KAYALI has never been just about perfume. Since launching in 2018, founder Mona Kattan has built the fragrance house around the idea that scent is deeply personal, encouraging wearers to experiment, combine fragrances and create a signature blend that feels uniquely their own. The brand’s name, which translates to “my imagination” in Arabic, reflects this philosophy of self-expression, while its devoted global following has embraced KAYALI’s signature approach to layering. Now, the fragrance house is taking that ritual beyond the spritz, marking its first-ever expansion into body care with the launch of the Yum Lip & Body Collection.
The collection reimagines two of KAYALI’s most beloved gourmand fragrances, Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81 and Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33, across four new products: the Silk Soufflé Body Cream and Cashmere Kiss Lip Balm in each scent. The launch represents a natural evolution for the brand, transforming fragrance from a finishing touch into a full sensorial ritual that begins with the skin.
“As someone who has always been obsessed with fragrance rituals, I wanted to create products that allow our community to experience scent in an entirely new way,” says Mona Kattan, Founder and CEO of KAYALI. “This collection isn’t just about adding body cream and lip balm to our portfolio. It’s about expanding the art of layering beyond the bottle and making every step of the ritual more intentional, sensorial and delicious.”
At the heart of the collection are the Silk Soufflé Body Creams, which pair indulgent gourmand scents with skincare benefits. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and the newly developed KAYALI Dream Elixir, a nourishing blend of date seed oil, pomegranate fruit extract, sesame oil, moringa oil, almond oil and olive oil, the creams deliver up to 24 hours of hydration while leaving skin soft and silky. Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81 envelops the body in notes of strawberry, pink marshmallow, coconut, freesia, whipped vanilla and pink musk, while Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 offers an addictive blend of pistachio, whipped cream, roasted hazelnut, sweet rum, marshmallow and cotton candy.
The Cashmere Kiss Lip Balms continue the experience with moisturising formulas designed to provide up to eight hours of hydration. Available in a soft tinted version inspired by Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81 and a clear balm scented with Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33, both glide on effortlessly, leaving lips with a subtle glow and deliciously wearable scent.
Together, the collection reinforces KAYALI’s central belief that layering is more than a fragrance technique. By extending two cult-favourite scents into body and lip care, the brand offers a new foundation for fragrance dressing, inviting its devotees to layer with love and create a scent ritual that begins long before the perfume bottle is reached.
