Problem is, it does not please me. i really despise it. IMHO
may be due to nasal fatigue or mine sense of perception about fragrances. it’s sister Mukhallat al shams , however, is lovely.

According to the Ajmal website, this perfume is based on Indian Oud, not Cambodian.

i just loved it, what an amazing scent.
they used a cambodian OUD on this perfume and its a little bit lighter than Dahn Oudh Al Shams special addition which they used on it an indian OUDH instead of cambodian OUDH.
both are great.
10/10

strong strong oudh in its unadulterated form. initial spray with perfume (also available as oil) hits you with alcohol spirit but that vanishes in around five minute mark leaving behind oudh in all its mighty glory.

I got a good experience by putting it on the night before and layering it with an intense rose, namely Amouage Epic Woman extrait. It’s so foul for so long but so good later. As others note, it’s quite lasting on fabric. One or two sprays is enough. The atomizer itself is top notch, spraying a very fine mist. I placed it on my belly under layers of clothing. It wafts well in colder weather. Over-apply it just minutes before leaving the house in hot weather on your neck, wrists, or other bare, exposed skin and you and those around you will suffer untold consequences.

Having tested, recently, a fair number of Ajmal creations around the oud(h) theme, I feel pretty confident to say that they all share the same type of oil. I do not have the knowledge to define this particular oud oil or designate its origin (natural or synthetic), but it is fairly obvious that in its primordial state it is extremely potent and as close as it can get to the real thing.
Ajmal, being a true artist, subsequently decides how this oil is morphed in each and every perfume he makes. In Dahn Al Oudh Moattaq, for example, he chooses to use rose, herbs & spices while in Mukhallat Shams his preference lies around floral & musky notes, in order to manipulate the oud’s animalic personality.
Well, Dahn Oudh Al Shams seems to be all about oud. A sort of “solioud” type of perfume that opens extremely potent attacking the wearer relentlessly with all of oud’s badass features. “Fecal”, “barnyard”, “cow dung”, “horse stable”, “cat piss”, “pigsty”, “skanky”, you name it ! I cannot even imagine the look on the face of someone unfamiliar with oud actually testing this. It could even be a great idea for those “candid camera” type of pranks. The word “oudh” in Ajmal perfumes is nothing like “aoud” in, say, Montale’s fragrances. An entirely different concept.
After the initial blast, the oud note starts to soften, retracting its claws much faster than initially expected. As time passes, DOAS starts to gradually turn more woody, earthy, herbal, musky & warm creating a kind of primitive carnal aura around the wearer. It is purely subjective then on, whether this opulence will be perceived as sensual or repulsive.
As much as uncompromising & challenging this pungent ingredient may be, it is an olfactory wonder to my senses.

at last found the proper strong Indian Oud the way it should be and the away i prefer it. two puffs and i can smell it really strong, it stays on clothes for two days. i had to tell my friend to buy it for me from Saudi Arabia and it costed me £40.
i am loving it.

This is a perfect compliment to your oud oil collection.
As everybody knows, pure oud oil is very expensive and Dahn Oud al Shams is an alternative if you want an EDP that really smells like oud.
The first hours it can be to strong for some ppl. At the beginning a woody, light medical oud take place. But it fades away after a while and left is just a natural scent of woody/spicy/leathery oud from the Indian spectra.
I prefer to spray it on my clothes the night before using them. It will stay for a week on clothes and at least 24h on the skin.

I love this fragrance, if you can buy one product from Ajmal, this is the one, if you are into oudh of course, as it is definitely not for every nose. The way to use it as it was explaned to me by Ajmal representative is to spray yourself/clothes the night beforeas the drydown very mild and smooth… but I like to use it before I go, it is a gorgeous fragrance indeed, sorry ya’ll oudh haters 🙂

This is a STRONG perfume!
It’s so strong, that if you spray a little too much & go into a car, you’ll need to roll down the windows!
It’s oud. Strong, woody, uncompromising oud.
High quality stuff, but it’s too woody & too strong for my taste.
The best thing about it is: the price for such high quality, the longevity, & the sillage (projection).
I would NOT recommend a blind buy, especially if you are not into oud, and it’s not a safe gift. Don’t buy it as a gift. The receiver may never wear it!

this is the smell of real oud. i’ve bought real oud from ensar oud and agar aura and this smell identical to those on offer from these sellers. that said, i’m not all that keen on this smell, it is quite an acquired taste, but when you do ‘get it’, it makes perfect sense. this sorta smell is beyond your “i love _____ scents” kinda rationale with perfume. oud perfumes ARE soothing. they do calm you and they do have this otherworldly quality to them. it took me a solid month of wearing oud perfumes at home and to work before i got it, and when you reach that stage, oud perfumes are awesome.
with that in mind, there’s precious little else to this other than oud. it’s oud all the way. it smells more like that south east asian ouds (thai and cambodian). there’s nothing else to this scent. i dare say it wouldn’t appeal to many people. but it is what it is…

I gave this a few sprays before reviewing it, and if this is authentic oudh, I want to run away from myself. My wrists smell like I’ve rubbed them in a baby’s nappy of the brown variety! Underneath all the faeces, I kind of detect a slightly burned myrrh note.
I sprayed some onto a tissue and took it to work to get my colleagues’ opinions. One said it smelled like s**t, and the other one said it smelled sweet, and so it just goes to show how our olfactory senses differ wildly!
I’m guessing that a lot of oudhs out there have been softened to appeal to western noses, and I have a sneaking suspicion that if I wore this in public, people would give me a wide berth – I won’t chance it.
Even after scrubbing my wrists with soap I can still smell it. Once again, I’ve wasted my money on another blind buy. Peeyeeew!! Will I ever learn? The only redeeming factor is the lovely bottle.
Edit: I’ve done the unforgiveable and sprayed a couple of squirts of this and then filled up the atomiser with Jovan Intense Oud to try to soften the blast of poo. It’s more approachable, but still that pooey note is an undertone that just won’t lie down and die.

Ok…I got it ….tried it. I also purchased Syed Junaid Oud Bakhakh. Both hit you with a whallop….use very sparingly. Better to spritz in the air and let the spray fall on you.
Ajmal Oud is sweeter….while Syed Junaid is more woody. Prefer the latter although the former has a better reputation.

One of the best that Ajmal offers; a beautiful oud scent.
