The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018, Musk 12 by Kayali Fragrances is a Floral Woody Musk creation designed to evoke the rich Middle Eastern heritage that inspires founder Mona Kattan. Perfumer Harry Frémont crafted this scent around a musky base with floral and powdery notes, blending freesia and lotus in the top and heart with jasmine, vanilla, and sandalwood in the base. This composition is both intimate and warm, creating a distinctive olfactory experience that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply Musk 12 sparingly — the powdery musk base lasts throughout the day, while the top notes of freesia and lotus add a fresh touch that fades into a warm vanilla-sandalwood blend. It's best enjoyed close to skin rather than in open spaces.
