Ajmal Qafiya 2 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Qafiya 2 opens with Bergamot and Coffee, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Moss. Ajmal's Qafiya 2 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This beast-mode oriental is a divisive one, but for those who love its strong, spicy character, it's a hidden gem. If you're after subtle, look elsewhere; this is for those who want to make an entrance.

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.

With its enormous longevity and sillage, Qafiya 2 is far too potent for the office. It truly shines for evening wear, whether it's a date night or a formal event, where its strong presence can be appreciated. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear unless you're confident in making a statement.

About

Opening with a sharp, almost bitter combination of bergamot and coffee, Qafiya 2 quickly transitions into a bold heart of warm, exotic spices and a surprising hint of orange blossom. The dry down is a long, enduring embrace of creamy sandalwood and an earthy, slightly damp moss, creating a rich and complex oriental experience that lingers for days.
