Mona Kattan is the founder of Kayali Fragrances, and she’s on a quest to build the largest perfume collection in the world. Listen in as she shares the beautiful cultural history of perfume in the Middle East, explains why oud is so enticing (and expensive!), walks us through her private collection, and tells us how she built her brand and found the passion and “founder juice” to make it a success.
