Ajmal Amir Two

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on rose, nutmeg and geranium, moves through cypriol oil or nagarmotha, amber and cashmere wood, and settles on agarwood (oud), musk and gurjan balsam.

• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used
• nutmeg: warm dusty spice, dry rather than sweet

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
