meter room). And despite having dry skin, this fragrance stayed on for longer than I expected. The sillage was strongly projected for around three to four hours until it shifted to being moderate for another hour. It's a pleasant skin scent for several hours after this as well. On clothes this stays on for days! Highly recommend! 8.5/10 Update: Still a love at first sniff, but I sadly get rashes on my skin where it also itches. I wanted to try it out to test if I would get a reaction since it does contain one ingredient I'm sensitive to (thankfully not airborne, though.) It's with a deep sense of sadness that I need to give this beautiful creation away.

I had a bottle of Invictus sent by one of those subscription services, and I enjoyed every spray of it. I also purchased a bottle of Ultraviolet by PR and have enjoyed it with each use. As these are super popular, I won’t describe them for this review. Najdia is what happens when Invictus and Ultraviolet come together at a 90/10 split. The 10% being that lovely, and expected purple-ish “bubblegum” characteristic of Ultraviolet. That is the one I connect with most in the latter stages of the dry down in Najdia. Until then though, this is absolutely a beast mode version of Invictus, with just enough sweetness to round out the volume that you’re signing up for with this one. Performance is amazing for the first 2 or 3 hours, you’ll be surrounded by an inoffensive cloud of cheerful aroma. It turns to great at about the 4 hour mark when I start to notice the soft legs reminding me of Ultraviolet that are taking their place in the accord, under the still fully fortissimo opening act. I can sleep overnight with a spray on the back of my hand and wake up able to still catch a whiff. Good, safe blind buy choice for any warmer weather day, office setting (4 sprays max!) or a night out for drinks and dancing. I’d say mostly males will lean into this juice. Females may have a more difficult time falling in love with it on themselves. 9/10 overall. Love this stuff.

La salida es (en orden) cítrica, dulce y acanelada (una canela aprentemente sintética muy "empolvada" que no sé ni si es una nota de canela o qué (digo canela porque así aparece en las notas que si no a saber lo que pongo). A medida que se va perdiendo el cítrico el resto de acordes se van transformando en una fiel representación de Invictus Acqua; que si no fuese por el exceso de dulzura (tanto en la salida como en el secado) y la otra nota rara que aprece al salir, serían muy parecidos. No dura (proyectando) poco pero tampoco mucho; si os echáis bastante a las dos horas os la seguirán notando sin problemas. La elegí porque vi en varios foros que se parecía a Invictus Acqua, y como ahora vale un pastizal que no me voy a gastar pues me compré Najdia. En lo único que se diferencian es que Acqua es más "chispeante", seca y amaderada(?) en toda su evolución. Pero por lo general si queréis recordar el flanker de Invictus comprad Najdia que no os vais a equivocar. Si en alguna página la veis por 15 euros después en los gastos de envío os cobran otros 10, así que no os fieis que os van a cobrar entre 25 y 30 en todas.

Never had/tried Invictus / Hawas, but man this is probably one of the best fragrances I have in my collection, and that's an understatement. 7 Sprays: 3 Back of Neck, 2 Shoulders (1R 1L), and 2 Inner Elbow (1R 1L). I've gotten more compliments from this than an actual original Creed Aventus. No joke. Sillage is good for 3-4 hours, and easily lasts 8 hours. Just last week, I sprayed at 8am before I left for work, finished work at 6pm, went to a pub for a few drinks with a client at around 8pm, and the waitress there complimented that I smelled good. I didn't reapply throughout that day and I was shocked, I didn't smell anything myself, but the waitress did, and that's 12 hours past initially spraying it on. This Najdia I bought came with a bottle of deodorant spray which I occasionally use at home. I'm definitely buying more of this. I have already gotten at least 6 compliments, and I've only used it for less than a month. Out of 2 years of using the Creed Aventus, I've only gotten a compliment twice. This is ridiculously good.

