Kayali Citrus 08 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Gabriela Chelariu. Citrus 08 opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Kayali's Citrus 08 carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a true Kayali enigma: a divisive citrus-rose blend that some hail as a fresh, musky triumph and others dismiss as glorified dish soap. Love it or hate it, Citrus 08 certainly sparks a conversation.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Zingy grapefruit and tart rhubarb explode into a vibrant opening, soon mellowing to reveal a fresh, clean rose heart. As it settles, a soft, warm musk intertwined with earthy oakmoss and a whisper of tonka bean grounds the composition. It's a journey from sparkling zest to a sophisticated, understated skin scent.
