Ajmal Chapter 1 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Maxime Exler. Chapter 1 opens with Amber and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Patchouli, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Ajmal's Chapter 1 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive take on woody-amber fragrances, Chapter 1 is cosy, spicy, and intimately appealing. It’s a softer Ajmal, leaning into subtle elegance rather than beast-mode projection, which some adore and others find underwhelming. Expect a warm embrace rather than a roaring fire.

About

Chapter 1 opens with a distinctly aromatic cardamom, spiced with warm amber. The heart reveals a creamy, barely-there fig alongside earthy patchouli and a hint of cypriol. The dry down is a luxurious blend of soft cashmere wood, smooth sandalwood, and a subtle sweetness from tonka bean and musk, creating a plush, comforting aura that lingers close to the skin.
