Founded in 1951 by Haji Ajmal Ali, a former rice farmer who became a perfumer, Ajmal began in Mumbai trading oud and fragrant oils. The house soon supplied the Gulf before expanding its boutiques across the Middle East. Passed down to the second and then the third generation, it continues its international expansion today, drawing on its Indian and Arabic heritage.
Ajmal draws on a historic knowledge of oud, attars and natural materials, with an integrated approach spanning the cultivation and selection of ingredients through to their distillation. The house combines this heritage with high-quality synthetic molecules and more contemporary interpretations, often resulting in a warm, woody and amber style.
Right now at Fragsplit, 2 Ajmal fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants: Amber Wood, Hayba.
