Lilac as a key note: 6 fragrances for note connoisseurs

If you're looking for a breath of fresh air in the world of oriental perfumery, take a closer look at Jaddid. This young and ambitious brand from Saudi Arabia, founded in 2014, has quickly established itself as a bold experimenter. Its name translates from Arabic as 'new,' and this concept has become the brand's philosophy: to create fragrances that honor the traditions of the Arabian Peninsula but feel modern and unexpected.
Unlike many conservative houses, Jaddid is not afraid to break the rules. The perfumers behind the compositions prefer to remain in the shadows, but their signature is recognizable: complex, multi-layered pyramids where resinous oud meets citrus freshness, and amber intertwines with frankincense. The brand targets a niche audience that values individuality and is ready for bold olfactory journeys.
The brand's signature fragrance can rightfully be called Jaddid – Lumber. It's like a walk through an old sawmill, where wood, soaked in the sun, breathes warmth and resin. This is a powerful, 'masculine' unisex scent that finds its admirers thanks to the sensual depth of cedar, patchouli, and leather. It's an ideal choice for those seeking a long-lasting sillage fragrance with character.
For lovers of contrasts, Jaddid – Juvenile was created — a lighter, more 'youthful' composition. Here, playful sweet accents (perhaps berries or creamy notes) coexist with the purity of aldehydes and soft greenery. It's a take on Arabic perfumery without the heaviness — playful, but with dignity. And Jaddid – Juvenile Amber develops this idea by adding a warm, almost enveloping amber base that makes the fragrance cozier and more feminine.
Special mention goes to Jaddid – Momtaz. In Arabic, 'momtaz' means 'excellent' or 'superior,' and the bottle fully lives up to its name. This is an oriental gourmand with notes of saffron, cardamom, and vanilla combined with noble oud wood. Momtaz is a fragrance for special occasions when you want to highlight status and impeccable taste.
According to connoisseurs, Jaddid fragrances are characterized by high longevity (from 8 to 12 hours) and a powerful yet comfortable sillage. This is not perfume that 'screams'; rather, it confidently makes its presence known. The brand operates in the mid-price range of niche brands, making it attractive for exploring the Arabic school. The quality of raw materials, thoughtful composition, and minimalist bottle design are what fans note.
When purchasing Jaddid fragrances, attention should be paid to authenticity: official bottles have a laser engraving of the name, frosted glass, and a reliable sprayer. The brand does not produce miniature testers, so any 'samples' in an unofficial format should raise suspicion. It's better to trust authorized online platforms and well-known niche boutiques.
Jaddid is a bold step into a world where East meets West, and traditions find a new sound. If you want to discover Arabic perfumery without stereotypes about 'heavy' oils, start with Lumber or Juvenile. And for a unique experience, welcome to Momtaz. This brand proves that 'new' can be incredibly beautiful.
