Today tested it, havnt bought and not going to.
It smells like Kulfi, you know what is it? its an indian/pakistani icecream with a high dose of Cardamon, saffron and pistachio made in milk. So the spices note that are mentioned here are of that. The same note is used in TF Nior Extreme (Kulfi) so most probably they tried copying that.
Performance is superb…

@Ourfrank
Thank You for responding to my comment. Very helpful to know.
I’ve dealt with these types of situations before and my hunch is :
1. It was never a great fragrance and just hyped here to get you to buy it.
2. It was reformulated
3. It is old stock/bad batch
Neither one is a good outcome. You need to also remember these are “weird” fragrances that you can’t go to Macy’s or Bloomingdales to buy. There is a good reason for that ? You take a risk with these.
My bottle is already in the trash. I would never gift it nor wear it.
Just a silly impulse buy from me that should have gone to food versus my online shopping addiction 🙂

@thatnakesscents I acquired my bottle through a swap and my experience is similar to yours. My liquid is clear and it smells very alcoholic off top. I was certain that it was fake. It’s very strong but it’s not a really pleasant scent. My bottle of Encre noir smells almost the same. Hmm maybe they were not the real deal.

This is what I call a NONE fragrance.
Beneath the thick layer of Alcohol is a pleasant peppery/spicy odor that could be even more interesting if it was LOUDER, but it isn’t. No one will smell this including you unless you bury your nose INTO your skin. Even then the smell is FAINT.
My bottle has water clear liquid and looks differently than the photo above.
A waste of $45.

Extremely surprised by the quality and the aristocratic spirit which is delivered by this excellent perfume. It seems to be felt like Hermes Voyage in richer edition. The spices are always on giving a fresh and expensive feeling, while guaiac wood keeps it luxurious. Great perfume in a vey low price. Totally worth!!!

Am a user of Yves saint laurent.
This totally reminds me the Ysl la nuit de lhomme perfume.
Perfectly the same and a bit better to my choice

This smells so good I fainted my grandma was crying she thought I had passed away. Man can’t get over how great this is. Each time I take a breath I feel like I’m floating. Just get it you won’t be disappointed

Love this fragrance. A perfect blend of Oud and ambre. I think for someone starting with a light oud based scent, it could be the perfect choice. it is not overwhelming like other hardcore oud fragrances but still it is a strong one that stays for atleast 6-8 hrs. Overall the perfume is elegant and draws alot of attention.

This is not a full review in detail but some thoughts on this wonderful scent. It is a love from first sniff, a hidden gem for me!!! A true masculine arabic summer scent quite underrated (and a true unisex for the western perfume philosophy).. fragranticans from arabic countries will feel that. It takes some time to judge it, you must wait for 1-2 minutes to settle down. Definitely there are more notes than those listed. I get rose, light oud, bergamot, sandalwood, saffron, cardamom (it reminds me the hermes voyage as for the cardamom).. I’m still evaluating it. It’s not linear, it changes through time but the light oud, amber and rose on a woody base, never fade out. Close your eyes and smell it.. what comes to your mind? A classy and expensive smell. It’s unbelievable and very affordable. It has strong performance but it’s not a beast. I get about 7-8 hours from it. Suitable for spring, day and night and cool summer evenings. It’s too strong for very high temperatures. And the bottle I have is different from the photo above.
Update – Similar scent.
If you like this Ajmal, give a try to Cher Tetu by Naso di Raza house.

Excellent fragrance. Fairly linear but doubt many would find this offensive. I have received several compliments in two wearings. I detect alot of pepper and cedar over the amber. Here the amber isn’t overly sweet, it just holds the wood and spice together nicely and somehow the notes do add a pimento vibe. I am enjoying this fragrance. Very inexpensive and long lasting with very good projection.
kameshkoff – :
A fantastic fresh scent for men. There is some sweetness in the opening, which makes my senses tingle, it is so pleasant, that it makes me smile. I’ve gone through hundreds of niche scents (and just as many designers), but this one of the best openings I’ve ever smelled.
Unfortunately, that sweet citric accord fades away in minutes, leaving a skin scent that has none of the vibe mentioned before. It’s still nice, but not nice enough for me to buy. If it didn’t change so drastically, I would instantly get it.
fazza – :
9/10. Nice powerful scent!
detroitred – :
i think its the best unisex from this house!!! stunning essence with power and longevity !! real EDP here
f1zzo – :
I absolutely love this fragrance. It stands out among other Ajmal frags. It is strong and long lasting, not that other ones are not Amber Pimente is just louder and more noticeable. I found it works better in hot weather, I can say the same for other Ajmals frags and oils perhaps it has something to do with the weather where it comes from… Amber is definitely the most pronounced note. It does change a bit over time, it becomes softer.
Userengaggelo – :
Love it….Projection and longevity are superb.Smells energetic.
CHEGODAEVAKATERINA – :
i hated this one at first but later i fell in love with this masterpiece by ajmal. bought it for 180 AUD i think few years ago from dubai duty free, and trust me it worths every single cent.
Timur-95 – :
Can anyone give options on where this fragrance can be bought?
arivena – :
Im falling in love at first sniff! Warm, spicy, musky as well. Bold and heavy smell make me think it is for man. Glad it is unisex.
bobanix – :
love this scent. Projection and longevity are good
osmanov – :
Such a beautiful scent I really love it ( unisex )
barakuda721 – :
Such a beautiful scent and very underrated from Ajmal.
The scent doesn’t change a lot over the phases, it starts warm,creamy, balsamic, deep smooth notes of amber and spices, musky as well, i can’t identify the cedar wood notes. I also have to add that i do smell a strong vibe of Oud which starts from the second phase, very subtle but it starts to grow stronger till the end.
May be more conventioneer for a woman than a man, yet this is should not a man from trying it. Should be tried before buying, as it is a very bold/strong perfume, i think it’s EDP, i personally love it but couldn’t find it in me to wear it.
