Lamar NoirWoody Fruity Extrait de Parfum

Lamar Noir by Kajal is a woody, fruity and gourmand unisex perfume extract. The dark reimagining of Lamar, and the contrast, is primarily due to its concentration.

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. Lamar Noir belongs to the GOLD collection.

An opening of green apple and violet

Bergamot opens with a crisp citrus note, while green apple adds a tart crunch and the fruity notes provide body. Violet introduces a powdery quality from the outset that hints at the depth of the base.

A heart of caramel and rose

Vanilla and caramel establish the gourmand character, while the balsamic accord brings a warm resinous quality. Rose, geranium and floral notes bring back the flower — Lamar's heritage is here, but darkened.

A base of leather, oud and guaiac wood

Leather and oud provide the darkness, guaiac wood the smoke, and sandalwood and cashmere wood the creaminess. Amber, moss and musk complete a base of nine ingredients.

The house's signature touch

The dark version is not just another formula; it is a different concentration. Where Lamar is an eau de parfum, Lamar Noir is an extract — denser, longer-lasting, with a base that takes up much more space. Leather and oud do the rest: they replace the original's golden radiance with a nocturnal material, without abandoning the rose that linked the two.

For whom, and for what occasions?

Woody, fruity and gourmand, this extract is for those who love Lamar but find it too radiant, and for lovers of gourmand leathers. From autumn to winter, for evening wear. It is the densest fragrance in the collection.

With Lamar Noir Kajal, it is not the formula that changes first, but the concentration.
