The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Created by Nazir Ajmal, Al Shams Special Edition is an Oriental Woody fragrance that embodies the essence of Ajmal's mastery in perfumery. The composition centers around a powerful oud note, which serves as the foundation for a fresh and spicy top layer. This contrast creates a dynamic interplay between warmth and vibrancy, making it suitable for both day and night.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience. The fresh spiciness fades within an hour, so reapply as needed to maintain its dynamic character throughout the day.
