Almaz

Almaz feels like a fruity-musky cloud built around sweet tutti frutti candy vibes, blackcurrant, bergamot, mandarin, and soft musky sweetness. It opens bright, tart, and slightly powdery, almost in the same family as Erba Pura-style fruity musks, but softer and less overwhelming in the drydown. As it settles, it becomes warmer, smoother, and more cozy — like sweet yellow gummy candies wrapped in a soft musky aura. The drydown is definitely the best part for me. It’s well-made and quite unique, but also has that “fruit bowl” effect where many fruity accords blend together into one abstract sweet-fruity impression rather than distinct notes. Feminine-leaning, wearable year-round, with moderate projection and decent longevity close to the skin.

To me, this smells a lot like mango. Think of Erba Gold but slightly more feminine and sweet and a more realistic “fruity” or “mango” scent.

I didnt realize this at first but this actually smells like a mango perfume

oversweet synthetic fruity scents, the performance itself above average(7-8hours easily detected in my skin) suitable for people that age under 20, but for older people it will get you instant headache

I get pineapple, with cranberry/raspberry, very fruity, sweet, yet tart, but not in a sour way. Just a little acidity to cut through the sweetness. What I find most special about this fragrance is the lactonic note (not declared). It smells like a cheesecake with lots of fruit on top. It’s pretty unique. Although I can detect the same pineapple-rose base as Lamar, they are quite different. This one is much fruitier and sweeter. It’s a strong like for me. I love the house of Kajal. Very good quality and great performers.

I've had my bottle for about two years now, and I've always liked it. It's beautifully unique. It IS strong, and it's really sweet and creamy; so if raspberries and cream with a shot of black currant and a drop of pink rose doesn't sound good to you, just don't even. That being said, upon first spray, it honestly gives me amoxicillin vibes. I was never mad at amoxicillin though😂 it's raspberry flavored! The dry down on skin is long lasting and a compliment MAGNET. The man in line at the grocery store, "I don't know who it is but somebody smells GOOD." The cashier pointed right at me and said, "It's her... I wasn't going to say anything, but since he did... what IS THAT?"👀😂

Smells like wet cardboard and piss.

I love this scent. It is very different from most other fruity scents as it adds an element of earth and musk to the fruit that makes it smell like a deodorant after it's been worn a bit. I know that sounds strange but an underarm deodorant mixed with the scent of clean sweat (not funky sweat due to impurities coming out the pores), has a certain element of sexiness that's recognizable but hard to duplicate in a fragrance. Almaz does it the best. But God of Fire (dupe Sceptre) and Oud Maracuja (dupe Azzure Aoud) are able to duplicate that smell as well.

Selling my bottle at a very reasonable price in California, message me if interested.

Don’t get me wrong it smells nice but I almost threw up cus it’s far too bright and sweet for me wasn’t expecting it at all before I sprayed.

Creamy mango sorbet!

Selling my bottle in the UK, message if interested

Синтетичен сладък аромат, подобен на ароматизатор за въздух. Касисът е прекалено силен и като цяло, за мен ароматът не оправдава цената. Като изключим това, поне е дълготраен 🙂

While I can smell the fruitiness, it smells extremely cheap to me. The price is not justified at all. The fragrance smells sickly to me, and the black currant is too strong.

It’s got a mouthwatering raspberry-vanilla combo that's reminiscent of raspberry-mint ice cream. It's a fun, sweet, and playful scent that opens with a sharp, punchy sugary note but smoothens out in the dry down. So glad this doesn’t have any weird musky notes that ruin a lot of perfumes in this genre. While it's a lovely fragrance, it may lean a tad bit juvenile. Performance is wild. You really don’t need more than 2 sprays. Update- The sweetness here becomes a bit too overwhelming after an hour or so. It’s too much! Not something I’d want to wear on any occasion to be honest. This had great potential but the overdose of sweetness ruins it.

I wonder how no one compares it with VS Love Spell 🤔 For me it smells the same and I dare say Love Spell lasts longer 😅 P.S. I am swapping/exchanging my bottle, if anyone is interested.

Fruité écoeurant, très féminin , odeur assez synthétique similaire à des parfums bon marché...

