For fragrance enthusiasts, the allure of a fresh floral scent often evokes memories of their inaugural perfume. Personally, I cherish the recollection of my first scent—an exhilarating fruity floral spray in vibrant pink packaging from Bath & Body Works, which quickly became an essential part of my early school days. This nostalgia shapes my fondness for the floral fragrance family, making it a consistent choice throughout my life.
As I’ve matured, my fragrance preferences have evolved toward scents that feel more refined and balanced, incorporating a hint of warmth. When Mona Kattan, the visionary founder of the popular fragrance line Kayali, mentioned her development of a romantic and sensual new fragrance, my intrigue was piqued.
I have often wondered when floral fragrances would transition from being perceived as youthful and light to embody something more sophisticated. A well-crafted floral scent can indeed be sensual and enchanting. With this ethos, Kattan introduced Kayali’s latest offering: Fleur Majesty Rose Royale Eau de Parfum.

The Fleur Majesty Rose Royale Perfume
On March 10, Kayali unveiled its 27th fragrance, Fleur Majesty Rose Royale. This warm floral blend harmonizes juicy green pear, regal rose, and rich musk, crafting a scent profile that exudes romance and sensuality, transcending seasonal boundaries.
“My goal with Kayali has always been to help wearers feel like royalty,” Kattan explains, crediting master perfumer Nathalie Lorson for her expertise in fashioning this fragrance. “With Fleur Majesty Rose Royale, my intention was to create a warm floral scent that balances strength and softness—one that imbues elegance, confidence, and unforgettable charm.”
The central note of rose was chosen for its timeless romantic essence, known for its ability to evoke profound feelings.
To enrich the fragrance, the team incorporated pink peony to introduce a lively brightness and paired it with violet wood to provide an earthy foundation. The infusion of purple musk enhances the overall sensuality, culminating in a warm and enveloping essence.
My Review
As a fan of aesthetically pleasing packaging, the Fleur Majesty Rose Royale bottle immediately reminded me of my first perfume, capturing a similar hue that evokes nostalgic sentiments. However, the similarities end there.
Upon my initial application, I was pleasantly surprised by the mature scent profile. Musk, one of my favorite notes, adds a subtle charm in this composition—it beautifully harmonizes with the prominent rose, imparting a warm richness that elevates the overall fragrance experience. It provides a sophisticated depth without being overwhelming. The interplay of musk and rose creates a timeless elegance that continues to impress with each wear.
Typically, I lean towards sensual scents like vanilla or amber for date nights, but I opted for Kayali Fleur Majesty Rose Royale during my most recent outing—and it was an ideal choice. My boyfriend was captivated, continually complimenting its enchanting aroma.
The Verdict
One of the qualities I admire about Kayali is how effortlessly their fragrances can be layered for a more customized scent experience. While Fleur Majesty Rose Royale is delightful on its own, it also serves as a compelling base for layering if you desire a more pronounced fragrance impact.
If you appreciate floral scents yet seek a scent with added complexity, this fragrance is likely to resonate with you. Kayali Fleur Majesty Rose Royale achieves a harmonious blend of delicate florals and warmth, steering clear of excessive sweetness. The rose infuses a romantic flair, while the combination of subtle musk and peony distinguishes it uniquely.
This fragrance is perfect—not just for romantic evenings but also for any occasion you wish to feel distinctive and memorable. In my opinion, it’s one of those scents you’ll find yourself reaching for repeatedly.
