To mark the unforgettable debut of KAYALI’s fragrance Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81, the brand joined forces with Company X Marketing and Chasen Creative to transport guests to ‘Mona’s Yum Diner,’ a vibrant, 1950s-inspired pink dessert haven they created in the heart of Los Angeles. Designed as an immersive multisensory celebration, the activation blended vintage Americana with contemporary glam, bringing the fragrance’s sweet and boujee personality to life through sight, sound, scent, and taste.
At the core of the experience was an explosion of marshmallow-themed decor: retro roller-skating performers glided through the space, guests explored interactive photo ops drenched in pink decadence, and a scent-layering bar offered personalized fragrance experiences. The event became a playground for creativity and indulgence, drawing over 250 top beauty influencers, celebrities, and key opinion leaders to the one-of-a-kind experience.
The buzz extended far beyond the diner’s walls. With 404+ total social posts, the campaign generated over 26 million impressions and reached 2 million unique users, achieving a standout earned media value of $1.7 million. Influencer engagement was a key success factor, with top creators like JaNa Craig, Olivia VanDerMillen, and Yasmin Basi sharing dreamy content across TikTok and Instagram. High-value contributions from @roselucyy, @beautybyyasi, and @summer.makeup.artist highlighted the whimsical setting and fragrance narrative, sparking widespread engagement.
Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81 launched not just as a scent, but as an immersive celebration of fantasy, and fun. The success of Mona’s Yum Diner underscores the power of experiential storytelling and influencer amplification in today’s fragrance and beauty landscape. By combining nostalgia, innovation, and community, KAYALI created more than a moment; it created a cultural memory.
