Ajwad by Lattafa captures the essential rose-vanilla-sugar DNA of Roses Vanille with respectable fidelity, though it leans slightly sweeter and less complex. The opening is bright and citrusy similar to the original, but the heart feels more candy-like with less nuanced floral development, and the base trades cedar for amber, creating a warmer but less sophisticated dry-down.
Ajwad emphasizes sweetness over the original's balanced rose complexity and lacks the distinctive cedar note, resulting in a more linear, gourmand trajectory. Longevity and sillage are comparable, but Roses Vanille maintains better elegance through its woody base.
