Shine

Shine by Ajmal, released in 2017, is a soft fruity floral listed as feminine. Everyone describes it as floral, and about half also find it gourmand, woody and musky, so the flowers come with a sweet, powdery cushion rather than standing on their own.

The notes are given without a strict order. Strawberry and pomegranate bring a juicy, slightly tart sweetness that reads as the opening. Peony and lily of the valley form the heart, both light and dewy flowers that keep the composition fresh rather than heady. Powdery notes add a gentle cosmetic softness, like a dusting of face powder, and woody notes give the base enough structure to hold the fruit and flowers in place.

It is a daytime fragrance by character, suited to spring and summer, work and casual wear, and it is unlikely to feel out of place anywhere. Shine suits someone who wants a pretty, uncomplicated scent that stays close and polite, rather than a perfume that announces itself from across the room.
