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.

Noble Hammer
The scent starts off like a urine-soaked cow barn and transforms into a noble fragrance after about 30 minutes. Imagine intensely fragrant agricultural wood wrapped in a silk cloth soaked with rose oil. Very cool. It reminds me a lot of Jean Lowe Noir or Ombré Nomade. But I'm not a professional sniffer, so please excuse my amateur interpretation.

Rosy Tom Ford Oud Wood
When you hear the name Saffron, the first thing that comes to mind is a scent that primarily has to do with it... However, in my opinion, the perfume has absolutely nothing to do with saffron.

This was also confirmed by the only YouTuber who reviewed it.

Most rose/oud fragrances are very similar, or you think to yourself

"Smelled this dozens of times already."

Here, however, it's something new.
As mentioned in the title, it's more of a Tom Ford Oud Wood alternative with rose & amber and a subtle animalic note. It sounds strange at first, but I was pleasantly surprised that it works so well.

The oud doesn’t smell fecal, but it will probably be difficult for beginners.

Otherwise, there’s not much to say about the Saffron, as it doesn’t change at all and follows a straight line.

I had to think for a moment about where I recognize certain nuances from, and then I remembered Bortnikoff's Oud Maximus, which for me smelled very unpleasantly like stinky cheese; here, however, the parallels are absolutely pleasant and well-executed.

The bottle and the craftsmanship with the sprayer are made to a very high standard, including the packaging. For me, this is once again proof that you can get high-quality fragrances at reasonable prices.

Once again, a typical blind buy that, thank goodness, was not a flop haha :))

Dark-bitter rose oud combo + animalistic opening. Quality 10/10. Slightly sour in the middle & a warm, soft dream towards the end. Intense!

Pleasant yet strong oud scent, unfortunately lacking in complexity.
It's not too animalic, no trace of saffron.
Sillage and longevity are very good.

Sour rose-oud saffron blend. Feels very familiar, yet remains unique. Musty start, dirty rose. H/S typically Arabic - brutal.

Beautiful oud scent. Animalic as expected from Ajmal, but this one has a lovely pleasant finish. Slightly spicy, with rose coming through. H/S Brutal.

Quality is very well crafted, Oud is delicately balanced and doesn’t come off too animalistic. Pleasant fruitiness!!!
No saffron.
