Ajmal Perfumes hosts exclusive Iftar for Dubai's Assamese community
Ajmal Perfumes, a name synonymous with the art of fine perfumery, recently hosted a distinguished Iftar gathering at Twin Towers, Deira, bringing together over 600 members and 25 dedicated volunteers from the Assamese perfume industry community in Dubai. The evening was a celebration of togetherness, shared blessings, and a heartfelt tribute to Assam's most precious gift to the world — agarwood.
Founded over seven decades ago in Assam, India — a region renowned as the cradle of agarwood — Ajmal Perfumes has grown into a globally acclaimed fragrance house. By welcoming the Assamese community in the UAE, Amiruddin Ajmal, chairman of Ajmal Group, Abdulla Ajmal, CEO of Ajmal Group, and the esteemed Ajmal family reaffirmed their deep connection to their roots while embracing the spirit of generosity and hospitality that defines the holy month of Ramadan.
Agarwood, a symbol of Assam's natural heritage and a fundamental ingredient in Ajmal's most exquisite creations, continues to shape the brand's legacy. Many attendees at the Iftar gathering remain closely linked to the ancient agarwood trade, a craft that has played a pivotal role in Ajmal's journey, blending the rich traditions of the East with the perfumery heritage of the Arab world.
Reflecting on the significance of the occasion, Amiruddin Ajmal shared, 'At Ajmal Perfumes, our story began in Assam, and it continues to shape who we are today. This Iftar gathering is not just a celebration but a tribute to our homeland and the people who have been integral to our journey. We are honoured to come together in Dubai, carrying forward the spirit of Assam and the timeless traditions of the holy month of Ramadan.'
Abdulla Ajmal echoed these sentiments, adding, 'Ramadan is a time of unity and gratitude. Hosting the Assamese community for this special evening allows us to strengthen our bonds while paying homage to the legacy of agarwood, a treasured resource that has connected cultures for centuries. The story of Ajmal is inseparable from the story of Assam, and we take immense pride in keeping that connection alive.'
Renowned for its expertise in perfumery, Ajmal Perfumes remains committed to sourcing the highest quality oud from Assam, ensuring that the region's historic trade ties with the Middle East continue to thrive. By preserving this legacy and presenting it on a global stage, the brand upholds its deep-rooted heritage while embracing innovation in the world of fine fragrance.
This memorable Iftar gathering stands as a testament to Ajmal Perfumes' enduring philosophy — where heritage, fragrance, and community converge to create a truly timeless experience.
