by Kajal
Almaz by Kajal is a bright, juicy, and gourmand fruity fragrance that evokes a summer vacation vibe. It opens with a vibrant burst of citrus—Amalfi lemon, Calabrian bergamot, and mandarin orange—giving it a tart, refreshing lift that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. The heart features a creamy blend of raspberry, blackcurrant, heliotrope, and Turkish rose, creating a soft, powdery floral fond that feels light and playful. In the dry down, the scent settles into a sweetly creamy base of brown sugar, vanilla, and sandalwood, with subtle musky and woody undertones that add depth and warmth. The fragrance is notably powdery, with a noticeable vanilla-gelato character that some compare to fruit gelato or chewy marshmallow. While the performance is moderate with longevity and sillage, it delivers an intense, radiant scent when worn, particularly in warm weather. The scent is unisex in character but leans feminine with its sweet, fruity, and creamy profile. It's occasionally described as synthetic or plasticy—especially on first application—but many users find it becomes more enjoyable with time on skin. The elegant bottle and inclusion of a complimentary tester of Lamar add to its appeal, making it stand out for fans of high-performance fruity gourmands.
