  Symbolically, three is a powerful number which holds great significance as it represents the wholeness of a completed cycle. The past, the present, the future. encapsulating spirited vibrancy, Kajal III has been meticulously created to honor all forms of determination and fortitude”. -A note from the brand.

Kajal III (Kajal Homme III) is the epitome of invigorating freshness, full of vibrancy, and bursts at the top with an energetic blend of grapefruit and ginger with a lemon soda accord. It is the Yin to Kajal IV’s yang (wild and sensual, an alluring exotic warmth that embraces you with sultry spiciness) but with outstanding longevity, according to Steven, III is a real compliment getter.

Kajal III Notes: Top: grapefruit essence, lemon zest, sparkling lemon soda, Heart: ginger, rosemary, neroli, lavender; Base: ambroxan, patchouli, musk, amber

  • Steven Makes great content & gives comparisons that help understand the product

    I live in Tennessee , USA

  • I really would love to get my hands on this after reviewing and reading blogs about it. Must really smell great. I want to see.

  • Steve is one of the BEST fragrance reviewers on YouTube.
    His review on this one had me as soon as he said lemon soda. And it has grapefruit, a favorite note of mine.
    Hope I start the new year perfectly by winning this gem.
    Thanks guys!!

  • Ramses Perez says:

    I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a lemon soda accord on a fragrance. This does sound very fresh and fizzy as described by both Michelyn and Steven. Yeah, it does sound like a big complement getter, typically fresh fragrances do I’ve come to find out. I don’t own any KAJAL fragrances currently so dying to deep dive into the house! This sounds like a summer heavenly fragrance. Cheers from NJ, USA

  • Awesome Review Steven I Definitely Want To Get My Nose On Kajal 3
    I like lemon soda in the notes

  • I recently sampled Kajal III and IV and they are both amazing fragrances. As Michelyn stated, Kajal III is truly invigorating and has exceptional longevity for a citrus based scent. I love the ginger and lemon soda – it’s reminiscent of walking through one of the many parks scattered amongst the streets of Tokyo on a warm spring day. As Steven said, the longevity is stellar and it is compliment puller for sure. He also mentioned how well the Ambroxan works in this fragrance and I have to agree. Ambroxan is a note I am often sensitive to as it often causes me to go noseblind in a lot of formulations, particularly in “blue” fragrances, but I can actually enjoy this one all day. This one is a hit for me and I would love to add it to my collection. Best of luck to all. I live in NC, USA.

  • BeckaBella3 says:

    Steve has me intrigued with his description of the opening, I mean lemon soda accord sounds juicy and I personally love bright and joyful scents. Extroverted is a word I wish described me more lol I am more of a introvert personality wise but love my scents to do more of the talking for me and convert me into a more extroverted person…greetings from California, USA.

  • Steven’s enthusiasm for this fragrance was my favorite part. I’ve been eyeing this so I’m fully motivated to try it now.

    I live in Derby, Connecticut

  • sammyscents says:

    I don’t have any Kajal fragrances yet but have been watching some of your past videos and I’m very intrigued. Kajal III sounds delicious. I love everything lemon.

  • Steven’s description of the lemon soda note intrigues me. I also like the sound of the light patchouli. The freshness, performance, and overall profile of this fragrance is one I would love to try. I live in CT, US.

  • I came across Steven’s Youtube video for this perfume and it has piqued my interest! I love most scents citrus and his enthusiasm has me wanting to try Kajal III.

  • Brad Woolslayer says:

    I enjoyed learning that this fragrance is long lasting and a compliment getter. I enjoyed the comparisons to Tyger as well. I live in Maryland USA.

  • Bryan Smith says:

    Steven’s description of the scent profile is what I look for in a fresh fragrance. I live in Ohio, USA.

  • I liked learning a bit more about patchouli, which I wasn’t expecting given the bright notes I will say I’m a huge fan of grapefruit in scents, and the fizzy soda aspect sounds great. Would love to get my nose on it in warmer climes. In maryland.

