Kajal stands out for its refined style
and opulent details. Each fragrance
is conceived as a complete olfactory

and an iconic eight-pointed star top,

Described as “a light in the shadow, a beacon, a guide”
this luminous new fragrance from Kajal Perfumes
Paris is the fruit of a fluid conversation and
spontaneous sharing of experiences and
emotions between the brand’s Creative
Director, Moe Khalaf, and Vincent
Ricord, the nose behind the fragrance,
who did not “clearly have in mind a
perfectly finished fragrance, but what was
clear was the emotion I wanted to
convey through this fragrance”
paying tribute to one of the most
authentic and universal values:
friendship.
“The creation of Topaz occupies a
special place in our hearts. It came
into being without intention, from a
simple and very beautiful moment
between friends. The conversation flowed,
ideas were entwined and creativity was unfolded in a
completely natural way. What followed was moulded
by that instant, a memory of beauty that we can
create when we are truly connected and inspired
by those around us,” added Moe Khalaf. Over the
centuries, the topaz has been considered a symbol
of protection, loyalty and connection. It has inspired
this fragrance which celebrates the warmth and the
strength of the bonds that can cross through the
seasons of life. The opening notes are an elegantly
lively fusion of black lemon, elderberry flowers,
with rum oil and orange blossom, symbolizing
abundance and happiness. The middle notes offer
an embrace of cassis, cedarwood, candied lemon
and absolu of rose, representing emotional depth
and resistance. Lastly, the base notes reveal a warm
and sophisticated union of ambergris, ambroxan,
musk and cashmere wood, the symbol of comfort
and resilience. The contrast comes from the citrus
and volatile opening of Topaz and the deep and
intense woody notes, together with the sweet and
warm base notes, which meet in the fragrance.