Whoever you are, what ever you are man woman non-binary or whatever, wherever you are, this is the fragranec for you. Not only does it cost 20 dollars, it is just better than the Invictus. With better projection reaching AT LEAST 4 feet, while it leaves a trail of aroma across halls and rooms for about 2 hours, as its projection lowers to about 2 feet after 3 to four hours of wear depending on the temperature and environment you are sourrounded with. And yes it is an invictus clone, but think of the Najdia Lattafa as more mature and manlier than the sweet youthful Invictus. I have recieved tons of compliments from girls, one of them being the girlfriend of my old love interest, oh God Bless her soul for loving how I smell and she does think it is a perfume that women could wear too. FANTASTIC!!! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! give this a try you will save 80 dollars when you buy this instead of Invictus!!!

Excellent bargain for the price. Smells much more expensive. And good performance. 3 - 4 sprays on my neck lasts over 8 hours. And also a versatile Swiss knife fragrance that can be worn any season. And to the people complaining that its cloying, use your COMMON SENSE. Obviously its going to be cloying if you use TOO MANY SPRAYS! The key is always to start with 3 sprays of any fragrance. And Wear it for a day and see if you need anymore sprays. Then when you wear it again add an extra spray. Repeat the process (i never go more than 5 sprays. Cos that sometimes makes me feel sickly.. 3 - 4 sprays is the sweet spot for me with Najdia) until you get the amount that works for you. Dont just start going trigger happy on your first use (then start complaining that the fragrance is cloying AFTER 😭😭) because if its cloying then its YOUR FAULT not the fragrance . GO EASY ON THE TRIGGER! 9/10

Found this with a body spray for like 13 bucks, pretty insane deal. Invictus/Hawas type of DNA for the smell. To those who say "synthetic smell" they may be right BUT keep in mind that 95% (or even more) of people that you meet are not fragrance professors, and most of them just gonna say that you smell nice. This is mostly for teenagers/middle age people who just want to smell fresh/soapy throughout the day and doesnt wanna pay 100+ bucks for one fragrance. Performance wise cant say much cause I just got it, but been pretty happy with it still with like 5-6ish hours and like 2 hours of a nice projection. I havent been into fragrances for long but this is one of my favourite DNA-s in case of the smell.

Got it for €14 and for that price its quite impressive! Has the bubblegummy sweetness from Invictus so I understand the comparisons but I feel the sweetness is a little tonned down, yet somehow more synthetic. It also has its own accords playing, there is a certain mature aspect to it which I really love and graces up the appeal of the juice, for me atleast. Performance is good for a freshie but it is definitely NOT a beast as some youtubers had hyped it to be. Longevity is 4-6 hours on skin and 8-10 hours on clothes, with moderate projection for the first 1.5 - 2 hours. It is an amazing fresh sweet and airy fragrance which is perfect for everyday use in summers, for the price its a steal!

It's fresh, long-lasting with me, I think it is about 8 hours, I use it when I go to work, and maybe I will try it at sports times. The first time I use it, Najdia makes me feel more comfortable in the hot weather in my country, it makes me want to go to the supermarket right away and buy a green apple and give it a bite right away. With a little sweet smell of amber in base notes, very lovely. I didn't feel spicy when I use Najdia. With this price for the summer perfumes, I think everyone can blind buy because it is not expensive, and it would be a safe choice when you don't know "what fragrance you should use today?", take Najdia and your problem would be solved right away.

You can't ask for a better Invictus Aqua alternative at such a low price. It's a more mature take on the DNA. It's less sweet, slightly spicy, and more aromatic, but still fresh and dense. I prefer it this way. It's a solid performer and smells pleasant to most people. I got it for USD10. Such a fragrance at this price has to get a 10/10. Edit: there's a flanker to this called "Oud Najdia" that's not listed on this website. There's no oud in it so don't worry, it's just in the name :) It's another take on the Invictus DNA. I find it better smelling than this as it's less green, and better blended. Same solid performance.

this is my 1st review here but out of all the perfumes i've ever had this is the cheapest most complimented one from both genders . it's the versatility in a bottle literally .all of that for almost 15 USD that's a freakin STEAL . the longevity is 8/10 / sillage is 6.5/10 for 8 sprays .but trust me go heavy on sprays you will be a beast mode Aromatic diffuser it won't cost you much . the entire 100ml is 15USD while 5ml of any niche fragrance is the same cost.it smells like Rasasi Hawas +aquatic ,woody notes. mine is 5/2024 patch. you will smell almost every note in the notes pyramid. finally 100% recommended

