Apple Brandy

Kayali Apple Brandy dupe, inspired by the original

Kayali Apple Brandy is a warm, boozy fruity scent built around a juicy apple and a rum soaked warmth, cosy and a little indulgent. Our interpretation carries that character in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Kayali was founded by Mona Kattan as a line of rich, layerable fragrances with real presence, inspired by the Middle Eastern love of bold, long lasting scent. Apple Brandy taps into the gourmand trend with a grown up twist, taking a crisp apple and giving it a warm, spirited edge.

Pineapple and bergamot open it juicy and bright, an apple brandy accord with rum and a touch of moss gives a warm, boozy heart, and a base of vanilla, cedar and labdanum keeps it sweet, smooth and long lasting. It smells like spiced apple and warm liquor, cosy and inviting without being childish.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation is. What we have built follows the same boozy fruity signature of the original, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil so it projects clearly early on and lingers longer than a typical spray. A little goes a long way.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a warm, boozy, fruity gourmand. It is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening, and wears as a unisex fragrance.
