About This Perfume
Strings of Oud by Ajmal is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Strings of Oud was launched in 2026. The nose behind this fragrance is Philippine Courtière. Top notes are Black Pepper, Cardamom and Wormwood; middle notes are Incense, Geranium and Cypress; base notes are Tobacco Leaf, Cedarwood and Bourbon Vanilla. Strings of Oud by Ajmal is constructed to suggest the character of oud without using oud itself, focusing instead on texture, warmth and contrast. The composition opens with a spicy and aromatic accord of cardamom oil, black pepper from Madagascar and wormwood. The heart combines geranium from Madagascar, incense and cypress, adding a resinous, woody and slightly green dimension. In the base, tobacco leaf, vanilla bourbon absolute from Madagascar and cedarwood create a warm, smooth and gently smoky drydown. Overall, the fragrance presents a nuanced interpretation of the warmth and depth often associated with oud through a balanced blend of spice, woods and resins.

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.
