Mona Kattan’s Latest: KAYALI’s Oudgasm Duo Makes Layering Your Scent Identity

KAYALI unveils two seductive additions to its Oudgasm collection: Oudgasm Chocolate Oud | 11 and Oudgasm Milky Musk Oud | 30, a duo that reimagines oud as both deliciously gourmand and delicately “skintimate.” Created by Founder & CEO Mona Kattan, the pair arrives with a third launch to complete the ritual: Oudgasm Vanilla Oud Hair Mist | 36.

Meet the new oud moods

Oudgasm Chocolate Oud | 11

Mona Kattan: “Oudgasm Chocolate Oud | 11 is decadent, addictive, and deeply sensual. I’ve always been drawn to the contrast between rich oud and something sweet, and this fragrance captures that craving. I wanted to create a scent that feels bold and addictive — an indulgence that pushes the boundaries of traditional oud with a delicious, dessert-like twist.”

Fragrance Profile
Family: Earthy & Woody
Type: Warm Woods
Key Notes: Spiced Rum, Caramel Apple, Chocolate Oud

The Notes
Top: Maté, Caramel Apple, Spiced Rum
Middle: Orris, Jasmine, Incense
Base: Dark Cocoa, Cashmere Wood, Sandalwood, Chocolate Oud, KAYALI Signature Accord

Perfumer’s Inspiration (Hamid Merati-Kashani, dsm-firmenich):
“Opening a new territory for KAYALI was exciting and challenging—pushing boundaries with the region’s traditions and the brand’s modern vision. Chocolate Oud | 11 is the summum of addiction—chocolate meets precious oud. I played with texture, from maté and cocoa powder to the addictive sweetness of caramel and apple.”

Oudgasm Milky Musk Oud | 30

Mona Kattan: “Oudgasm Milky Musk Oud | 30 is a delicate exploration of oud's quieter side: soft, creamy, and skintimate. I wanted to create a scent that feels like second skin, something comforting and deeply personal. The milkiness wraps around the oud in a clean, cocooning way that's both subtle and powerful. It's for those who love musk, but want it elevated with the depth and beauty of oud.”

Fragrance Profile
Family: Earthy & Woody
Type: Warm Woods
Key Notes: Pink Pepper, Milky Musk, Silver Oud

The Notes
Top: Pink Pepper, Strawberry Cream, Coffee, Saffron
Middle: Incense, Sandalwood, Milky Musk
Base: Tonka Bean, Silver Oud, KAYALI Signature Accord

Perfumer’s Inspiration (Ilias Ermenidis, dsm-firmenich):
“We wanted a musky oud with fruity undertones, cocooning yet extremely sensual. It starts with a lactone overdose with a strawberry facet and pink pepper, then a comforting, unexpected blend of frankincense and sandalwood. Multiple musks create a rich, unique base, with a touch of oud and the KAYALI signature accord.”

Finish the ritual with Oudgasm Vanilla Oud Hair Mist | 36 casts a luminous veil through hair, tying layers together while subtly boosting sillage.

And now, here’s the shift: fragrance layering is the most underrated beauty hack. Blend two (or more) perfumes and you’ve got your own personalized blend of delicious fragrances, that go with your vibe of the day. KAYALI has championed this ritual since Oudgasm’s debut; and these new gourmand-leaning ouds make it feel like you’re creating an irresistible aura of the day.

How to layer like a pro (KAYALI-approved)

1. The Decadent Duo
Chocolate Oud | 11 on pulse points, then mist Vanilla Oud Hair Mist | 36 through the lengths. A bold, evening-forward trail.

2. Skin-to-Skin
Wear Milky Musk Oud | 30 close to the body; top with Vanilla Oud Hair Mist | 36 (or Vanilla | 28) for creamy warmth that reads like polished skin.

3. The Contrast Play
Start with Chocolate Oud | 11 for depth; mist Milky Musk Oud | 30 lightly over it to soften with milkiness. Powerful yet refined.

4. The Dubai Chocolate
Pistachio Gelato | 33 first, Chocolate Oud | 11 second - playful, truffle-rich gourmand that turns heads.

The Everyday Finish
Any Oudgasm + Vanilla Oud Hair Mist | 36 to enhance diffusion and wear time without overpowering.
