Primitive Forests by Ajmal, created by perfumer Maxime Exler in 2020, is a captivating Aromatic Spicy fragrance for both women and men. This composition opens with the bright zest of orange and Sicilian lemon, complemented by green notes that evoke a fresh morning walk through a lush forest. The heart reveals geranium's floral touch and spices like ginger and cardamom, creating a dynamic tension between freshness and warmth. The marine and musky base adds depth, grounding the scent in earthy tones of amber.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so they work best when layered. The spicier heart and earthy base develop gradually, making this scent ideal for daytime wear as it evolves subtly throughout the day.
