“I have always believed that perfume is synonymous with pleasure. I named the collection Oudgasm because I wanted something that was just as bold as the juices themselves! Out of all the fragrance notes in the world, oud has always given
me this incredibly euphoric feeling that is both transformative and transportive – as if it exists in its own universe. My love for oud turned into passion once I moved to the Middle East over 20 years ago where I truly embraced the ritual of
layering with it as an act of self expression and self love. The intensity, the richness and the beauty of this ingredient can tell so many stories – so when I started working on Oudgasm, I knew it couldn’t be bottled in just one fragrance! I wanted
to explore oud and all of its brilliant facets in hopes that, you too, will fall in love.”
– Mona Kattan
About the KAYALI Oudgasm Collection
Crafted with passion and inspired by Mona Kattan’s intense love for oud, KAYALI’s Oudgasm Collection was 5 years in the making and celebrates the many facets of one of perfume’s most precious and opulent ingredients. These four unisex scents and perfumed oud woods were designed to magnify the magic of oud and explore the infinite universe of layering possibilities. Intense, sensual and luxurious, each fragrance offers a modern twist on the art and rituals of Middle Eastern fragrance layering – ready to be shared with the world.
Introducing KAYALI Oudgasm Perfumed Oud Wood
To complete the Oudgasm fragrance layering ritual, KAYALI is venturing into the world of perfumed oud wood that complements each of the four EDP Intense fragrances: Vanilla Oud | 36, Café Oud | 19, Rose Oud | 16 and Tobacco Oud | 04. Also known as bakhoor, burning these wood chips will help create a beautiful, intense and long-lasting scentscape with its rich, perfumed smoke. Oudgasm Perfumed Oud Wood can be used alone to create an exquisite and pleasant ambience in the home or to scent clothing and hair for a complete olfactory experience. You can also “layer” the Perfumed Oud Woods with their matching Oudgasm EDP Intense to enhance and intensify your fragrance mood.
The Perfumer
For the Oudgasm Collection, Mona approached one of the region’s leading perfumers, Hamid Merati-Kashani to collaborate with on the fragrances. As an oud afficionado, Merati-Kashani already had an extensive roster of scents exploring the many facets of this opulent note.
“Opening a new territory for KAYALI was very exciting and challenging at the same time. The idea was to push the boundaries and create something new, something never seen before using the region’s traditions and fragrance rituals together with the modern vision of KAYALI,” says Merati-Kashani, principal perfumer at dsm-firmenich.
‘I wanted to offer a variety of options – from fragrance lovers who may be experiencing oud for the first time to those who are super well versed on the ingredient. Each juice comes with its own oud intensity – with Vanilla Oud | 36 being the lightest and Tobacco Oud | 04 being the most intense,” adds Kattan.
