Ajmal

Ajmal Perfumes is one of the most established perfume houses in the Middle East, with a history dating back to the early 1950s. Founded by Haji Ajmal Ali in Assam, India—one of the world's key regions for natural agarwood—Ajmal built its foundation on the sourcing and distillation of oud oil, eventually relocating its headquarters to the United Arab Emirates. The brand is recognized for its mastery of traditional attars, rich oriental compositions, and high-quality natural ingredients. Ajmal's fragrance catalog spans hundreds of creations across attars, concentrated perfume oils, sprays, and luxury lines. While oud remains central to the house's identity, Ajmal has also developed modern aromatic, fresh, fruity, and gourmand fragrances to appeal to international markets. Their ability to bridge traditional artisanal perfumery with contemporary tastes has allowed Ajmal to expand significantly across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. The brand operates manufacturing facilities in the UAE and maintains a substantial retail presence throughout the Gulf region. Ajmal perfumes frequently feature saffron, amber, rose, musk, sandalwood, patchouli, and signature oud accords, often with notable depth and long-lasting performance. Many compositions are unisex and crafted with a focus on cultural heritage and olfactory storytelling. In recent years, Ajmal has introduced several modern lines aimed at younger audiences and global buyers, balancing luxury presentation with accessibility. With decades of expertise and a strong reputation for quality, Ajmal remains a key reference point for lovers of Middle Eastern perfumery and traditional oud craftsmanship.
