@GONÉ VALO: Very kind friend, thank you so much for reading and commenting. Give my best. Health and good life always.
Reminds me of that strong Kenzo EDT Intense marine. I don’t like the scent much; not a blind buy. Try Kenzo first, and if you like it, you’ll like Wajood. Beast mode in longevity and projection.
Joee, reading the comments, I think I’m the only one who didn’t like it. It smells like a sawdust pile of old wood and nothing else. The salty notes are very brief at the start, then it’s left with the scent of rotting wood from an old ship. I recommend not buying blind.
Lasts all day. In fact, it’s one of the longest-lasting fragrances I’ve tried. Men only. Strong opening with marine and pepper notes. The scent after drying remains pleasant, with that marine and old-ship spirit dominating, keeping that ‘power’ without fading. I don’t recommend buying blind if you can test it first, as it won’t suit everyone. But with such an accessible price, I imagine many will take the risk without issues.
It throws a massive blast of wet wood, an intense scent that reminds me a lot of Kenzo Homme Intense. As it dries, that wet wood note fades, but it remains the protagonist, and upon closer inspection, I notice a sweet touch in the base. To me, it’s wet wood that’s been in the water for a while. I don’t like Kenzo, but I like this more. Not a blind buy; I suggest a decant if you can’t test it. I won’t buy it because it’s not my style, though it’s rich, long-lasting, potent, and has good sillage. I see it as versatile.
Its aroma vibrates between Kenzo Homme Intense and Kenzo Homme EDP. In Wajood, you notice more patchouli and wood; it doesn’t explicitly say fig, but it gives that sensation, perhaps due to the patchouli. Sometimes it reminds me of Kenzo Homme EDP or Intense, but this one is fruitier and brighter, with a temperate climate vibe. Wajood isn’t sweet or fruity. I haven’t tried Tom Ford Minerale to confirm similarities. It has strong projection, a ‘woody marine herbal’ scent (not light aquatic), intense, masculine, and informal. Ideal for all ages, especially young people with confident taste looking for deep, presence-filled aromas. It doesn’t have an Arab vibe, but rather Kenzo touches with a Lattafa imprint. Any Westerner or anyone who dislikes oriental scents will approve. If you don’t have Kenzo Homme Intense or EDP, this Wajood brings that vibe. The quality is noticeable, like in Lattafa’s Pride line. Performance is notable, almost in beast mode, rivaling Kenzo Homme Intense and surpassing the EDP. Be careful with sprays in enclosed spaces and don’t apply on clothes. Not for extreme climates; its power is for night and day, year-round. Versatile. Recommendation: for price and quality, it’s a satisfying purchase. Cheers, Prodad, Lattafa Masa.
All-day perfume. One of the ones that gets me the most compliments. It was my first fragrance from this type and these Arab brands, and it didn’t disappoint. Bought blind, and the first time I wore it, more than five people asked about it, even strangers. 100% recommended, great price for what it offers.
Does anyone think this smells like When the Rain Stops by Margiela?
Tested on a decant. The opening is spectacular, blending the best of Kenzo and Oud Minerale with a dry-down of wet, salty wood. I’m impressed. It’s a versatile, budget-friendly fragrance, but I recommend testing before buying blind. Between this and Kenzo Marine, I can’t decide; this is drier, while Kenzo is sweeter. Buying soon.
It blows everything away. It’s truly marine—not aquatic, but with that vibe of an old beached ship and wood. Totally original, nothing like Acqua di Gio or DG Light Blue. Notes of sea and sandalwood, with the sandalwood dominating the dry down. Lasts like a beast: 18 hours on skin, and I can still smell it on my shirt from yesterday. Pure versatility, strong projection, incredible longevity, and for $32… man, you can’t beat that.
People, so you don’t make the same mistake: this perfume does NOT resemble Kenzo EDT Intense. If you’re looking for something similar, go for the EDP or even the Marine from the same line.
