Ruby
Ruby by Kajal is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with red berries, coconut, almond, pineapple and cherry, moves into whipped cream, powdery notes, ice cream and brown sugar and dries down to musk, vanilla, amber, benzoin and tonka bean. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
- Cherry Sweet, syrupy and a bit almondy. Currently everywhere.
Heart
- Whipped Cream Airy, milky sweetness. Light rather than dense.
- Powdery Notes Soft, dusty and cosmetic. The feel of face powder more than any one flower.
- Ice Cream Cold, creamy and sweet. Vanilla milk with a frozen edge.
- Brown Sugar Molasses-rich sweetness. Warmer and deeper than white sugar.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
