The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Distraction by Ajmal launched in 2008 as part of the brand's portfolio, known for its mastery of perfume making over six decades. This fragrance opens with bright red currant and pineapple, creating a sweet and fruity freshness that transitions into a heart of violet and pink pepper, adding subtle spiciness and floral notes. The base is warm and enveloping, featuring vanilla, dark chocolate, amber, and musk, which create a comforting and powdery finish.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays on pulse points for a balanced experience. The fruity top notes are fleeting but vibrant, while the musky base lingers softly throughout the day.
