Qafiya 2

Qafiya 2 by Ajmal is a powerful, complex oriental woody fragrance with a magnetic presence. Its opening features a sharp, bitter bergamot and coffee blend, followed by an intense wave of moss that feels damp, moldy, and deeply earthy—giving the impression of a forest floor in late autumn. This mossy foundation gradually evolves into a smooth, warm sandalwood base thickened by spice, musk, and subtle orange blossom. The scent is layered and unpredictable, shifting from harsh and metallic to creamy and elegant as it dries down. Longevity is exceptional, lasting for days even on fabric, and sillage is enormous—making it ideal for winter evenings or formal events. Despite the strong rating and widespread acclaim, some find the initial burst overwhelming or unpleasant, while others describe it as unique, elegant, and deeply seductive. It lacks the subtlety of some niche fragrances but compensates with unmatched performance and a distinctive, haute-composition feel.
