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 :)

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.

This smells so good. A Tart, fruity, sweet, creamy & woody candy dream. I sense a strong guava/ passion fruit vibe to this. The amalfi lemon & Calabrian bergamot adds a much needed tartness to tame the sweet fruity ness. At times I get raspberries & it kinda reminds me of Burberry her edp( replacing the strawberry with raspberry), on a woody creamy base. Then at times I get peaches. It’s very interesting & creamy which reminds me of a fruit gelato as well. I’m surrounded by a comforting cloud of vanilla gelato topped with raspberry syrup & lemon zest. As refreshing as a raspberry lemonade sweetened with brown sugar. She’s playful, comforting and fun. Enjoy 🥂 ✨

It’s got a mouthwatering raspberry-vanilla combo that's reminiscent of raspberry-mint ice cream. It's a fun, sweet, and playful scent that opens with a sharp, punchy sugary note but smoothens out in the dry down. So glad this doesn’t have any weird musky notes that ruin a lot of perfumes in this genre. While it's a lovely fragrance, it may lean a tad bit juvenile. Performance is wild. You really don’t need more than 2 sprays. Update- The sweetness here becomes a bit too overwhelming after an hour or so. It’s too much! Not something I’d want to wear on any occasion to be honest. This had great potential but the overdose of sweetness ruins it.

I get pineapple, with cranberry/raspberry, very fruity, sweet, yet tart, but not in a sour way. Just a little acidity to cut through the sweetness. What I find most special about this fragrance is the lactonic note (not declared). It smells like a cheesecake with lots of fruit on top. It’s pretty unique. Although I can detect the same pineapple-rose base as Lamar, they are quite different. This one is much fruitier and sweeter. It’s a strong like for me. I love the house of Kajal. Very good quality and great performers.

This smells like a mojito to me. I get zesty bitter lime, fresh mint, and white rum. It’s very refreshing and perfectly unisex. I can smell subtle hints of pineapple and maybe coconut water. I don’t find it heavy or overly sweet. It’s literally a mojito in fragrance form. Great for super hot summer days.

Reminds me of xerjoff Ebra Pura just a better blended version. It's very sweet you will get compliments but not everybody can pull this off. It's so sweet that it may come off as cheap and headache inducing. I would wear on a summer day rooftop vibes so it's not so cloying in an enclosed space. 6.5/10

Fruity and Juicy fragrance that I can't determine when I used it several times, until my gf tried it and smelled it on me, she said it's like rich tropical Mango Orange Juice and now it hits me and I appreciate the scent more now that recognize the scent.

I smell mango and very sweet cream. This perfume is especially good in winter. Longevity and sillage are excellent. Even after washing the T-shirt, the smell was noticeable. But I'm not a fan of sweet scents. 8/10

To me, this smells a lot like mango. Think of Erba Gold but slightly more feminine and sweet and a more realistic “fruity” or “mango” scent.

(Writing this review from a male/masculine perspective) I love Lamar; it's probably my favourite fragrance, and I've been interested in trying Kajal's other fruity-bomb scents to see if those are good too. So that is the perspective from which I am writing this review. I'm not uber-masculine and into dark and heavy, so this combination of notes intrigued me, so there might be others who feel that way too... More feminine than unisex, fruity, casual, playful and youthful. Almost playful and youthful to the point where this is probably more for younger women in a more casual setting. Guys, don't be afraid to wear what you want if you like it, but in comparison to Lamar this falls short in quite a few ways. It does not smell as expensive and luxurious as Lamar, for one. I'm not familiar enough with women's fragrances, but my first instinct was "I'm sure there are way cheaper fragrances that smell just like this." In fact there's something about this that gives me the feeling of a combination of a sweet and fruity moisturiser/shampoo/body spray combo. It smells like somebody who used a cocoa butter-like body lotion, an apple-scented shampoo and a fruity body spray walked by, and this is their sillage. Again, this is written from a male/masc perspective, so none of this is to say that Almaz is not good, but just to say if you like the vibe and scent profile of something like Lamar and are hoping Almaz will give you something similar but with a different selection of fruits, that probably isn't the case. Seek out a sample though, or find a place that sells it and give it a sniff. Smells nice, but it just isn't for me.

I’ve never smelt TF Bitter Peach but Kajal Almaz is what I would expect it to smell like. To my nose, I primarily get a ripe peach/apricot scent. Obviously there are other accords but they’re all minor background components. Along with the sweetness I get a bitterness that can resemble body odor, similar to some grapefruit fragrances. For that reason, I would not wear KA on a date or as an office scent. I would also avoid wearing this in high heat, where you may sweat and accentuate the bitter BO leaning accord. I consider it a unisex fragrance...definitely not masculine. Overall I like KA but it doesn't live up to the hype lavished upon it by the YouTube influencer hype machine. Kajal really must have sent out a lot of free bottles of this stuff. I will continue to use my decant of KA because I really like the smell of peach and apricot but I will not be purchasing a full bottle. And I’ll only be wearing it for my personal enjoyment around the house or running errands.

