Kayali is the fragrance brand under the Huda Beauty mega-brand founded by beauty entrepreneur and sister to Huda Kattan, Mona Kattan. Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco 21 from their five-star lineup (seriously everything smells so freakin\u2019 good), was brought to life through Mona\u2019s obsession with sensual vanilla and creamy coconut. She wanted the scent to transport your senses to a balmy, sunny island\u2014and she did just that. Fun fact: the “21” imprinted on the bottle speaks to the number of iterations this scent went through before it was given Mona\u2019s final stamp of approval\u2014 so you know it\u2019s gonna be good<\/em> with all of that extra TLC put into it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside the reflective pink bottle\u2014that\u2019s just as display-worthy as it smells\u2014lives Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco 21, a fragrance that instantly sends your senses to a tropical island with Pina Coladas in hand and a sun-drenched ocean view. It\u2019s pure happiness in the lens of sunshine and care-free vibes.The fragrance delivers on a dream vacation as it smells sweet, solar, fruity, and floral all at the same time. I also love how well it wears on the skin. Plus,\u00a0 I found it gets sweeter and sexier as it sits, which is something I personally enjoy as some perfumes with these notes can turn sharper, and lean more fresh and floral as they wear.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n KEY NOTES<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n This destination-inspired scent comes to life with notes of ripe pear blossom, creamy, milky coconut, and sweet yet slightly boozy vanilla. There\u2019s also an infusion of heady, white florals including jasmine sambac, gardenia petals, and tuberose, that I am head over heels for all year \u2018round, but I just can’t get enough of them in this perfume. At the base of Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco 21 are sandalwood, patchouli, and musk for a subtly earthy accord that gives it that comforting sensation we love about warm-weather perfumes. There is a slight sunscreen scent to this one but it doesn\u2019t last as long as the vanilla and coconut notes do.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n OUR FINAL THOUGHTS<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Basically, if you\u2019re a fan of coconut and vanilla perfumes, you need this. It\u2019s the perfect combination of all of my favorite notes mixed into one aroma. If you want to do some personalizing, the brand is very into fragrance layering (as am I). To bring out more warmth and sweetness, we recommend pairing it with a pure vanilla like Kayali Vanilla 28 Eau de Parfum or pair with the brand\u2019s Kayali Sweet Diamond 25 Eau de Parfum, if you want to add a touch of spice to the aroma as this one boasts notes of pink pepper and saffron. Whether you wear it alone or want to mix it, this scent screams summer in a bottle\u2014and I simply cannot get enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
