Najdia Intense suits someone who wants a fruity, aromatic men's fragrance with more depth than a straightforward citrus scent — the pineapple-and-mint opening gives way to a herbal lavender heart and a warm tonka-and-sandalwood base, so it works as a warm-weather signature that doesn't stay purely sweet or fruity all day. Fragrantica's community voting backs it strongly as a men's scent, though anyone who likes the profile should wear it.

Najdia Intense opens with pineapple, apple, mint and ginger, moves into a marine, lavender and geranium heart, then settles into tonka bean, sandalwood, musk and patchouli for a warm, woody-sweet finish. Fragrantica's community voting (771 votes) puts longevity at long-lasting or moderate for close to 88% of wearers, with sillage running moderate to strong for most.
Najdia Intense is a 2024 Aromatic release from Lattafa. Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts aromatic at 100% strength and fruity right behind it at 96%, with fresh spicy (72%), sweet (66%) and green (60%) filling out the middle of the profile, and marine (57%), fresh (55%) and woody (49%) rounding out the base. The top opens on pineapple, apple, mint and ginger — a bright, slightly sharp fruit-and-herb combination. The heart brings marine notes, lavender and geranium, which is what keeps the fruit from turning purely sweet: the lavender adds a clean, herbal edge and the geranium a faint rosy-green lift. The base settles into tonka bean, sandalwood, musk and patchouli — tonka supplies a soft, almost almond-like warmth, sandalwood and patchouli add a dry woody depth, and musk ties the whole composition to the skin.
The opening is the most fruit-forward stage: pineapple and apple lead, with mint and ginger giving it a brisk, slightly spicy lift. Within the first hour the marine, lavender and geranium heart takes over, cooling the fruit down and adding an aromatic, herbal quality that carries the aromatic accord's 100% strength through the middle of the wear. From there it dries down slowly into tonka bean, sandalwood and musk, with patchouli underneath — the fruit and herb character fades and what's left is a warmer, woodier, quieter version of the same scent. Fragrantica's daypart voting agrees with that arc: of 882 votes, 69.5% log it as a daytime scent against 30.5% for evening, consistent with a fragrance that opens bright and settles rather than intensifying after dark.
Of 771 Fragrantica longevity votes, 47.6% rate Najdia Intense's staying power as long-lasting and a further 40.34% call it moderate — together, close to 88% of voters put it at moderate or better, with only 6.35% finding it weak or very weak and 5.71% calling it eternal. Sillage tracks similarly: of 746 votes, 59.25% describe its projection as moderate, 28.82% as strong and 4.56% as enormous, with 7.37% calling it intimate and skin-close. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Of 1,680 Fragrantica season votes, summer leads at 41.73% and spring follows closely at 37.98% — together nearly 80% of voters place it in the warmer half of the year. Autumn trails at 15.06% and winter is the smallest group at 5.24%. It reads as a warm-weather fragrance built around its fruity and marine facets rather than a cold-weather scent.
Lattafa markets Najdia Intense as a men's fragrance, and Fragrantica's own gender voting agrees strongly: of 743 votes, 27.46% call it male and a further 48.32% male-leaning — together over three-quarters of voters. Unisex voters make up 19.92%, with female and female-leaning together under 5%. Wear it if the profile suits you, but the brand framing and the community's voting are both firmly on the masculine side for this one.
Fragrantica's community linking places Najdia Intense closest to Le Beau Paradise Garden by Jean Paul Gaultier, with Hawas Tropical by Rasasi — also carried by FG Perfumes — appearing as a second frequent match, both sharing the same fruity-aromatic-marine shape. If you like a fresh, fruit-led men's fragrance with a herbal lift, this is the same general territory.

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.
