Ajmal Carbon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Nazir Ajmal. Carbon opens with Citrus and Lavender, settles into a heart of Violet and Clove, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Patchouli. Ajmal's Carbon carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Ajmal Carbon is a crowd-pleasing, understated classic for those who value subtlety over shouting, but don't expect it to last longer than your morning commute. Often deemed a bit 'generic' but in a good way - it’s an agreeable, fresh musk that’s unlikely to offend.

About

Opens with a brisk, clean burst of citrus and aromatic lavender, quickly mellowing into a soft, powdery heart where violet blooms gently. A whisper of clove adds a warm, spicy nuance before settling into a comforting base of earthy patchouli, clean musk, and subtle woods. It's a scent that smells familiar, like a well-worn, favourite jumper.
