Lamar by Kajal is a vibrant, fruity floral with a bright, fresh pineapple opening that transforms into a rich, powdery rose heart with warm, sweet amber and vanilla base notes. The fragrance opens with a juicy, natural-tasting pineapple and green apple, underscored by fresh cardamom and coriander, creating an engaging and uplifting burst that feels both sweet and slightly spicy. The middle stage brings a delicate, realistic rose—less jammy, more ozonic and slightly mossy—evoking the Diptyque L'ombre dans l'eau vibe, blending seamlessly with jasmine, magnolia, and a soft musky undertone. The dry down is warm and lightly gourmand, with vanilla, amber, cashmere wood, and a hint of cedar, bringing a soft, powdery sweetness that lingers subtly but distinctly. Despite some comparisons to Baccarat Rouge 540, most agree it shares the general elegance and tenacity but is distinctly different—less sultry, less medicinal, with a lighter, more refreshing character due to the pineapple and floral complexity. It has a strong presence and excellent projection, making it a standout in any setting, particularly during spring and summer, and leaves a lingering, elegant trail even after wear. The scent is unisex in intent but leans feminine, offering a sophisticated balance between playful fruit and refined florals, suitable for daytime events and evening outings alike.
