At the very first sniff, i felt like i was in a barnyard. But it’s also very natural, rustic and there is some kind of sawdust smell, which make me feel like i’m in a jungle, and there are some trees are sawed down, and the sun is burning the ground. Sometimes, i feel like i’m in a countryside farm in a very hot summer day, surround by trees and bush. The Barnyard, animalic smell soften down after 1 hour and the scent is very nice, flowery, woody and surprisingly bright. Even though this is Oud scent, i don’t feel any dark in it. It’s bright, like a sunny summer day. Maybe it’s the reason why the bottle design with the shape of the Sun is shining
I adore this scent, from the very opening animalic, barnyard smell to the very flowery sweety in the end. But sometimes, i feel like i’m a farmer when wearing it, so funny
For everyone who are considering, in term of collecting perfume, this will definitely give you a very new experiment of perfume. In term of normal use, this may not what you expect if you are looking for something like M7 oud, Versace oud, Tomford Oud Wood …

Horse pee on soil smell for me but if put on cloths a night before then it gets pretty wearable otherwise its opening is not that easy bearable

Good one

On my skin its a woody-oudy, leather, velvet aroma. This juice has an Initial barn yard blast that fades a bit. Long lasting scent from start to finish +9hrs. After extended wear becomes a bit floral. This is a good oud scent if that’s the scent for the day. I like it…. Will try on clothes to see if the scent changes like previous reviews
4.5 – 5 Due to crazy longevity and price -$70…

This is such a beautiful scent! I’ve had the best experiences when I spray on clothes instead of skin and, if going out with it on, I just do so an hour or two ahead of time. If I apply it on my skin, there are definitely challenges in liking this stuff. But on clothes, especially after a couple of hours, it’s a beautiful creamy scent with red berries in it.
The offputting notes might be from what I’m thinking is indolic white flowers and/or deer musk. My wife hates this one haha.

I am someone who enjoys ‘fragrance journey’ wherein fragrances do not only take me back to the past but also teaches me now how to be more open minded to a large degree. I say that because fragrances or scents have meaning and Ajmal fragrances for me is no doubt a beautiful cultural experience with regards to Oriental fragrances made by and from the Orient.
Oriental is also subjective. What is defined as an Oriental fragrance in Dubai might not be in London.
I love woody scents, always been drawn to sandalwood and incense fragrances because they reflect my S.E. Asian culture. It brings me back to humid days in Asia, wherein temples are filled of scents of flowers and incense — Bali. I also love oud scents, the best ones comes from Cambodia. I have a few mainstream designer oud fragrances which I define as pleasant and I have a few bottles of Ajmal perfume -and this is my first bottle of opulent oud.
I say opulent because as some reviewers wrote that if you are not familiar with oud scents, then it can be a assault to the nose. Do not use this if you are drawn to designer perfumes that prefer to be ‘liked’ (at times to be liked becomes banal), this fragrance needs a mature person to wear who is confident – this is not for the faint hearted.
Spraying one, maximum two- this Mukhallat opens into this strong leatherish scent. But patience is the key. This fragrance evolves into a real Oriental (Arab gentry) oud and floral notes. This is a very warm fragrance that last very long with only a spray or two which lasts for 8-12 hours. If you are interested to know how Oriental fragrances are made by the Orient, then this will take you to that journey. I love this!
After wearing this fragrance for two days I realised that this is better worn on fabric. The gorgeous oud and floral notes becomes very prominent and last for 24-48 hours!!

Don’t honestly know how to start to describe this smell. It’s strong and gets stronger after just one spray on the wrist. I can’t see everyone enjoying this but I feel it’s too soon to pass judgement, the wife however said it’s horrible. If your trained to clean safe smells that are so utterly run of the mill then this will most certainly be off putting. It’s bandaidish, the older bandaids from the 80’s but I kind of like it because it’s so very different than anything I’ve ever smelled before. Today I used Rasasi’s Lil rajal for the first time which lasted all day and was very different but had a similar note in it then I came home eager to smell this and sprayed once. Sometimes certain smells to me at least are more like a sound, this one is loud and I need more time to listen. I am sick of so called eau de toilet water and am abundantly pleased with what I have experienced thus far from Rasasi and now my first Ajmal, I think some reviewers said it right, over here this smell will be loud can’t see a teenager ever using this, stick with the fruity stuff but It would be interesting to smell it on a beautiful woman and see what my mind registers in association since they say it’s unisex… Kouros is odd too but I love that, a different kind of dirty like horse barn. Oud is for sure some ultra powerfull stuff… I need more time to get to know this smell but I think I am quite fond of it thus far..

