The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

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.

How to wear it

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.
