In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Ajmal Dawn is a bright citrus opening that quickly turns into a soft floral musky scent. Rose and jasmine sit over a warm amber glow, then the dry down leans clean, powdery and woody with musk, moss and sandalwood. It usually reads fresh and easy to wear, more daytime than nightlife, and a good pick if you like a musk…

Reviews →

Nabeel's Crown Of Emirates blends thick leather with sweet litchi and a heavy dose of rose water. It is a dense, Middle Eastern style fragrance that works best in cold weather or formal evening settings. The drydown reveals a soft oud and sandalwood base that lingers on the skin for hours.
