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.

Folks, please get off the synthetic bandwagon trip already. It's annoyong and you all sound like a broken down record. ALL scents are compromised with synthetics. If they weren't, how long do you really think that pretty looking bottle sitting on your dresser would last?? Not once in my entire existence of wearing fragrance has ANYONE of either gender come up to me and say, "You know, you smell nice, but a little synthetic." Guys, you either smell good or you don't. It's really that simple. The power of suggestion is too strong for it's own good on Fragranitica.

Elma notasının ağırlıklı olduğu bir parfüm.Ferah ama sentetik elma kokusu baskın ve biraz da odunsu nota hissediliyor.Kalıcılığı ve hissedilirliği gayet yüksek.25 yaşın altına uygun olduğunu düşünüyorum.Sıcak havalarda ağır kaçabiliyor.İlkbahar ve kış mevsiminde ferah parfüm kullanmayı tercih edenlere uygun olduğunu düşünüyorum.

I found this scent by pure accident. However, I have yet to find a woman that does not like it. It is fresh and incredibly long lasting. A splash one day is still easily noticable the following day. Highly recommended if attracting the ladies is your gaol.

Utopia II is my go-to summer scent! It's so fresh and uplifting thanks to the citrus and aquatic notes. The cedar and lavender in the middle give it a bit of depth, and the amber and patchouli base makes it last all day. Highly recommend!

Say what you will but this one is a monster!!!!Stays on clothes for weeks!!! Wife loves it, smells clean yet some apple and greens. For the price it beats most!!

This reminds me of Armaf's Futura La Homme & or CK Escape. That's a good thing, this smells wonderful... Spicy, fresh, citrus, but i can't pick up the granny smith apple...The other notes over power it. It's a very lovely scent, not a must have...but a very great addition to your collection. I used six sprays...both wrist, back & front of my neck, chest and front of my shirt. Will I buy this again?...Yes. Does this fragrance enter BEAST MODE, good, just okay or weak sauce at best? Good. What's the strength of this? EDP. Am i willing to trade this fragrance? Yes. Should You Skipped It, Sample It First or Blind Buy It? Blind Buy Worthy...If you can find it $30 & under. Can you use it as a unisex scent? Yes. Is it the old, new formulation? New. What's its availability; in production, limited edition or discontinued? In production. SKU Number: 6293708006649 Batch Number: 7865405 (Production Date: May 2016) Age: 25+ From: Amazon Size: 90 ML Scent: 4/5 (Good). Value: 5/5 (Cost $20.00). Sillage: 3/5 (Three feet). Longevity: 3/5 (Six hours). Creativity: 3.5/5 (A nice freshy). Projection: 2.5/5 (An Hour & a half tops). Versatility: 3.75/5 (Perfect for the Spring, Summer & early stages of fall). Compliments: NA/5 (No one around to smell it). Until next time, I'll catch you on the flipside.

It's as though they disembled Escape and reconstructecd it from the bottom up. Utopia II is more earthy and like many niche fragrances out there more elemental than the manstream and by this I mean that you can pick out the individual notes. With a spra of each on either wrist. They develope differently. At an early stage you are innured to the smalll of one because for a short while they smell almost identical. The Escape then becomes more fruity while the Ajmal becomes more earthy. It's almost like the Escape is painted in pastels and the Ajmal with Oils. I see no reason not to own both. I love this hobby!

ajmal solace den daha iyi olduğunu söyleyebilirim, saldırganlığı ve kalıcılığı çok iyi

Not exactly my scent. Yes it is aquatic, fresh and green but reminds me something like herbal tea, which I don't like. The drying is better. There is a slightly woody scent. Anyway for such a cheap perfume it is long lasting with good projection.

Modern and fresh Barbershop beast *tongue pop* mode. Insanely long lasting, croud pleaser for mainstream straight guys, gorgeous bottle. Slightly cloying for my taste.

This is a dead ringer for Calvin Klein’s Escape. I am talking about the 90s juice of Escape. I wore Escape every chance I got, loved it to bits. The current Escape is still good, but smells milder than its 90s avatar. Likely due to some reformulation, or maybe I ended up smelling old stock at the counter. It opens aquatic, citrusy and slowly veers into the spicy woody territory. It stays on me for a good 12 hours, but then I have oily skin, if your skin is dry, you are looking at 8 to 10 hours of longevity. That said, it is still a beast mode scent because it survives the Bombay summers beautifully. Cost me INR 1500 when I purchased this from the Ajmal store, but it was a 75 ml bottle (maybe 100ml too, feels heavier than the Shadow bottle) and lasts forever. It is a super heavy and bulky bottle, not for travelling with. Review taken from my own beauty blog

Review 23 "Tiki Bar Beach Blast" Spring scent, mild summer tropical blast open, a little loud not too much. A clean beach wooden walkway..almost like walking thru a trail next to trees to an outdoor party oceanic deck/bar Quite long lasting, very good scent. Casual, not so much a date scent. It's a daytime sunshine scent. I get a mild tiki bar scent drydown once the woodiness kicks in. This is a nice clean one. 7.2 Scentrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGNwXq6vPoI Walter Wanderley - Summer Samba

this smells like a softer, more approachable fahrenheit. ETA: this one matures nicely and takes on a life of its own after 6 or so hours in. there's a aromachemical 'oud' smell that becomes pronounced, especially towards the tail end of its lifespan. it reminds me a bit of Opus V by Amouage. Just a little. This certainly warrants a try-out...

i recently bought a full bottle, New in box. For me the longevity is at best about 1 hour then it becomes a skin scent. Hardly any projection! Wahts wrong eh? Lovely blue/green flacon though.

This stuff is great. Great projection, great longevity and doesn ́t have to be hottest day to get you noticed. For its price it ́s a steal. No complaints.

Well said brandonR. Apart from synthetic another most common word used is reformulated, either quote a source or keep ur trap shut.

Big disappointment, this is a green, fresh and syntetic scent, mostly i do smell granny smith apple. maybe it works in hot weather.

sillage and projection monster!!! jesus what a beast!! i love it and bought 3 bottles , its that really good- believe me guys

good fresh aromatic.. little synthetic but lovely..
