Ajmal Silver Shade is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Silver Shade opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lime, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Ajmal's Silver Shade carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one is a real Marmite scent, so don't even think about blind buying. For some, it's a sharp, metallic headache in a bottle, for others, it's a stellar, budget-friendly twist on a classic. You'll either love its fresh, citrusy character or loathe its synthetic edge.

About

Silver Shade takes you on a journey starting with a sharp, juicy burst of lime, lemon, and bergamot, blended with a subtly sweet plum and the green, slightly metallic whisper of violet leaf. As it settles, delicate rose, iris, and jasmine unfurl, lending a powdery, floral heart. The dry down is a warm, musky embrace of civet, sandalwood, cedar, and ambergris, grounding the initial brightness with a hint of animalic depth.
