Joorie

Joorie by Kajal is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with nutmeg, clove, ginger, bergamot and lemon, moves into rose, ylang-ylang and orange blossom and dries down to tonka bean, oud, musk, sandalwood, honey and cedarwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.

Dry-down

Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
