Kajal Homme

Kajal Homme is a woody, sweet masculine fragrance created in 2015 by Christian Carbonnel and Rosendo Mateu. Wood leads, sweetness follows closely, and smaller groups notice spice, musk, flowers and citrus.

The top is fruity and bright: pink grapefruit adds a sharp, bitter zest, black currant a tart, jammy note and mandarin orange a sunny sweetness. In the heart, orange blossom gives a clean floral touch, cardamom a cool spice, guaiac wood a soft smoke and cashmeran a warm, fuzzy, musky wood. The base deepens with oud for a dry, dark wood, patchouli for earthiness and sandalwood for creaminess, while vanilla and tonka bean add a rounded, almond-like sweetness.

Kajal Homme suits evenings, dinners and the cooler months, though the fruity top lets it work in the daytime too. It should appeal to men who like sweet woody scents with a touch of oud.
