AJMAL Dahn Al Oudh This year has seen the launch of Ajmal’s latest fragrance, ‘Dahn Al Oudh’.

The rich concentration of the perfume’s oils makes it an alluring choice for those who choose to wear it. It is a distinctive essence yet one that is immersed in tradition. For those who are perhaps new to Ajmal and their vast catalogue of fragrance offerings, this has the perfect combination of Indian and Cambodi blends, fortified with musk deep in its heart.

Looking at the bottle, itself a strong and attractive design is one that will suit any dressing table or bathroom counter. It demands attention with unassuming modesty.
