Perfume Hatkora Wood is a rich woody fragrance composed of semi-wild citruses (Hatkora lemon), enriched with sweet oil from lemon skins. The composition opens with citrusy notes of Hatkora wild lemon originating from Assam, Mizoram and Maupur, brought specially for creating this fragrance and combined with sweet fruity notes of peach and luminous lemon. The heart of the composition pulsates in a rhythm of spices and flowers, blending ginger, saffron, rose and lavender in a single fragrant unity. The base is hot and woody, created as a blend of woody amber, out, sandalwood, musk and ambergris.
The fragrances will be available on the market starting from June 2014, as 100 ml Eau de Parfum in black flacons with name tags in gold color.

A breathtakingly gorgeous Citrus Oud fragrance unlike anything I have seen in modern perfumery, this bright and lively juice showcases the potency of semi-wild citrus (Hatkora) oil which is primarily grown in Northeastern India, an amazingly potent fruit peel that yields an amazingly haunting oil never before used in perfumery. This beauty opens with the gorgeous Hatkora lemon (stays throughout period of perfume) and peach and then proceeds to a brief middle comprising of rose, ginger, saffron and lavender before settling into a powdery and somewhat animalic base with Oud, ambergris, musk, and amber with the lemon still potently hanging firmly in the mix. The combination of the Hatkora lemon with the Oud is so unique and so refreshing which makes this one Oud scent you can easily wear in hot and sultry weather. Tremendous projection, sillage, and very good longevity. This is a masterpiece!

I heard hymns for this scent, everyone had good things to say. I was expecting to blow me away but nothing happened. It’s nice, I like it very much and I’m thinking of buying it, but it’s not a groundbreaking scent. The good thing about it, it’s this dominant lemony-green-woody vibe which is unique. Moreover, this is not a beast by any means. Sillage is high-moderate. I’ll update about its longevity, I’m still evaluating it.
Hatkora Wood is all about a citrusy green scent on a light woody base. Oud? Not even traces. I can feel plain woody notes along with beautiful and delicate lemony-green note. Quality is here. Trully it differs from the rest Ajmal creations. It could be a release from Bond No9 house, in fact it reminds me this house as for the smell/feeling.
Other noticeable notes are ambergis, lavender, musk, sandalwood and amber. Rose, saffron and ginger are at the background supporting this beautiful scent.
This is a gorgeous, simple, smooth and totally unisex lemony-green scent, suitable for mild warm weather, mainly daytime and summer evenings.
I’ve tried it in an official dealer of Ajmal house.
Update
First wearing, longevity is between 5-6 hours. No more. I heard that it’s a beast. It isn’t. But I’ll try it again the next days.
Update
After 3 full wearings the longevity remains the same. So it’s not a beast anymore. But it is above the average for a citrusy scent. Still worth a fb if you like the way it smells because it’s different from lemon based scents.

Mine is 12/2016 batch, this is really sharp in the very beginning. More than 2 sprays of this is disturbing. However, its bitterness fades away approximately after an hour and a half. From the 3rd hour it starts projecting woodsy and soapy with the finest ingredients that I’ve ever smelled, which is very fresh and you never be sated with its smell, especially if you don’t really like sweet notes, this oud is right for you. One great advantage of this perfume is you can wear it all seasons in the climates like İstanbul’s.
I sprayed it in the morning at 8:00 am, it was still projecting to me at 19:00. The sillage should be less than an arms length.
I bought it also because of 40% discount, it deserves 4,5 out of five for its price.

I love it and makes me day-dreaming! It is really masterpiece and my favorite from the Ajmal wood creations.
Hatkora lemon (or its wood) is so rare and I know it from this perfume. It is zesty at its opening, but the dry down is very creamy and comforting.
And it lasts, lasts, lasts…

Its Starts off Strong Notes of Citrus especially Hatkora then mixes with Woody Notes especially Amberwood & Sandalwood, I don’t get agarwood probably toned down.
Great Smell & Excellent Compliment Getter and Performance and Longevity is Great.
Prominent & Strong Notes are Hatkora, Amberwood, Sandalwood & Lavender.
Ajmal has good reputation blending ingredients v well, Its is my personal opinion. It is one of top 10 ten summer scents. Projection & Sillage is Beast, Perfume stay for 7 to 8 hours depending on skin & climate where you live. Here in UAE & Gulf It Projects more than 7 Hours. Got this perfume after consulting Reputed Frag Head & Good Friend Nikhil.
Packing & Presentation is Good.
My Rating is 4.2 out of 5.

Now I ve spent a lot of time with this brilliant gem from Ajmal. A stunning, unique, occidental creation for the global connoisseurs of serious perfumery. A top qualify unique fragrance with bright dense bergamot laced with sweet luscious fruit accord, sweet amber, dense sandalwood. I dont pick up any Oud. One of the few true orientals which everyone can wear comfortably in any weather but best in high heat or spring. A 100 ml bottle can be passed on over generations lol. The longevity is off the roof. It was also given a nod by the much respected nose and blogger Kafkaesque. One of the best Niche scents.

Longevity: 12 hours and more
Fills a room
Smells ok. It’s clean and creamy like a lemon meringue cheesecake and yes like others have mentioned it is also slightly tart
This is unisex and so it wasn’t made to be so masculine and strong but it is still on the masculine side and women might not be able to pull this off. It has a typical sandalwood note that comes from most ajmal perfumes and there is a slightly sour citrus note. In most fragrances the citrus note goes early on but this keeps the citrus note for a very long time and there is not a whole lot of oud in here but I am sure that someone with a more trained nose can pick it out.
It can be worn all year round in a climate controlled environment because the citrus gives it freshness and the sandalwood compliments it therefore i can say that it is blended well and the individual notes are not something i can dissect out of it.
the only problem for me is the sour, tart citrus as it takes a whole day for it to become less tart and wearable for me.

This did not last on my skin. In my opinion this line is way overpriced, I smelled all of them (black and white bottles) and was not impressed. I found it to be overly sweet and not long lasting.

I bought this last week. On the website i chose the Santal wood version and they sent me this . I sprayed it 1 time on my skin and i didn’t like it. I want to sell this bottle ASAP to buy the santal wood version of Ajmal. Its a 100 ml bottle and i want to sell it for 100 euros.

I just purchased this fragrance . Very expensive, but not much going on except the skittles type smell, that the previous reviewer mentioned . My fragrance hardly lasts . I’m wondering if I received a knockoff, fake ?
