Ajmal Patchouli Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Patchouli Wood opens with Mace, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Oud, and Patchouli. Ajmal's Patchouli Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Ajmal's Patchouli Wood is definitely for a niche crowd; intensely earthy, dark, and challenging for some, but a comforting and grounding experience for others. It's a statement piece, not a crowd-pleaser, so don't even think about a blind buy.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong, often challenging profile and moderate-to-strong projection mentioned by some, this isn't an office-friendly scent. Its unique, dark character could work for specific formal events or adventurous dates, but is too distinct for casual, everyday wear or 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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

This scent journey starts with a potent hit of raw, earthy patchouli, quickly joined by an undeniably animalic and pungent oud, reminiscent of damp earth and perhaps a touch of the barnyard. Woods and warm spices provide a rich, dark backdrop while subtle floral notes emerge in the heart, adding a fleeting touch of softness before sinking back into a balsamic, smoky, and almost ashy dry-down that lingers with mysterious depth.
