Actually, I just wanted to leave a statement about this, but somehow the scent is just too complex for that.
It is definitely very special, and I must admit that I found it extremely interesting right away, but I was still unsure about how I felt about it.
In the top notes, it definitely has fruity elements, but not exclusively. I perceive something that feels fresh, cool, and somewhat aldehyde-like, and also slightly ozonic, but without the often typical soapiness that comes with it. It might be most comparable to the impression of dew-fresh, cold morning air that someone brings in from outside.
PerfumeTok, Insta, YouTube, and the like describe this note in some cases as metallic, and I can at least partially understand what they mean, although I wouldn't necessarily describe it that way myself, if that makes sense.
This cool impression is only intense at the beginning; it fades over time but lingers for at least 20-40 minutes on me.
The (in my opinion, indefinable, but not very citrusy and tendentially tropical) fruity notes quickly give way to a pronounced jasmine note, while the rose is at best a supporting character. Jasmine lasts a long time, and the scent develops more and more into an ambered warm, woody direction, with vanilla becoming increasingly present over time, giving the fragrance a bit of softness and coziness.
Ajwad has gourmand undertones, but for me, it is still far from being a gourmand overall. Sweetness: present, but within limits. It conveys to me the distinct impression of viscous flower honey.
The stuff lasts really well on the skin and feels like it lasts forever on clothes. It envelops you with a truly beautiful, very noticeable sillage in the environment with just two sprays.
Overall, the fragrance smells really nice, especially once it has settled a bit, and also a bit special. I don't perceive any real similarity to Delina; one could perhaps speak of a similar vibe, but the scent is, at least to my nose, completely different. Roses Vanille comes closest - or Luis Varel Extreme Rose, which was probably inspired by the aforementioned. I have never smelled Montale's Intense Café.
However, it is clear here with Ajwad, as already mentioned, that jasmine is prominently featured and not the rose, as with the reference candidates.
I find Ajwad really quite brilliant now, but I still think that the fragrance is not really a safe blind buy candidate, and I can absolutely imagine that someone might not like the opening, which admittedly also has a slightly synthetic-fruity feel.
But if you have already blind bought it and are not thrilled at the beginning, you should still give the perfume at least a second or third chance and allow the scent some time to develop, as Ajwad really smells much nicer once it has settled a bit.
If you do like it, it actually fits various occasions and seasons. However, I see it most in spring and autumn and, to be honest, also somewhat more on a woman than on a man.
The bottle and packaging are once again extremely nicely designed - in reality, even much more beautiful than in videos or pictures, and it was truly a joy to unbox it. The bottle consists of a very heavy glass with a gold finish, featuring a decorative plate with colorful mosaic embossing applied to the front. The atomizer distributes the fragrance evenly. In our bottle, the wooden cap holds well, but I wouldn't lift it by that just to be safe.
Ajwad comes in a chic, metallic-foiled sliding box (similar to the Casamorati line or, to stay with Lattafa, like Nebras), matching the bottle in colorful mosaic design, and is really a great bonus, at least for a packaging enthusiast like me. For a small price, you really get something here.
This is really one of Lattafa's great strengths. They often manage to make you feel like you've gotten an extremely good deal when unboxing.
