And what if fragrance didn’t stop at the very last spritz? That’s the bet Mona Kattan is making. With Yum Lip & Body, the KAYALI founder broadens her olfactory universe and ventures for the first time into body and lip care. The brand, known for its indulgent and generous scents, is this time translating two of its signature fragrances into a new beauty routine. A way to prolong the pleasure by enveloping the skin and lips in the same notes that appear in the perfume eaux de parfum.
KAYALI Transforms Its Gourmand Perfumes Into Skincare
For this debut collection, Mona Kattan chose to lean into two fragrances from the Yum family: Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81 and Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33.
In total, four novelties make up the line. On one side, the Silk Soufflé, two body creams. On the other, the Cashmere Kiss, two lip balms. Each product picks up one of the two olfactory universes of the collection.
The aim is clear: no longer to reserve perfume for the very last step of getting ready. With this new range, KAYALI envisions an experience that begins as soon as you apply the product. The fragrance thus becomes a true guiding thread of the routine, from body to lips.

Two Gourmand Signatures at the Heart of the Collection
With Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81, KAYALI continues its exploration of a sweet, comforting imagination. The fragrance now appears in textures designed to transform the act of applying a product into a genuine sensory moment.
The same principle for Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33, whose gourmand universe is carried into the two product categories.
The creams and balms let you rediscover the scents in a different way, with a more intimate and everyday approach. It’s no longer simply about spraying a fragrance on the skin, but about integrating it directly into a skincare ritual.
Mona Kattan Unveils Her New Offering in the Maldives
To present this new venture to the press and beauty enthusiasts, Mona Kattan chose a setting worthy of the KAYALI universe.
It’s in the Maldives, at the prestigious Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, that the fragrance guru unveiled Yum Lip & Body. A paradisiacal backdrop that perfectly matches the spirit of this new collection: enveloping textures, gourmand fragrances, and the sensation of freshly scented skin.
This tropical reveal marks a new milestone for KAYALI. Until now, the brand has been strongly identified with the world of perfume; now it’s building a more complete beauty ritual around its fragrances.

Fragrance as the New Beauty Ritual
With Yum Lip & Body, Mona Kattan isn’t merely aiming to translate two best-selling perfumes into new formats. The founder of KAYALI offers a different way of thinking about fragrance: as an experience that can begin long before the perfume is even sprayed.
A body cream, a lip balm, then a few spritzes of perfume: the routine builds gradually and allows you to layer the different facets of a single olfactory signature.
A strategy that lets KAYALI extend the Yum universe into the most everyday acts of the bathroom.
After establishing its gourmand scents in beauty collections, Mona Kattan is opening a new chapter. And this time, KAYALI isn’t simply about smelling good: the brand aims to transform fragrance into a true skincare ritual.
