My first encounter with Kajal Perfumes was at Esxence 2019. I didn’t spend as much time as would have liked but I revisited the house at Max Forti’s ScentXplore event in New York City (where I live as well). I ran into our reader/viewer Gerald Martin Moore at their booth.

Gerald is one of the most elegant men I have met in recent years and a lover of niche perfumes (he is a well-known voice teacher and vocal consultant as well as the host of the Metropolitan Opera radio show). He was with Sebastian at ScentXplore and was testing Kajal Homme. Gerald asked my opinion and I lifted his wrist to my nose and said”buy it”. And Gerald did. Kajal Homme isn’t loud or showy; it’s a classically composed fragrance by perfumers Christian Carbonnel (Masque Milano Mandala, Zoologist Camel to name a few) and Rosendo Mateau. Homme was the first fragrance for men by Kajal released in 2015, yet has that timeless classic quality. Gerald works with many musicians and singers… so it’s their voices that should soar, not his scent. As I found with Gerald, there are times when a fragrance should sing quietly on the skin not shout.-Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief
The dominant notes in Kajal Homme are: Tonka, Cashmeran, Mandarin Orange, Guaiac Wood, Patchouli, Cardamom, Sandalwood (oud come through as well)
