Ajmal Verde is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Verde opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Ajmal's Verde carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Ajmal Verde is a divisive beast: some hail it as a cheap gem evoking expensive niche, others reckon it's a horror show of dead cats and ashtrays. It's certainly not a safe blind buy, but if you're up for a challenging, unconventional scent, it's worth a punt for the price.

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.

With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, Verde is a bold choice. It leans too strong and distinctive for office or formal wear, but its unique character makes it interesting for casual outings or more intimate, adventurous dates.

About

Verde opens with a sharp, spicy kick of bergamot, pepper, and ginger, quickly plunging into a deep, dark green heart of galbanum and jasmine. The dry down is a rugged, earthy affair of leather, cedar, and sandalwood, often with a hint of something industrial or smoky. It's a journey from verdant forest to a workshop floor, complex and unapologetic.
