Nejma 7

I recently purchased this fragrance and I am adoring it ! Firstly I must say that out of the whole Nejma line the no. 7 is the only one that appealed to me, the rest I found quiet horrible (apart from no. 6, which is basically a softer and fruitier version of no. 7 in my opinion) and I am normally very open minded and like a large range of fragrances. I do not know why no one has mentioned here but to me this smells like sweet almonds. It is literally the only thing I am getting and even throughout the day I get whiffs of sweet almonds. I am incredibly surprised to see that the top notes are citrus as I do not get any of that at all. Maybe it works completely differently on my body chemistry. It is a very comforting, warm, cozy scent. It is a gourmand, however definitely not cloying or overly sweet. Incredibly long lasting, which is why Nejma is worth the price for me. Now that the weather is turning colder I am enjoying it even more. I believe it is very well suited for a winter perfume. Personally I imagine it could get a little nauseating in the hot and humid weather as it quiet strong and sweet. Nonetheless I am truly loving this perfume. 2 sprays goes a long way ! The bottle design is also to die for !

Wow, really conflicting opinions on this gem. I have a 10ml decant of this that I am dreading hitting the bottom of because it is far and away one of my favorite summer scents. It's the scent I crave, the one that gets spritzed on when I'm sad or the weather is grey and crappy. Nejma 7 is different than anything else I own. It is sweet, without being sugary, rich without being suffocating. It's everything that shouldn't work in the summer but that is when she sings. On my skin Nejma is coconut, citrus, and beautiful oud. I don't get any cocoa at all I'm afraid. It's oud dipped in honey (though that isn't a note, perhaps the combination of mandarin and coconut create this illusion) dripping and succulent. I feel like royalty when I wear this, it feels like I should be wearing a crisp white dress, napping in the shade surrounded by the grounds of a palace garden thick with blossoms and buzzing with bees. It's rich and addicting. The fragrance lasts all day and a few sprays is all you need. I can't imagine that being a bad thing (who wants weak watery perfume???) but be gentle if you are an over sprayer.

People who voted Nejma 7 similar to Truth or Dare: please stop. Or check both fragrances again. It's like comparing McDonald's to a high end restaurant. Now, don't get me wrong, I like Truth or Dare but it is nothing like Nejma 7. I see the cocoa note could be what makes them somewhat similar but that's about it. The Oud in Nejma 7 is really amped up and natural, it is mouthwateringly juicy and sweetened by the creamiest coconut and fully ripe citrus. As much as gourmand it is, cocoa is not chocolatey, it is full flavor cacao beans, albeit subdued in the background, but everything is so well blended together and smooth, it is hard tell which note is the most prominent. It is a safe choice for those who fear the rubber-like harsh, sometimes medicinal oud, this oud is tame, cultured and wearable all year round. Leans slightly feminine in my opinion, but a man can absolutely pull this off too. Honestly I can't stop sniffing my arm when wearing this. If you like Tom Ford Noir or Noir Extreme, definitely check Nejma 7...

Nejma 7 is a very special fragance. It has the oriental vibe that we can find in Many other fragances with the oud and the patchouli but mixed with a very tropical and creamy character given by the coconut. The cocoa give ti the fragance some sweetness and the neroli and the citrus notes some freshness, very noticeable at the opening. The longevity is good and the sillage is moderate, with a medium projection for a long time. It is unisex although maybe It Will be liked more for women. This can be a nice oriental option for summer nights ir even for daytime. During the daytime on summer It is a bit sweet but i cant say still that It really wont work since the coconut and the neroli make me think of the beach and the Sun. Scent: 9 Longevity: 8 Sillage: 6 Quality/price: 5 Versatility: 7 Originality: 9 Global: 9

As much as the opening may be harsh, the drydown is to die for, believe me. The coconut has an immaculate feeling to it because of everything that supports it in the background. In the opening you get all the citruses mixed with coconut and cacao a little and after around half an hour you get to the deal. BOOM coconut, BOOM more coconut, BOOM coconut supported by patchouli, AND BOOM coconut with both patchouli and oud. Lovely, lovely, lovely. The performance dissapointed me, I can not lie. I expected more sillage but after around 2 hours with 6 sprays it turns into a skin scent. It stayed on my skin for around 6-7 hours which is good but with enough sillage, OH MY GOD WHAT WE COULD HAVE ACHIEVED! 8/10