It’s good perfume but very overrated
marc123 – :
It opens with a strong, pungent, and almost sour oud (more potent than Moattaq), then it slowly weakens and reveals a surprisingly tame sweet creamy floral muskiness (Moattaq is more persistent with the oud). It’s very well blended and you can smell the quality ingredients, but it’s not as rich as anticipated, and somewhat conventional in its genre. I would probably get it if it’s no more than $60, but not at the hyped-up price.

4 days very strong projection after it becomes close to skin fragrance
mroussev – :
Very very similar to cigar by remy latour from begning to till end, but sillage and longavity is very high as compared to cigar. If you have used cigar u will have idea of how this fragrance smelt.
ElenaPerev – :
This is a complicated and challenging juice. If you like your watery ‘aqua di geo’s and your transparent Issey Miyake or Mike Buxton fragrances you will want to steer well clear of this. This is created in an entirely different sensibility, these scents have as much in common with each other as a digeridoo does with a piano – yes they are both instruments but they make very different music. In Europe we are slowly becoming familiar with oudhy ideas through nice releases, and so are vaguely familiar with the unfriendly but fascinating note, and often smell an oud oil on our muslim neighbours or foreign people we may pass in the street. Here in America however, it isn’t something that most people come accross in their daily life and so most have zero frame of reference for it. Where as a Londoner may associate the smell specifically with Arabian people’s culture and style, Americans are free of that association so can perhaps appreciate this more freely than a European could, but are even less familiar with these heavy scents so could be even more polarised, living in a culture where the scent of ‘clean’ is most highly prized above any perfume. I have introduced this scent to a few Americans who agreed it was a total departure from their preconceptions of what a perfume should smell like, but had very interesting and mostly positive things to say about the scent itself – none were repulsed by the oudhy beginning which was actually quite a surprise because it is quite a shocker, with its goatskin-like musky quality and richness swirling around with . As you can imagine, this isn’t easy to wear – you will be very self conscious that you are perfumed and that other people will be scandalized at how you smell! The opening sequence is almost stomach churning, it is so strong, dense, and peculiar. The oudh is definitely unsettling, it has the barnyardy pooey smell that can send people running for the hills (or the soap) but it doesn’t take long for the scent to mellow out and the oudh join in harmoniously singing bass underneath the other notes. It has furry, personable aspects that do smell for lack of a better word like an animal, the kind of enigmatic furry creature that skulks around in the shadows, marks its territory, and slinks back into the night fur shimmering and eyes gleaming. There are boozy, over-ripe facets; a jammy rose; a sandalwoody phase. This does not smell scrubbed or clean, it smells enigmatic, heavy, exotic, opulent, present, strange, ancient, unusual, fashion-forward, heartbreaking, leathery, natural, monied, feral. Although up close it doesn’t smell especially clean, it has been remarked that from a distance it actually does have a very clean effect. At first, the first few hours are, to me, comprised of clearly Eastern scents. I can easily identify this as a wind that has blown in from the east. However, the Americans I have asked for their opinion have not shared that opinion, saying it smells more European than anything, and it could be from anywhere but it definitely isn’t from china or japan. This is a whole new world of perfumery, the quality of the natural ingredients is evident by how complex the smell is and how it seems to morph constantly. It is sometimes a slightly revolting smell (in a fascinating way) but other times it is completely intriguing and I feel I must submit to it, I respect it as an authority higher than my own power. I really like how exotic this is, how completely unusual it is, how strong and long lasting it is, how it changes throughout the day, how it is neither masculine nor feminine, how it speaks of the earth, and not being mired in trends it is unencumbered by the whims of fashion – it is timeless. I would say this is for people age 30+, it is for people who create their own style and are known for innovation and trend setting. Maybe in the east this is a traditional composition but in the west this scent is an outrage and an enigma. And I just asked some more people’s opinion, and they say that it is feminine (!) light (!) and clean (!) which are of course the opposite associations I have for this scent. So that just goes to show that this is a shape-shifting chameleon of a juice. Absolutely worth trying if you enjoy a rewarding challenge!

