Almaz

I don't read reviews before I write my own so sorry if this has already been said/redundant, but this smells like gummy bears. I'm getting green gummy bear because of the packaging but they all kinda taste the same to me apart from the superior pineapple flavor. This smells how those taste, but it doesn't have an obvious pineapple scent if that makes sense? It's quite a superior fruity scent. I already own Lamar from this house which smells like a creamy pineapple upside down cake and this is the glazed fruits on top. I've been getting a lot of tanghulu videos on my algorithms lately and this is a tanghulu perfume. Crispy and sweet and not too much yet just enough of all the right things. This might be in the top 5 things I've smelled all year, and top 10 fruity scents I've smelled, ever. It's getting so much harder to finalize my list of perfumes I want to buy at Christmas time, but this is a problem I created myself because I have to sample everything. If you're looking to add a fruity perfume, this is it. Also, if this means anything to you one way or the other, Megan Thee Stallion uses this perfume and I can see why. If I was rich enough this would be one of my signature scents too.

If anyone has a full bottle of this they're trying to sell message me!!! I am the most picky when it comes to fragrances, but can easily like any scent profile if it is well done, so I definitely think this is worth testing. I've tried hundreds of perfumes and Almaz was the first perfume I've ever smelled where I loved in instantly, and had zero reservations about particular notes rubbing me the wrong way. I get a bright citrusy guava/some tropical fruit, then it dries down to a slightly sweet gourmand with fruity raspberry touches. Definitely not a linear scent, you get the fresh fruits, then the mellow sweet floral raspberries, then the vanilla woody (definitely not too woody) dry down. Very realistic fruits to someone who has a picky nose, and doesn't have the synthetic plasticky feel of other fruity fragrances. If anyone is familiar with chinese guava candies, it has a similar scent but richer.

I hate all other perfumes of this house and I tend to be VERY cautious with all those eastern-wannabe brands that have been flooding the fragrance-market these days. That said, this one is a really REALLY nice and playfull fruit bomb that smells really natural (nothing like sospiro, erba pura, God of Fire etc that stink like toxic, spilled over, garage chemicals). To my nose, its mostly a mango-peach, fresh fruit juice that dries out creamy-vanillic, like a vanilla-mango sorbet. It has a clean feeling to it too, like shampoo-bodywash. Its very similiar to the mango body yogurt from bodyshop. I dont know how this is not hyped at all. Its the best fruity-tropical perfume I have smelled. Makes you thirsty for a mango daiquiri cocktail at the beach. My man loves it as well.

I've had my bottle for about two years now, and I've always liked it. It's beautifully unique. It IS strong, and it's really sweet and creamy; so if raspberries and cream with a shot of black currant and a drop of pink rose doesn't sound good to you, just don't even. That being said, upon first spray, it honestly gives me amoxicillin vibes. I was never mad at amoxicillin though😂 it's raspberry flavored! The dry down on skin is long lasting and a compliment MAGNET. The man in line at the grocery store, "I don't know who it is but somebody smells GOOD." The cashier pointed right at me, "It's her. I wasn't going to say anything, but since he did... what IS THAT?"👀😂

Nothing groundbreaking here BUT! I love this perfume. It's a juicy fruity bomb that just makes me happy every time I wear it! I wore it non stop for 2 weeks straight which rarely ever happens anymore given how many other "treasures" I have in my collection. I get an apple cider vibe even though there is no apple in it. The black currant and raspberries are mouthwatering and addictive while not necessarily ultra realistic. It is sweet but not confectionery type of sweet- just fruity-floral sweet through and through. Leans feminine and has a decent lasting power of 4-6 hours. Love! P.S. Similarities to Halley TT are legit.

Almaz is very sugary sweet. It is quite green in the background and the sandlewood gives it a slightly creamy feel. It somehow reminds me of a brown sugar Mohito; Sugary sweet, with the green leaves but then the raspberry/ blackcurrant stand out. If you don't like these notes or really sweet perfume, I would stay clear because it is a beast and will stick to your clothes. But for me, this is unique and Juicy. I enjoy it. It is not like Erba Pura and such to me. This is more dense/ thick and sweet in comparison. It's nicer than Lamar IMO but i like sweet perfume.

First of all, Beautiful bottle! But as @Bwiller said, it is hard to match the scent with the bottle. I thought the scent would be little bit dark and mysterious based on the bottle, but the scent was actually bright, pleasant, citrucy and fruity. For anyone who loves kirke, erba pura, mango skin and/or delina, this is a good choice. On me, after the burst of citrus combination, it turns into bergamot, raspberry, brown sugar and vanilla. It definitely gives a summer vacation vibe. I wish it had more rose, but I guess if it did, it would too similar to lamar.

