Incense Wood by Ajmal

AJMAL INCENSE WOOD: What a piece of perfume, of unsurpassable quality. It seems to be a fragrance aged for several decades, an aroma of woods treated in a sawmill, incensed, and as if fruited with a smoky touch present throughout its life. It is so fine and well-crafted that it stands apart from fragrances even from niche houses; a Tom Ford seems like a child in comparison to this robust, overwhelming, and distinguished aroma, which exudes an air of total superiority in quality. Gentlemen, here is a pure-blooded perfume, of eccentric pedigree, of the highest quality I have ever tried. Such an exquisite combination that it easily takes over the scene and makes it clear that there are levels even within the niche category. Not because it is expensive is it better; there may be more costly works, but in terms of essence, I do not believe I have ever perceived a perfume so extraordinarily well-realised in my life. Especially for cold climates, it is elegant and potent for special occasions. Wonderful, spectacular, simply magnificent and fabulous. For incense lovers, in my taste and knowledge, it is the best. Scent: 10+1. Projection: Good, 3 hours without issue. Longevity: 8 hours on skin, 10 on clothes. Highly recommended.

Last Christmas, my good friend Alberto Durazo gave me a super gift (without diminishing the others, it was the best of the season): a lovely box containing 12 decants from his private collection. I already knew I liked some, and he chose others, and they were all wonderful. But this one in particular (Incense Wood) will be the first I buy once my current supply runs out.

It arrived and I’ve only just tried it, but I believe it’s the most beautiful incense perfume I’ve smelled in a very long time. What quality, what elegance, so crisp and refined—a true spectacle. I’m already smitten and haven’t even had it on for an hour. I’ll update once I’ve used it more, but for now, I can say with total certainty that this is a PERFUMON.

Masterpiece, spectacular. I agree with all the reviews. It is pure refined Oriental opulence, with a magnificent blend where the incense is the star, adding that smoky and resinous touch. It has a certain sweetness and creaminess, and its performance on the skin is brutally good. One of the best tried overall. Bravo Ajmal!

Exquisite! It seems like a blend of Black Afgano and the incense from Loewe 7, with a touch of rare but rich smoked paprika. I don’t know how to explain it, it is the best I’ve tried in the Arab niche category.
