Ajmal Purely Orient Santal is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Purely Orient Santal opens with Nutmeg, Ginger, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Balsam, Cedar, and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Oud. Ajmal's Purely Orient Santal carries a Statement verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

A truly polarising beast: for lovers of proper, animalic oud from the Middle East, this is niche quality at a steal. For those who find barnyard notes too much, you'll be running for the hills.

About

Opens with an invigorating blast of fresh ginger, nutmeg, and saffron, quickly giving way to a rich, warm heart of balsamic cedar and creamy sandalwood. The assertive oud then makes its entrance, melding with an opulent base of amber and musk for a deeply animalic, woody finish. It's a journey from spicy brightness to profound, earthy depth.
