Warek
by Kajal
Warek by Kajal is a strikingly intense, smoky, and leathery fragrance with a realistic cannabis accord that dominates the dry-down. It opens with incense and saffron, offering a spicy, slightly jammy rose-patchouli base that gradually dries into a woody, animalic, and smoldering profile. The blend of oud, leather, guaiac wood, and vanilla creates a complex, warm, and slightly harsh balance that feels both classically oriental and unexpectedly pungent. It projects moderately to strongly and performs best in cooler temperatures, particularly during winter or evening wear. The fragrance is bold and polarizing—some find it deeply aromatic and compelling, while others perceive it as dirty, sour, or off-putting, especially on sensitive skin or in warm weather.
Pros
- +Features a highly realistic cannabis accord, making it uniquely desirable for fans of smoky, herbal, and artful fragrances.
- +Offers excellent longevity and moderate to strong sillage, making it suitable for evening wear.
- +Balances spicy, woody, and sweet elements (rose, vanilla, amber) to counteract the harshness of oud and leather.
Cons
- −The leather and smoky notes can feel overly sour, dirty, or sewage-like for some, especially on skin.
- −Not suitable for warm seasons or daytime wear as it may feel too dense and overwhelming.
- −Highly divisive—may be unwearable for those sensitive to animalic, rubbery, or severe accords.
