The story behind the bottle.
Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco | 20 Eau de Parfum, launched by Kayali Fragrances in 2024 and created by Gabriela Chelariu, is an aromatic fruity fragrance for women that captures the essence of a tropical getaway. The composition opens with bright lemon and rosemary, creating a fresh and invigorating contrast to the rich sweetness of ylang-ylang and coconut milk. This interplay between freshness and warmth makes it feel like stepping into a sun-drenched beachside cabana, where salty air mixes with the scent of tropical fruits.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to let its fresh top notes mingle with the warm base. It's best worn during warmer months or as an afternoon pick-me-up, as the coconut and ylang-ylang notes evoke a sense of summer all day long.
