for him
Spiritually, number one represents beginnings, focus and determination. Kajal l, with its fresh, engaging warmth, has been crafted to underscore one’s innate dignity and charisma. Cassis, grapefruit and mandarin provide the big “hello!”. Guaiac wood, cardamom, orange blossom and cashmeran draw people in, while a soft vanillic cloud of sandalwood and oud extend the allure.
Perfumer: Christian Carbonnel
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a man who enters a room already in motion: post-workout, composed, and still carrying heat in the skin. The citrus flash and spicy woods give it a direct, confident edge, while the ambered base keeps it smooth enough for close conversation.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, or whenever you want the spicy woods to stay crisp rather than heavy. Apply 2–4 sprays for a noticeable but controlled trail; on warm skin it opens bright and energetic, then settles into a creamy guaiac-oud warmth that lasts well in the air.
Who it’s for
For those who like woody-spicy fragrances with a fresh opening, smooth ambered depth and a confident masculine profile. It suits wearers who prefer polished sensuality over sweetness, and who enjoy scents that feel energetic, warm and slightly muscular.
Release year
2015
The nose
Christian Carbonnel and Rosendo Mateu. Carbonnel, also known as Chris Maurice, is a Spanish perfumer associated with polished, sensual compositions that balance clarity with depth; his work often moves easily between bright citrus, florals, woods and ambered warmth. Mateu is equally respected for elegant, modern structures with a tactile, refined finish. Together, they give Kajal I its clean lift, spicy core and smooth, lingering base. Carbonnel’s broader signature is a confident, crowd-pleasing richness that still feels controlled, while Mateu’s style often adds compositional discipline and texture. In Kajal I, that combination reads as a fresh but assertive woody-spicy scent with a warm, charismatic drydown.
Collaborators
Moe Khalaf and Ibrahim Faris shaped the house’s concept and narrative direction, building Kajal around story-led perfumery, cultural symbolism and a luxury presentation rooted in self-reflection and dignity. For Kajal I, that framework supports the fragrance’s theme of focus, charisma and a strong, masculine presence.
Kajal’s story
Kajal is a niche house built around symbolic storytelling, refined presentation and an East-meets-West identity. Its name draws on kohl and the idea of khajal, linking beauty with modesty, dignity and inner grace. The brand favors fragrances that feel personal and expressive rather than purely decorative.
Kajal I’s concept
Kajal I was launched in 2015 as one of the house’s early signature fragrances. The composition was built around a bright, attention-getting opening and a warm woody-spicy heart, echoing the brand’s idea of beginning, focus and determination. Some listings note that it was later revisited under a different presentation while keeping the same composition.
Extra info
Kajal I is part of the early core of Kajal Perfumes Paris and is sometimes listed under the name Homme. The fragrance is credited to Christian Carbonnel and Rosendo Mateu, and its note structure combines citrus, guaiac wood, cashmeran, tonka and oud for a modern woody-amber profile.
