Nejma 1, from Nejma was released in 2014. The perfumer behind this creation is Alice Lavenat. It has the top notes of Rose Hip, Saffron, and Thyme, middle notes of Incense, Jasmine, and Rose, and base notes of Agarwood (Oud) and Patchouli.
Okay so I agree with the comparisons to the obvious it's like one of those sweet, raspberry leather concoctions in the shape of the usual suspects. However, Nejma just about has it's own thing going on and especially in the opening. I can believe there's oud, rose even saffron in here because it comes across slightly smokier with an all together darker tone and less of a blatant clone of...you know what. I can tell you now that side by side they develop ever so differently but ultimately to the same end. Well I'd actually say it shares more with Clive Christian C than anything else, the leather seems a it more genuine and it's not quite as intrusive but also means that it's not quite as strong either. Apparently according to some this is reasonably priced and could be a viable option if you love this kind of scent. I think because I've smelled so many of these, I can detect subtle nuances in the way they come over but frankly once you've tested these and decided which one works for you budget wise and longvity/silage it's really not something you need to own a load of and for that reason, although lovely smelling Nejma 1 is a bit redundant. I've avoided mentioning it so far but on balance you might as well get Tuscan leather. It's not the best value but in truth it's slightly louder and longer lasting.
