Kajal is the Dubai niche house founded in 2014, composing French-trained Middle Eastern-inspired perfumery at Eau de Parfum and Parfum strength with European noses including Mark Buxton, Cécile Zarokian and Patrick Muller. Anchored by saffron-rose signatures and ambery orientals, with Lamar Noir and the Warde Collection extending the line into darker territory.

Lamar for the saffron-rose accord that put the house on the global map, Lamar Noir for the nocturnal Extrait sibling, Almaz for the fruity-vanilla amber. Eight to ten hours, moderate-to-heavy sillage. The full Kajal catalogue is at Khrisha in Australia.
