The cozy kitchen where a freshly baked plum tart cools next to a bowl of lemon zest, blending the sharpness of fruit with the warmth of spices and sugar.

The story behind the bottle.
Aaron Terence Hughes launched Kayos in 2024, a scent that marries the freshness of citrus with the warmth of vanilla and amber. The opening notes of lemon and pink grapefruit are bright and zesty, creating an immediate contrast with the rich tonka bean and plum in the heart. This interplay between the sharp, uplifting top notes and the enveloping sweetness of the base creates a fragrance that feels both invigorating and comforting.
Kayos has a strong initial burst from the citrus top notes that fades within an hour. For best effect, apply it in light layers so the vanilla and amber base can gradually take over. It’s ideal for evenings when you want something warm and inviting.
