Ajmal Santal Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Santal Wood opens with Marigold, Cardamom, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Cedar, Rose, Jasmine, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Ajmal's Santal Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Ajmal Santal Wood is a divisive one. You'll either love its opulent, rich Middle Eastern take on sandalwood and oud, or you'll be put off by the challenging cumin and prominent florals, calling it 'grandma juice'. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

This is a rich, multifaceted journey starting with an intriguing burst of marigold, cumin and cardamom that quickly ushers in a heart of fragrant rose, jasmine, sharp ginger and grounding cedar. It all settles into a magnificent base of creamy sandalwood and a subtle, dark oud.
