Spiritually, number two symbolizes balance, a reminder that we are all connected. When we attune our inner self with our outer experiences, a profound equilibrium emerges. Kajal II, with its peach and bright aromatics playing against deep oakmoss, sandalwood and musk, is a tribute to this serene duality.
Perfumer: Rosendeo Mateu
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a person who has already moved through the workout and is now stepping back into the day with composure intact. It suits close, active spaces where freshness needs to feel deliberate rather than sporty: crisp, clean, lightly herbal, and never sugary.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its citrus-herbal opening stays vivid and the woody base remains smooth. Apply a moderate hand, two to four sprays, to keep the aromatic top notes bright and the mossy, musky drydown close enough to read as clean rather than heavy.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like aromatic-spicy fragrances with a crisp, groomed feel and a dry woody finish. It will appeal to those who enjoy lavender, herbs, citrus and patchouli in a composition that feels fresh, savory and understated rather than sweet or dense.
Release year
2021
The nose
Rosendo Mateu is a respected Spanish perfumer known for polished, textural compositions that balance clarity with depth. His work often leans into refined woods, aromatics and musks, with a modern, elegant structure rather than loud effects. For Kajal II, Mateu’s style shows in the fragrance’s controlled freshness: bright citrus and herbs are shaped into something smoother and more composed by patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood and musk. The result feels disciplined, clean and quietly charismatic.
Collaborators
Christian Carbonnel co-created the fragrance with Rosendo Mateu, bringing his experience in modern niche composition to the structure and balance of the scent.
Kajal’s story
Kajal is built around the meeting of Middle Eastern inspiration and French-style luxury perfumery, with a strong emphasis on symbolism, dignity and emotional storytelling. Its philosophy centers on khajal: humility, modesty and treating others with respect, translated into fragrances that feel polished, cultured and deliberately composed.
Kajal II’s concept
Kajal II was launched in 2021 as a continuation of the house’s numbered line, framed as a study in balance and serene duality. The concept pairs bright aromatics with deeper woods and musk, echoing the brand’s interest in symbolism and in fragrances that connect inner feeling with outward presence.
Extra info
Kajal II is part of Kajal’s numbered line and was created by Rosendo Mateu with Christian Carbonnel. The house uses the idea of balance as the fragrance’s central theme, pairing bright aromatics with deeper woods and musk.