I love this scent. It is very different from most other fruity scents as it adds an element of earth and musk to the fruit that makes it smell like a deodorant after it's been worn a bit. I know that sounds strange but an underarm deodorant mixed with the scent of clean sweat (not funky sweat due to impurities coming out the pores), has a certain element of sexiness that's recognizable but hard to duplicate in a fragrance. Almaz does it the best. But God of Fire (dupe Sceptre) and Oud Maracuja (dupe Azzure Aoud) are able to duplicate that smell as well.

There was a lot of hype around this fragrance and now that I own it I can say it is as good as advertised, if not better. Great balance of freshness and sweetness. Leans feminine for sure but still unisex in my opinion. Incredible performance and compliment magnet. Unique, beautiful presentation. If you don’t like raspberries you most likely won’t enjoy this but definitely worth sampling

i have Joorie and Jihan from them. Those are in my top 10, this has just entered. Such a nice sweet fruity smell with a bit of spice. SOOO good cant stop smelling myself. Lasts an easy 8+ hours and youll have a very nice scent bubble all day. Will continue to buy from this house since they have yet to disappoint.

Makes me sad this is getting compared to Erba Pura... Almaz is better blended and just smoother, classier and doesn't contain a polarizing animalic accord. Almaz just needs time to macerate. Trust. Spray her, put her in a dark, cool space and let the magic unfold a couple months later. It's worth it.

The black current and raspberry are the prominent fruity notes in the fragrance. The brown sugar is balanced with the fruit and it creates a scent that feels luxuriously sweet. It is very good, not syrup-like nor airy. Very feminine. I prefer it to Lamar.

My fragrance taste leans toward green(ish) skin scents or big, slutty fruits/florals. This is very much the latter category. It’s loud, juicy, and creamy/powdery. Wear what you want, but this is a very femme fragrance.

The fruitiest perfume I’ve ever smelled. I have received numerous compliments on this one! My favorite, “you smell like a tropical fruity cocktail” :) Love Almaz!

I’m not sure if I want to drink it or bathe in it but this is delightful and delicious. Youthful and sexy and fun :)

Selling my bottle in the UK, message if interested

Superb fruity scent. Absolutely unisex.

The perfumer behind this, Rania Jouaneh, made the only vanilla fragrance I love, called Musc Moschus. That's pretty impressive considering I've tried +300 fragrances! My favorite notes are fruits (especially blackcurrant), sandalwood, musk and citrus. So on paper this seemed absolutely perfect. But this unfortunately gives me a migraine. Around half of all fragrances do. So I won't be buying this or actually wearing it. But it is a nice scent! I smell more musky sandalwood than blackcurrant or raspberry here, which makes this less "summery" than I expected. Not at all like Burberry Her or Daisy Eau So Fresh, which are true pure raspberry fragrances. This is creamier and fuller with more body. And yes, I do also smell mango/passion fruit/peach in this, as in a general "fruit" smell that's also found in Erba Pura. This just smells more expensive and less synthetic. Imagine a creamier and fuller Erba Pura with less harshness, and you're pretty close. All of these mega-performance fruity fragrances seem to share common themes. I also recognize the same Erba Pura/Kirke smell in Head & Shoulders. It's probably some long-lasting fruity aromachemical that's utilized differently by each perfumer.

This is pretty amazing! It is am amazing combination of fruit salad, fresh musky laundry detergent (clean musk, not overwhelming at all, trust me, I hate musk in general, so if you're like me don't be afraid to try), quality niche perfume, powdery deodorant (not much of it, but I get some whiffs of powderiness among the juicy fruits) and tropic ice-cream. Very refreshing, sweet, delicious and well suited for hot weather. Performance is decent and as soon as my bottle macerates a little, I'm sure it will be even stronger. This is like all those fruity scents from Tiziana Terenzi, I.e. Kirke, which I would love to love, minus all the thongs which prevented me from liking them! Also, I prefer Almaz over any other fruity scents by Kajal, because other do have that overwhelming musk in them. Also, I usually don't review bottle design, but here I have to make an exception. It is horrendous. Looks like some cheap low quality Arab/Middle Eastern perfume, I was discouraged from buying or even trying the brand because of that.

Almaz feels like a fruity-musky cloud built around sweet tutti frutti candy vibes, blackcurrant, bergamot, mandarin, and soft musky sweetness. It opens bright, tart, and slightly powdery, almost in the same family as Erba Pura-style fruity musks, but softer and less overwhelming in the drydown. As it settles, it becomes warmer, smoother, and more cozy — like sweet yellow gummy candies wrapped in a soft musky aura. The drydown is definitely the best part for me. It’s well-made and quite unique, but also has that “fruit bowl” effect where many fruity accords blend together into one abstract sweet-fruity impression rather than distinct notes. Feminine-leaning, wearable year-round, with moderate projection and decent longevity close to the skin.
