About This Perfume
Ajmal Silver Shade smells like bright citrus and rose with a powdery, musky finish. Lemon, lime, bergamot, plum, violet leaf and blackcurrant make a sparkling, fruity-green opening. Iris, jasmine and rose form a powdery floral heart, and the base is ambergris, white musk, civet, sandalwood, tonka bean and cedar. It leans masculine and feels fresh and uplifting, with a soft animalic hum from the civet.
A daytime scent for spring, summer and fall, it is worn casually by the community. It has been around since 2012. An honest note on performance: the community says it has moderate staying power and reaches about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone who wants a fresh citrus-floral with a powdery, musky depth.
- Sample first if: civet or animalic notes make you nervous.
- Skip if: you want a sweet gourmand.

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.
