Ajmal 1001 Nights is an Eau de Parfum, created by Nazir Ajmal. 1001 Nights settles into a heart of Floral Notes and Spicy Notes, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Musk. Ajmal's 1001 Nights carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, a beast of an Arabian oud that demands an experienced nose. If you can push past the initial 'barnyard' funk, it unfolds into something truly magnificent and utterly unique.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its potent projection and unique, challenging opening make it completely unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear. It shines on a date or for a formal event, especially if you're aiming for a bold, distinctive statement, but only after it's had time to settle.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Prepare for a rich, challenging journey. This scent kicks off with an intense, animalic oud, bold and uncompromising. As it settles, smoky and warm spices emerge, melding with a musky heart that hints at deep comfort, before a subtle floral whisper softens the edges. The dry down is a powerful, lingering woody musk, a testament to its authentic Arabian roots.
