by Ajmal
Patchouli Wood by Ajmal is a deeply earthy, sweet, and slightly medicinal fragrance centered around rich oud and patchouli, with supporting woody and spicy notes. It carries a raw, organic quality that many describe as 'dirty' or 'barn-like,' evoking the scent of sacred ash from Indian temples, cow dung, and weathered wood. The aroma is strong and long-lasting in projection for a dark, balsamic, and gourmand-tinged oud that’s sweet rather than foul. Its intensity and complexity make it an ideal choice for evening wear, especially during autumn and winter, where its warm, spicy depth complements colder weather. While the longevity is moderate to long for many, some find it fades beyond three hours. It is not for those seeking a clean or mainstream scent—it’s niche, bold, and confrontational.
