Oud Najdia Perfume 100ml EDP by Lattafa is one of the house's cleverest compositions: a fragrance that carries oud in its name yet opens like a breath of cool desert morning air. Released in 2020, it blends crisp apple and citrus with aromatic herbs and watery freshness before settling into a warm, softly woody base of musk, vanilla, amber and cedar with a smooth Tabac undertone. It is unisex, endlessly easy to wear and famous among fragrance fans for smelling far more refined than its price suggests.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
The first minutes sparkle with apple, bergamot and lemon, brightened further by a zing of lemongrass and a delicate dusting of cinnamon. It is fresh, aromatic and instantly likeable, closer to a sleek modern fougere than a traditional dark oud.
The Heart
Cool watery notes ripple through the middle, joined by lavender, cardamom and rosemary. A thread of cinnamon bark keeps things gently warm while the woody core begins to assemble beneath. The overall impression is polished freshness with a quietly spicy pulse.
The Dry Down
The base is where Oud Najdia earns its name in spirit if not literally: musk, vanilla and amber melt into sandalwood and cedar, roughened ever so slightly by a whisper of Tabac. The finish is warm, smooth and comfortable, lasting well into the evening.
