ALUJAIN

Alujain is a unisex eau de parfum by Kajal Perfumes Paris that celebrates the rose in a warm, ambery and woody embrace: deep, powdery and sensual. Signed by Christian Carbonnel, it is a long-lasting oriental woody fragrance, created for those who love bold roses with an enveloping character.

The Fragrance

Alujain belongs to the Fiddah Collection, the house's five "silver" fragrances presented at Pitti Fragranze in 2016 and released in 2017: the name in fact recalls silver, "lujain" in Arabic. For the brand it is the scent of the joyful, festive person, a true celebration of ambers that brings together tradition and modernity. It is also a fragrance designed to be versatile: it can be worn alone or layered with other perfumes.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening belongs to the rose, full and velvety, which from the very first moments shows a dark, slightly animalic side. In the heart, geranium heightens its green, spicy freshness, while orris brings a creamy, powdery softness. As the hours pass, the fragrance settles onto a warm base of amber, musk, woody notes and sweet notes, which many perceive as a rose-and-oud accord, lingering on skin for a long time and becoming ever more powdery and enveloping.

Who We Recommend Alujain To

We recommend Alujain to those who love deep, woody oriental roses, and to those looking for a long-lasting perfume with a festive character. It is ideal in the transitional seasons and on cool evenings, and it also lends itself well to layering with other perfumes. It is unisex and looks wonderful on both women and men who love roses.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Alujain is one of those perfumes that win you over with time: at first it intrigues, then it becomes almost addictive. We love the way it transforms on skin and its ability to stay present all day long.

FAQ

Is Alujain a rose-oud perfume?
Many describe it exactly that way, as a "desert rose" over a base of woods and amber. The brand's pyramid speaks of woody and ambery notes, but on skin the effect strongly recalls the pairing of rose and oud, in a soft, powdery version.

Can it be layered with other perfumes?
Yes, it is one of the features the brand designed it for: Alujain can be worn alone or layered, for example to give ambery depth to a lighter floral or woody scent.

What is the opening like?
In the first minutes the rose shows a dark, slightly animalic side that can be surprising; after about an hour the fragrance softens and becomes creamier and more powdery. Those who try it recommend waiting for the evolution before judging it.

How long does Alujain last?
It is one of its strengths: reviews speak of over twelve hours on skin, with a clearly noticeable sillage, and very long wear on clothes too.
