Strings of Oud — Ajmal’s Oriental Depth
Strings of Oud Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance by Ajmal, released in 2026.
This Eau de Parfum belongs to the fougère and spicy fragrance families, combining expressive greenery, dry woody nuances, resinous incense, and a soft tobacco-vanilla base.
The name evokes a distinctive Oriental aesthetic in which the fragrance unfolds with richness, warmth, and multiple layers.
Ajmal is a perfume house with a strong Oriental heritage, where traditional ingredients meet a modern interpretation of fragrance composition.
Strings of Oud continues this DNA without becoming heavy or excessively sweet: thanks to wormwood, cypress, and spices, it retains freshness, composure, and a noble dryness.
The Fragrance’s Character and Development
The composition was created by perfumer Philippine Courtière.
From the first seconds, Strings of Oud unfolds with spicy green notes: cardamom gives the opening a cool aromatic quality, Madagascar pepper adds a sparkling sharpness, and wormwood creates a bitter herbal nuance.
This energetic opening quickly draws attention without seeming harsh.
In the heart of the composition, cypress, incense, and geranium emerge.
Cypress accentuates the dry woody profile, incense adds smoky resinous depth, while geranium contributes a subtle floral touch and gives the fragrance greater dimension.
Gradually, the fragrance becomes calmer, warmer, and softer while retaining a distinct character.
The finish is built around cedar, tobacco, and bourbon vanilla.
Cedary dryness supports the fougère structure, the tobacco note adds noble tartness, and vanilla rounds out the composition with creamy spiciness.
As a result, Strings of Oud leaves an expressive, warm, and slightly smoky trail that unfolds particularly beautifully on the skin in cool air.
Longevity, Sillage, and Wearability
The fragrance has a noticeable sillage: it is easily perceived around the wearer and may attract compliments without turning into an uncontrolled cloud when applied moderately.
This Eau de Parfum will appeal to those who enjoy woody-spicy compositions with a green opening, incense depth, and a soft tobacco-vanilla drydown.
Strings of Oud is presented as a unisex fragrance and can sound equally natural on women and men.
The most suitable occasions include evening outings, cool walks, business settings, and special occasions when you want to emphasize composure and individuality.
In warm weather, it is best applied more sparingly, while in autumn and winter its rich base unfolds especially harmoniously.
For application to the skin, it is best to spray the fragrance so that you step into its cloud without overwhelming the composition.
One or two sprays are enough for clothing: fabrics retain woody, spicy, and balsamic nuances for longer, so the trail may last longer as well.
The intensity of the fragrance’s development depends on temperature, humidity, and individual skin characteristics.
What to Compare Strings of Oud With
If you enjoy complex compositions with woody, spicy, and resinous accents, take a look at Edgardio Chilini Cafeier, as well as Emporium Step 9 and Edgardio Chilini Silver Olibanum.
They may be interesting choices for further exploring fragrances in which depth, expressive sillage, and the combination of warm and cool nuances are important.
