RubyGourmand Fruity Eau de Parfum

Ruby by Kajal is a fruity, gourmand, and vanilla-scented unisex eau de parfum. Its heart is made not of materials, but of textures.

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. Ruby belongs to the GEM collection, named after precious stones.

An opening of cherry, pineapple, and coconut

Cherry opens with candied red fruit, while pineapple and red fruits add juicy sweetness. Coconut introduces a milky note, and almond adds a nuttiness—five materials, all edible.

A heart of brown sugar and creams

Brown sugar brings a brown sugar sweetness, whipped cream adds airy lightness, and ice cream provides a dense coldness. Three ways to express sweetness and richness without naming a single flower or wood.

A base of tonka bean and benzoin

Tonka bean brings back almond and cut hay, vanilla adds sweetness, and benzoin provides its balsamic resin. Amber and musk add warmth and longevity.

The house's signature touch

The heart is made entirely of textures. Brown sugar, whipped cream, ice cream: these are not perfumer's raw materials, but states of matter—granular, airy, cold. Building the center of a fragrance on sensations rather than ingredients is a rare approach, and it is what gives Ruby the richness of a dessert rather than a candy.

For whom, and for what occasions?

Fruity, gourmand, and vanilla-scented, this eau de parfum is for those who love milky gourmand notes and red fruits and are looking for a creamy dessert rather than a flat sweetness. From autumn to winter, for evening wear. It is the most gourmand fragrance in the catalog.
