The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Pearlescent Black by Ajmal was launched in 2017 and stands as an elegant blend of woody, musky, and white floral accords. The fragrance opens with a bright burst of white florals that soon give way to deeper powdery and animalic notes, creating a complex interplay between freshness and depth. This composition is emblematic of Ajmal's 60-year legacy in mastering the art of perfume making, offering a distinctive niche within Middle Eastern perfumery.

How to wear it

Pearlescent Black is best applied in a single generous spritz to allow its complex layers to unfold gradually. The fragrance develops most harmoniously when worn close to skin rather than spread across a room, making it ideal for daytime wear.