Mukhallat Shams is One of my Top 5 Favorites Perfumes from House of Ajmal. Number 1 Mukhallat i smelled so far . Hats off to Ajmal Perfumes. All Notes are well placed especially Oud is Good Quality & Slighty toned down to reduce Burnyardish Smell which is there for few minutes then it turns to show its Magic. Sandalwood also plays v good role in this perfume. The Top begins with a Floral-Woody note followed by a Woody-Spicy and base of Musky-Woody. Mukhallat means Mix of Ingredients in Perfume or Mix Notes. Beautiful combination of Oud & Wood with Musk, Floral & Spices Well Blended.
One of Signature Scents in Winter, Spring & Autumn. In Summers i avoid Oudh except on Fridays when i used a lot Oudh Oils (CPO) Perfumes
Can be Worn in All Seasons & Occasions But Ideal for Winter. Projection & Longevity are V Good. Presentation is also V Good. My Rating for this Perfume is 4.9 out of 5.

U want quality stuff, buy this.This is simply gorgeous.Highly recommended.

I daresay that if you haven’t tried Arabic fragrances before, or are not used to them, you might not like this.
I however, cannot get enough of it. To me, this smells like sweet rose and jasmine, mountains of black pepper, sawdust in a cedar logging yard, leather, the corks from red wine bottles and a hint of the smell of a sheep-shed at lambing time. As this fragrance dries down, it gets more peppery, more woody and more dry as the floral top notes dissipate. If anything, it starts feminine and dries down more masculine to a Western nose. It’s worth remembering though, that rose is considered manly on the Arabian Peninsula.

one of the most wonderful mukahalats ever made by ajaml and other companies its one of their flag ships its been in production for almost 20 years and still is going strong for it is a classic mukhalat with a refined edge..
a mukhalat means a blend usually a blend of oud rose amber musk and some saffron or other resins ..this blend is a very special one it can be used all year round its full creamy smoky almost incensy and some one mentioned the faecal part its is not anywhere near the real faecal real oud its a very faint deep smokey opulent almost sweet and floraly yes it is oudy yes it has that characteristics oud smell but not the black utterly faecal one you just need to use it spraigly just a spray or two will last for days its an excellent base for layering its a winter perfume that can be worn all yers round
its a classic refined oud blend that is not as offensive yes it is pungent strong but all in a timid manner compared to other Arabian oils that is..this mukhalat is a royale mukhalat this smell is smelled everywhere in roule weddings and celebrations it almost smells like the pure agar wood incesne mixed with bakhour and a hidden resinous sweetens almost molasy almost velvety oily deep balsamic..i personally have many of those botles and i keep collecting them every couple of years i do smell the difference but they are all wonderful wearable and extremely niche for the price of non niche i believe its about 45 us $ for a 50 ml extremely long lasting jute…i dont like to refer to any perfume as fecal just as in the indolic jasmine can turn fecal repulsive ..oud is an aquried sent that people need to learn to appreciate its not the easiest of scents some might love it some might not some might take time to appreciate it,,but in shams mukhalat its a blend rather than a straight up oud which is much easier appreciated..so for the non oud usesr s i would advise them to start by choosing mukhalats which means blends of oud just as what u smell now adays and for the past ten years in the markets from main stream designers making oud connotations..but in the arbian markets you don’t get much synthetics and you get more pure oild and longevity and sialge for less that quarter the price..

Very strong banyard. I only get indian oud.
Not my cup of tea. I prefer cambodian or borneo style.
The bottle is beautiful.
Fakelok – :
I love this perfume, however I usually apply the night before on clothes, cause its very strong.
madfrag – :
One of the most wonderful mukhalat.
The rose and oudh stays together for more than 16 hours. Is a very complex scent, personally I like it more than Dahn al Oudh Shams.
Don’t apply more than one or maximum two puff, otherwise you will be knocked down.
Mysterious, mischievous and oooh, sooo elegant.
Wonderful and exquisite.
