These new fragrances reinterpret oud, a precious perfumery ingredient, with a gourmand twist that adds richness and intrigue.

UAE – Kayali, the modern Middle Eastern fragrance house founded by Mona Kattan, has expanded its popular Oudgasm Collection with two bold new scents: Oudgasm Chocolate Oud | 11 Eau de Parfum Intense and Oudgasm Milky Musk Oud | 30 Eau de Parfum Intense.
Oudgasm Chocolate Oud offers a rich, decadent cocoa-infused base that wraps the senses in a warm, addictive embrace.
Its notes include mate, caramel apple, spiced rum at the top; orris, jasmine, incense, cinnamon in the heart; and dry notes of dark cocoa, cashmere wood, sandalwood, and chocolate oud.
Oudgasm Milky Musk Oud delivers a softer, more sensual take on oud, blending creamy and bright skin-like warmth.
Its composition features pink pepper, strawberry cream, coffee, and saffron at the top; incense, sandalwood, and milky musk in the heart; and tonka bean, white musk, and silver oud in the dry down.
Mona Kattan describes these additions as expressions that showcase the full spectrum of oud’s character, stating, “Oudgasm is all about sensuality, individuality, and storytelling through scent. With Chocolate Oud and Milky Musk Oud, I wanted to show the full spectrum of oud—its ability to be both wild and warm, sweet and seductive, comforting and captivating.”
“These two new juices are major steps in building the Oudgasm world with bold, unforgettable expressions that push boundaries and invite play.”
Oudgasm Milky Musk Oud | 30 was developed by dsm-firmenich perfumer Ilias Ermenidis, while Hamid Merati-Kashani also contributed to the scent creation.
Alongside the new scents, Kayali plans to launch a limited-edition miniature set and an Oudgasm Discovery Layering set for broader fragrance layering experiences.
According to the brand, these products will be available online and at select Sephora locations.
Kayali offers a curated line of luxury fragrances designed for layering, featuring standout scents like Vanilla | 28, Eden Juicy Apple | 01, and Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33. The brand also includes hair mists and travel-size sprays, blending Middle Eastern inspiration with French perfumery.
This launch comes at a time when the fragrance market in the UAE is thriving, driven by cultural affinity for perfumes, rising disposable income, and a booming tourism sector.
According to a report published by P&S Intelligence, the UAE fragrance market was valued at approximately USD 688 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 1.09 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.9%.
