Launched in 2018 by fragrance aficionado Mona Kattan with her sister, Huda Kattan, Kayali translates the rich perfume traditions of the Middle East for a modern audience. The name, meaning 'my imagination' in Arabic, is central to the brand’s philosophy of creating personalized scents through layering. Designed in the UAE and crafted in France, Kayali works with esteemed perfume houses like Firmenich to develop its distinctive, often gourmand, fragrances. The collection encourages wearers to combine scents like the cult-favorite Vanilla | 28, a sophisticated blend of Madagascan vanilla and Brazilian tonka, with other fragrances to create a mood or signature aura.
