Kajal Perfumes Paris Alujain is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Christian Carbonnel. Alujain opens with Rose, and settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Guaiac Wood. Kajal Perfumes Paris's Alujain carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a masterpiece of rose and oud, dirty yet addictive. For others, it's a syrupy, even unpleasant, synthetic mess. Sample before you commit to this bold, divisive scent.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and impressive longevity, Alujain is too potent for most office environments. It shines on dates and formal evenings, where its bold, sensual character can make a statement without overwhelming. Its complexity and intensity aren't well-suited for casual or sporty wear.

Ingredients and allergens

ALCOHOL DENAT, PARFUM WATER CITRONELLOL GERANIOL CITRAL BENZYL ALCOHOL

From a shop in the United Kingdom. Boxes sold in other countries can differ.

Lists change between batches and markets, so check the box of the bottle you have. "Parfum" covers substances the label does not name, and we highlight only the allergens we could match. If you have a diagnosed allergy, look for the name your clinic gave you on your own packaging.

About

Alujain opens with an assertive, jammy rose, rich and full-bodied, quickly deepening into a complex woody heart. Guaiac wood offers a smoky, almost campfire-like edge, mingling with creamy sandalwood and earthy vetiver. The dry-down introduces a prominent, somewhat animalic oud, sweetened by vanilla and grounded by a powdery musk, creating a dense, layered experience that lingers beautifully.