  • kellyatwood says:

    I love how Steven describes fragrances in such depth. This one sounds absolutely delicious!! I live in Austin, TX 🙂

  • I enjoyed how Steven described this perfume as having an effervescent lemon soda accord in the opening and has similarities to Vibrato by Sospiro and Tyger by Bvlgari, two fragrances which have been spoken about often in the fragrance community. For a citrus fragrance to have ten plus hours of longevity is very impressive considering it’s a citrus forward one. Versatility isn’t a slouch either, spring, summer and autumn would be the seasons this shines the most. I’ve never tried any Kajal fragrances, although this is one I’m sure I’d enjoy. Thank you for the opportunity. New York, USA.

  • I have a decant of this scent and it’s wonderful! Steven described the scent perfectly and explained what notes I am smelling at different layers. I didn’t know about the ambroxen but that makes it very fizzy along with the citrus as Steven explained. This will be great for summer and would love to have a full bottle.

  • I hope to Meet Steven at Scentxplorer 2024. His reviews are so on point. I am in Wilmington DE and would be thrilled to win Kajal 3. I sampled it via virtual Scentxplorer 2023 and loved it!

  • Unforgettable review i have to say , thank you Steven ♀️
    Such an interesting, adventurous, and at the same time cozy fragrance, I can make a statement wearing Kajal III
    Steven’s ’s review was like a tale from the Oasis in the Middle East , with grapefruit, ginger , lemon soda and reasonable amount of aromatics .
    Thanks for the note from Kajal , and also to Michelyn for the extra information on the perfumer
    My favorite Kajal fragrance is Joorie, high quality spicy sweet rose ,with honey , I like it a lot.
    Thanks for the draw

  • unwanted_person says:

    As a scentlover living in a tropical country, i’m interested on the summery vibes (citrusy) of this perfume.

  • Lemon soda. Right there, I got my attention to Stephen’s video.
    This fragrance makes me think (and missing) of spring and summer.

    I love the longevity and projection. Stephen mentions the projection from the 2nd to 8th hour, projects at elbows length? For a fragrance of this style, that’s fantastic.

    From Massachusetts.

    Kajal III Notes: Top: grapefruit essence, lemon zest, sparkling lemon soda, Heart: ginger, rosemary, neroli, lavender; Base: ambroxan, patchouli, musk, amber. I am intrigued by the notes especially especially lemon soda, ginger, Patchouli and musk. The fact that Steven described this as a real compliment getter just highlights this house strengths. My favourite from this house is Kajal Homme. Thanks a million from the UK

  • but with outstanding longevity, according to Steven, III is a real compliment getter. I particularly intrigued by longevity and that this is compliment getter. The notes sound sumptuous especially lemon zest, grapefruit essence and ginger this sounds like a effervescent fragrance. Thanks a lot from the United Kingdom

  • This sounds sounds so fresh and indulgence. Starting from the beautiful and regal bottle to the notes.
    Congratulations Kajal

  • As someone fairly new to the realm of fragrances I’ve been watching a lot of stevens videos. 2 months ago I bought greenlion on his recommendation which is sort of similar to this (lots of ambery freshness) and absolutely loved it!, I’d like to give this a try too.

    My locale is in Massachusetts of the USA

  • Karl Marquez says:

    I live in Long Beach, CA.

    my favorite part of Steven’s video is the smelling portion. I love seeing others try perfume. I received a sample of this from the Perfume guy, and i LOOOVE Kajal III. I’m glad Steven also like it.

  • AromaDulce73 says:

    Those 3 notes sound amazing. Grapefruit, ginger with a lemon soda accord, wow. This is something I would love to add to my collection. I like how Steven talks about the beautiful dry down and how unique this fragrance is. A compliment getter.

  • Shibuichi2000 says:

    It’s mastery to get longevity out of a ‘freshie’, so, kudos to Kajal.
    This sounds mouthwatering and refreshing, I guess I would’ve like to see it in a different color of bottle :).
    I’m from EU, thanks for the chance of winning Kajal III.

