In this edition, we have the likes of Abdulla Ajmal, Chris Pickthall, coming forward with their recommendations on best of 2018…
ABDULLA AJMAL
Owner, Ajmal Perfumes
Oudesire
Notes: Top: Floral Fresh Heart: Spicy Fruity Base: Ambery Woody Musky
This fragrance stays very close to my heart. It is inspired by one of the fragrance created by my uncle and perfumer, the late Nazir Ajmal. Every time I wear it, I feel myself engulfed in the warmth of his presence, which resonates the floral freshness, basking in Amber, Oudh and Musk.
Amber Wood
Notes: Top: Fruity Spicy Heart: Woody Base: Ambery Woody
This one is from our signature series. It is a masterpiece that revels in warmth of Amber surrounded by spicy, fruity, woody notes. A fragrance that leaves a stamp of oriental magic just by your presence anywhere and everywhere. It is a fragrance that makes an instant impact and lets your presence and taste speak for themselves through its pure richness. A must have.
Amber Musc
Notes: Top: Floral Heart: Musky Ambery Base: Ambery Woody Musk
Musc belongs to one of the signature fragrances of this region. A luminous blend with a floral top note comprised of rose, blended to perfection with warmth of amber and the serenity of musk.
Aristocrat (Him)
Notes: Top: Citrus Fresh Heart: Floral Musky Base: Musky Woody Ambery
Another Ajmal icon in the making, aristocrat Him is a sophisticated fragrance featuring freshness of bergamot and watermelon entwined wit floral musky notes, on a base of patchouli, cedarwood, amber and a hint of oudh.
Aurum (Her)
Notes: Top: Fresh Fruity Heart: Fruity Floral Spicy Base: Woody Musky Powdery
We launched this gem in 2011 and it has been a golden success for us. A beautiful accord that has all the elements, richness, spice, fruit-induced sweetness that lingers almost forever. A must-have for women from all walks of life, a fragrance that truly transcends cultures.