Initial impressions, It is fresh Little sharp opening Smells like expensive perfume and smells good atleast for initial hour or two. It is little linear, spicy fresh Can be worn all year around and it is versatile Comes with excellent packaging and bottle, package has hologram sticker for authenticity Package came with complimentary deodorant spray It is a bargain at $15, cannot go wrong with it And I have never smelled Invictus to make comparisons here Longevity is good, but performance is good for 1 hrs.. after that mellows down and stay low on skin. For quite sometime.. Drydown smells like musk.. HTH ...

I bought this one for my dad, and he liked it. I also liked it a lot. The opening is a bit bitter and woody for me, but the dry-down is magnificent. It's clean and fresh, and a very outdoorsy kind of fragrance. I think I enjoy perfumes with lavender notes because almost all the perfumes I recently purchased have lavender in them. It's very inoffensive and pleasing to the senses. A good few sprays lasted 7 hours on my skin (I spritzed it a bit on me). The projection is crazy on my dad, too. Overall, you can get this if you want an affordable, fresh woodsy fragrance and can get past the bitter opening.

After Tom Ford, Lattafa is my favourite perfume house. In Najdia they have produced yet another winner. This is a signature-scent-worthy fragrance, and one that can be worn all year round. Najdia is bright, sweet, fresh, uplifting and masculine. It is not simply good, this is top drawer stuff. And for only $20⭐ The Perfume Pyramid according to a Lattafa catalogue I have in my possession is as follows: Top Notes: Grapefruit, Mandarin. Heart Notes: Spicy Notes, Rose, Cinnamon. Base Notes: Amber, Leather, Patchouli, Woody Notes. Like the reviewer below, I will be getting a backup bottle or two😉😎

A delightfully fresh and subtly sweet aroma reminiscent of immaculately laundered linens—tailored for the discerning gentleman. This fragrance embodies the quintessential Italian style, exuding effortless sophistication and charm. Exceptionally versatile, it’s well-suited for virtually any occasion. I’d confidently award it a 9 out of 10. With a touch more projection or a broader scent trail, it could very well become a signature staple in one’s olfactory repertoire.

I've used Invictus, Invictus aqua, hawas,zara seol...all these are similar with a very little differences. Fact is, this one is way more cheaper and runs same as others in terms of performance. You wont be able to tell the difference in sillage and projection for all these. Lately every perfume house replicated the invictus DNA for its airy nature. This bottle will last a long time and it's a steal overall So this one is a must have . End of story

Sweet and fresh combined into this one. A nice fragrance that cheap and great for casual time. Some says it has great performance. But on my skin, it doesn't last very long, and the projection is around 3-4 hours. After that it goes to skin scent. Still this smells really great and definitely safe for blind buy. Not my type of fragrance I love to keep, but definitely very wearable especially in day time. This could be my gym or office scent.

This is one of the scents that are very friendly and at the same time distinctive. It is very strong, versatile, just perfect. I have not tested Invictus so I cannot compare that aspect. But I love it. And the fact that it comes with a deodorant and costs 12€. Get it today, there is nothing to regret. Everyone and your girlfriend will love it. One of the best fresh scents I have ever smelt as it has a personality.

Good stuff for real, bang for your buck. If you want an overall perfume that you can wear day and night, in and out, this is the way to go. Fresh, but with a great various, sweet hits all throughout the layers. Unique because its freshness fills up a room, while the sweet scent stays close to your skin. Would recommend to anyone but I try to gatekeep it since it is such a nice fragrance. Top tier.

