The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2011 by Nazir Ajmal, Khallab is a unisex Oriental fragrance that exemplifies the mastery of perfume making for which Ajmal is renowned. The composition opens with vibrant citrus notes, balanced by fresh and warm spices, creating an immediate sense of brightness and warmth. At its heart lies oud, a rich and complex accord that anchors the scent with deep, smoky undertones. This is further enhanced by a soft rose note, adding a touch of floral elegance to the woody base. The result is a fragrance that is both modern and lasting, perfect for those who appreciate the intricate layers of an Oriental blend.

How to wear it

Given its strong sillage and eternal longevity, apply Khallab with intention — one or two sprays is enough to make a lasting impression. The fragrance blooms best close to skin, so avoid over-application and let it develop naturally throughout the day.
