Wedding Silk Santal 36 by KAYALI bottle

KAYALI is a luxury fragrance brand by Mona Kattan. The brand name “KAYALI” means “my imagination” in Arabic. Launched in 2018, KAYALI has since gained a lot of popularity due to its unique plays on fragrances using a blend of Middle Eastern and Western influences. KAYALI crafts fun, inspiring, chic and romantic scents. And then there is the creativity: KAYALI’s philosophy revolves around fragrance layering, encouraging customers to mix different scents to create a unique, personalized aroma. Some of their most popular scents are Vanilla | 28, Elixir | 11, and Déjà Vu White Flower | 57.

KAYALI is known for its passionate, loyal following. In fact, when Wedding Silk Santal launched, it had a waitlist exceeding 50,000 people. That’s nuts, even in the perfume world.

Let’s talk about the bottle for a moment, shall we?

It’s elegant and sopphisticated and nearly appears like a gem. It will charm you into a flirtatious stratosphere. Wedding Silk Santal features a frosted glass finish, lending a soft, matte look that enhances its luxurious feel. The front of the bottle displays the brand name “KAYALI” in a minimalist, metallic font, with the fragrance name “The Wedding Silk Santal 36” elegantly printed below. There’s some sparkles as well that pop off from the bottle. It’s fun. Its an exciting unboxing for a romantic partner or even a friend.

Wedding Silk Santal is it’s own love story in the amazing bottle. Wedding Silk Santal was Mona’s personal love story.

What Does KAYALI’s Wedding Silk Santal Smell Like?

Wedding Silk Santal opens with a bursty pop, but then transitions to something more cozy and warm. And this is due to the notes (obviously).

In the top notes, accounting for that “pop,” we have Sparkling Champagne, White Freesia, and Black Currant.

Finding the middle notes, we have Nectarine, Pink Praline, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and May Rose.

When we arrive at the the end, or base notes, we land on Vanilla, Sugared Musk, Sandalwood, Amberwood, and Oakmoss.

The opening is largely driven by the champagne that offers a bit of fruity play. As it settles, the fragrance reveals a sweet, floral bouquet in the heart, blending jasmine, orange blossom, and May rose with a hint of nectarine and pink praline. he base of the fragrance is where it becomes more grounded and luxurious.

Perfume reviewer, Duchess of Beauty, who’s real name is Lydia, describes it perfectly.

Final Notes

n conclusion, KAYALI The Wedding Silk Santal 36 is a beautifully crafted fragrance that perfectly captures the essence of romance and celebration. With its sparkling top notes, sweet floral heart, and warm, comforting base, it’s an ideal scent for weddings or any special occasion.
