Strings of Oud

Ajmal Strings of Oud is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Philippine Courtière. Strings of Oud opens with Pepper, Cardamom, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Cypress, Geranium, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vanilla, and Tobacco. Ajmal's Strings of Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Don't let the name confuse you, there's no actual oud here, and it's a bit of a divisive point. Despite that, this is a long-lasting, vanilla-forward woody scent for those who enjoy a warm, sweet oriental vibe without the overt oud funk.

About

Strings of Oud by Ajmal opens with a sharp, fresh spicy kick of pepper and cardamom, quickly softened by the herbal bitterness of wormwood. This initial intriguing blend soon settles into a heart of aromatic cypress and clean geranium, underscored by smoky incense. The drydown is where the magic (and vanilla) truly happens: a rich, sweet blend of cedar, creamy vanilla, and a hint of dark tobacco leaf, creating a warm and resinous finish that lingers beautifully.
