Kayali launches full-size 'Vacay in a Bottle' perfumes
Fans of the discovery set will be excited to get their hands on the full-size 50ml bottles
Sweet, dessert-inspired perfumes have dominated the fragrance scene over the past year, with brands like Tom Ford and Juliette Has a Gun making waves with cherry-drenched blends and syrupy gourmand twists. Among them, Kayali has carved out a reputation for rich, indulgent scents that smell good enough to eat - from its cult-favourite Yum Pistachio Gelato (£107) to the flirtatious Eden Juicy Apple (£98).
Fans of the brand will be thrilled to know that Kayali has just dropped full-size bottles of its ' Vacay in a Bottle ' collection, just in time for summer. Originally released as a discovery set, the four 50ml bottles are now available for £79 each at major retailers including Cult Beauty.
Each fragrance is inspired by an iconic getaway destination: Capri, Marrakesh, Maui, and the Maldives - bringing a different holiday fantasy to any scent wardrobe. Each bottle matches its destination - from ocean blue for Maui to golden sunset tones for Marrakesh - making them just as pretty on the shelf as they are on skin.
Ahead of the launch, I tried Maui in a Bottle, a scent that promises 'sweet banana' vibes. Banana and coconut notes can often be artificial or overwhelming, but this one is light, breezy, and effortlessly tropical.

Product Description
As it settles, it melts into an alluring, creamy dry down that feels warm, inviting, and surprisingly refined. In true Kayali fashion, the bottle is as Instagram-worthy as ever - a turquoise gem that evokes crystal-clear oceans and breezy beach days.
The three other scents might tempt fragrance fans if this doesn't sound up their street. Marrakesh in a Bottle Orange Blossom is rich and warm, with pink pepper and Turkish rose to evoke Morocco's spice-filled souks and ornate markets.
Meanwhile, Capri in a Bottle Lemon Sugar has a fresh and sparkling citrus scent with notes of lemon, sugar, freesia, and raspberry. Finally, Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco leans into rosemary, wild lemon and starfruit for that fresh-from-the-beach feel.
These launches follow a broader trend from brands like Sol de Janerio and Maison Margiela, which have also embraced sun-inspired scents with gourmand or escapist twists. Sol de Janerio, for instance, has recently relaunched its cult-favourite Cheirosa 39, which sparked a petition with over 3,000 signatures that begged for its return.
Maison Margiela has a whole host of summer fragrances in its Replica collection, all inspired by sunny days and holiday memories. That includes its ever-popular Beach Walks perfume, priced from £60, which is described as a 'bottled memory of sun-kissed salty skin.'
But for those looking to bring that holiday feeling home - or add a new luxe scent to their summer rotation - the Vacay in a Bottle collection comes highly recommended by myself. Each scent is priced at £79 for a 50ml bottle.

Boots shoppers rave about 'perfect for summer' designer perfume now 50% off
"A light summer perfume with subtle rose, perfect for the day or evening" Boots customers are singing praises for a designer fragrance that's 'perfect for summer' and currently discounted online. Those who have already snapped up the 'light' perfume insist it's 'long-lasting' and suitable for all ages. A 50ml bottle of Emporio Armani Diamonds Rose Eau de Toilette usually sells for £47, but shoppers can nab it with a whopping 50% saving for a limited time, bringing the total down to £23.50. First launched in 2013, Emporio Armani Diamonds Rose is a floral fruity scent designed for warm weather wear. The refreshing aroma opens with sparkling notes of bergamot, raspberry and blackcurrant. The perfume's floral heart comprises rose, lily of the valley and freesia, while the base is formed of patchouli and ambrette seeds. The result? A fragrance hailed as 'beautiful but not overpowering'. If you're on the hunt for a more musky scent with a hint of rose, Glossier's You Eau de Parfum might be a better fit. Priced at £70 for a 50ml bottle at Space NK, the fragrance has been formulated as a skin scent enhancer, meaning it adapts to each wearer. Alternatively, for a true floral bouquet aroma, Kayali's Fleur Majesty Rose Royale is available at Cult Beauty, with a 50ml bottle costing £79. This fragrance features a mix of sweet-smelling florals intertwined with warm, citrusy notes. Emporio Armani Diamonds Rose is sparkling with positive feedback, boasting an impressive 4.6 out of five-star rating from over 80 reviews. A thrilled customer shared: "A light summer perfume with subtle rose, perfect for the day or evening. Special offer made it a good buy." Another fan expressed their adoration, saying: "I love this perfume, it's light, floral and perfect for summer. Its my favourite scent so I was very happy it was on offer. I'm in my sixties but its great for all ages I would say." Someone else chimed in with high praise: "One of my all time favourites," adding, "I love this perfume, the rose edition adds that extra sweetness. I had the perfume as a gift and would definitely repurchase. The scent lasts a long time on my skin and the packaging is really special." However, not everyone was completely satisfied; one buyer gave it a three-star review, noting: "A bit too heavy for me. I like light floral and bought it as it said rose eau de toilette but I couldn't smell any rose." Yet another shopper was delighted with their Boots find, remarking: "I love this fragrance, I only have three to four favourite perfumes and this is one of them. Many people have even stopped me asking what the name of my perfume is, so many recently lately that I am sure this I've boosted the sale of Rose Diamonds. I'm happy to see this price as now I can afford to feel special even at work."
