This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for casual days and date nights. Released in 2008.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

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.
