Lamar is a unisex eau de parfum by Kajal Perfumes Paris, as luminous and enveloping as a golden sunset: a juicy fruity floral that combines precious roses with a warm, ambery base. Signed by Mark Buxton, it is a sunny, seductive perfume with a generous trail, one of the house's best-loved creations.
The Fragrance
Lamar belongs to the Gold Collection and was launched in 2020. In Arabic its name means "liquid gold", the legendary substance sought by alchemists as the elixir of life: for Kajal it is an invitation to savour the joy of the present, like being embraced by a golden sunset while a breeze carries the scent of exotic flowers. Mark Buxton set out to create a rich, warm and long-lasting fragrance, using high-quality natural raw materials. The heavy, glossy golden bottle is decorated with floral motifs in relief.
How It Evolves on Skin
The opening is juicy and sunny: pineapple joins red berries and apple, while cardamom and coriander add a spicy, luminous touch. In the heart, Bulgarian rose and Turkish rose bloom, accompanied by magnolia and sambac jasmine, in a soft, sensual bouquet. The base is warm and golden: amber, ambroxan, vanilla and toffee blend with cashmere wood, cedarwood, musk and oakmoss, leaving a long-lasting, enveloping trail.
Who We Recommend Lamar To
We recommend Lamar to those who love fruity, floral perfumes with a warm, sweet base, and to those looking for a niche fragrance that wins you over at the first spray and leaves a generous trail for many hours. It is perfect in spring and summer, and also suits autumn days well. It is unisex and loved by both women and men who enjoy roses.

FAQ
Does Lamar smell like Baccarat Rouge 540?
It is the most frequent comparison, for the airy, luminous sweetness of its base. Those who know both, however, recognise Lamar as a different perfume, much fruitier and rosier, with pineapple as the star of the opening.
Can you really smell the pineapple?
Yes, and it is one of its best-loved traits: in the opening the pineapple is juicy and realistic, accompanied by red berries and apple. Over time it gives way to the roses and a warm base of amber, vanilla and toffee.
Is Lamar unisex?
Yes: the fruity, rosy opening has a feminine touch, but after a few minutes the fragrance becomes warmer and more ambery and turns perfectly unisex. Many men wear it with great satisfaction.
What does Lamar mean?
In Arabic it means "liquid gold", the legendary substance alchemists sought as the elixir of life. A name echoed in the golden bottle and in the warm light of the fragrance.
