What do reviewers say about Kalemat Black and Rimal?
Kalemat Black is bold and unapologetic in its composition. It's not soft, and it doesn't pretend to be. Vanilla, incense, and deep oud create a fragrance that demands attention.Kalemat Black
The leather is what pulls people in. It's not a polite accessory note, it's the thing itself, bold and present from the first spray. If you've been searching for a saffron-oud leather that doesn't.Rimal