This frag got me feeling fresh and clean, it is aquatic, powdery, green thus a great use for the summer. This frag has that depth into the scent making it not boring to use. I see myself using this at the gym, after a nice shower or for casual everyday use. Only problem i have with Najdia is its performance but for the price range, still a great pickup. Giving Najdia a solid 7/10

The citrus blended well with apple, bergamot, and cinnamon in the opening notes is wonderful. I also love the dry down because we can smell tobacco, sweet, and sandalwood very nicely. Perhaps a little bit of powdery notes makes this perfume considered for women by some users. In my opinion, it is still suitable for men. Anyway, the projection, sillage, and longevity are WEAK.

Smell is almost identical to Rasasi Hawas, just a little bit less bubblegummy and with an added green touch. Quality wise is not as good as the Rasasi fragrance but this cost 5€ in my country so i can't complain about that. Performances are not the best but for the price this is a bargain perfume and a majestic alternative to Hawas and Invictus, recommended.

Sweet, Aquatic-Oriental. Starts out like a sweet green tea scent, then the aquatic freshness and spices come through. Beautiful. Can lean feminine but I think lacks a dominant sweetness to do so completely. I do not get any alchol-syntheticness from this at all. Somehow Lataffa continues, despite the inexpensiveness, to make these scents smell high quality.

Beautiful scent, very easy to wear. great everyday scent and not harsh at all. very light yet maintains a good projection and longevity. Personally got 8 hours of this beauty on my skin. I would say it’s blind buy safe because the scent is nothing too special, smells like a basic masculine fragrance. Would recommend. 8/10.

Just got it... citrus on your face at first 20 seconds, and smells good after... sweet, woody, a touch aquatic giving it a fresh vibe to it... one spray on left wrist, scent is still there after 5 hours and after washing... Sillage is okay, not too strong or too weak... very2 versatile... Got it for 20$, worth every penny

The opening for this one is slightly off, definitely a bit synthetic. After just a minute or two though, it begins to smooth out into something kind of spicy yet cool. There's a slight creaminess of some sort that also tempers the subtle spice. Its quite lovely, and for the price it's an absolute steal.

This is a mass appealing, headache inducing, long lasting fragrance that is fresh and sweet and also versatile for any occasions. Pro tip: After the initial spray, keep it away for a minimum of at least 2+months. This thing lasts. The harsh synthetic opening will make you go noseblind without a doubt!

For a $17 fragrance this is really good. Fresh aromatic citrusy and it smells well blended and like it costs more. Good performance for an affordable freshy and in my opinion appropriate for an everyday signature scent all year round. A hidden gem so if you have this gatekeep it ;)

One of the best low priced gems I've ever purchased. I've had Najdia for about 8 months and it's gotten even better over time. Although it does have a slightly synthetic scent it is still really well blended and one of the best inspirations I've had.

I'ts a budget friendly alternative, similar to my Hawas Ice, I usually reach out for this whenever I just got out of the shower, It's very refreshing! It's projects 2-3 hours, then stays on my skin for about 8-10 hours.

The perfume is very good and mass appealing but, the only thing I would recommend is to macerate this perfume for at least 3 months and then this perfume almost doubles it's longevity and sillage

Really good. Lovely fresh sent with a touch of spice. Perfect for the summer/ autumn. Only cost me 13 quid for a 100ml and smells amazing for the price. Its a great starter summer sent. 8/10

I agree with someone who said it has Invictus DNA...yup. But smokier than it. When someone calls it a dupe of Invictus..yup. Worthed price and value of money. I enjoy its performance.

my favorite day to day scent, fresh, playfull and soooo nice to the nose of people around you. longevity is 5/10 and projection also not so strong (6/10). overall safe to blind buy

I don't know what happened to people taste, btw it is one of good scent with moderate lasting , Smell 8/10 Price 10/10 Lasting 8/10 projection 7/10 ... worth buying in this price

It's nice. But Hayaati mayleki is the same juice. Both are great and give you invictus. Spray it when you getbit and let it sit. That's when the magic happens and it grows

I absolutely love this fragrance. It's extremely cheap, smells amazing and lasts at least 8-10 hours on my skin. It is impossible for you to go wrong with this.

For a 15$ fragrance this is definetly a steal. To me personally it definetly doesn't smell like an alcohol blast or nothing. Smells way better than the price.

