Khazna Najmat Africa

The pear is very prominent on initial spray, and quickly becomes like second skin. Great for layering and for the price I don't feel guilty over spraying. Nice scent, just real soft.

So I’m a little disappointed right now. I wanted to love this due to what it was a dupe of and since that fragrance is being discontinued I’m already looking for a replacement. This is not that. It has a really weird note that smells cheap and kind of funky. I’m not really liking her right now. I’m gonna do the trick where you let it sit for several months and see if it changes because it actually does work whether people wanna believe it or not. I’ll come back and update in about four or five months see if it gets that stink out, but if not, I’ll probably declutter it.

I was hoping this would be like La Belle le Parfum. All the influencers talk about how juicy, sweet and vanillic this is, but they fail to mention that it’s quite green. Because of this, the perfume is very different and makes if feel more mature than I would have liked. Not sure I can even bring myself to wear it right now. It’s in a cupboard, so I’m hoping it will get better, otherwise it won’t be sticking around. Edit: nope! It’s very earthy and VERY powdery in the dry down, like an Avon perfume from the 80s. Just too old fashioned. 😩

I’ve had this for almost a year and when I first got it I really enjoyed the bright pear. However, a few months later it has turned into something that smells more masculine and the pear is hardly noticeable. It smells like sandalwood but that’s not a note so I’m unsure of what is causing it to smell woody and slightly bitter. This is reminiscent of the Kingdom by Lattafa, in that they both smelled really nice the first few weeks and then changed drastically 3 months in and now both smell like something from the men’s department.
