The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Black Onyx by Ajmal launched in 2016 as a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. This composition opens with bright bergamot and pineapple, creating an initial freshness that contrasts beautifully with the deeper tones of galbanum and geranium. The heart notes of lily-of-the-valley and lavender add an intriguing layer of floral complexity, while vetiver, cedar, and oakmoss form a grounding base that evokes earthy warmth and sophistication. Ajmal’s expertise in blending traditional Middle Eastern aromatics with modern sensibilities is evident here, resulting in a scent that is both contemporary and lasting.

How to wear it

Black Onyx has moderate longevity and sillage, so apply it in two light sprays to allow each layer to unfold throughout the day. The citrus and fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, making way for a more enduring woody base that settles comfortably close to the skin.
