Ajmal Chemystery is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Nazir Ajmal. Chemystery opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, Cardamom, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Cypress, Lavender, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Ajmal's Chemystery carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This isn't just a perfume, it's a personality test. Chemystery by Ajmal is a divisive blast from the past - some love its complex, green-spicy freshness, others find it too unusual. It's a statement, not a crowd-pleaser.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Also Works:
Office

Its blend of fresh, spicy, and woody notes make it versatile for casual and date environments. However, its noticeable projection and distinct character might be too bold for formal or office settings, and not fresh enough for sport.

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.

About

Chemystery opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of grapefruit and mandarin, quickly spiced up with warm cardamom and nutmeg, and grounded by herbal basil. As it settles, a clean lavender and green cypress emerge, leading into a woody, slightly creamy drydown of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver, softened by a touch of vanilla and tonka bean. It's a journey from vibrant green to earthy warmth.
