Utopia II

Ajmal Utopia II is an engaging fragrance perfect for summer outings. From the moment you spray it, the zesty lemon opening is invigorating. It sets the stage for an olfactory experience that's both fresh and warmly spicy. The scent manages to create a unique juxtaposition, feeling both soft and sharp at the same time, which adds a layer of complexity to its profile. Initial aquatic notes provide a refreshing opening, but the fragrance gradually transitions into a more woody realm, adding depth. Along the way, you'll encounter subtle elements of apple and fresh pepper, which contribute to its intricate nature. Although the scent is captivating, it has its limitations in terms of longevity and sillage, a common shortcoming of summer fragrances. After a few hours, a woody amber note makes its appearance, but the fragrance largely remains consistent without evolving significantly. This may be a plus or minus depending on your preference for scent development. As for the packaging, the futuristic bottle design stands out and adds an extra touch of modernity to the overall experience. What sets this fragrance apart are its earthy undertones — notes of dirt, mud, and tea leaves are woven into the composition, grounding its otherwise vibrant and zesty character. In summary, Ajmal Utopia II is a compelling choice for those looking for a summer fragrance with a twist. It provides an initial burst of freshness and complexity, though it may require reapplication throughout the day due to its moderate staying power.

Unusually masculine for a summer release, and fucking beautiful! I've never smelled Calvin Klein's Escape, nor do I care to. I just know that the U.A.E. is apparenly pumping out better stuff than the U.S. and European markets these days, and Utopia II doesn't disapoint! The amber and patchouli from this homerun blind buy are the main players for sure, but they're not rough in any way and work elegantly together with the other notes, creating a breezy, spiked fruit punch type of feel in the most relaxing and peaceful way possible. Utopia II smells like a tropical midnight honeymoon walk on the beach. The sweet scent of the woods lie less than a quarter of a mile from the ocean during a full moon. Is it formal? Yes. Is it casual? Yes. Infact, I'm sure that In a parallel dimension somewhere, Tom Cruise is wearing this scent while living out the movie Cocktail. Maybe....just maybe. I hope Ajmal doesn't read this, but I'd easily pay double for what I paid purchasing Utopia II. The bombastic green opening on this true EDP is something of legends! I guess that's probably a testament as to why it went directly to my favorites shelf upon my first wearing. In the words of Ben Stiller from the film Happy Gillmore, "This is handmade quality shit we're talkin here!"

I received my bottle of Utopia II today and I'm glad I made this blind purchase. As others have said, it smells synthetic, but I cant think of many perfumes includng designers and niche that aren't. It smells of citrus, lavender, wood and some earthy aroma. It is not easy for me to tell each note apart, but all in all it smells really nice. It reminds me of another perfume but I dont know which one. I would say its more of a summer fragrance, and its office friendly too. Thats all good for me because I have a trigger-happy finger when it comes to perfumes. Very good quality as expected from Ajmal house, excelent sillage and longevity considering its citrus and wild flowers, which dont last long normally. 8/10

I have bought this stuff as a blind buy just according to other reviews here. The scent is very pleasant "arabic" spicy. On my skin it remains approx. 4-5hours, but current climate here is almost winter so in hot summer days it may become long lasting as skin swets. Sillage is moderate, no "nose destroyer" taking place here. If someone voted here this scent to be of enormous sillage then never tried old russian "colognes" made in USSR (level 10 on 5 level scale - sillage like an atomic bomb). Unfortunately in my area (central Europe) this scent is very rare to buy but if some lucky days come in and is available it becomes a great deal (20€ for 90ml EDP).

This arrived as a sample phial stuck to a bottle of Arabian Nights by Jesus del Pozo. I tried it and was pleasantly surprised at how well it projected and lingered. Even more welcome was the attention it received from the ladies at my workplace. All comments were good. This convinced me to get a full Flacon, that duly arrived and was applied. Many compliments later that night and the woody dry down fragrance continued to give wafts of scent for several hours after application. Very heavy bottle and as usual, an EDP, from the Middle East. This a mid price product and as such is very good value for money. I'll certainly buy this fragrance again.
