Kayali The Wedding Collection Silk Santal | 36 and Velvet Santal | 35 Fragrance Review

Kayali's newest launch Velvet Santal | 35 was created by Hassan Elamin to celebrate their special day and named after the velvet suit he wore. Similarly to Utopia, Invite Only, Vanilla Royale and Yum Pistachio, Velvet Santal | 35 is an Eau De Parfum Intense fragrance containing a super strong concentration of oils. It's crafted with a unique blend of 25% oils that promise a luxuriously rich, long-lasting scent for the ultimate sensorial experience. Fun fact - the number 35 stands for how many modifications it took to make this juice perfect, in this case also matching Hassan's age at the time of their wedding!

Just like the name suggests, Velvet Santal | 35 is creamy, woody and velvety. It's a great new addition to the Kayali collection being their first ever fragrance for men, which can also be seen as unisex. I think Hassan did a great job at creating such a classy scent that immediately allows you to create beautiful memories with. This perfume will get you hooked on its magnetic blend of gentle Jasmine, refreshing Tea and White Musk, accompanied by the velvety warmth of Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Benzoin. 

Kayali's newest launch Silk Santal | 35 was created by Mona Kattan Elamin to celebrate their special day and named after the silk gown she wore. Similarly to Utopia, Invite Only, Vanilla Royale and Yum Pistachio, Silk Santal | 35 is an Eau De Parfum Intense fragrance containing a super strong concentration of oils. It's crafted with a unique blend of 25% oils that promise a luxuriously rich, long-lasting scent for the ultimate sensorial experience. Fun fact - the number 36 stands for how many modifications it took to make this juice perfect, in this case also matching Mona's age at the time of their wedding!

Not only is Silk Santal the most gorgeous and perfect wedding scent for her, it's also an ode to Kayali as a brand. After owning all Kayali scents, as well as following and watching the company grow from their launch day, I can honestly say this fragrance represents the brand very well. It has a refreshing opening with the Sparkling Champagne, Black Currant and silky White Freesia, and soon after you start to smell the Lush Nectarine and Pink Praline that dominate the heart of this romantic fragrance. As it dries down, you get the sweetest and creamy base of Sugared Musk, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Amberwood and Oakmoss. 

This fragrance also reminds me of what you would get if you layered Deja Vu White Flower | 57, Vanilla | 28, Musk | 12 and Mod Vanilla by Ariana Grande together - in summary, all of my favourite scents in one bottle together!

The Wedding collection by Kayali has taken me by surprise because I truly didn't expect it! It's such a gorgeous collection and knowing both Mona and Hassan created it to celebrate their wedding day makes it so much more special. Although these fragrances were made to be the perfect wedding scents, they can also be worn for any other special occasion or become your new favourite every-day fragrances. While Velvet Santal | 35 is something new to the Kayali range and definitely opens the door for more male fragrances in the future, it's Silk Santal | 36 that has become my favourite out of the two. It's everything I would expect from a Kayali scent - sparkling opening, creamy heart and musky vanilla base. But nothing beats the scent you get when layering these two together - after all, Kayali is all about layering their scents and this duo, although being limited-edition, will steal hearts of many fragrance lovers out there.

What are your thoughts on this new Kayali wedding duo? Which out of the two do you lean towards more? Let me know down in the comments and stay tuned for my next review!
