Despite hearing endless hype about Kayali's viral perfumes, I'll admit — this is my first venture into the brand. I've always been intrigued by the sweet, dessert-like scents that seem to have taken over TikTok, so when I heard about the launch of the I knew it was time to dive in.

From the first spritz, it's pure dessert bliss, with buttery vanilla and almond notes creating a comforting, warm aroma. However, what surprised me most was how balanced it felt — sweet but not overpowering. I was slightly wary at first, as I tend to prefer rich, deep fragrances rather than purely sugary ones, but this has a depth and creaminess that makes it wearable and sophisticated rather than sickly.

One of my favourite things about this mist is how easy it is to layer. I love mixing my perfumes, and I've found the pairs beautifully with a complex blend of tonka bean and sandalwood. The combination creates a warm, woody vanilla mix that feels both cosy and elevated — ideal for day-to-night wear.

As for longevity, I've noticed that while the scent is lighter than a traditional perfume, it still lingers on my clothes and scarf throughout the day (and beyond). It's become my go-to finishing touch before leaving the house — one last spritz before I step out the door, ensuring I smell delicious for hours.

Food-inspired perfumes are not something new and it’s rare that I find one intriguing enough to purchase. But to all my friends who know me, I am a huge pistachio fan and it's my favourite gelato flavour. This is what Kayali’s new smells like.

Inspired by the perfume of the same name, the body spray is perfect for every moment whether you are starting your day, applying post workout or need to smell good for a special occasion. The scent from this aluminium can last for hours. Other than hints of pistachio, it delivers notes of bergamot, sweet rum, hazelnut, cotton cream, whipped cream and marshmallow.

The nozzle of the spray can be flimsy but other than that, it’s a five out of five product for me. It'll be good to see if the brand brings out a mini size in the future for travel purposes.

For something similar, Sol de Janeiro's classic is now reduced to £20.40 on Amazon. The Brazilian-inspired mist has pistachio, vanilla and salted caramel notes, delivering a full burst of sweet flavours for a tropical scent.

Cherry perfumes really took off last year and the sexy scent is still trending. Smokey and seductive, was what led me to ditch the much-pricier - it's now my go-to.

It was music to my ears when I heard the brand has released . This new mist delivers the warm, spicy notes of its namesake, as well as hints of raspberry, praline and jasmine.

The body spray provides a soft layer of my favourite sultry scent, perfect for pairing with another fragrance or wearing on its own. Not only does it come in a generous 125ml bottle, but it means you can save £34 compared to buying the Eau de Parfum, which costs £73 for 50ml.