  • I love Stephen’s short, informative and capacious descriptions, which give an immediate insight into the fragrance and often his opinion coincides with mine, which is why I love Steven’s reviews. His description vividly illustrates the invigorating freshness of Kajal III, emphasizing its vibrant and energetic opening with grapefruit and ginger notes, coupled with a lemon soda accord. The exceptional longevity of Kajal III, portraying it as a compliment-worthy scent, makes it even more appealing for me.
    I didn’t try many perfumes by Kajal, but the one I tried Dahab, I fell in love with!

    I live in the EU (Germany)

  • Never tried anything from Kajal, although I read countless reviews and good opinions on their fragrances. I would love to start my discovery journey of this house with Kajal III

    Thank you!

  • IvanVelikov says:

    With or without Kevin Mathys thanks to Steven i know Kajal III is a winner , very much a refined yet valiant fragrance, with some classy grapefruit ginger , sparkling lemon soda and aromatic components.
    Steven made me think of a future classic coming from Kajal , and I like the natural feel , and the fact it’s long lasting , both are important to me.
    The quality Kajal III is definitely there , and for a long time now I can’t stop admiring the designer’s work , Kajal hired someone very talented , astonishing work again. I tend to believe the fragrance will suit me well .
    Homme II and Dahab are in my possession
    Thank you Steven , Kajal, Michelyn
    USA

  • Like the Yin to Kajal IV, how beautiful!
    This fresh, zesty, sparkly concoction sounds absolutely wonderful and makes me dream of better, warmer days in the dead of winter.
    The notes sound classic and delicious, and I was relieved about Steven’s reassurance on ambroxan in this one. I find it to be a bit of a tricky note in some fragrances, so I’m happy it works well in this one.
    Commenting from the EU.

  • I have been looking forward to Steven’s review of this scent because this particular scent profile and style of fragrance is one of, if not my absolute favourite. And of course as always, Steven does an impeccable job of not only describing Kajal III and how it smells, but talking about the ‘vibe’ of it. So hearing from him that it can be worn both casually and professionally makes it a scent that I am no longer just interested in – I really want to own a bottle!

  • 2001martin.pichler25@gmail.com says:

    I really liked the detailed description of the heart note, but I haven’t had the pleasure yet to try a Kajal perfume. I live in Austria

  • While I haven’t tried any Kajal fragrances yet, I’ve been captivated by your previous reviews. Kajal III, with its promising notes, especially the lemon, sounds absolutely delightful. I’m eager to experience the blend and explore the refreshing qualities of the fragrance. I am from Austria

  • Steven’s review has me interested. Love the lemon note . This sounds like a wonderful citrus fragrance. Thank you for this chance USA

  • As always, I really like Steven’s reviews because they are really informative, enjoyable and fun to follow. Love the fact that he compares to other scents in order to make us understand the type of scent you should expect. Kajal is a definitely a brand that knows how to make hit perfumes: and this one seems really nice and great to wear. Impressive to hear that it has a long longevity, given the fact that it is a citrusy fragrance! I think it is a perfume that I would but for my husband as what I call a boomerang present (i.e. it also goes back to me and I can wear it too, LOL!), would love to sample it! Greetings from Milan

  • Looking forward to lemon soda in the opening. I don’t have a favorite from this house. US

  • Lemon soda accord, long lasting and compliments. Yes Please. My favorite is Masa. Just love it and bought a bottle. Thank you for telling us that the other site listed the wrong perfumer. USA

  • Invigorating freshness, full of vibrancy, that bursts at the top with an energetic blend of grapefruit and ginger with a lemon soda accord sounds about right in my books, and also something to wear and look forward to for the spring weather.
    Thank you!

