She's been spritzing on this new scent before she goes to sleep.
One of my first stops after flying to Dubai in December was this very closet. But as I later learned, the bustling United Arab Emirates city, in general, is what Kattan calls a "perfume playground." Men wear women's perfumes; women wear cologne; layering is commonplace. And her fragrance closet is minuscule compared to the 50,000-square-foot Perfumery & Co in the Dubai Mall.
Since starting Kayali, Kattan has received a handful of training sessions from Firmenich, the manufacturer she works with, to sharpen her nose and better understand the intricacies of perfume ingredients for moments like this. "A lot of ingredients didn't smell exactly how I thought they would," she admits.
Again, Kattan asks if she can spray me — this time, finally, with White Flower. After spending about three hours with her, nearly every centimeter of my body is coated in scents from around the world. I pull up the sleeve of my dress, and she spritzes it on my forearm.I, then, hold my arm up to my nose to take in the soft, subtle floral scent on my skin. "Any perfume is like putting a bookmark into your life of where you are at that moment," Kattan points out as I do so.