I’ve seen a lot of hype around Almaz online so I was excited to try this one, but I have to say I don’t really get it. This scent has three noticeable aspects to it: the first is the refreshing juiciness, vivid blackcurrant and an array of citruses bring quite a pleasing freshness to the scent which is both satisfying and enjoyable. The second is the sweet, fruity florals - a strong dose of raspberry is joined by subtle powdery florals which to me add a slightly feminine vibe. Thirdly is the gourmand: thick, creamy vanilla and sugar dominate the base of the scent which really ramps up the sweetness. Overall this is a pleasant fragrance, I can see why people like it but good lord is it sweet. It’s not the best sweetness either in my opinion as it’s very synthetic to the nose. In my opinion I find this smells a lot cheaper than what the asking price actually is.

Tried this and wanted to love it with how beautiful the bottle looks. But this scent made me realize I don’t like raspberries in fragrances, and because of that I don’t enjoy this one. It is very sweet and fruity so it does lean feminine to me even though it’s marketed as unisex. But as a man wearing this I don’t enjoy it. Similar to Burberry Brit Rhythm Intense that I own, the raspberry note in Almaz comes off as rubbery to me. Almost like a sweet latex glove. But after a while, I get tired of that nuance in the scent profile. I think I’d prefer this more on a woman, but I as a man wouldn’t like to wear this on myself. For me I’d give this a 5/10 but for a woman I’d give it a 7/10

First thoughts on first spray, oh my this is sweet & immediately reminded me of something...it's taken about 30 mins & it was only when I started reading the notes that it clicked- it smells like Devotion by D&G & the reason it was firing in my brain is that my OH is wearing that today! As far as Unisex, to me it leans heavily feminine & I could only see someone masculine wearing this if they would wear Devotion- they are that similar. I own a few sweet fragrances but I'm sitting writing this enveloped in sweet vanilla & it's maybe just a bit too much for my tastes, maybe if it was colder. Nice but not for me.

The packaging is work of art!! I love it but the scent? Hhmmm its not my cup of tea. I am more gourmand person, even in summer I like gourmand like vanilla or coffee. This is very fruity; raspberry, powdery, super sweet! I find erba pura better (if it would not be for that screetchy musk). Perhaps, fruity fragrances are not my alley anymore.

So I’ve been trying to find a perfect fruity scent to wear in hot humid weather as I live in the tropics. I researched and found great reviews on this so I did my first blind buy and what an expensive mistake that was. This perfume opens with a scent reminiscent of body odour and is overall synthetic and headache inducing. Very disappointed.

I really want to love this but it is way too sweet on me. It samells like assorted jellybeans to me. Tried to layer with it to tone down the sweetness but this powerhouse always come through. If you love a sweet, fruity, and candy-like fragrances, this one is for you.

While I can smell the fruitiness, it smells extremely cheap to me. The price is not justified at all. The fragrance smells sickly to me, and the black currant is too strong.

Don’t get me wrong it smells nice but I almost threw up cus it’s far too bright and sweet for me wasn’t expecting it at all before I sprayed.

Синтетичен сладък аромат, подобен на ароматизатор за въздух. Касисът е прекалено силен и като цяло, за мен ароматът не оправдава цената. Като изключим това, поне е дълготраен 🙂

Fruité écoeurant, très féminin , odeur assez synthétique similaire à des parfums bon marché...

Selling my bottle at a very reasonable price in California, message me if interested.

On my skin: awful. I don’t like this type of performance in a fragrance. Headache inducing nauseating sweetness and also impossible to scrub off after several tries. My partner was hit with a nuclear blast of this fragrance when I got into the car and we had to drive with the windows down. The blackcurrant in here smells like ammonia. Perfect to wear if you want to offend everyone.

