With some Nejma fragrances 'loosely' based on creations from a particular niche house (Montale), it comes as no surprise that Nejma Three smells like a blatant hybrid of two Montales: Attar and Aoud Queen Roses. With a somewhat tart fruit pulp accord, which emerges during the mid notes, one is also reminded of Montale's very own Velvet Flowers.
Like Nejma Two, the composition attempts to distil as many complementary Montale creations into one bottle, while making no real effort to conceal such influences on its sleeve. Although the jammy floral and sandalwood drydown is quite delicious, the final stages of its development just aren't enough to redeem itself.
Lasting power is about average (at least four or five hours) with moderate sillage.
