About This Perfume
Aretha by Ajmal is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Aretha was launched in 2016. Top notes are Mandarin Orange, Pear and Bergamot; middle notes are Turkish Rose, Jasmine, Magnolia and White Flowers; base notes are Sandalwood, Cedar and Musk. A spring fragrance created to attract young women who are fun loving and free-spirited. This fresh fruity delight has a stunning opening with a punch of Bergamot, Mandarin entwined with Pear, leading the way to the heart of this scent. The heart is a blossom of flowers combining powerful blend of Turkish Rose and Jasmine, which are skillfully wrapped with subtle Magnolia & White Flowers. The beautiful effect of this blend nests on a fine Woody base: a refined bed of Cedarwood, Sandalwood and Musk provides character, strength and persistence for the fragrance.

Is Ajmal Right for You?
Best for: shoppers who want an Emirati heritage house that spans both a $15 entry point and $350 prestige oud releases in one catalogue, with a strongly unisex, woody-spiced signature. Sample first if: you're drawn to the higher end of the range; check the specific concentration and oud content, since price varies widely within the house. Skip if: you want a light, fresh, citrus-forward scent; Ajmal's center of gravity is warm and woody.
