Almaz - Kajal - Bloom Perfumery

Almaz, the Arabic word for diamonds, are renowned not only for their beauty, but also for their timelessness as they withstand millions of years of immense pressure in their formation. This EdP references the indestructible nature of diamonds with a powerful blackcurrant-led bouquet. Juiciness is enhanced with raspberry, while powdery heliotrope and musk add padding to the cushiony feel. The ambered base, redolent with vanilla and brown sugar, offsets blackcurrant’s tartness.
 
The jewelled bottle incorporates a poem composed by Elen Jeres Ayoub, portrayed in Eastern Kufic calligraphy. The words have been meticulously placed so that the vertical lines create eight zones on the bottle, representing the lunar phases in each lunar calendar month to represent the passage of time.

The seasons and their times
And pressures and their effects,
Bear Diamonds as their fruit.
-Elen Jeres Ayoub

All about this fragrance

Vibe check

Almaz suits an evening with lively conversation and a noticeable, plush scent presence. Tart blackcurrant gives the opening a bright bite; as the fragrance settles, powdery florals and sugared amber lend softness without losing the fruit’s vivid character.

How to wear

Mild to cool weather gives the sweet ambered base room without overwhelming the tart fruit. Start with one or two sprays on skin: this powerful composition calls for restraint at close quarters. In warmer conditions, apply lightly and let the raspberry, powdery florals and vanilla unfold before adding more.

Who it’s for

For those who enjoy assertive fruity fragrances with tartness as well as sweetness. Almaz will appeal to tastes that favor blackcurrant and raspberry, cushioned by powdery florals and a rich vanilla-amber base, rather than sheer citrus or dry woods.

Collaborators

Omar Ayoub designed the bottle and packaging around diamond cuts, reflected light and the process of diamond formation. Elen Jeres Ayoub wrote the poem incorporated into the bottle’s Kufic calligraphy, whose eight vertical zones evoke lunar phases. Jewelry designer Leonardo Ranucci collaborated on the cap, drawing on Rub el Hizb geometry.

Kajal’s story

Kajal brings together perfumery, inner beauty and the geometric artistry of the Arab world. Its philosophy associates khajal with grace, humility and honor, while its eight-pointed star motif expresses balance and cultural heritage. Almaz connects these ideas through poetry, calligraphy and jewelry-inspired design.

Almaz’s concept

Named after the Arabic word for diamonds, Almaz takes enduring beauty and transformation under pressure as its central imagery. Its powerful, blackcurrant-led composition accompanies a bottle conceived around diamond facets, while a poem and lunar-inspired calligraphy extend the theme of time shaping something precious.

Extra info

The bottle’s Kufic lettering is arranged into eight vertical zones representing lunar phases and the passage of time. Its cap draws on Rub el Hizb geometry, linking the diamond concept to Kajal’s characteristic geometric design language. Almaz currently belongs to the house’s Gem Collection.