  • I’ve always love Steve’s note descriptions and breakdowns and glad to have discovered his channel even before he joined CaFleureBon. This video is true to his style and Kajal Homme III sounds very desirable especially with the comparison with Bvlgari Tygar which is my favorite from the Le Gemme line of Bvlgari. I’d be super stoked to win Kajal Homme III. I’ve only smelt Dahab from Kajal and instantly added it to my ever-growing list 🙂 I’m in USA

  • I love Kajal, and own a few bottles. I would love to try and own more from this brand but unfortunately at the city I live we don’t have any niche brands only designers and some lux. Thank you for the generous giveaway.
    With love from USA

  • I’ll admit that the note from the brand doesn’t tell me much about Kajal III, but “invigorating freshness” sounds wonderful, and I’m particularly intrigued by the lemon soda accord. And that bottle is striking. As usual, Steven’s video was detailed and enthusiastic; I like how he gives the note breakdown some context and provides a sense of how the notes are weighted. He also called Kajal III “gregarious” and “extroverted,” but it sounds like the heart and drydown dial that “effervescent” opening in a bit, even while retaining freshness. I’d reach for this one in warm weather—it sounds terrific. Thanks for the review.

    I’m in the USA. I haven’t tried any Kajal fragrances.

  • A citrusy lemon soda with ginger sounds effervescent and perfect for hot summer days. Steven is effusive in his praise for Kajal III. I would love to try it. I’m in MD, USA.

  • ThatMulattoDude says:

    I’ve heard a lot of good things about this house. As Steven was describing this fragrance, Sprite is what came to my mind…fizzy, lemon soda. As always, the presentation and atomizer are nice aspects of the fragrnace as well. I would definitely like to add this to my collection. Appreciate the giveaway opportunity. Many blessings from Virginia, USA!

  • I enjoyed how he described this perfume what fascinated me was the description of the opening of this perfume, he said that has this „bright tangy lemon” which sounds fascinating. I never tried anything from Kajak so I don’t have a favorite but Kanal III sounds beautiful. I live in Trzebnica, Poland, EU.

  • Ahh yes finally this is being brought up! While I do agree that Steven makes great review videos, what differentiates his style amongst the others is the ebb&flow of his verbiage especially with reviewing KJ-III. Suffice to say he had me at “lemon soda + ginger”!

    I am posting this comment from Fremont CA

  • Citrus is not usually something that wins me over, but this sounds like a fun one! Steve always paints a beautiful picture!

    Pennsylvania, USA

  • The thing I enjoy the most in Steven’s reviews is that he paints a great picture of the fragrance and he puts you in a mood for it.
    I live in Athens, Greece (EU)

  • thee_boy_wonder says:

    I love the fragrances that Steven compared this too! I am sure this will be a knock out for sure! Citrus + Amber + spice = MAGIC

    Pennsylvania, USA

  • Another banger review from Steven! He is my go to reviewer when I look for new scents and want an in depth description of one. The fragrance sounds delicious, I really hope I can be the lucky person to win this masterpiece!

    I live in Slovenia.

  • Rodney Huynh says:

    I never had any Kajal fragrance before. The Kajal II sounds very interesting but it’s out of my range.
    I live in Oklahoma, USA

  • Love the scent profile and in depth cover by Steven. Really enjoyed Bvlgari Tygar and knowing the similarities in notes/family as Steven says makes me even more interested. Longevity is a definite plus and will KAJAL fragrances in general will be in my radar with its presence on the top 10 series and KAJAL III.
    From USA.

  • Another great review by Steven! He’s very informative, honest, and knowledgeable with comparisons and definitely one of my fav fragrance reviewers. I like the house of Kajal and my fav scent is Faris followed by Lamar.
    New Jersey, USA

  • Pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to surprise anyone on a blog made for fragrance experts and enthusiasts , but I own 2 Kajal fragrances already Lamar and Almaz.
    Local Kajal official distributor where I bought Lamar and Almaz do not have Kajal III and IV yet , I called them to ask for both.
    Not sure who wrote it, is it another note from the brand, or some other expert on Cafleurebon, but I love the Yin and Yang juxtaposition between Kajal III and IV, I’m even more excited now. Thanks to Redolessence i feel like Homme III is not just fresh , long lasting , there is patchouli too and the unique note ot lemon soda , spirited vibrancy delivered.
    Thank you, and fingers crossed
    Lisbon Portugal (EU)

  • Lemon soda not sounds good. Steve describing the opening and then going into the heart notes with that rosemary is giving me dreams of spring. I wish I was familiar with the other fragrances he was comparing. I have not smelled anything from this house. Thanks for the chance. USA.

