Just gorgeous
Ajmal Saffron smells exactly as the color of the bottle... if that makes sense. It's a beautiful deep dark red fragrance.
It opens with a strong and slightly funky oud, rose and a fruity nuance. The oud will dominate for the first hour before giving way to other elements. Rose is and will be there, but in second place.
After a while, a nice saffron comes out for about 2 hours, a bit sweet and not sharp at all. Its behavior is strange playing a sort of hide and seek, because it never become obvious, which it's a plus.
The crowning stroke is... the pineapple. I always try to take my time and analize my fragrances without reading the notes to push my poor knowledge, but I couldn't understand this one until I read the pyramid. It's so juicy and - in my mind - so out of place that it shouldn't work, but somehow it's flawless. Unexpected.
The dry down is marvelous. The oud and saffron creates this deep velvety aura with a touch of rose and the juiciness of the pineapple. Lovely fragrance indeed.
Some people compare it with Faqat lil Rijal from Rasasi, but they are not the same. FLR is way more floral and bright, cleaner, muskier and linear. Meanwhile, Ajmal Saffron is more natural, fruity, darker and with better quality ingredients. You can say they are brother and sister. Not redundant at all.
Performance is excellent. +12 hours on my skin. Projection is moderate and sufficient for this type of fragrances.
