Ajmal Raindrops

2006

“Coco Mademoiselle’s polished charm, easy enough for every spring day.”

Raindrops
floral
woody
fruity

Ajmal's 2006 Raindrops is a floral-woody composition built on a short, general note list of floral, woody and fruity notes with ambergris. Frequently compared to Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (2001) and its 2002 EDT. Floral accords lead, with woody, fruity and amber facets and a light animalic warmth. Wears strongest in spring, versatile through summer and fall, firmly daytime.