An exquisite BEAST MODE that clears the room instantly. I sprayed it 4 times and filled the house, had to open the windows; the next day I could still smell it. It’s a nuclear bomb: don’t overdo it with more than two sprays due to olfactory fatigue. Smells like wet wood, sea, and salt; sandalwood is there from the start and pink pepper adds a kick. Inspired by Kenzo Homme EDT Intense but evokes Orto Parisi’s Megamare, like its flanker. Every use feels like navigating a rough sea. Lasted all day on skin with 3+ hours of projection and on clothes until laundry. Ideal for temperate/warm climates, more for night than day. Recommended for men over 30 due to its strong character. Stunning packaging. The marine beast of Arabic perfumery; if Aquaman existed, he’d wear this.
I tested the original at a mall and I agree: they are very similar, almost 100% (@Martin Wolfenson, I think you tested a different one, this is a straight copy). If you like Kenzo EDT Intense, save up and buy this; the box is a 10/10 lined in suede. Don’t buy blindly: it’s for mature noses. Good longevity, better than average; if you let it mature properly, it could be a beast.
Smells like salt, as if sandalwood were soaked in seawater and left to dry in the sun with cumin. Usually, cumin smells like armpits to me, but here it’s well-crafted, giving an animalic touch in the dry-down that blends perfectly with my skin chemistry. Beast mode? Not at all. It smells pungent, characteristic, fresh, and salty.
I own Wajood and tested Kenzo Homme in-store: they are identical, maybe Kenzo is a tiny bit sweeter, but practically speaking, it’s the same thing. I’m a regular consumer, not an expert, and I love both. I could say this is my favorite DNA.
Reminds me of the smell of a Cuauhtémoc sailboat when it’s soaked at the stern. This is truly a Lattafa Pride, a real Marine Beast. It lasted over 12 hours on my skin and projected for 7 hours. Alongside CDNI EDT and Essencial Oud, these are in a different league regarding projection.
Excellent fragrance. Reminds me of Kenzo Homme EDT Intense but without the fruity notes. Wajood is more woody, metallic, salty, and marine, like wood submerged in the sea. It’s versatile—not for daytime summer, but perfect for night. It’s not playful; it’s informal yet elegant and mature. Solid longevity: 8 hours without issues.
Great price. The opening is a bit synthetic and spicy, nothing like the typical fresh citrus; it’s more of a metallic, marine, dark vibe that I absolutely love. It doesn’t bother people: I wore it in my 4×5 meter living room and no one complained, though it does mute other fragrances if you overapply. If you find it in Mexico for under 600 pesos, grab it immediately. Worth it. Rating: 8.0.
I own both: Kenzo Homme EDT Intense and Lattafa Wajood. At first, they smell the same, but then they diverge. Kenzo moves into sweet fig, mint, and green wood; Wajood shifts to amber and freshly cut wood. Both are fresh, but Kenzo is for summer and open spaces (and gets you compliments), while Wajood is better for winter or enclosed spaces with a max of two sprays.
I own Wajood but never tried Kenzo before. Today I tested it on my skin and they’re about 90% identical; Kenzo feels slightly more premium, though Wajood lasts longer. If you’re looking for an alternative to Kenzo Intense, this is it. Warning: it’s not for everyone—test it first or have a trained nose. Both are exquisite.
I tried it casually while looking for a Mother’s Day perfume. Once I picked the gift, I noticed a small 20ml vial that caught my eye due to the format. Out of curiosity, I asked the girl if I could smell it and was blown away. As previously said, calling it ‘aquatic’ is an understatement. It’s a mature and woody fragrance. It has a beautiful opening with marine notes and the kick of pink pepper. As it dries down, it takes a sweeter tone without becoming cloying. I would wear it… I think it’s not a blind buy, but it is a fragrance worth considering. It’s very rich and costs 1/4 of what Kenzo does. Given the price difference, there’s no reason to hesitate. The somewhat ‘dark’ opening put me in a cold weather mindset, but after two minutes, it reveals its great versatility. In my opinion, it looks spectacular in any weather.
