Launched in 2023, Ajyal by The Spirit of Dubai offers an intricate blend of freshness and warmth. Perfumer Asghar Adam Ali crafts a composition where sea notes and rain notes create a crisp aquatic opening, punctuated by the brightness of grapefruit, lemon, and lime. This freshness is balanced by warm accords like amberwood, white musk, and brown sugar, which provide a comforting base that lingers long after the initial spritz.

Application Tips
Apply Ajyal lightly — its top notes are bright and fresh but fade within an hour. The warm base notes take over after that, so it’s best to let them develop naturally throughout the day.
Asghar Adam Ali
Founding perfumer · 1 fragrances
Asghar Adam Ali was born in 1953 in Aden, Yemen, into a fragrance family — his father a perfumer, his mother a maker of perfumes and bakhoors who tested her creations on him as a child. In 1969, at 16, he founded Nabeel Perfumes as a small Aden shop, relaunching it in the UAE in 1990 after political unrest forced his family's relocation; in 2019 he unveiled Shumukh, a diamond-and-gold-adorned perfume that set Guinness World Records as the most expensive fragrance, and in 2024 launched Asghar Adam Ali Parfums under his own name.
