Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Violet Musc EDP
Ajmal Violet Musc is a divisive scent - for some, it's a 'love at first sniff' clean and luxurious violet bomb, but for others, the violet plays second fiddle to an overwhelming musk or falls flat altogether. Definitely not a blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Violet Musc by Ajmal EDP
A wallet-friendly nod to Ajmal Violet Musc, leaning on that signature bright white musk and powdery violet. The Perfume Parlour version keeps the creamy floral heart but renders the animalic drydown softer and closer to the skin than the potent original.
