Kayali makes the sweet, dessert-like gourmands that took over TikTok. The originals run £95 to £195. Here are the £35 versions, at 35% Extrait.
Every scent below is an Aromara dupe of a Kayali original, £35 for 50ml, from £4.99 for a 5ml, with 7+ hours guaranteed and 60 days to change your mind.
Why Kayali gets duped
Kayali built a cult on rich, edible, layerable scents, and on Mona Kattan's viral videos. They are gorgeous, but they are also expensive for what is essentially a sweet gourmand. The hard part to copy is keeping that sugar rich and warm rather than thin and synthetic, which is exactly where concentration matters.
