The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Alf Lail o Lail by Ajmal, crafted by Nazir Ajmal, is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that embodies the rich traditions of Middle Eastern perfumery. The composition opens with fresh floral notes before transitioning into a warm and enveloping base of woody and musky accords, creating an atmosphere of comfort and sophistication. This scent is designed to be both intimate and captivating, reflecting the brand's mastery in blending traditional elements with modern elegance.

How to wear it

Apply Alf Lail o Lail sparingly — its warm base notes develop gradually on skin. Two sprays to the pulse points are sufficient for a full day's wear that evolves from fresh florals to deep warmth.
