Written By Zarin Tasnim

It’s bright outside, and you are cuddling on the couch with your lover. This small gesture of comfort comes alive with a few sprays of Almaz by Kajal.

So, without any delay, let’s get to the details of these alternatives of Kajal Almaz.

What Does Kajal Almaz Smell Like?

Kajal Almaz smells fruity floral with a blast of sweet gourmand elements. The tangy, stimulating vibe of lemons and black currant’s acidity flows towards the floral fantasy of the core. The subtle warmth of rose and heliotrope slowly turns more alluring as woody, musky notes arise.

The best part is the longevity, which allowed me to relish this scent for 12 hours with gentle sillage.

Now, let’s check out the note pyramid of Almaz by Kajal:

Top Notes: Black Currant, Calabrian Bergamot, Amalfi Lemon, Mandarin Orange

Middle Notes: Raspberry, Turkish Rose, Heliotrope, Orris

Base Notes: Brown Sugar, Madagascar Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Musk, Amber

I tried Almaz at a summer party. My friend asked me whether it suits my taste. And girl, the opening alone knocked my socks off.

Black Currant’s sensual aura mingled with the zingy, sweet hunch of oranges and lemon at the beginning, and though it vanished quickly, it kept lingering in my mind.

Then, the heart revealed its magical merging of Turkish rose and subtle-smelling heliotrope.

The earthy, peppery hunch of orris added a ray of sunshine to raspberry’s sweet, fruity olfactory profile.

I couldn’t get over the mesmerizing combination of Madagascar vanilla and brown sugar with sandalwood. Occasionally, I also sensed a hint of ambery nuttiness, which was the cherry-on-top combo for my friend.

She used Almaz for a couple of weeks and said its sillage and projection were notable, and it was a blind buy due to its affordability. I must say she won.

Halley by Tiziana Terenzi is the first fragrance that reminded me of Almaz. This unisex scent opens by combining the intense tropical nuance of passionfruit with lemon. This stimulating vibe will intensify the moment the rose’s floral delight merges at the top.

Powdery peach and raspberry are the stars of the core, where Paolo Terenzi added floral and green notes to create a mood-lifting environment.

As the middle fades away, the musky essence will hit your nose at first, along with vanilla’s creamy ambiance. Further woody notes complement the warmth of amber perfectly, which lasts for 12 hours with a notable trail.

2. Pop Heart Plume Impression

Top Notes: Pineapple, Strawberry, Apple

Middle Notes: Raspberry, Magnolia, Rose

Base Notes: Caramel, Vanilla, Musk

In 2021, Pop Heart came to the market with a fruity opening. If you are someone who loves the juicy freshness of fruits in their perfume, this is the one for you. But keep in mind it’s not a clone.

Though I’m not into red fruity fragrances, the mingling of strawberry’s freshness with pineapple and apple didn’t disappoint me. Also, it gave me an apple cider vibe surprisingly.

After a while, the middle opened up its lemony nuance of magnolia together with the rosy aura, which became more prominent as raspberry was also present there.

The richness of caramel felt sensual the moment vanilla brushed through my nose, along with musk’s subtle woody, earthy smell. Additionally, all you need is a few pumps to enjoy strong sillage and 12 hours of lasting capability.

When to Wear

Pop Heart Plume Impression is a perfect scent to use all year round. For your daytime activities like running errands or casual outings, it’s the right pick.

Why Should You Buy

  • 12 hours of longevity.
  • Opens with a blast of fruity ingredients.
  • Comes in an affordable price range.
  • Suitable for everyday use.
  • Excellent sillage.

3. Quelques Fleurs Jardin Secret Houbigant

Top Notes: Neroli, Bergamot, Yellow Mandarin

Middle Notes: Orris Root, Magnolia, Narcissus, Orange Blossom, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Rose

Base Notes: Ambrette (Musk Mallow), White Musk, Musk, Sandalwood

Quelques Fleurs Jardin Secret by Houbigant is an alternative of Kajal Almaz. Its top has a similar vibe to bergamot and yellow mandarin, but it’s a bit sweeter due to the presence of neroli, which you find in the original perfume.

After the bright opening, Luca Maffei kept the core soft, feminine, and warm with a hint of amber.

Orris root’s powdery, earthy aroma tunes in with the lemony lushness of magnolia, like sugar with water. Slowly, narcissus spices up the ambiance and adds a subtle tobacco scent, which is an excellent approach, along with rose and jasmine.

The base is about musk as it’s the most prominent note in this setting stage.

You will clearly sense the defined woody-earthy hunch of musk with white musk’s sensual reminiscent.

Ambrette and sandalwood elongate the whole nuance for a longer time, approximately 6 to 8 hours, which is a bit disappointing for an expensive perfume.

When to Wear

Quelques Fleurs Jardin Secret will serve you well if you are looking for a floral, woody musk scent for your summer and spring holidays.

Why Should You Buy

  • Moderate trail.
  • Tolerable astringent opening.
  • Lasts around 7 hours.
  • Sophisticated flacon.
  • Resembles Kajal Almaz.

4. Unholy Oud BORNTOSTANDOUT®

unholy-oud-borntostandout

Top Notes: Lemon, Incense, Bergamot

Middle Notes:  Laotian Oud, Turkish Rose, Bulgarian Rose

Base Notes: Palisander Rosewood, Vanilla, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Heliotrope, Tonka Bean

Dora Baghriche crafted this gender-neutral fragrance in 2022.

My cousin loves this aroma, and I got to try it from her. Its 12 hours of longevity and notable sillage first grabbed my attention.

Now, let me explain what I felt after using it.

As soon as I sprayed it, the citrusy smell of bergamot and lemon gave me an energizing kick, and with the smoky hunch of incense, I was ready to buy it.

Well, it’s affordable, so that was another influence, along with the fact that it smells close to Almaz.

Then, the mesmerizing core got my hopes up. And why wouldn’t it? In this stage, laotian oud’s woody balsamic tone works as a balancing agent between the mighty Turkish and Bulgarian Rose.

It’s a bit intense, but I loved every second till it lasted.

When the timbered-floral middle faded away, I was left with a woodier essence that came from the blending of rosewood and sandalwood.

It doesn’t end there, vanilla and tonka bean in this composition enhanced the deep and rich smell of patchouli, which I sensed even after 12 hours.

When to Wear

During the winter and fall, Unholy Oud flourishes to its fullest. Whether night or day, you can wear this without any second thought.

Why Should You Buy

  • Leaves a notable trail.
  • Good performance.
  • Lasts up to 12 hours.
  • Gives a cherry ambiance.
  • Prominent essence of the rose in the middle.
  • Suitable for the colder weather.

He turned citrussy fruits like bergamot with sweet and delightful ones such as pineapple and grapefruit with ultimate expertise, which you will love from the first sniff.

As the middle approached, he took a break from the fruits and incorporated stimulating flowers together, which filled my heart with joy and positivity when I tried it a couple of months ago.

Slowly, the core dissolved, and I felt hinoki wood’s soft, medicinal presence. Along with its woody hunch, the musk, and vanilla mingled with oak, which led to an effortless combination for the warmer months.

Additionally, with its mild sillage, this feminine fragrance lasted around 12 hours on my skin and clothes. So, I was pretty impressed.
