KAYALI Introduces "Freedom" -- A Transformative New Fragrance Collection Celebrating Empowerment, Authenticity, and Self-Expression

A bold new chapter for KAYALI, the Freedom Collection redefines the modern musk through four distinct scents that embody empowerment, authenticity, and self-discovery.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- KAYALI, the fragrance brand founded by beauty entrepreneur , announces the launch of its most anticipated fragrance collection yet — FREEDOM — a bold new scent that celebrates empowerment, self-acceptance, and the beauty of defining freedom on your own terms.

Following the brand's global success with gourmand-inspired scents, FREEDOM marks a new chapter for KAYALI — one rooted in liberation through fragrance. Anchored by the timeless note of musk, the collection reimagines this iconic ingredient through four distinct creations — Freedom Musk Bouquet | 27, Freedom Musk Santal | 34, Freedom Musk Matcha | 45, and Freedom Musk Latte | 41 — each designed to evoke a unique facet of individuality and authenticity.

"The story behind this collection is deeply personal to me," says Mona Kattan, Founder & CEO of KAYALI. "It was inspired by my own journey toward independence and learning to fully embrace who I am. I started asking myself — what does freedom smell like? For me, it had to be musk. In the 1960s, women wore musk as a form of rebellion, stepping away from traditional florals to express strength and confidence. That energy inspired this collection. Our tagline, Find Your Light, is about discovering your inner power and letting it guide you."
