Spiritually, number two symbolizes balance, a reminder that we are all connected. When we attune our inner self with our outer experiences, a profound equilibrium emerges. Kajal II, with its peach and bright aromatics playing against deep oakmoss, sandalwood and musk, is a tribute to this serene duality.
Perfumer: Rosendeo Mateu
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
It suits the reset after physical activity: a shower, a crisp shirt and a return to the company of others. Citrus and leafy herbs keep the mood alert, while peach and clove soften the transition into a more composed, sociable presence.
How to wear
Spring and autumn are natural starting points for its citrus-herbal brightness and mossy, woody base. Begin with one or two sprays on the neck or upper chest; in warmer weather, apply lightly to keep the peach, spice and sweeter base from outweighing the green opening.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy aromatic fougère-style fragrances but prefer some softness around the herbs. Lavender, sage and green notes provide a familiar groomed character, while peach, clove and moss appeal to tastes that favor fruit balanced by savory spice and woods rather than overt sweetness.

The nose
Rosendo Mateu and Christian Carbonnel are credited with creating Kajal Homme II, now named Kajal II. Mateu’s long career at Puig and subsequent independent work reflect a particular fluency with woods, spices and rounded amber textures. Carbonnel is a Spanish perfumer with an extensive presence in niche perfumery, working across aromatic, fruity and richly textured compositions. Kajal’s current presentation highlights Mateu, while other fragrance records credit both creators.
Kajal’s story
Kajal connects perfumery with inner beauty, spirituality and the geometric artistry of the Arab world. Its philosophy emphasizes grace, humility and harmony, expressed visually through an eight-pointed star cap that makes balance a recognizable part of the house’s identity.
Kajal II’s concept
Created as a greener follow-up to Kajal Homme, this fragrance originally drew on the Alhambra’s geometric decoration, gardens and fountains, with copper coloring echoing its reddish walls. The current Kajal II narrative places greater emphasis on the number two: duality and the balance between inner life and outward experience.
Extra info
Originally released as Kajal Homme II, it is now presented as Kajal II. Its collection placement has also shifted from the Classic Collection to the numerically themed Arqam Collection. Peach is an officially listed heart note, giving the herbal-spicy composition a deliberate fruity accent.
