In today’s episode, we have Abdulla Ajmal, CEO of Ajmal Group, sharing insights from decades of expertise in the perfume industry. He explains how pricing, raw materials, and craftsmanship determine the true value of a fragrance and why expensive doesn’t always mean better.

We discuss everything from the difference between oud at ₹500 and ₹5000, to why top notes shouldn't influence buying decisions. Abdulla discusses regional preferences in India, common #mistakes buyers make, and the science behind long-lasting scents.


In the final segment, Abdulla walks through the farm-to-bottle process of oud production, the journey of Ajmal in India, and the logic behind scent choices for different moods, occasions, and even personalities. He even shares which perfumes he’d craft for celebrities like SRK and Virat Kohli, and gives Raj a scent match based on personality.
