KAJAL HOMME

Kajal Homme is the first men's fragrance by Kajal Perfumes Paris, created for a charming, sincere and charismatic man: an oriental woody scent that opens fresh and citrusy and settles into a warm, elegant base. Signed by Christian Carbonnel and Rosendo Mateu, it is a versatile and refined perfume that gets noticed with class without ever raising its voice.

The Fragrance

Launched in 2015 as Kajal Homme, the name written on the bottle, today the brand presents it as Kajal I, the first chapter of the Arqam Collection, the house's numbered line ("arqam" means "numbers" in Arabic). The number one stands for beginnings, determination and self-discovery: for Kajal, every beginning is a gift of priceless value, the promise of boundless potential. The thick glass bottle, with its eight-pointed star cap inspired by Islamic geometry and its copper tones, conveys its elegance at first glance.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is fresh and sparkling: cassis, ruby red grapefruit and mandarin give a bright, slightly fruity start. In the heart the fragrance becomes warmer and more structured, with spicy cardamom, guaiac wood and soft, woody cashmeran, lit up by a touch of orange blossom. The base is enveloping and sensual: oud, sandalwood and patchouli blend with tonka bean, vanilla and musk, in an elegant trail that lasts throughout the day.

Who We Recommend Kajal Homme To

We recommend Kajal Homme to those looking for a refined, easy-to-wear men's perfume, fresh yet full of character, and to those who want a niche fragrance to wear every day, at the office as well as in the evening. It suits every season and is also perfect as a first step into the world of Kajal. Created as a men's fragrance, it has an elegant freshness that also wins over many women: it suits anyone.