Gave mine away, it didn’t do the trick for me. Even after letting it sit, I kept going nose blind to the scent. I just couldn’t stand it!

I like this one better than Hawas. To me when I compare the 2 the Hawas smells more generic. Also like the dry down better on this one.

really good cheap summer scent great for everybody but some will find it a little synthetic but for me a bangg for a buck

blindbuy this the projection is so so but the longetivity is superbbb even after bath i still can smell it close to skin

The first impression was fresh, then fresh again, and then fresh again, that was all, suitable for tropical climates.

Long lasting with mild sillage but still agreat perfume more especially as it gets older

cost me 17 bucks nice and cheap from a trustworthy brand defo recommend

The perfume is wonderful, becoming truly delightful as it settles.

after 30 minutes, i really love the scent

I got Najdia a couple of weeks ago and I've worn it a few times. Why did I blind buy it? 1.) I've had great luck with Lattafa's cold weather stuff and I wanted to give a summer scent a try. 2.) Price. As always with Lattafa, Najdia isn't expensive. 3.) Reviewers tout this as an Invictus Aqua 2016 clone but without the bubble gum sweetness and more of a green vibe. 4.) Reviewers also rave about performance with 10 hour longevity and massive sillage. That's rare in a warm weather scent. So how does Najdia live up to the YouTube hype? First the good news. Well, it does have a kinda sorta similarity to Invictus Aqua 2016. But the sweetness is dialed back and there is more of a green vibe. I don't get the cinnamon, cardamom, or apple as distinct notes. But what I get overall is a more adult Invictus Aqua without the amped up bubblegum sweetness and more of a green vibe in the dry down. That's all good news to me. I'm not a fan of sweet fragrances, especially for hot weather. Now the bad news. I've worn Najdia 4 days at this point. The longevity and projection are moderate at best. This DOES NOT live up to the hype about performance. I was really hoping to find that rare high performance summer scent at a great price. But this ain't it. I get about 4 hours and projection for less than an hour. Is that a disaster? Not for me. This is inexpensive and I can always respray. And it will be very hard to overspray Najdia, even in high heat. So at the end of the day, this smells great (to me) and it has typical summer scent performance. If you want Invictus Aqua for adults at a cheap price, it's worth checking out. If you already own a half dozen summer aquatics you're happy with, you can probably pass this by. Side note: I love the bottle design. The see through skeleton of a decaying leaf is a pretty good indication of what's in the bottle, a green sophisticated crowd pleaser. It looks very classy in person.

For anyone wondering: Is this close to Hawas? Is this a dupe of Hawas? No it is not, this is a twist on the Invictus DNA, just like Hawas is but they do not smell the same. Are they redundant to own at the same time? If you just want ONE Invictus-like fragrance get the Hawas, that one is more pleasant than this one. With that out of the way, this fragrance, just like Hawas, is an inspired by version of Invictus, this opens up around 80-90% similar to current batches of Invictus with a sweeter sort of accord to it, but then it changes dramatically. It gets much leafier and more aromatic, and way more middle eastern. It becomes a middle eastern take on Invictus. It does smell pleasant, but smelling it is not an eye opening experience, its nice, even calming, because it has a tea-like quality to it, but it isnt the highest quality, its very synthetic smelling, a bit like a car air freshener, dont expect niche levels of quality here. But for what it is, it is really nice, and probably one of the best fragrances for its price point. This one, weirdly enough, I think is less summery than Hawas, Hawas is quite a bit fresher, this works in spring or temperatures under 25C. Performance compared to Hawas is about the same, not much different, but also I dont get monstrous performance with Hawas, around 6H, its fully matured, its a 7 month old bottle, no real changes. Conclusion: Not Hawas, it does remind of it, but in the same sense that Invictus Aqua or Legend remind of the OG. This and Hawas are similar and take the OG and add a middle eastern twist to it, but really they're different scents. I can only describe the scent of this like a sweet lemon drop, mixed with green tea. Also dont smell upclose to skin, up close its just an oudy spicy woody synthethic mess. Its supposed to be smelled in the air.
