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

Abdulla Ajmal holds the distinction of being the first of the third generation of his family to join their family business of perfumes. For him the ideal contemporary fragrance is a beautiful blend of notes that features the perfect balance between fresh, younger notes, and a more mature and earthly aroma.

 


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.
