Masa is a unisex eau de parfum by Kajal Perfumes Paris, fresh, luminous and multifaceted like a diamond: a woody citrus that combines fruit, grapefruit and herbs with an ambery base of woods and vetiver. Signed by Marc Daniel Heimgartner, it is a versatile, modern perfume created for those who love freshness with character.
The Fragrance
Masa belongs to the Gem Collection and was launched in 2023. Its name refers in Arabic to a single, perfect diamond: just as no two diamonds are identical, no two people are alike. For the brand, the diamond is a symbol of resilience, everlasting love, purity and new beginnings, a precious light born from darkness and pressure. The emerald green glass bottle, with its geometric lines, is decorated in silver with the phases of the moon, a symbol of strength, abundance and enlightenment.
How It Evolves on Skin
The opening is fruity and sparkling: mirabelle plum, a small, juicy yellow plum, joins bergamot, grapefruit and ginger root, in a bright, lively start. In the heart the fragrance becomes aromatic and fresh, with an aquatic accord, petitgrain and cardamom, supported by the earthy depth of patchouli. The base is woody and ambery: vetiver, Atlas cedar and guaiac wood blend with amber, vanilla and a powdery touch of violet, in an elegant, long-lasting trail.
Who We Recommend Masa To
We recommend Masa to those who love fresh but never ordinary perfumes, with a fruity, woody soul, and to those looking for a versatile niche fragrance to wear during the day, in their free time as well as in town. It is at its best in spring, summer and on mild autumn days. It is a perfect unisex that suits men and women alike.

FAQ
Which perfumes does Masa resemble?
The comparison enthusiasts make most often is with Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Absolu, with vetiver in place of sandalwood; it is also likened to Comme des Garçons Amazing Green. Masa, however, has a woodier, more aromatic character, with mirabelle plum as its signature.
What is the mirabelle you smell in the opening?
It is a small, sweet and juicy yellow plum: in Masa it gives a fruity, bright opening that many recognise immediately as the fragrance's distinctive trait, before the aromatic and woody notes emerge.
Is Masa more masculine or feminine?
It is unisex in the truest sense: the fruity, luminous side wins over women, while vetiver, cedar and guaiac are much loved by men. The result is balanced and suits anyone.
What does Masa mean?
In Arabic it refers to a single, perfect diamond. The brand chose it to express the uniqueness of every person and resilience: like the diamond, born from darkness and pressure to become precious light.
