Symbolically, three is a powerful number which represents the wholeness of a completed cycle — the past, the present, the future. We are not defined by our hardships, but by how we confront them: the discipline of optimism, the courage of resolve. Kajal III, with its burst of ginger and citrus anchored by cleansing lavender and enfolding amber, has been created to honor all forms of determination and fortitude.
Perfumer: Kevin Mathis
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a man who has already moved through the day and still looks composed: fresh, alert, and slightly charged. It suits close quarters and active settings where clean citrus and aromatic herbs read as disciplined rather than casual.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where the citrus and herbs stay vivid and the ambroxan-amber base can project cleanly. Two to four sprays are usually enough; on skin it feels brisk and polished, while in air it leaves a fresh, airy trail with a musky, modern drydown.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like crisp citrus, aromatic herbs and a clean amber-musk base. It will appeal to those who want a fresh, energetic scent with a sporty, modern profile and a smooth, masculine finish.

The nose
Kévin Mathys. Mathys works in a modern, transparent style that often balances freshness with a smooth musky-amber base, giving his compositions a crisp profile without losing depth. His work for Kajal III fits that approach: citrus brightness, aromatic herbs and a clean, diffusive finish built for immediate impact.
Collaborators
Moe Khalaf and the Kajal team shaped the fragrance’s concept around the symbolism of three, framing it as a tribute to determination, fortitude and the cycle of past, present and future. Kévin Mathys translated that brief into the finished composition.
Kajal’s story
Kajal builds its identity around cultural symbolism, beauty and protection, drawing on the meaning of kajal in Indian tradition and khajal as humility and dignity. The house blends Eastern inspiration with a contemporary niche sensibility, aiming for fragrances that feel emotionally resonant as well as wearable.
Kajal III’s concept
Kajal III was created as a symbolic fragrance built around the number three, which the brand links to wholeness and the completed cycle of past, present and future. The composition was conceived as an ode to determination and fortitude, using a bright citrus-aromatic structure to express resilience rather than heaviness.
Extra info
The fragrance’s title refers to the number three, which Kajal ties to the past, present and future. Its note structure centers on grapefruit, lemon soda, ginger, neroli, rosemary, lavender, amber, ambroxan, patchouli and musk. It is part of Kajal’s newer lineup and is often listed as a fresh citrus scent for men, though some retailers present it as unisex.
