Kajal Perfumes Paris Warde is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Warde opens with Absinth, Pine, Blackcurrant, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Resins and Canadian Fir Balsam. Kajal Perfumes Paris's Warde carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one is a real Marmite scent; you'll either love its intensely green, boozy-floral blend or you'll be running for the hills. Definitely not a blind buy unless you're into an edgy, almost Gothic vibe.

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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Warde's potent and long-lasting nature, coupled with its intense sillage, makes it far too dominant for an office setting. Its complex, dark floral and resinous profile is best reserved for evening dates or formal events, where its luxurious and unique character can truly shine in cooler weather.

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.

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

Warde opens with an uncompromising, almost bruising blast of absinthe and pine, sharpened by artemisia and a dark blackcurrant. As it settles, a rich, jammy rose emerges, supported by a bouquet of violet, jasmine, and orange blossom, offering a deep, intoxicating sweetness. The dry-down grounds everything with an earthy fir resin and general balsamic resins, retaining a brooding, green depth that lingers beautifully, not letting the floral sweetness dominate.
