Ajmal Shiro is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Shiro opens with Spicy Notes and Fruity Notes, settles into a heart of Woody Notes and Rain, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. Ajmal's Shiro carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This aquatic beast is a proper 'love it or hate it' scent. Some find its strong, salty, and fruity-aquatic profile a unique gem, while others are put off by its perceived synthetic nature and cloying sweetness. Proceed with caution.

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.

Its beast-mode performance and strong sillage, often described as 'room-filling', makes it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its fresh, aquatic nature makes it a solid choice for casual wear, especially for those seeking compliments, or even for sport, though some find it can be cloying.

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

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

Shiro opens with a surprisingly potent whack of spicy and fruity notes, but quickly settles into its core identity: a fresh aquatic. Imagine rain on a verdant forest, backed by a soft, warm amber and musk. It's an unusual aquatic, more green and subtly woody than sparkling blue, with a persistent underlying sweetness that some find melon-like, others cloying.
