Lattafa Ejaazi Eau de Parfum

Lattafa Ejaazi Eau de Parfum is one of the brand's longer-running oriental fragrances, known for a heavy ambroxan base that gives it a strong, modern woody character at a low price.

What does Ejaazi smell like?

The opening is bright and spicy, combining citrus, orange, cardamom, lavender and myrtle for a fresh, slightly aromatic start. Moving into the heart, patchouli, pepper, lily of the valley and cinnamon leaf add warmth and a touch of spice without losing the freshness from the top. The base is the fragrance's main talking point: ambroxan, woods, amber, cedar, oakmoss and vetiver combine into a loud, synthetic-woody accord that dominates the dry-down.

• Top notes: Citrus, Orange, Cardamom, Lavender, Myrtle
• Heart notes: Patchouli, Pepper, Lily of the Valley, Cinnamon Leaf
• Base notes: Ambroxan, Woods, Amber, Cedar, Oakmoss, Vetiver

Performance and when to wear it

Ejaazi is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the ambroxan-heavy base carrying it well past the spicy opening. Because that base note is so pronounced, it can cause nose blindness for some wearers, so it's worth applying in moderation. It works best as an evening or cold-weather fragrance where a strong, woody trail is welcome.

Who is it for?

This suits fans of modern, ambroxan-forward fragrances who want that loud woody-amber character without paying designer prices. It's unisex, though the citrus-spice opening and heavy base tend to appeal most to wearers who already enjoy bold, projecting scents.
