{"product_id":"kajal-iv-edp","title":"KAJAL IV","description":"\u003cp\u003eKajal IV is an eau de parfum by Kajal Perfumes Paris devoted to leather: warm, enveloping and with a hint of sweetness that makes it instantly recognisable. Signed by French perfumer Kévin Mathys and launched in 2023, it is a unisex fragrance with a bold character, created for those who love scents that leave a mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Fragrance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKajal IV belongs to the Arqam Collection, the house's numbered line (\"arqam\" means \"numbers\" in Arabic), and was conceived as a tribute to nomadic exoticism and the African savannah: golden sand as far as the eye can see, warm wind and the feeling of a journey that stays in the memory. For the brand, the number four stands for calm and balance, the four elements, the four seasons and the four cardinal points. Presented at Pitti Fragranze in September 2023 alongside its twin Kajal III, it entered ÇaFleureBon's Top 10 of 2023 and was a finalist at the 2024 Art and Olfaction Awards in the Independent category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Evolves on Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is warm and slightly boozy: \u003cstrong\u003edavana\u003c\/strong\u003e, with its fruity, almost liqueur-like profile, joins \u003cstrong\u003erum\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblackcurrant\u003c\/strong\u003e and a touch of \u003cstrong\u003ecardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e that lights up the composition. In the heart, a soft, suede-like \u003cstrong\u003eleather\u003c\/strong\u003e emerges, accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003ejasmine\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epalm flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e, which add brightness and an exotic nuance. As the hours pass, the fragrance settles onto a sweet, deep base of \u003cstrong\u003edates\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emusk\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ewoody notes\u003c\/strong\u003e, making the leather ever warmer and more enveloping, with a subtle smoky impression that many notice on skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho We Recommend Kajal IV To\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend Kajal IV to those who love leather fragrances but want them softer, warmer and more sensual than the classic dry leathers. It is perfect on cool autumn and winter days, for evenings and for occasions when you want to leave a clear impression. Although it was created as a unisex fragrance, it is also a favourite with those looking for a strong, elegant masculine scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrance Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntensity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e★★★★★\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLongevity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e★★★★★\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSillage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e★★★★☆\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGender\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnisex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Opinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKajal IV is one of those perfumes you recognise the moment someone walks past: it has real presence without ever being heavy-handed, and its quality comes through hour after hour.
