by Kajal
Kajal Homme II is a modern, well-balanced masculine fragrance with a bright, aromatic opening that evolves into a sweet, woody, and musky drydown. The top notes bring a fresh, juicy citrus and green profile, highlighted by mandarin orange, bergamot, and clary sage, delivering a clean, slightly soapy feel reminiscent of high-quality shave cream. As it develops, the scent reveals a warm, spicy heart with cinnamon, cloves, and lavender, layered over a creamy, fruity peach and subtle sweetness, creating a rounded, inviting character. The base boasts a silvery musk, patchouli, sandalwood, and oakmoss, which lend depth and longevity. Though projections are modest to moderate and not overwhelming, it often lingers well on the skin for over 8 hours, even if sillage remains intimate. It has a dynamic evolution, starting vibrant and sparkling before settling into a refined, skin-scent-like drydown with an earthy-green and amber undertone that adds sophistication and sensuality. The fragrance appeals widely due to its pleasant, approachable profile, with some users comparing it to Roja Dove Reckless, Bleu de Chanel, or Kajal's original Homme, while others note its niche-like quality with natural-sounding accords.
