The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Ahbab by Ajmal is a composition that balances the fresh vibrancy of citrus with the warmth and depth of woody notes, creating an intriguing interplay between lightness and richness. Perfumer Nazir Ajmal skillfully blends bergamot and rose to form an aromatic and floral heart that transitions seamlessly into a base of musk and cedarwood. This fragrance is emblematic of Ajmal's mastery in blending traditional Middle Eastern olfactory traditions with modern sensibilities.

How to wear it

Apply Ahbab with two light sprays — the bergamot and rose top notes are bright but fleeting. Allow time for the musky base to emerge, providing lasting warmth throughout the day. Best worn in settings where its subtle elegance can be appreciated.
