Najdia

Here is my new review, just after 1 week from the first use (check my prev comment :p) I like it now! Can feel the lemongrass, and IDK why I'm also getting some black tea vibes on the dry down. It's fresh on the opening (first 1 hour) than it's getting warm and calming from the tea notes. For projection, it lasts 4-5 hours on my skin.

So so, nothing special from this Najdia. However, for the price (I got it for $14 - Prime Day Offer), I can't complaint.

It's ok , not that great but not bad ether

I love this one and find it to be very unisex. I tend to reach for it when I want to smell warm and fresh but not specifically feminine. The lavender and cinnamon keep it from being a typical masculine aquatic in my opinion, rounding out the scent and making it more wearable.

This is a very versatile fragrance, especially with the cinnamon and lavender notes. But I enjoy this one more in the warmer weather. The citrus and woods are a nice combo with that bubble gum undertone that give this it's mass appeal. For $18 CAD this is a compliment puller and deserves a spot on the shelf. Performance and projection are above average on my skin... 6-8 sprays (7.5/10)

Gifted to my boyfriend last month, and today, I made a couple of sprays just to layer it with my daytime scent. And it actually works for me! It's perfect for the summer season, because of its fresh, aquatic, citrusty vibe. I like the musky dry down too. I think a woman can rock this too. Moreover, it's really long-lasting!

Good smell with weak performance so spray it before hopping on the cardio machine or 1min before you start working out so it can last until you take a shower within 1:30-2 hours

At the start it smells amazing, fresh clean but not too soapy. I really like this. Then I wore it again a couple weeks later. Again, great start, but after about 1 hour, it turns. It becomes this stench sweat odor on me that I absolutely despise. Honestly it's not too expensive, but it's such an absolute waste for me!

It is ok. Better on the dry down. Reminds me of an expensive fresh laundry smell, right out the dryer without the heat. Synthetic at first until it macerates. Good for layering with something more expressive/ unique. A bit generic on its on.

Too much of that pink chewing gum for my taste, pass. People seem to like this though.

dont buy it just because it is cheap save some money and get yourself something good it not good at all

I bought this as a blind buy. On opening I can smell the lemon quite strong, and the musk and amber on the dry down. It is a very nice fragrance, but I would not describe it as unisex, I feel it is definitely leaning more towards males. I used it a few times before realising it is too manly and gave it away to a male who was happy to accept.

This is still a good option and an alternate to hawas OG

Very long lasting, lasts 12hrs+. The smell is very similar to Hawas OG but Hawas smells more fruitier/more plum. Najdia reminds me of a soap. Overall good perfume but weak atomizer/sprayer though. *Comes with a deodorant too. Very good value for money.

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.

Good daily reach frag, the opening is the best sweet bublegummy aquatic but mid to drydown this become really synthetic, still a good frag tho. I have 2021 batch and its very strong last for 8-10 hours

It's very good for the price I got it ($15) with a body spray. Opening reminds me of a sweet bubble-gummy pear, although it's not in the notes. Dry down is a pretty common aquatic scent, makes it an easy dumb reach. Generic but also mass appealing and although performance isn't the greatest with the body spray and the price it doesn't really matter. Edit: Don't get the pear any longer, simply just a sweet apple that mixes with marine-ish notes pretty decently. Kind of synthetic but so was Invictus when I tried it. Pretty long-lasting and strong for a marine fragrance.

This cologne is definitely not for me. The opening is decent, but once it dries down, the scent becomes way too harsh and stings my nose. It smells like many other generic, loud men's colognes out there. After a short while, the smell is just too sharp and aggressive on my skin. This one is a definite pass.

The perfect Invictus clone - cheap and perfectly inoffensive. Smells "nice" to an untrained nose, mass-appealing, but nothing to write home about. An easy post-shower reach, but nothing special. Better than paying full whack for Rabanne.

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.

Maaaaaan with my skin chemistry, the lemon, apple, wateriness shines brightly. It's going masculine as well on my skin. Love me some fresh crisp green apple scent. Last damn near all day as well. Damn good blind buy!

I had a bottle delivered that was leaking and you could smell incense oozing out with strong projection. I re-ordered and this one smelled like the description. It's unisex. It changes a lot over the months. Strong coconut for a month then changes into spicy citrus with a touch of wood. Smells cheaper when you first use. I was on the fence about selling it but it keeps macerating so I'm interested. It doesn't have an alcohol smell after a month. It's not my favorite profile but I would say it's a good quality especially for the price. There's a lot of depth in there.

I've had my bottle of this for about 3-4 years. To me it's invictus with a bit of a middle eastern twist, particularly in the opening. It's lasted so long because I usually lean towards more fresh fragrances, and this is quite sweet, but with fresh undertones. Also the atomiser is pressurised and sprays a fine mist, which I like as it helps the bottle to last longer, but I also find this fragrance to be quite strong so the mist helps distribute it more evenly and remind me to be conservative with the sprays. 7/10 overall for me, will buy again when I need a new bottle.

It is fresh, bubble gumy sweet, musky, green and out of the shower scent. # Initial projection - Beast mode upto 2 hours # Longevity - 8-9 hours with 15 -20 sprays as the atomiser is very weaker so need to overspray. It is best according to its price offered ($10-15). Its very close to Rasasi Hawas OG but its a bit synthetic at the opening but after 30 minutes it becomes too much similar in the air. I would recommand to buy rasasi hawas og if budget is not an issue otherwise its very playful, cheaper and blind buy thing. Overall rating - 7/10

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.

Doesn't perform as well as some of the other Lattafa's I have but it has a nice scent profile. Ladies love it so I'd wear it any day.

#21 Review of My Fragrances Collection Its a good aquatic, citrus and fresh fragrance and its a cheap fragrance i get it Rp200.000 (12 Dollar). Its nice fresh fragrance but the musky a little bit too strong i dont like that if the musky tone down it will be good fragrance for everyday scent and sport. Scent: 7.8/10 Longevity: 6.5/10 Projection: 6.5/10 Price Value: 8.5/10

Opens fresh and citrussy, very aquatic. Gets muskier as it dries down, but still keeps fresh. Warm/hot weather is best for this, needs heat. Projects strongly off my skin within the first 2 hours before settling into an arms' length scent. Lasts all day.

Mass appealing soapy sweet scent. synthetic but people won't notice that. very good price,The only downfalls are the longevity and poor projection

Loving the opening of my well macerated more than 2 year old bottle, projection & longevity is better now, good option for outdoor during summer
