The Kayali headquarters in Dubai captures Mona Kattan’s deep passion and love for fragrance—a love so rooted that she chose to anchor her brand’s home in the heart of Dubai. When Ecru Elements received the brief, it came in just one word: love. This single word reflects the very foundation of Kayali—from its product philosophy to client relationships and internal team culture.

Every decision was guided by this emotional compass. As content creation is central to Kayali’s identity, each room was designed to be camera-ready, allowing every corner to serve as a stage for storytelling. The perfume lab was thoughtfully integrated, recognizing its role as the heartbeat of the brand. Texture also played a vital role—walls were treated to mimic the softness of human skin, reinforcing the sensual, skin-to-scent connection that defines Kayali. Every centimeter of the space was crafted with meaning, envisioned as a blank canvas brushed with soft ink—ready to receive the brand’s daily rhythm, rituals, and creative expression.
