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 fresh-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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 fresh, citrusy nature, combined with moderate projection and longevity, makes it suitable for casual wear or day-to-day use. However, the divisive 'metallic' note might not be universally appreciated in formal or intimate settings.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

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.
