Introducing a universe of 5 fragrant families at accessible price points to celebrate 70 years of crafting memories.

With this range, we bring together the finest international expertise, experience and ingredients for the Indian Millennials and GEN Z.

Mumbai, December 20: Ajmal Perfumes, a homegrown perfumery brand with a rich heritage acquired through 70 years of experience, is a global name known for its wide array of fragrances. Ajmal has been crafting memories for nearly seven decades, ever since its founder Haji Ajmal Ali, created the brand in 1951. As a trader of oudh and oudh oil, Haji Ajmal Ali opened his first store in Mumbai in the 1960s.

Today, Ajmal Perfumes is present in 45 countries that span across 240 exclusive showrooms globally and is available at 3000 Points of Sale in India. Earlier this year, Ajmal joined hands with the House of Anita Dongre to launch contemporary fragrance lines for AND and Global Desi.

To celebrate its 70th anniversary, Ajmal Perfumes introduces – MII Fragrances – a range created especially for Millennials and Gen Z in India. Focusing on the Millennials and Gen Z audience who are digital natives with a curiosity that is easily piqued, the brand has created a range of fragrances for these experimental consumers who they believe are the driving force of the category. This range of fragrances encompasses the brand’s finest international expertise, experience, and ingredients but is available at accessible price points.

“It was our brand mission to make luxury fragrances affordable to mark the milestone year of the brand. Indian millennial and GEN Z consumer has evolved from using perfumes for occasional wear to making perfumes a part of their daily grooming routine. The trend of matching fragrances to moods is a new one, but one I predict will sure catch up soon. Every fragrance evokes a mood and type of destination through its notes.” says Abdulla Ajmal, Business Mentor and Perfumist, Ajmal & Sons – India.

As Ajmal Perfumes introduce the MII range, they have also taken customer psyche into consideration. There is a clear understanding that there is a connection between the colours you gravitate to and the notes in the fragrances you gravitate to.  Hence, in today’s digital age, when people look at their screens and order fragrances online, the packaging is the first touchpoint, and the brand wants to be crystal clear with tone and the saturation of the bottle.

The bottles are referenced after 5 precious gemstones; the colour of the bottles evokes a distinct mood and personality. The glass square bottles are designed to be trendy and sturdy. You can place them on your closet shelf, or slide them in the desk drawer or even bag pack with them. It’s a winning combination of aesthetics and functionality.

Elaborating on the retail strategy Saurav Bhattacharya, President – Operations, Ajmal & Sons – NHA Division, India, says, “The Indian Millennials and GEN Z consumers are extremely fashion-forward. This generation is the driving force behind the trends reshaping our Industry and hence this line of fragrance will prove to be a strong litmus test.

Smelling great is a critical part of their grooming requirements. Thereby, The MII Range was the next logical introduction for Ajmal Perfumes. Ajmal traditionally imported 70% of the products from its state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Dubai. With this range, we have moved manufacturing to India to save nearly 35% on various import duties, thereby offering our consumers a better price-value equation and also contributing to ‘Atmanirbharta’. While imbibing the ethos of a luxury perfume line, this range is available at an accessible price point of 1500 for 100 ml of EDP.”

The Indian Millennials and GEN Z consumers want quality, transparency and more gender-neutral scents, and this is what we have tried to incorporate into The MII Range. From a retail lens, for online, the aim is to have the product on top e-commerce platforms, and for offline, the brand plans to expand the business to 4000+ doors by the end of 2022, which includes apparel multi-brand outlets, beauty stores and Ajmal owned stores.”
