Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

The year 2016 gave us Hafa Ajmal. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the east, floral, and gourmet families. The talent of Abdulla Ajmal is written all over this bottle. In oil-based perfume — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. In terms of longevity, it sits at moderate — long enough to make a real impression. Made in the United Arab Emirates. Hafa Ajmal unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich oil-based perfume composition with a soft opening, high durability, and an intimate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Hafa is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Ajmal is evident from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Oil-based perfume emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The internal accord map is built around these accords: Gourmet, Floral, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Background accords such as Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. For persistence Middle indicates a stable lasting impression.
Without strict stage separation the opening appears as one connected movement with a lush white floral mood: Ambergris, Dark Chocolate, Jasmine, Neroli, Patchouli, Rose and Vanilla.
The middle and base stages are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Ambery, Sweet, Whiteflower and Floral. It also reaches into Wood, Gourmet, Musk and Drinks.
Overall Hafa sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint.
