Freshness of a Different Kind
The DNA of Kajal Homme II was unfamiliar to me. I assume the blend is influenced by Middle Eastern perfumery. No one will smell like you when you wear this. I doubt if anyone in my friend circle has ever heard of Kajal Perfumes.
There is an airy freshness to Homme II that immediately demands attention. Invigorating, happy, encouraging, optimistic are adjectives that come to mind. After spraying it the first time I knew I had entered a different fragrance community.
Homme II opens fresh, citrusy and green. The peach and cinnamon join the party quickly and takes the scent to the next level. It is immediately lovable! The projection is great but not unfriendly. It confidently introduces itself but it is kind. The longevity on my skin is 8-10 hours. Sillage is moderate after the first two hours but I got whiffs of it for 7-8 hours. Performance is not a problem.
Many consider sweetness the dominant accord but it does not present itself as a typical sweet fragrance to me. The green, citrus, and amber notes are so finely blended that the sweetness is mild. To me it is so smooth that it transcends hardened classifications. To my naive nose, it is as fresh as it is sweet. The balance of the peach and woods in the dry down moderates the sweetness and adds maturity. I am not good with the “fragrance lingo”. Some of this may be incorrect but my enjoyment and appreciation of Homme II is the real thing. This is why I bought a bottle after my third full wearing.
Spring, summer and fall are the seasons made for Homme II. Every occasion except nights out is an opportunity to wear it. However, overspraying may be an option.
Homme II is not my favorite fragrance. It’s not in my Top 10 but for daily wear it’s Top 10 and rising. It’s an easy reach that speaks eloquently. Try before you buy but, if fragrance collecting is your thing, I doubt you will regret buying a decant.
