Kajal IIIAromatic Hesperidic Eau de Parfum

Kajal III by Kajal is a fresh, aromatic, unisex eau de parfum with citrus notes. Lemon zest and lemon soda side by side.

Kohl, modesty, and two men from the world of luxury

Kajal Perfumes Paris was founded in 2012 by Moe Khalaf and Ibrahim Faris, and its first fragrance was released in 2014. Both come from the world of luxury: Ibrahim Faris started at nineteen in Jordan before becoming brand manager of the Al Tayer Group in Dubai; Moe Khalaf spent ten years at YSL Beauté, eventually heading the Saudi market, and later served as Middle East Regional Director at Estée Lauder. The name says it all: kajal refers to kohl in Indian culture and comes from the Arabic word khajal, meaning modesty. The house is based in Dubai, but its fragrances are primarily composed in France. This creation belongs to the ARQAM collection — the numbers in Arabic, the house's numbered line.

An opening of lemon zest and soda

Lemon zest brings the essential oil of the peel, fatty and bitter. Lemon soda appears alongside it: sweet, sparkling, and artificial in the best sense of the word. Grapefruit completes this citrus opening.

A heart of ginger, neroli, and rosemary

Ginger brings spice, neroli the light scent of orange blossom, and lavender and rosemary a Mediterranean aromatic quality. The fragrance moves from citrus to herbs without ever becoming warm.

A base of ambroxan and patchouli

Ambroxan brings its mineral, salty diffusion, patchouli earthiness, amber warmth, and musk longevity. It is this base that allows such a vibrant composition to last.

The house's signature touch

The same fruit in two opposing forms, in the same opening. Zest is the most natural thing about a lemon — the pressed, bitter, oily peel. Soda is the most artificial thing about it — sugar, bubbles, flavoring. Placing them together creates a citrus note with two interpretations, giving this opening an immediate identity where citrus fragrances all sound alike.

For whom, and for what occasions?

Fresh, aromatic, and citrusy, this eau de parfum is for those who love citrus and aromatic fragrances and are looking for a lemon scent that lasts more than an hour. From spring to summer, for daytime wear. It is the brightest fragrance in the catalog.

With Kajal III, the most natural and the most artificial aspects of the same fruit come together.
