Nejma 7 by Nejma features top notes of Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Mandarin Orange, middle notes of Cacao Pod, Coconut, and Neroli, and base notes of Agarwood (Oud), Musk, and Patchouli.
Lots of perfumes with coconut notes get it entirely wrong, and you have to be careful the notes you pair it with, white florals neroli and jasmine and it can resemble cheap sunscreen, too gourmand a line up of accompaniments and it gets too sweet and cloying. Put lime or fruity notes with it and it becomes a pina collada or summer Exotic cocktail now I’m not saying all of these don’t work rather that it has to be a balanced use of these elements which can be said for perfume compositions in much broader terms. Anyway....Nejma 7 gets this coconut centric blend absolutely and entirely correct. Opulent, sweet and gourmand yet tempered with bitter cacao and a hint of patchouli with good quality woods and oud in the base, this is a really decent and relatively long lasting gourmand. Not quite interesting enough to love but a definite like and something gourmand and certainly coconut lovers should try because you’d be hard pressed to find anything with more quality. This is perfectly wearable for a man but I still have a instinct that it’s more feminine. Reminds me a little of Odin Roam 10 I even get a bit of the smooth, opulent and spicy ebony wood from this too.
