52 VOTESOpen Performance Breakdown 1 TAKE
Available voting suggests good staying power, with Majalis usually reading long lasting and moderate to strong in the air. Still, the only written review reports weaker projection and longevity, so wear can vary. It is safest to expect a richer cool-weather scent that may perform better close to skin than the dense note list first suggests.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Majalis smells warm, sweet and softly textured. Vanilla and amber lead, with warm spice close behind, while cacao, honey and coffee add a cozy gourmand tone. The oud seems present more as background depth than as the main feature, so the overall impression is smooth, comforting and lightly oriental rather than dark or challenging.
Main Accords
9 MAPPEDThe main accords look blended rather than sharply segmented. Vanilla and amber give the fragrance its rounded body, warm spice adds lift, and the oud seems to sit underneath rather than dominate. Cacao, honey and coffee likely add a soft edible texture, making the scent feel plush and inviting instead of dry, smoky or rough.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Majalis Review”
Majalis by Zoha Aroma is an oriental spicy scent with a clear sweet core. From the note list and accord structure, the fragrance is built around vanilla and amber first, with warm spice, cacao, honey, coffee and oud adding depth around them. In practice, it looks less like a dark oud statement and more like a cozy, ambered gourmand with an oriental frame.
The opening seems to center on sweet warmth rather than sharp contrast. Vanilla, amber and spice are the main impression, and the available user review describes it as a warm gourmand with an inviting bakery feel. That is useful context, because it suggests the fragrance may read softer and more comforting than the formal note list alone would imply. If you are coming in expecting a forceful oud perfume, Majalis may feel gentler and sweeter than expected.
As it settles, the composition appears to move into a smooth blend of amber, tonka-like sweetness and edible accents from cacao, honey and coffee. Those touches should give it body and texture without necessarily turning it into a literal coffee fragrance or a syrupy chocolate scent. The floral side is present in the notes, but it does not look like the main story. This seems to be a fragrance where sweetness and warmth do most of the talking.
The oud is worth addressing directly because it can shape buyer expectations. Here, the evidence suggests it plays more of a supporting role. The written review mentions only a faint oud impression, and that lines up with the broader feel of the fragrance as a warm vanilla amber first. That could be a plus for people who want an oud-adjacent scent without medicinal, smoky or animalic edges. It could also disappoint someone chasing a darker or more assertive wood profile.
Performance looks solid on paper. Community votes point to long lasting wear, with sillage landing mostly between moderate and strong. At the same time, the one written review reports limited projection and longevity. That contradiction makes this a fragrance to approach with realistic expectations. It may wear richly on some skins and much softer on others. For that reason, Majalis seems better treated as a sample-first scent if performance is a deciding factor.
In terms of style, Majalis appears best suited to fall, winter and evening use. The sweet ambered profile should feel most comfortable in cooler air, where the vanilla, spice and honeyed facets can come through without turning dense. It may also appeal to people who like gourmand fragrances but do not want to smell purely edible. There is enough oud and spice here to keep it in the oriental lane, even if the overall mood stays soft and inviting.
Majalis makes the most sense for someone who enjoys warm, sweet, comforting perfumes with a unisex profile and a smoother approach to oud. It is less convincing as a pick for lovers of dry woods, austere spice or aggressively projecting orientals. If that cozy vanilla amber idea sounds right, it looks like a worthwhile sample. If you want sharper structure or guaranteed power, there are reasons to be cautious.

Based on the available review and accord profile, the oud does not seem dominant. It appears softer and fainter than the vanilla, amber and sweet spicy side.

That depends on taste. If you enjoy vanilla amber scents with honeyed warmth and a gourmand edge, the sweetness should feel inviting. If you prefer dry woods or sharper spice, it may feel too cozy and dessert-like.

There is not enough strong evidence to make hard dupe claims. In style, Majalis appears closer to the broad family of warm vanilla amber gourmands with a soft oud accent rather than a true oud powerhouse. If you usually like sweet oriental scents with edible warmth, that is the lane to compare against. If you mainly wear dry, smoky oud fragrances, this may feel too smooth and dessert-leaning.
