Kajal Perfumes Paris Kajal IV is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Kévin Mathys. Kajal IV opens with Davana, Cardamom, Blackcurrant, and Rum, settles into a heart of Palm Leaf, Leather, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Date, Woody Notes, Musk, and Vanilla. Kajal Perfumes Paris's Kajal IV carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Kajal IV is a beast mode leather scent that's divisive. Some love its smooth, sweet, and smoky depth, praising its quality and nuclear projection, while others find the sweetness cloying and the projection overwhelming. Approach with caution, but sample if you dare to make a statement.

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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its nuclear projection and potent leather notes, Kajal IV is too much for an office environment. It shines on dates and formal occasions, particularly in cooler weather, where its bold character can be appreciated without overwhelming others.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Kajal IV opens with a boozy splash of rum and a hint of fruity redcurrant, spiced with cardamom, before settling into its leathery core. Creamy jasmine and a green palm leaf accord soften the leather, which then transitions into a rich, sweet base of dates, vanilla, musk, and deep woody notes. It's a complex journey from a semi-fresh, boozy start to a warm, opulent drydown.
