Yazhini ManimudiKylie Cosmetics wowed everyone in 2024 with Cosmic, a sweet and warm floral fragrance that was such a pleasant surprise to the industry. Its success even spawned a matching scented lotion and Cosmic 2.0, an ambery floral released earlier this year. Kylie ventured into fragrances for Kylie Cosmetics only last year and we already have three new additions in the form of body and hair mists.
Kylie Cosmetics Sweet Éclair
Notes
Top: Bergamot, Chantilly Cream
Middle: Chocolate Cream, Freesia Petals
Base: Vanilla, Woody Amber
Fragrance Family: Woody Gourmand
With creamy vanilla, chocolate, and chantilly cream accords, you’ll smell straight out of a bakery as you walk by others wearing Sweet Éclair. Bergamot brings freshness and chantilly cream brings a soft, airy touch to this fragrant indulgence. A light powdery floral touch of freesia and a woody ambery base adds dimension to the otherwise very gourmand perfume.
It’s perfect for the coming months, but as it is a mist, you might be able to get away with wearing it in the summer.
Kylie Cosmetics Vanilla Dew
Notes
Top: Milk, Freshwater Lily
Middle: Tea Flower, Almond
Base: Tonka Bean, Blue Vanilla
Fragrance Family: Floral Gourmand
While this is also a gourmand, it differs from the others in the collection through an added watery floral character. The fragrance has a contrast between fresh florals of the tea flower and freshwater lily accords. The vanilla here differs from the ones in the other fragrances in this line, replicating the fragrance of premium quality blue vanilla from Reunion Island. Together with Tonka Bean, it creates a warm and inviting yet rich base in which the lactonic accord and almond shine.
This fragrance tackles the usually heavy vanilla fragrances and makes it light, dewy, and airy with soft florals.
Kylie Cosmetics Caramel Cloud
Notes
Top: Almond, Pistachio Butter
Middle: Caramel, Brown Sugar
Base: Musk, Vanilla Extract
Fragrance Family: Ambery Gourmand
If Sweet Éclair isn’t gourmand enough for you, Caramel Cloud simply has to be with its nutty goodness, caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla. If Sweet Éclair is a bakery, Caramel Cloud is the whole baked goods factory. It’s all gourmand for those who love gourmand perfumes unapologetically.
The whole collection is gourmand, keeping up with the current trend of gourmand heavy fragrances. They are all formulated with glycerin to add hydrating properties to be more friendly to your skin. While they are labeled as hair mists in addition to being body mists, I’d like to add that the ingredients include denatured alcohol. Nothing harmful, but if your hair tends to dry out, do a patch test on a bit of your hair before spraying throughout.
The fragrances are available on the Kylie Cosmetics website in 236 ml bottles, all priced at AED 110, shipping costs not included. They are also sold as a fragrance set for AED 290. They are also available at Selfridges, but at AED 123 before taxes and shipping.
