Kajal Eau de Parfum is the fragrance with which Kajal Perfumes Paris was born: an elegant, powdery floral amber built around rose and orris and softened by a smooth vanilla base. Signed by Christian Carbonnel, it is a refined and discreet fragrance, created for those who love timeless charm.
The Fragrance
It is the house's very first perfume, presented in 2014 and now the brand's signature, so much so that it bears its name: this is why it is known simply as "Kajal" and, as it opens the Classic Collection, many also call it Kajal Classic. The bottle itself simply reads "Kajal", together with the words Eau de Parfum. The name recalls the Arabic "khajal", the shy modesty of someone who discovers they are admired for their beauty, and kajal, the traditional kohl that frames the eyes. The thick glass bottle, with its eight-pointed cap inspired by Islamic geometric patterns, has become the emblem of the whole collection.
How It Evolves on Skin
The opening is bright and sparkling, with Amalfi lemon, Calabrian bergamot and mandarin. In the heart a velvety Turkish rose blooms, accompanied by orris, which gives the fragrance its unmistakable powdery, elegant character. The base is soft and enveloping: Madagascar vanilla, tonka bean, Mysore sandalwood, amber and musk create a creamy, sophisticated trail that stays close to the skin and lasts a long time, especially on fabrics.
Who We Recommend Kajal Eau de Parfum To
We recommend Kajal Eau de Parfum to those who love elegant, powdery perfumes with a refined, never overpowering rose, and to those looking for a versatile fragrance for every occasion, from the office to the evening. It is at its best in the transitional seasons and cooler months, but soft enough to accompany you all year round. Its soul is mainly feminine, but its powdery elegance suits anyone, man or woman.

FAQ
Is Kajal Eau de Parfum a sweet or a powdery perfume?
It is above all powdery: orris and rose give it an elegant, dry powdery effect, while the vanilla and tonka bean in the base add a light, creamy sweetness that is never cloying.
Why is it simply called "Kajal"?
Because it is the house's first fragrance, the one where it all began: it bears the name of the brand, which comes from the Arabic "khajal", the shy modesty of someone who feels admired, and from kajal, the traditional eye make-up.
Is it suitable for the office and daytime?
Yes: thanks to its refined, non-intrusive trail it is one of the most versatile Kajal fragrances, suitable for work as well as for elegant occasions. In the evening and in colder months it becomes even more enveloping.
How long does it last on skin?
Longevity is good, with moderate projection that keeps it elegant and never excessive. On fabrics such as scarves and coats it remains noticeable even longer.
