The Union of Eastern Opulence and French Craftsmanship
Founded by Moe Khalifeh and Ibrahim Faris, Kajal Perfumes Paris was conceived to bridge two storied olfactive worlds:the radiant heritage, hospitality, and rich raw materials of the Middle East, paired with the sophisticated structural discipline of French fine perfumery.
The house draws its name and creative ethos from a dual cultural etymology: the Arabic word khajal—evoking modesty,humility, and graceful reserve—and the ancient cosmetic kajal (kohl), long used to protect, define, and enhance the beauty of the eyes. This interplay between understated inner nobility and bold, mesmerizing presence defines every composition in the Kajal portfolio.
Collaborating with celebrated master noses such as Mark Buxton (Lamar, Almaz), Christian Carbonnel / Chris Maurice (Dahab, Kajal Eau de Parfum), and Kevin Mathys, Kajal is renowned for creating high-concentration extraits and eau de parfums with remarkable projection and endurance on the skin:
-
Dahab: The house’s cult-favorite golden elixir, pairing crisp Granny Smith apple and tart passion fruit with a heart of cedar and a warm, velvety amber-musk drydown.
-
Lamar: An opulent, radiant composition built around sparkling pineapple, sun-drenched bergamot, Bulgarian rose,and caramelized vanilla woods.
-
Almaz: Inspired by the Arabic word for diamond, uniting crisp blackcurrant and succulent raspberry with heliotrope and white amber.
-
Kajal Homme & The Fiddah Collection: Dynamic, aromatic, and smoky woods engineered for depth, structure,and magnetic presence.
Each fragrance is presented in an architectural glass flacon anchored by Kajal’s iconic, heavyweight metal cap—an intricately carved eight-point geometric star inspired by traditional Mughal and Arabic decorative geometry. Kajal Perfumes represents an uncompromising standard in modern luxury: rich, expressive compositions that celebrate individuality, beauty, and authentic olfactive art.
