About This Perfume
Amouage's Ajwad is a rose and oud composition with powdery accords, launched in 2012. The fragrance balances floral elegance with deep woody character, creating a sophisticated blend that marries traditional Arabian ingredients with refined presentation. Its powdery undertones soften the intensity of the oud, resulting in a nuanced scent suitable for those seeking complexity in a classic profile.

The picks, note by note
Amouage Guidance (Eau de Parfum, 2023) smells like creamy sandalwood with roasted hazelnut and warm amber spice, starting with hazelnut and pear before akigalawood, sandalwood and vanilla take over. Amouage Reflection Man (2006) reads as woody garden after rain with a whisper of jasmine, opening on bitter orange leaf and red pepper and drying down to sandalwood, virginia cedar and haitian vetiver. Amouage Outlands (Eau de Parfum, 2024) is described as warm amber and precious spices wrapped in smoky frankincense; the opening brings cardamom and frankincense, and the base settles on amber, vanilla and benzoin.
