Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco No.21 100ml

The composition

It opens on Honeysuckle, Pear Blossom, Lemon and Coconut; beneath that sits Jasmine, Gardenia, Tuberose and Ambrette; and the base is Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla Bourbon and Musk. Overall it reads rich but never cloying.

Presence and staying power

It carries about an arm’s length, which means present in a room without taking it over. Wears from the cold months into spring, and it comes in a 100ml bottle.

When to reach for it

We file it under Beach & Holiday, Office & Everyday and Date Night. The picture we have in mind is a hot afternoon with salt still on your skin — that is the moment this one is for. If gourmand scents already work for you, this will feel familiar.
