Regina

Regina by Ajmal is a richly sweet and gourmand fragrance that unfolds like a sensory journey through ripe plums, passionfruit, and velvety rose, all wrapped in a warm amber and mahogany base. It carries a deeply indulgent, jammy character with prominent plum and praline notes, giving it an almost edible, dessert-like quality. The opening boasts a vibrant, tangy fruitiness from passionfruit that cuts through the sweetness, lending a light tartness that prevents it from feeling cloying. As it dries down, the fragrance evolves into a sensual, woody-ambery embrace, with a drydown that feels reminiscent of warm, romantic rose confections crossed with subtle spiciness and depth. It's particularly cherished in cooler seasons—autumn and winter—where its sweetness feels both comforting and refined, though some find it overwhelming in hot weather. The perfume is widely praised for its strong sillage, with moderate to strong projection that lingers impressively on skin and clothing. Despite some users reporting shorter longevity under specific conditions, many describe it as long-lasting, especially in cooler temperatures. Individual experiences vary significantly: for some, the scent reads as creamy and balanced, while others find it sour, overly sweet, or reduced to an intense, punchy sweetness that can be overwhelming. The fragrance is universally seen as feminine and luxurious, with many drawing comparisons to Armani Si, La Belle Intense, and Always Red, though it's not considered a perfect dupe. It’s particularly beloved by those who appreciate bold, gourmand scents with a sensual, romantic quality. For those seeking a creamy, juicily fruity, chocolate-rose-drenched scent with high projection and a warm, sensual drydown, Regina delivers in spades. It appeals most to those who enjoy rich, dessert-like perfumes, particularly in cooler months, and those drawn to soft, romantic, feminine scents with an exotic depth. It’s ideal for intimate atmospheres, evening wear, or for someone wanting to stand out with a bold, signature scent. However, its strength and sweetness make it less ideal for offices or very hot, humid climates, and those with sensitive allergies or proximity-conscious environments should consider its impact.
