Ajmal Hayba is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Hayba opens with Rose, Lily of the Valley, Nutmeg, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Amber, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Guaiac Wood. Ajmal's Hayba carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Ajmal Hayba is a chameleon, transforming from a spicy, rich opening to a creamy, woody close. Some find it a Middle Eastern dream, others a bit too familiar or fleeting. It's a journey, not a destination, for those who appreciate evolution in their scent.

Scent Profile

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.

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:

With moderate projection and good longevity, Hayba is versatile but leans away from overtly casual or sporty settings. Its warm, woody, and spicy profile makes it suitable for evenings, dates, and more formal occasions, while its smooth character allows for office wear if applied lightly.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Hayba opens with a bold, spicy embrace of saffron and nutmeg, softened by a touch of rose and the delicate whisper of lily of the valley. As it settles, a warm, resinous amber emerges, weaving through earthy patchouli and the unique, slightly green nuances of cypriol. The dry down is a luxurious affair of creamy sandalwood and sturdy cedar, rounded by guaic wood and a soft musk, creating a rich, woody tapestry with subtle floral and spicy undertones.
