The perfume is cataloged as unisex, but in first hour is pretty masculine, it starts fresh-spicy, some citruses, I can smell some pepper, cinnamon and star anise. Also, the opening is very very synthetic. After is starts to dry-down you can smell woods (mainly oud), something flowery and a touch of smokiness.

In the dry-down is nice, soft, amber, creamy-woody with some smoky notes, but still with that touch of freshness. It's a quite versatile fragrance

The performance is interesting, I get around 11H of longevity, but the projection is pretty weak... anyways, it's not a bad thing. It's a personal space fragrance which lasts a long time.

I'd wear this in summer too, it's a mixed freshness with smoked woods. I find it quite versatile :)

Opens ambery, oudy aromatic (from lavender) with some spices from saffron and nutmeg. The spicy tone from the beginning is diminished after ~10 minutes and a strong note of patchouli kicks in combined with something smoky. (I feel the note of patchouli very strong, and then fades quickly somehow in the background).

On my skin is sweeter in the opening than dry-down.

In the dry-down is very smoky, woody, dry, musky, leathery with some amber, the sweetness almost doesn't exist on my skin.

Performance is good aswell ~9H of longevity, moderate projection/sillage, the smell it's there, a nice bubble for like 2h and then goes closer and closer to the skin.

The presentation is 10/10, good quality and details. I don't know how they do it for that price.

Pleasant smell, it's fresh, soft spicy and aquatic.

The opening is a citrusy (not like CDNIM) lemon, lemongrass and I can feel some orange, all blended with spicy tones, one of them given by cinnamon, a soft cinnamon smell. After some minutes some flowers kicks in, I detect a quite strong smell of jasmine combined with lavander.

It becomes a little sweeter, I can smell some amber, musk. The musk is pretty strong in the dry-down. The smell is quite linear anyway, not big changes. Overall it's leafy-aquatic, citrus flowery with some soft spicy tones.

The performance on my skin is awesome, easy 10H with a strong projection in first 3H. If you spray on clothes, people can detect the fragrance on you even after 12H.
My father sprayed himself with it at ≈21:00 and left for work (he sprayed on his jacket), next morning at ~10:00 I passed by the hallstand from my house and took a sniff of Najdia for like 50cm distance. This perfume is a gem, trust me :) gets compliments too

+ deostick (50ml) all for 12€??

Indeed it reminds me of Invictus :)

I have 12/2019 150ml EDP version.

It starts very citrus, I don't think it's „harsh” or bad, tbh I really enjoy lemon smell and it doesn't smell like an „toilet air fresher” or what ppl say, I'd say it's a kindddaa „natural smell” (the lemon, to be clear, per total it's a quite synthetic fragrance). Anw, I have to admit, in the first 10 minutes you can get only LEMON/bergamot with smth fruity (probably Black Currant and Pineapple, I don't detect any apple). Anyways the opening is very fresh, nice from my pov.

After that it's more fruity, a little little smoky. The strong smell of lemon is diminished, you can still feel the citrus tone, but it's ok in combination with the flowery-fruity vibe blended with a woody smell.

The dry-down is nice. It is kinda smoky (smoky birch with ambergris and warm cuz of vanilla), still with the citrus vibe. I can smeel citrus notes from the beginning to the final, but the main notes are ambergris and birch in the dry-down.

It's a versatile fragrance, could be worn everywhere, anytime. I'd wear this more in warm days rather than colder ones.

The performance... hmm, well, it's not weak, but strong neither. It last a quite long on my skin, I sprayed around 14:30 and when I got home I took a shower ~22:00, after I rubbed my neck with my hands, I could smell the fragrance on my palms. (I used 5 spritz)
On clothes remain for more than 24h, but you can smell it only if you put your nose in the t-shirt/jacket...

The projection it's moderate I'd say, ~1meter, but when the wind blows, the trail is bigger than 1.5m (the sillage). The smell in the air is not strong, it won't hit you HARD, it's just there, a nice scent which won't offend anybody. It will project for like 2 hours maybe.


I'd say it's a 8/10

Scent: 9/10
Longevity: 8/10
Projection: 7/10
Bottle: 9/10 (fingerprint, but still nice, I like it. The cap goes off so f* hard xd)
Price: 8/10 (I paid ≈41€ for 150ml)

I haven't smelled CA, so I can't compare.

This is my first review :) This is my opinion about the perfume and how it smells on my skin, also I'm kinda new in „perfumes world” haha
