Immerse yourself in Middle Eastern tradition with KAYALI...
Immerse yourself in Middle Eastern tradition with KAYALI. Founded by beauty mogul Mona Kattan, the fragrance house has been built on the art of scent layering, and each perfume is designed to be worn alone or layered together. Pair bestselling Vanilla 28 creamy vanilla orchid and jasmine with Eden Juicy Apple 01's vibrant berry and red apple, blend to contrast sweetness with freshness. Or perhaps amplify the addictive notes with Yum Boujee Marshmallow 81. Whatever your pick, KAYALI empowers you to wear scent your way.
About KAYALI
KAYALI, translating to ‘my imagination’ in Arabic, was founded in 2018 by Mona Kattan. Recognised as one of the most influential women in the beauty industry, Mona followed her passion for fragrance. The brand pays homage to Middle Eastern perfumery, from the traditional oud vessels and diamond lids to the principles of scent layering woven into every creation. Each blend is expertly crafted by some of the industry's best noses, with the number on each bottle signalling the number of formulations it took to hit just the right note.
Who KAYALI Is For
If you’re looking to deepen your connection with fragrance, KAYALI is for you. From opulent packaging to expertly crafted blends, KAYALI considers scent a ritual rather than a finishing touch, with each spritz creating an intentional and personal moment of self-expression. From fresh florals to gourmand woods, the brand captures core fragrance families, offering modern, expressive blends to wear, layer, and adore.
Why Space NK Loves KAYALI
Not only are the bottles made for ‘shelfie’ moments, but KAYALI fragrances are also thoughtfully crafted at every stage to create a product that feels truly special. We love the brand's unique layering concept, but each scent is dreamy on its own, with long-lasting silage. It is hard to pick our favourite, as it changes with our mood, but we are loving everything from the Freedom Collection.