For some reason I get tropical fruit; like a passion fruit gelato. This is so fun! Lovely fruit bomb without the screechy musk that seems so frequently entwined in this scent profile.

I love how this smells in the air but the black currant does not agree with my skin. It comes of very artificial, like a cheap fabric softener. Selling my 90% full bottle. CONUS only Update 5/28/25: SOLD

I hate all other perfumes of this house and I tend to be VERY cautious with all those eastern-wannabe brands that have been flooding the fragrance-market these days. That said, this one is a really REALLY nice and playfull fruit bomb that smells really natural (nothing like sospiro, erba pura, God of Fire etc that stink like toxic, spilled over, garage chemicals). To my nose, its mostly a mango-peach, fresh fruit juice that dries out creamy-vanillic, like a vanilla-mango sorbet. It has a clean feeling to it too, like shampoo-bodywash. Its very similiar to the mango body yogurt from bodyshop. I dont know how this is not hyped at all. Its the best fruity-tropical perfume I have smelled. Makes you thirsty for a mango daiquiri cocktail at the beach. My man loves it as well.

So juicy and delicious, I am a sucker for black currant. Reminds me of shampoo in the best way

On my skin: awful. I don’t like this type of performance in a fragrance. Headache inducing nauseating sweetness and also impossible to scrub off after several tries. My partner was hit with a nuclear blast of this fragrance when I got into the car and we had to drive with the windows down. The blackcurrant in here smells like ammonia. Perfect to wear if you want to offend everyone.

Almaz features cassis as a key note so as a cassis fanatic I had to try it and buy it when my sample ran out. Lovely cassis and raspberry on a sugary sandalwood base. Must have for cassis lovers. Smells like my favorite cassis freshies sprayed over woody monotones. Hideous bottle. Close your eyes and spray!

All I smell is iris and marshmellow. It reminds me of Oriana. I wish I could get the fruits like everyone. My nose is oversensitive to iris, so that must be the cause

An absolutely beautiful fruit bomb!! I’m in love Almaz, love Dahub and Lamar. Got my name down for Alican because I can. Almaz is sweet creamy and fruity. Kajal you did it again. Must have fruity light fragrance in every collection. Got 2 compliments first time I’ve worn it.

This is not as fruity and sweet as people make it out to be, it smells like it could be a cleaning spray not a great fruity perfume. Tiziana Terenzi kirke is much better

This is pretty amazing! It is am amazing combination of fruit salad, fresh musky laundry detergent (clean musk, not overwhelming at all, trust me, I hate musk in general, so if you're like me don't be afraid to try), quality niche perfume, powdery deodorant (not much of it, but I get some whiffs of powderiness among the juicy fruits) and tropic ice-cream. Very refreshing, sweet, delicious and well suited for hot weather. Performance is decent and as soon as my bottle macerates a little, I'm sure it will be even stronger. This is like all those fruity scents from Tiziana Terenzi, I.e. Kirke, which I would love to love, minus all the thongs which prevented me from liking them! Also, I prefer Almaz over any other fruity scents by Kajal, because other do have that overwhelming musk in them. Also, I usually don't review bottle design, but here I have to make an exception. It is horrendous. Looks like some cheap low quality Arab/Middle Eastern perfume, I was discouraged from buying or even trying the brand because of that.

Fruity and Juicy fragrance that I can't determine when I used it several times, until my gf tried it and smelled it on me, she said it's like rich tropical Mango Orange Juice and now it hits me and I appreciate the scent more now that recognize the scent.

First thoughts on first spray, oh my this is sweet & immediately reminded me of something...it's taken about 30 mins & it was only when I started reading the notes that it clicked- it smells like Devotion by D&G & the reason it was firing in my brain is that my OH is wearing that today! As far as Unisex, to me it leans heavily feminine & I could only see someone masculine wearing this if they would wear Devotion- they are that similar. I own a few sweet fragrances but I'm sitting writing this enveloped in sweet vanilla & it's maybe just a bit too much for my tastes, maybe if it was colder. Nice but not for me.

I’m not sure if I want to drink it or bathe in it but this is delightful and delicious. Youthful and sexy and fun :)
