Kajal Homme II
Kajal Homme II opens with mandarin, bergamot, and lemon, amber in the top giving the citrus accord a warmth from the start. Peach and lavender in the heart soften the opening's brightness, cinnamon and cloves adding a spice that rosemary and clary sage keep from tipping into sweetness. The base is grounded: oakmoss and patchouli giving the composition an earthy depth that Rosendo Mateu and Christian Carbonnel balance with the sweetness of the sandalwood and the dry structure of cedar. A well-proportioned masculine fragrance with genuine longevity.
Why We Carry This
The lavender-peach heart in Kajal Homme II is the move that separates this from standard citrus-woody masculines. Rosendo Mateu's hand with the cinnamon-cloves spice against an oakmoss base gives the composition a classical structure updated with enough contemporary warmth to wear without self-consciousness. Consistent performance from a Paris-based house with strong Middle Eastern influence.
