Launched in 2011, Misk Al Oudh by Ajmal is a fragrance that embodies the house’s mastery of perfume making. Perfumer Nazir Ajmal crafted this Oriental scent with an emphasis on rich and complex accords like oud, musky notes, powdery undertones, fresh spicy elements, and animalic nuances. The composition opens with the distinctive warmth of oud, which is then complemented by a blend of musk and powder that adds depth and sophistication.

Application Tips
Apply Misk Al Oudh in light layers to allow its rich accords to unfold gradually. The powdery base notes take time to bloom fully, so waiting an hour before reapplying can enhance the overall experience.