I've been trying to find a way to describe the kind of sweetness that's in Almaz, because it's also in PDM Oriana and Ansaam Gold by Lattafa. When I read "powdery sweet" in someone's review below, that's exactly it -- because my personal take is that the sweetness in this is very reminiscent of confectioner's sugar. There are so many types of "sweet" in fragrances....marshmallow, chocolate, florals, sugar, caramel, etc... But there's a whole different level of sweetness in confectioner's sugar that's not in granulated sugar. It's super concentrated, so a VERY little goes a long way. Sugar overload. To nail it down further....remember those chalky super sweet rainbow candy necklaces we wore and ate when we were kids?? Or sweet tarts? THAT's the kind of sweetness I'm talking about. I'm getting raspberry powdered sugar with a green note. It must be the way they're doing the raspberry in Almaz, Ansaam Gold and Oriana, because that's the common note they share. To be fair, I actually LIKE raspberry in fragrances (love Tory Burch Love Relentlessly....sparkling raspberry)! But the way it's done here is just too much for me...like being at the Sweet Tart factory and breathing in all the sugar. It's so intense it almost makes my throat burn.

I have to agree with some people some fruits just smell bad in fragrances like raspberries, strawberries, peach and pear. It must be very difficult for perfumers to actually make these ingredients smell high quality and realistic so most the time raspberries and strawberries end up smelling like plastic and peach/pears end up smelling just cheap almost like toilet spray..... However some fragrances do raspberry well like mont blanc individuel, rochas man..where as some do peach very well like 4711 white peach & coriander...and I think kajal almaz is just borderline in the middle. It does smell cheap and slightly plastic, but it's much better than a lot of others I have tried. And also most the time you see raspberry in fragrance it's ruined by either oud or cacao. So this is nice that it's not ruined by any other notes. I'll consider this synthetic and cheap smelling, but it does actually smell good especially the dry down it wasn't love at first sniff but I find myself addicted to the raspberry dry down the more I smell it.

This is super yummy, fruity, juicy casual scent. An everyday type of scent. It does give a cruz del sur ii vibe, erba pura or cassiopea a bit. But smoother. This is the first scent i buy from this house and im not disappointed. Some have said this scent is unique, but it does resemble the above. Nothing wrong w that as its its unique iteration i guess. I love this scent for sunny days, hot days too. I am a huuuuge sucker for stunning bottles such as all the Kajal ones. Really elevates the experience for me honestly. Casual scents are my favourite type as i wear perfume all the time n matter what i do, and this is just yummy. I smell mango or passion fruit not raspberry. Love.

Добрый день. Впервые попробовала этот парфюм на распив. Заказала 2 мл. Точно знаю что оригинал. Когда мне передали пакетик с пробнтками, сразу услышала приятный тёплый и в тот же момент прохладный запах. Не умею профессионально описывать ароматы... Но для меня он очень приятен. Я почему-то слышу немного яблоко с ванилью, хотя в пирамиде яблоко не заявлено. Немного малины. Когда его только наносишь и ближайшие часа три он играет разными нотами. Но в конце дня слышу только подреную сладость. Думаю это нормально. Любой парфюм в середине дня на мой взгляд лучше обнавлять одним пшиком. Мне очень понравился, обязательно куплю себе объём по-больше. Рекомендую.

This is such a cute summer scent. It’s not unique or anything. It also doesn’t smell like “niche” it seriously reminds me of Amo Ferragamo if it didn’t have vanilla and the fruits were amped up and fizzy. I feel like it could drink this, it smells like a drink even the bubbles at the top. I blind bought this and I’m not disappointed it’s cute but it’s winter here and it’s such a happy bubbly summer scent. I’ll probably still wear it around the house with the heat on until the winter ends. When I wear it I get whiffs of the most delicious sugary fruity scent

AMAZING! Stunning, beautiful, feminine fragrance. Very mood uplifting 🥰 I think it can compete with Delina's popularity. It instantly moved up in my fave list. It has some resemblance with Erba Pura's opening, which I wanted to last , but its dry down is scretchy and headache inducing. Now, Almaz nailed it down - you enjoy its sparkling beauty all the way down. Gorgeous! Get your nose on it. Note: 1. I am not a big fan of the cap; 2. The box comes w a 3-ml tester of Lamar and a guide book. Very pleasant.

As a gourmand lover- and a fanatic of all things fruity floral- this perfume was unique to my collection. It opens with that tart sweet tropical fruity element then dries down to a sexier but still fruity and tropical scent. Do NOT blind buy this! I had a small sample then wore an atomizer for a month before diving into a big bottle. The packaging is gorgeous if you love beautiful perfume bottles to display and it came with a 3ml sprayer of Lamar which I also am now swooning over!

WOW! I got a tester of this and I was so surprised how good it smells! Fruity in a light breezy way but full bodied. She’s a fun girl but is smart and knows what she wants! Projection lasted maybe 3-4 hrs elbow length. I leaned in to my patient to listen to her heart/lungs and she really liked it.totally unisex if you like fruity mango vibe. I will have a full bottle of this. I like it better than my Kirke or Erba Pura. Performant 6/10 Scent 9/10
