Majda Bekkali Mudejar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Richard Ibanez.

Seriously underrated and a proper hidden gem, Mudejar is a fresh, woody powerhouse that manages to be both unique and universally appealing. This isn't just another citrus-woody fragrance; it's got a sophisticated twist that screams quiet confidence.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its fresh and clean profile, combined with a subtle yet distinctive character, makes it highly suitable for the office. While versatile, its sophisticated woody base means it can easily transition from casual wear to a more formal setting, though it might be too understated for a bold date night statement.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mudejar opens with a zesty, slightly bitter grapefruit, quickly sharpened by a kick of black pepper. The heart introduces a distinctive greenness from redcurrant leaf and a dry, aromatic cedar. As it settles, a soft leather emerges, expertly blended with the earthy depth of oakmoss, creamy sandalwood, and a subtle, calming veil of incense. It's a journey from vibrant freshness to a refined, woody tranquility.