I just acquired this Lattafa fragrance. The opening is a bit synthetic, but I think I can smell the pink pepper. Basically, at first, it smells like a common fresh, catalog-style men’s perfume. Then, after a few minutes, I notice leather and sweet marine and woody notes. It’s elegant and sweet in the dry down, leaving a sweet leather trail. I’m wearing it in the heat, and after 5 hours it’s already clinging to the skin (unless it’s olfactory fatigue). I had to spray it many times on clothes to get the projection I like. I recommend it for men over 35. The packaging is nice and simulates leather, although the notes don’t say so, but I do feel it. The bottle is very voluminous and doesn’t fit on my shelf, so I’ll see if I can recycle it. I’ll keep using it, maybe let it macerate a bit and acquire the other notes. I’ll update my review then.
Speaking of Kenzo, I own both and they really don’t resemble each other much. The standout point of Kenzo, the fig, is not present in Wajood.
A gift that I use occasionally for casual daytime outings when I can’t decide what to wear. It smells fresh, slightly salty, and vanilla-ish. It’s not a winner for me, but I dislike it not at all.
How I appreciate this hidden gem that nobody has hyped. This will have you looking sharp day or night. I started in the Arab world with this marvel. Almost everyone starts with the CDN, but since I’m a lover of fresh scents, this is a bomb in terms of longevity, projection, and price. I recommend it, and without a doubt, it won’t be the first bottle from this brand I buy. Thumbs up.
To start, it’s a beast. The aroma is marine, salty, and mossy with very prominent sandalwood and a touch of pink pepper that adds freshness. I also detect something mineral. As some say, it has that shipwood touch, but it’s not negative. It’s totally different from current trends: formal, solemn, fresh yet dense and woody. It doesn’t smell synthetic at all; it’s a natural work of art. The resemblance to Kenzo EDT Intense is minimal; both are marine with sandalwood, but Kenzo is sweeter due to fig and more strident, while Wajood is earthier and wetter. Neither are blind buys. The longevity and projection are among the best I have, though Kenzo still edges it out a bit. I see it as perfect for cool days around 15-20 degrees or in the rain, but it can be heavy in heat. It’s dense and elegant, ideal for formal events. The bottle isn’t my favorite design-wise, but it mists well. I bought it for 30 euros, an incredible price for something that would cost 150 or 200 in niche. Every collector should have this.
This is the mid-range fragrance that has earned me the most praise, both in summer and winter, with no difference. Excellent performance and the cost is lower than its real value. 100% recommended. Timeless, lively, and very fun scent.
I bought it again, and it’s still a total beast with brutal projection. It smells like those salty, wet beach woods, with notes of pink pepper, vetiver, and a hidden sandalwood that is timeless beauty. I’ll buy it again when prices drop.
Total beast of a fragrance. The Fragrantica notes don’t do it justice. In my experience, it’s more potent than Kenzo. Updated 3/8/25: after wearing it repeatedly, I think I’ve developed olfactory fatigue, but now I can barely smell it at all.
I’m radically honest: the hype from influencers comparing this Wajood to Kenzo is misleading. If you’re looking for a fresh aquatic ‘blue’ scent to please everyone, or if you’re under 40, think twice before buying it blind. For us, the over-40s who grew up with classic 80s and 90s fougères, it’s a different story. It doesn’t smell like seawater; it’s a woody fougère with herbs and spices, reminding me of L’Eau d’Issey Intense or Guy Laroche Horizon. It’s an 80s vintage gem with pink pepper, vetiver, and patchouli—nothing of that modern freshness. If you want something with character and mature elegance, you’ll love it; if you’re chasing trends, this isn’t for you.
The first time I sprayed it, it gave me a headache; it has a very strong opening the first few times, but over time it becomes softer. It lasts all day, more than 8 hours, and projects a lot. You have to be careful with sprays; if you like Kenzo Homme EDT Intense, this is 99% similar, and for the price, I’d go for this.
I don’t understand the criticism of Wajood. I bought it for $22 and at the same time bought Kenzo Homme EDP for $56, more than double. While they aren’t identical, they are similar. Kenzo is less synthetic, only in that aspect is it better, period. Aside from that, the difference in scent lies in the woods, since in Wajood there is a predominant sandalwood while in Kenzo patchouli is more present. The biggest difference is in projection: while Kenzo is long-lasting, it’s personal sillage; conversely, Wajood has a heavier sillage. If you want to know the scent, go for Wajood, and if you like it, buy Kenzo, although with this you wouldn’t add much variety to your collection. I’d go for Wajood a thousand times. Wajood is BBB. Just be careful with sprays, measure as you go since if you overapply it can get dizzying.
