Ajwad captures the coffee-forward opening and warm amber base of Intense Café quite well, making it a solid budget alternative for those seeking that café-gourmand aesthetic. However, the floral heart feels slightly less refined in the clone, with the rose appearing more generic and the overall composition lacking some of the original's sophisticated complexity and depth.
Ajwad's longevity is slightly shorter than the original, and the white musk in the base comes across as standard synthetic musk rather than the creamier, more nuanced musk used in Montale's formulation. The coffee accord is nearly identical, but the transitions between notes feel less seamless in the clone.
What people who wear Lattafa Ajwad report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“The same DNA getting quite popular nowadays...similar to Arabian oud's Aseel special edition & Al Jazeera Perfume's Magic...people love it..great stuff at affordable price...Lattafa and Armaf give you good clones at affordable range..with almost 90-95% similar scent profile to the original perfume at fraction of the original price.”
“Good pickup for less than 30 euro for 60ml. Make sure you like rose if you're looking to buy this.Sweet opening, kind of fresh from the fruity bits but develops into a rose-heavy, sweet little treat on my skin over the first half hour. Performance is decent enough to last half of the day and reaches out to about arms length for the first hour after which the scent gets more intimate in reach. Smell developed into a unique blend of sweet and almost tangy in the opening over a couple of months after the first spray.”
“Wow! Such a beautiful fragrance, what everyone says about macerating Arabic fragrances is so true with this one! When I first got this, it quite literally lasted about an hour to two hours, but now, it lasts me a good seven hours, more if its not too cold out. To me, I smell warm fruits and honey, but like a very deep and dark rich honey, it smells golden. I get a lot of compliments on it and most people pick up the amber and vanilla on me. I would recommend testing it first because it doesn't smell like a traditional western fragrance, but it is so so pleasing, oh yesss.”