  • Steven does a very thorough job with his reviews. Clear and concise.
    Great presentation of scents.
    Grapefruit lemon and ginger make this seem like a spring summer scent.
    Oklahoma USA

  • Steven take on Homme III, with the help of Michelyn introduction reminded me of making and later on eating Ginger and Grapefruit Cheesecake .I imagined eating the cake, and later on eating it with fresh just made Lemon Soda , and enjoying the moment.
    Being a Pastry Chef is my passion, and I always relate fragrances to some sort of food. My two favorite Kajal fragrances are Dahab and Lamar .
    Dahab is really musky, woody and kind of dusty , with mostly natural fruity sweetness. The smell reminds me of eating Granny Smith Mousse Cake with passion fruit, and non candied slices of the apple on top , while sitting next to just cut Cedar Lumber.
    Lamar smells like Vanilla Cake with Strawberries and Pineapple , I do it almost every day at my bakery.
    Appreciate the review, the introduction, and the giveaway campaign
    USA

  • FragranceIsMe says:

    Lemon soda accord, grapefruit and ginger by definition are so refreshing. Unique and compliment worthy. Plus great performance. This one checks many of my boxes.
    USA

  • Such a vibrant and juicy review ! Redolessence took me to a Summer trip to Mediterranean seacoast, white linen dresses, slippers, maybe a few cocktails, tranquil experience made out of lemon soda , ginger and variety of citruses.
    Yes I do have a favorite Kajal fragrance, I wear Lamar all year long
    Thank you kindly, from EU

  • I am very intrigued with the lemon soda accord. A few aromachemicals pop into my mind when I think about how they could have achieved this note, and makes me very interested in wanting to try it. I love Tygar and Vibrato, so this fragrance is something I would definitely love to experience! I am from Boston, MA USA!

  • I appreciate how genuine Steven is in his videos. He explains and describes things so clearly and it makes the videos so fun.
    Best, from California, USA

  • PerfumesforLife says:

    beastly fresh citrus based fragrance? yes please!
    I always have that problem with fresh scents is that they do not last. But with added base of patchouli amber and ambroxan, I am excited!
    The ginger/citrus/oceanic blend seems like the kind of blend I was looking for especially with power.

    favorite Kajal is Lamar

    USA

  • Kajal III is a symphony of invigorating notes, seamlessly blending the zesty freshness of grapefruit and ginger with a hint of effervescent lemon soda. As Steven aptly notes, Kajal III is more than a scent; it’s a compliment magnet, a true testament to its outstanding longevity.
    Hugs from Romania

  • First of all thank you steven for hte amazing review as always.
    I’m familiar with Kajal’s Middle eastern oriented fragrances but a fresh take from Kajal is what i’m missing to smell, i would absolutely love to own one.

    From France (EU)
    Greetings

  • I enjoyed how Steven didn’t shy away from the fact that Kajal 3 smells a lot like Tygar but with some differences. I live in PA, USA

  • Achieving over ten hours of longevity in a citrus fragrance is remarkably impressive, especially given its emphasis on citrus notes. Additionally, its versatility during the spring, summer, and autumn seasons is awesome. I know people are likening this to Tygar and Vibrato. I like both of those a lot and sparkling effervescent type citrus is one of my favorites. NYC

  • Sherin Thomas says:

    Steve is one of the BEST fragrance reviewers on YouTube.
    His review on this one had me as soon as he said lemon soda. And it has grapefruit, a favorite note of mine.
    Hope I start the new year perfectly by winning this gem.
    Appreciate the giveaway, from PA, USA

  • Love What the note from Kajal says
    “Symbolically,three is a powerful number which holds great significance as it represents the wholeness of a complete cycle…”
    I can emphasize to such cryptic messages. I’m attracted to fresh and vibrant blend of grapefruit and ginger, and the unique lemon soda accord , Kajal III is charismatic fragrance that could easily lift my spirits up .
    My favorite Kajal perfume is Homme II.
    Thank you Redolessence for the review,and of course for the generosity
    EU

