If you have ever walked through a Dubai souk at dusk, you already know the scent that lingers in the air: a soft, almost edible cloud of jasmine flower, sweet-tart bergamot, and creamy sandalwood. That same complex aroma is what Ajmal Perfumes UAE traps—drop by drop—inside every bottle of its signature hair mist. The process is not a quick spritz-and-go affair; it is a deliberate, seven-day infusion that marries centuries-old Emirati distillation craft with modern cosmetic science. Below, you will discover exactly how the house transforms janan perfume concentrate, precious oils, and fresh botanicals into a weightless veil that lasts on hair for up to 12 hours without drying the strands.
What Makes Hair Mist Different from Regular Perfume?
Most eau de parfums are loaded with ethyl alcohol to project scent off skin. Hair, however, is made of dead keratin that drinks up oil but repels high-proof alcohol. Spraying traditional perfume directly on hair can create brittleness, colour fade, and that dreaded “hairspray flashback” smell. Ajmal’s chemists solve the problem by cutting the alcohol base down to under 15 % and replacing the rest with a blend of lightweight silicones, fermented coconut water, and a micro-emulsion of jasmine flower absolute. The result is a translucent mist that:
-
Adds glossy slip without greasiness
-
Seals split ends against humidity
-
Releases fragrance in slow waves rather than a single sharp punch
Day-by-Day: The Seven-Day Infusion Protocol
Day 1 – Harvest & Pre-Treatment
At dawn, jasmine buds are hand-plucked from Ajmal’s own farms in Fujairah. Only buds that are 60 % open are chosen; this guarantees peak indole and linalool content. The petals are immediately flash-chilled to 4 °C to arrest enzymatic browning.
Day 2 – Enfleurage 2.0
Instead of the traditional animal-fat enfleurage once used across the Arabian Peninsula, Ajmal uses food-grade shea butter as a lipid layer. Petals are spread in thin layers, and the trays rest in a temperature-controlled room at 22 °C. Every 12 hours, spent petals are swapped for fresh ones. This old-meets-new technique coaxes out the full spectrum of jasmine flower molecules without solvent residue.
Day 3 – Hydro-Distillation
Shea butter trays are scraped, and the fragrant pomade is melted into a copper still with de-mineralised water. A slow, three-hour distillation at 45 °C pulls a creamy white hydrosol. Gas chromatography shows a 17 % higher benzyl acetate yield than conventional steam distillation, giving the upcoming hair mist its soft, apricot-like nuance.
Day 4 – Concentrate Marrying
The hydrosol is blended with janan perfume concentrate, a proprietary accord built around velvety woods, powdered iris, and a whisper of saffron. The marriage happens in stainless-steel vessels lined with ceramic beads; these beads agitate gently every hour, ensuring micro-mixing without shear stress that could break delicate aroma molecules.
Day 5 – Silicone Emulsification
Now the formula turns cosmetic. Low-viscosity cyclomethicone is emulsified with the scented hydrosol using ultrasonic cavitation. The process creates droplets smaller than 100 nanometres, allowing the mist to sit on the hair cuticle rather than penetrate the cortex—key for shine without weight.
Day 6 – Conditioning Boost
Hydrolysed baobab protein, panthenol, and vitamin E are folded into the emulsion. This trio forms a breathable film that smooths frizz and protects against UV-induced protein loss. Importantly, the conditioning agents are encapsulated in liposomes that rupture only when the hair flexes, releasing actives exactly when the strands need them.
Day 7 – Micro-Filtration & Filling
The final mixture is gravity-filtered through 0.22-micron membranes to remove any botanical particulate. Bottles are nitrogen-flushed before filling to prevent oxidation. Each 100 ml frosted glass flacon is capped with a fine-mist atomiser calibrated to deliver 0.12 ml per spray—enough for even distribution across shoulder-length hair in four spritzes.
How to Use Ajmal Hair Mist for Maximum Effect
-
Shake gently to re-disperse the liposomes.
-
Hold the bottle 20 cm away and mist over the mid-lengths to ends.
-
Smooth with palms to lock in the conditioning layer.
-
Re-apply after four to six hours if you want a stronger sillage, though most wearers find the janan perfume trail lingers subtly all day.
Pro Tip: For a Dubai-worthy halo, flip your hair upside down and spritz the underside. The warmth of your scalp will diffuse the jasmine flower heart in slow motion.
