Kajal II

Kajal II by Kajal is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin, bergamot, lemon, orange blossom and amber, moves into peach, lavender, rosemary, sage, cinnamon and clove and dries down to sandalwood, oakmoss, patchouli and musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
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.
Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.

Heart

Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.
Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.

Dry-down

Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
