Najdia suits someone who wants a citrus-led fragrance with more backbone than a simple fresh scent — the cinnamon and cardamom keep the opening spiced rather than sweet, and the musk-amber-sandalwood base gives it real staying power for a citrus composition. It works well through spring and summer, worn during the day.

Najdia opens with bright lemon and apple sharpened by cinnamon and lemongrass, moves into a watery lavender-and-cardamom heart, then settles into musk, amber, sandalwood and a touch of tobacco for a warm, woody-aromatic finish. Fragrantica's community voting (1,373 raters) puts longevity at moderate for the largest single group, with a further 35% calling it long-lasting.
Najdia is a 2020 Aromatic Aquatic release from Lattafa. Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts citrus at 100% strength, the dominant note by far, with aromatic close behind at 71%. The opening runs lemon, apple, cinnamon, lemongrass and bergamot — sharp and fruited, with the cinnamon giving it a spiced edge rather than a purely fresh one. The heart brings watery notes, lavender, cardamom and rosemary, which is where the fresh spicy (59%) and aquatic (55%) accords sit, cutting the citrus with something cooler and greener. The base is musk, amber, sandalwood, cedar and tobacco — a warm spicy (51%) and woody (43%) close that grounds the fragrance after the bright top and cool heart.
Najdia opens sharp and citrus-forward, the lemon and apple carrying most of the early character with cinnamon adding warmth underneath. Through the heart, the watery and aromatic notes take over — lavender, cardamom and rosemary read as cool and green rather than sweet, keeping the composition from tipping into a straightforward gourmand direction. The dry-down brings the musk, amber, sandalwood, cedar and tobacco forward, and the fragrance settles into a woody, spiced base that stays close to the skin for the rest of wear. Fragrantica voters lean toward daytime wear — 69.66% log it as a day scent against 30.34% for evening, of 1,447 votes.
Of 1,373 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (49.67%) rate Najdia's staying power as moderate, with a further 35.47% calling it long-lasting and 4.95% finding it eternal. Sillage tracks similarly: of 1,310 votes, 60.69% describe its projection as moderate, 27.33% call it strong, and 9.69% find it more intimate and skin-close. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes favour the warmer months — summer leads at 37.12% and spring follows at 34.33%, together well over two-thirds of the 2,799 votes. Autumn trails at 20.4% and winter is the smallest group at 8.15%. It reads as a fragrance built for daylight and heat rather than cold-weather wear.
Lattafa markets Najdia as a fragrance for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting leans toward the masculine side — 30.8% male and a further 40.68% male-leaning of 1,357 votes, against 24.98% calling it unisex and a small female showing — but the brand's own framing and FG's stated approach keep it open to any wearer.
Fragrantica's community voting links Najdia most closely to Invictus by Rabanne, with Hawas for Him by Rasasi and Lattafa's own Hayaati also frequently mentioned — suggesting Najdia shares the fresh, aromatic-aquatic shape of that broader style.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
Lattafa Perfumes started in Dubai in 1980, and the family who founded it still runs the company. Its name comes from the Arabic words for kindness and pleasantness. Lattafa perfumes range from sweet gourmands to bold ouds, at prices well below designer brands.