The opening is quite strong and spicy, it resembles Kenzo about 50%, then the opening fades and it stays in that characteristic KENZO smell. In the dry down it’s already 90% similar, I paid $19 for the fragrance and for the packaging and everything it has, it’s absolutely worth it. A different aroma, that you feel in the air and that evokes feelings of the sea and aquatic-woody notes. I definitely recommend it a lot.
It doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. The opening is a direct hit to the nose, the dry down is the best part. The smell is basically wet woods floating over a salty sea on a cloudy day. It can result in a melancholic vibe. Something mature, for men over 30, versatile use day and night, formal or casual, any season of the year. Projects incredibly and doesn’t stop. Lasts more than 7 hours but you have to be careful with sprays or it can be annoying. Still, it’s not for everyone, only for those who already have some experience with fragrances, otherwise it’s hard to like. 7.8/10
The opening is terrible, but terrible, seriously: an unbearable smell of cumin or nutmeg. When it dries, it’s pleasant, put it this way, something ‘similar’ to Kenzo but it would be the Arab version of the same, it still has that characteristic smell of Arab perfumery. No one is going to tell you: ‘What a great perfume!’. And if they do, they’re messing with you. Thank god I bought a decant…
I bought it blind because of the hype. And at first, I didn’t like it much. The opening is overwhelming… but as it dries down, it becomes quite pleasant. My wife likes it. These days I went out and visited a sports store, and the girl who attended to me at that moment gave me a compliment. So I’m using it more frequently. It seems women really like the smell of the sea, of wet wood.
Well, this isn’t for everyone; I see it as a bit more mature and consider it a best mode. It’s an excellent perfume, honestly, I’ve wanted it for a long time because I’m head over heels for Kenzo. If you’re looking for a dupe, this isn’t the best choice, but if you want something rich for summer, this is perfect. I see it as semi-formal, not daily wear because it can be overwhelming; personally, I’ve applied eight sprays and it’s already too strong for me. It’s a gem, but not for everyone. If you want to buy it, I recommend trying a decant or visiting a perfumerie. It’s incredibly rich; at first, it’s your tide. It’s very strong. I repeat, it’s good. Continuing on this topic, that marine note is exquisite; it combines with a salt note, perfectly, giving it stability. It lasts 8 to 10 hours on skin, projection is amazing, firm for about three hours. It’s for something more semi-casual, something casual. I’m not sure if it’s that versatile, even with that marine note, if it doesn’t overwhelm. Differences from Kenzo: this is stronger, obviously more synthetic. Here in Chile I found it; a friend bought it for $20 as a gift, but here in Chile it goes for 30 or 35 thousand, a good price for the perfume it is.
I don’t think the opening is that bad; maybe sharp, but not bad. It’s a marine and salty fragrance, incredibly rich, semi-formal, and great for heat, but the woody notes make it very rich in cold weather. The profile is neither youthful nor sweet; it’s a woody, marine, and salty scent.
The first time I wore it, it immediately reminded me of a perfume I knew from years ago. After about thirty minutes, the image of Kenzo popped into my mind and I couldn’t shake it. That is, at the same time, the strength and the weakness of this fragrance. It resembles a Kenzo, but with a less ‘earthy’ touch and a slightly Arab and oriental vibe.
$32 vs $80: Kenzo EDP doesn’t smell like Kenzo Intense (that herbal fig scent), but rather reminds me of Santal Marin with less cumin. As it dries down, it leans more toward the EDP due to the patchouli and leather; nothing floral or Tom Ford clone-like. There’s a huge gap in longevity between Kenzo fragrances; from 2021 to 2023 they were great, but in 2024 and 2025 they dropped significantly, especially Indigo, which is the worst. It’s a great marine alternative, neither too youthful nor party-ready. People say it lacks salt, but the salt is in Maison Alhambra’s Porto Neroli. It is woody, but wood isn’t the standout third note. Recommended: it’s better than Santal Marine and the EDP in terms of strength and longevity, although Marine smells better in its pure aroma. Don’t confuse it with Best Mode regarding longevity.
