Alujain, from Kajal was released in 2017. The perfumer behind this creation is Christian Carbonnel. It has the top notes of Rose, middle notes of Guaiac Wood, Sandalwood, and Vetiver, and base notes of Agarwood (Oud), Musk, and Vanilla.
Alujain is a fairly standard take on a typical rose-oud fragrance. The rose dominates the scent quite strongly, it’s there from the get go and seems to linger for the duration of the scent’s life. This rose comes across quite synthetic and jammy, it smells nice but not very natural unfortunately. The next thing you notice is the oud. This does come across rather synthetic and doesn’t seem like the highest quality oud accord either, but has a subtle fecal character about it perhaps to seem more like the real thing somehow. All of this is backed up by generic sweet, creamy woodiness and musk. Alujain is a pleasant fragrance but I’m not overly impressed by it. This isn’t a scent that you will remember or be amazed by, it smells good but that’s all it does. Little to no depth to it unfortunately.
