About This Perfume

A holiday in a spray, Kayali Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco | 20 is creamy coconut cake with a bright lemon and rosemary finish, soft and sunny rather than loud.

Rosemary and lemon open it with a fresh, slightly herbal sparkle, which keeps the coconut from feeling heavy. Ylang-ylang and banana form the heart, creamy, floral and a little tropical. Coconut makes up the base, so the drydown is smooth, milky and warm.

This Eau de Parfum is a daytime scent for spring and summer, and it is easy for the office or a date. Longevity is moderate and it sits at about arm's length, on the close side, so it feels intimate. At this price, it is worth knowing you may want to reapply later in the day.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: coconut lovers who want a light, sunny gourmand for warm weather.
  • Sample first if: you want long wear for the money. Performance is moderate.
  • Skip if: banana or coconut notes are not for you.

Around $110.

The Brand

Kayali

Kayali has 42 perfumes indexed on Scendira, and it's the most gourmand-forward brand in our catalogue: sweet is the single most common accord at 23 of 42 perfumes, well ahead of vanilla (14), woody (13), and warm-spiced (10). On the note level, vanilla (29) and musk (26) lead, so most Kayali perfumes read as dessert-like vanilla-musk blends rather than traditional Arabic woody-oud compositions. Prices run $29 to $197, median $140, the highest median in our brand set and closer to prestige perfumery than mall-brand Arabic fragrance. The range is mostly unisex (30 of 42), with feminine (11) and only one masculine-tagged release. By community mentions, Yum Pistachio Gelato is by far the most-discussed Kayali perfume with 361 mentions, followed by Eden Sparkling Lychee and Eden Juicy Apple. Kayali is known for Western-style vanilla gourmands, not Gulf oud.
