Invite Only Amber | 23
Invite Only Amber | 23 by Kayali is an unisex eau de parfum in the designer price tier. It opens with black cherry and honey, moves into tobacco, chocolate, hazelnut and rose and dries down to oud, cypriol, musk, benzoin, sandalwood and patchouli. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Black Cherry Darker, boozier cherry. Reads more grown-up.
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
Heart
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
- Chocolate Sweet, dusty and rich. Can go milk-bar or dark-and-bitter.
- Hazelnut Roasted, buttery and nutty. Warm and dessert-like.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
