Embodiment of Excellence and Creativity in the World of Perfumes
Faridah Ajmal's vision harmoniously blends age-old traditions with contemporary modern style, resulting in luxurious perfume collections that serve as meaningful gifts and unforgettable experiences capable of evoking emotions and awakening memories. Her journey in the perfume industry was profoundly influenced by her husband, Fakhruddin Ajmal, who led the "Ajmal Perfumes" brand with passion for nearly five decades, contributing to the deepening of her passion for the perfumery craft in its early stages.
Initially, Faridah Ajmal was not drawn to oud oil, that precious and expensive component in Eastern perfumes, but over time, she developed a deep fascination with the complex distillation process of resin-infused oud wood, an essential element in crafting high-quality perfumes. What began as a hobby swiftly transformed into a serious pursuit, with Faridah establishing her own laboratory at home, where she experimented with and blended exclusive fragrances that quickly garnered attention.
A blend of opportunities and challenges
In 2023 and 2024, her brand had the honor of being the "Gift Partner" for the prestigious International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards in Abu Dhabi, granting her perfumes global visibility. The Eastern and serene French fragrances she offers have been appreciated by celebrities and prominent figures, elevating her brand's fame on the international stage.
Embodiment of excellence and creativity in the world of perfumes
Alongside her notable professional achievements, Faridah Ajmal plays a pivotal role within her family, skillfully balancing her responsibilities as a mother of two daughters while continuously supporting her husband at every step of his career. Additionally, Faridah is a committed supporter of people with special needs, actively contributing to institutions caring for children with special needs in both the UAE and India.
Faridah Ajmal's business accomplishments and community contributions render her a "woman of substance" distinguished by her knowledge, strength, and ability to inspire others.