  • Big time yes to upscale niche perfumery, daring approaches and aesthetics , Kajal III is a fragrance I’ll gladly wear.
    Kajal is one of my favorite brands, indicate fragrances with unique genetic core , long lasting and with one of a kind bottles. Based on Redolessence view Kajal III impresses me with the sense of vibrant energy, freshness, lemon soda , aromatics , sustenance and residue
    Lamar i own , my favorite
    Thanks a bunch

    Hello from UK
    5 things i find particularly attractive in Kajal Homme III based on the time i’ve spent on Cafleurebon today
    1. Redolessence exuberant review
    2. “The past, the present, the future. encapsulating spirited vibrancy” , part of Kajal note
    3. Yin and Yang parallel with Kajal III and IV
    4. Alluring lemon soda , ginger and ambroxan combination
    5. My previous experience with Kajal, delighted owner of Lamar + Almaz.
    Thank you so much

  • Michael Prince says:

    I love Steven’s detailed review if Kajal Homme III. He is also so well spoken and gives his honest and professional opinion and has always been one of my favorite reviewers. I love Kajal Perfumes and own several of their fragrances including Kajal Homme II. Kajal Homme III sounds very fresh, bright, and invigorating compared to II. I love spicy and aromatic DNA of Kajal Perfumes. My favorite fragrance from Kajal Perfumes is Kajal Fiddah. I am from the USA.

  • I already wear Kajal Homme (I) on almost all occasions, 3 bottles i bought in US , and recently my fourth from Ausliebezumduft , one of premier German niche boutiques. It’s one of my staples, and I know I’ll buy 5th too.
    I know a few other Kajal fragrances, but not the the brand’s two new editions , Kajal III and Kajal IV. It seems to me Kajal III is high end , refined fragrance with some zesty citruses, rosemary, lavender and like Redolessence also said oceanic personality.
    The good thing is that Kajal III changes quite a bit, something I nourish , Redolessence is impressed too , always a good sign. I believe the hidden perfumer made a great one.
    As usual Kajal heavy metal caps, and the whole presentation is top notch
    Thanks to all involved
    Germany

  • I like that is described as fresh and invigorating and the lemon soda opening is appealing; they’re the easiest to wear in any season. Very nice pattern on the bottle, would be in front of the display.
    Thanks, I’m in the EU.

  • I very enjoyed in Steven’s video review that he described the perfume so well and I really like the notes. Thank you for the chance. I live in Europe.

  • I appreciated Steve covering the longevity which can be hard to achieve in citrus forward fragrances. And lemon soda who is not intrigued? I would love to try this! In California US. Thank you

  • If adept like Redolessence is found of Kajal III in such a way i know the fragrance is really good, and not just good but also long lasting.
    Personally I’m interested in the fragrance due to its fizzy lemon soda essence, aromatic components and ginger blend. The easy to love fresh warmth I’ll gladly embrace myself.
    Lamar is outstanding
    Much obliged
    EU

  • foreverscents says:

    I love extraverted and effervescent fragrances. I am thrilled to hear that Kajal III lasts a long time; citrus fragrances usually fade so quickly. The ginger and grapefruit notes sound very refreshing as does the fizzy lemon soda. I can see why this fragrance will receive so many compliments. I haven’t tried anything from Kajal.
    I live in the USA.

  • wandering_nose says:

    I love lemon in every form and shape and I have been increasingly liking ginger notes recently. Since citrusy fragrances have the unfortunate quality of not lasting long, Kajal III stands out in the crowd. I take Steven’s expert word for it – I would love a citrusy fragrance with longevity, endurance and sustenance. The notes in the dry down might seem simplistic but they belong to my strong favorites and are certain to provide lasting power. I like that the ambroxan can already be detected in the opening. Gregarious and extroverted – those descriptors of Steven’ warm me up to Kajal III even more. I am super curious to try Kajal III and would gladly welcome it under my roof. My favorite from Kajal so far has been Kajal IV. Thank you from the EU.

