The fragrance Kajal Masa, released in 2023, became part of the prestigious The Classic Collection — a line embodying the brand's DNA.
This is a unisex composition in eau de parfum concentration, belonging to the spicy, woody, and oriental families.
Masa translates to "evening" in Swahili, and the scent is truly created for special moments—mysterious, sensual, unforgettable.
The top of Masa is a bright citrus-spicy firework: juicy bergamot and grapefruit intertwine with sparkling ginger and the sweetness of mirabelle plum.
In the heart, the fragrance takes on a mineral note thanks to an aquatic accord, balanced by spicy cardamom and earthy patchouli.
The base is a warm cocktail of amber, Atlas cedar, guaiac wood, vanilla, and violet, leaving a noticeable sillage on the skin.
Thanks to its high longevity and noticeable sillage, Masa is ideal for evening outings and the cool season.
It is recommended to apply 1–2 sprays to the skin or walk into a fragrance cloud on clothing—this way the composition unfolds most harmoniously.
The fragrance is unisex, but its warm oriental base will appeal to those who love rich, enveloping scents.
If you like Masa, check out Philipp Plein No Limit — it is similar in concept of sweetness and spice contrast, as well as Viktor & Rolf Antidote with its woody-spicy accent, and The Spirit of Dubai Bahar, which explores the theme of oriental luxury.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
Masa opens with a bright citrus-spicy chord: bergamot and grapefruit juice mingled with sparks of ginger and the sweetness of mirabelle plum.
In the heart, the fragrance turns mineral-herbaceous — an aquatic accord brings coolness, while cardamom and petitgrain add spicy greenery. Patchouli in the heart provides earthy depth.
The base is a true celebration of warm notes: amber and vanilla envelop with sweetness, Atlas cedar and guaiac wood introduce noble woodiness, and violet adds powdery softness.
This contrast of freshness and warmth makes Masa multifaceted and memorable.
