Kajal Homme II

Just got this in and have been wearing it all day. So what does it smell like... on first spray I immediately thought of Roja Dove Reckless Pour Homme, and after just looking up the notes I see they share quite a few of the same. Followed by the OG. Kajal Pour Homme 2 retains the dark woody base and DNA of the original but adds more of a fougere touch to it and I think it smells amazing. It has a bright, energetic opening, slightly soapy, and almost has a shave foam feel to it because of the smooth lavender, cedar wood, sandalwood, and oak moss. There is a slight talcum powder vibe and it’s very aromatic with it’s lemon, clary sage, rosemary and orange blossom. The cinnamon and clove give a nice spicy kick and the mandarin orange and peach are mouthwatering. The green notes are most prominent in the opening but have pretty much remained throughout the wearing. I cannot wait to give this some more wearings. This is a style fragrance I love and because of its depth, there’s still much to be explored and it’s quite dynamic. It’s almost like there’s two fragrances in one here... a dichotomy. You have the warm, dark, amber and woods from the original, but with all of these bright citruses, herbs and spices of an aromatic fougere, all tied together with that sweet mandarin orange... it’s awesome. This is very well composed and made with high quality ingredients. I think it has a nice balance of synthetics and naturals and is very easy to wear. Just as the original, anytime, anywhere, but even more so since I think this can be pulled off easier in the summer. Definitely summer nights. As mentioned, this reminds me of the original, as well as Roja Reckless, but a bit more playful. I also find it somewhat similar to Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme, MFK Amyris Homme Extrait, and quite a lot of Nishane B-612 and Dior Sauvage Parfum. I would go as far as to say if you like Versace Eros (especially Eros Flame), Guerlain l’homme Ideal cologne, John Varvatos Vintage, Coach Platinum, Parfum de Marly Percival, Creed Viking, Tom Ford Beau De Jour, Roja Scandal, etc. you’ll like this. A very much welcomed addition to my collection. This makes me happy. Well done, Kajal!

Peyoteugly is spot on in terms of it's projection and longevity. I feel like I get olfactory fatigue very quickly with this while other's seem to pick up hours later. This is a beautiful fragrance that starts off with an earthy citrus that evolves into this semi sweet, earthy smell that just pulls you in. This is feels very rounded, and polished while still retaining its masculine qualities. It certainly could be used for dates - especially first dates - but it feels better served in nearly every other occasion. It's a dumb, masculine reach that exudes confidence and will be a fantastic contender for those looking to move passed Aventus as your mass appealing, high-quality signature scent. To be clear, this smells nothing like Aventus, but I feel like it would work in your collection exactly the same way - and in exactly the same situations. It says "I am an interesting, well spoken man, that likes the finer things in life" with just enough of an edge to spark a conversation. It's not loud, it's not cloying, and it will work in the board-room of a billion-dollar companies, or sitting around the fire with your boys. It just works.

Hairy chest peach-fruity all the time. Opens citrusy and warm. It’s not just a fruity perfume for hot weather and is more professional than other perfumes in this style. Many people say it resembles Black XS, but I didn't find it sugary - it has that fruity vibe, with the bandit peach being quite present, but it's not similar to Erba Pura - just a light resemblance. Cinnamon really appears and it doesn’t resemble Kajal Homme I itself. This is a fruity perfume for three seasons with a more professional touch, possibly due to the aromatics that always contribute to its evolution, less noisy yet with good performance around 9 hours on the skin, projecting just above moderate for a good 2 hours but nothing intrusive. It's not my style of perfume even though I really enjoyed it.

Really beautiful fragrance that doesn't get much appreciation. Id categorize it as a blue fragrance albeit a much classier one than Sauvage and the like. Probably more somewhere between PDM Layton and Blue de Chanel Parfum. Added however is a super unique peach note that makes this one stand out. You could say it's a bit like an ultra luxury shower gel type. The two fragrances Layton and BDC Parfum do not smell exactly the same as the Kajal but it is rather the scent direction (fresh / fruity / sweet with light spice....) and target group that is similar. Basically guys that have a lot to spend on fragrances because this one is definitely up there. I was lucky enough to find it heavily discounted thankfully.

I had the luck of winning this in a giveway from the kind people from cafleurebon and Kajal, and I thank the gods of luck for that, I LOVE this scent. I'm just a normal guy that likes smelling good, and this for me is so "suave" , really elegant and lovely. Even though I thought I didn't like sweet perfumes, I was surprised how I liked the swetness from the cinnamon. Kajal Homme II for me is like a sweeter version of Bleu de Chanel EDP (their opening are nothing alike, but the drydown have similarities), everyone around you will like and compliment you throughout the day (on my skin lasts for hours, and on clothes last days!!) .