  • “Note: A very large fragrance site and data base erroneously credits Kevin Mathys of CPL Aromas as the perfumer of Kajal III. Both the perfumer and Moe Khalaf told me this is not correct information, Kevin Mathys signed IV only.-Michelyn” all data base websites up until recently credited Kevin Mathys
    As usual Steven did a great job with her review of Kajal III. I wear fragrance for my own pleasure only , compliments are welcomed, but not something I particularly look for.
    Kajal III is indeed super fresh, zesty , a bit herbal heart , spicy ginger fragrance with outstanding performance , both sillage and longevity are top notch. In comparison with Bvlgari Tygar , Kajal III is just a bit sweeter and floral, i like it better than Tygar.
    I wonder why ,since technically Kajal III and IV are logical continuations of Homme and Homme II the name Homme is missing out of their names..
    I know all Kajal fragrances, excluding the more abstract Lamar Caviar , and if I have to rate my favorite ones :
    1.Lamar/Almaz
    2. Homme IV/Dahab
    3.Kajal Homme/Kajal III
    All profiles I already follow, @waltherp99bg . I also follow @eaudemoe , Moe Khalaf side project , and designer Omar Ayoub , the true genius behind Kajal bottle design
    Thanks a lot

  • After Danu Seith-Fyr spoke of Kajal IV in her best of last year, I now also enjoyed learning about Redolessence Impressions of Kajal III , and I’ll try to express my opinion on the topic.
    It’s hard to find fresh citrus fragrance with power and endurance that’s not synthetic, I’m glad Kajal III is one of such rare exceptions. The lemon soda is something I’m enthusiastic about , and the clean patchouli and ginger are making the whole story complete. I own Dahab
    Thanks to Redolessence, and for the giveaway
    From EU

  • Another new gem by Kajal , like in the famous song , diamonds are indeed forever and ever , so Hello Kajal III
    Dahab is the only Kajal fragrance I know, it smells like picnic basket full of fruits , juiciness and other surprises.
    In terms of scent profile Kajal III is unlike Dahab fresher and less sweeter , yet in terms of quality it’s cut from similar elaborate cloth , high end fragrance i can wear on to parties with a few cocktails.
    Lemon soda, grapefruits , lemons, ginger and ambroxan fragrance .. here i come inviting Summer aroma called Kajal III
    I’ll treat myself with Grapefruit and Lemons Mojito, fresh mint leaves, white rum , grapefruit juice, soda ,lemon juice and simple syrup , refreshing cocktail just like Kajal III
    Cheers , and thank you for the opportunity

  • Jacob_Rogan says:

    Salutations
    I’m coming from Redolessence YouTube channel
    My impressions are most people associate Kajal Perfumes with Lamar, the best pineapple fragrance I’ve ever smelled. Kajal III is tempting for the a) freshness b) spiciness c) lemon soda d) performance
    It’s been a pleasure
    UK

  • Kajal III i believe is fragrance with a strong character , filled up with the best of the best fresh and spicy ingredients , and the unique lemon soda accord
    Well dosed aromatics and longevity are always appreciated , not to mention compliments ,i’m a vain person after all

  • Thanks for the giveaway! I love thinking of lemon as a warming smell! Normally I associate it with a cooler, cleaner smell.

  • Steven always describes in detail what he loves about a fragrance.

    What stood out to me for his review of Kajal III was the lemon soda element that helps to provide a fresh citrus accord that actually has ** longevity **.

    Most fresh fragrances lack this and these are the 2 attributes that appeal to me the most.

    I live in the GreaterToronto Area of the US/Canada.

    Thanks for the review Steven!

    THis is such an interesting fragrance for Kajal. The lemon soda opening, the warmth from the ginger and the ambroxan, musk, patchouli, benzoin base make this a pretty cool fragrance.

    I haven’t had a chance to smell this house as yet.
