When you think of marshmallows, the word “boujee” may not immediately come to mind. But leave it to Mona Kattan and Kayali to transform a childhood treat into a fragrance that exudes elegance, sensuality, and playful charm. Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81 is the latest addition to the Yum collection, following the wildly popular Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33. With its deliciously addictive blend of fruity, floral, and gourmand notes, this scent promises to be the star of your fragrance wardrobe this holiday season.

The Inspiration

This isn’t just a fragrance; it’s a love letter to indulgence. Inspired by Mona Kattan’s personal nickname “Marshmallow,” bestowed upon her by her husband for her naturally sweet aura, Yum Boujee Marshmallow is a heartfelt, joyous celebration of all things comforting and delightful. In her own words, Mona says “I wanted to capture the lightness and fun of marshmallows but with a luxurious twist. This scent feels like wrapping yourself in a fluffy, pink cashmere blanket.”

The Fragrance Profile: A Whimsical Layer Cake of Notes

Top Notes:

The journey begins with a burst of fresh pink apple and sparkling Italian lemon, balanced by the soft powderiness of freesia and the juicy sweetness of nectarine blossom. This opening feels like biting into a perfectly ripe, sugar-dusted fruit—refreshing and inviting.

Heart Notes:

At the core lies the star ingredient: pink marshmallow, its powdery, sugary softness complemented by luscious strawberry and creamy coconut flakes. A whisper of orange blossom water adds a floral sophistication, ensuring the sweetness remains airy and elegant.

Base Notes:

The dry-down is where Yum Boujee Marshmallow truly shines. Whipped vanilla, raspberry sugar, and a velvety floral musk envelop the senses, while ambroxan—Kayali’s signature base note—provides a sensual, long-lasting warmth. The result is a gourmand masterpiece that feels simultaneously youthful and refined.

Packaging: The Art of Sweetness

Kayali’s attention to detail extends to the bottle, which is a work of art. The signature crystalline design is rendered in matte pink with a white, gem-like cap, perfectly capturing the dreamy essence of pink marshmallows. It’s the kind of bottle you’ll want to display proudly on your vanity, and it reflects the brand’s commitment to sustainable packaging improvements.
