In Profound Appreciation: Honoured by the Recognition of CaFleureBon
Our Deepest Gratitude to CaFleureBon ,
As the new year begins, we pause to reflect on the generosity, support, and artistry of CaFleureBon, a publication that shines as a guiding light in the fragrance community. Renowned for its creative brilliance and evocative storytelling, CaFleureBon inspires and connects us all in our shared passion for perfumery.
This year, we have been profoundly honoured by the recognition from Michelyn Camen, the visionary Editor-in-Chief, and her exceptional team. Their thoughtfulness and appreciation mean more to us than words can truly convey.
Moe Khalaf: Best Creative Director of 2024
We are incredibly proud that our co-founder, Moe Khalaf, has been awarded Best Creative Director of 2024. It is a recognition that reflects not only his remarkable artistic vision but also his dedication to fostering creativity within our team. Moe’s leadership inspires us all - he encourages ideas, values collaboration, and creates opportunities for us to learn and grow together.
We are deeply grateful to Michelyn for recognising Moe’s contributions to the art of perfumery. This accolade is a celebration of everything he brings to our shared journey.
Äican: Best Fragrance Name of 2024
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Michelyn once again for naming Äican the Best Fragrance Name of 2024 and including it among her Top Ten Perfumes of the Year. Äican holds a special place in our hearts—it is an Arabic term that symbolises gold purified of all impurities, reflecting the power of transformation and optimism. When we realised it sounded like “I can” in English, it felt destined, inspiring us to include positive affirmation cards with every bottle.
Reading Michelyn’s beautiful words about Äican, describing how it makes her feel radiant and confident, was truly humbling. Her poetic writing captures the essence of what we hoped to convey, and her recognition means the world to us.
Steven Gavrielatos’ Praise for Äican
We are also deeply grateful to Steven Gavrielatos, whose vivid and thoughtful review of Äican left us in awe. His description of it as balanced, sensual, and unforgettable encapsulated everything we hoped this fragrance would be. To see Äican named among Steven’s Best Perfumes of 2024 is a true honour.
Lamar Noir: A Celebration of Elegance and Mystery
Our thanks extend to the incredibly talented Danu Seith-Fyr, who selected Lamar Noir as one of her Best Perfumes of 2024. Danu’s beautifully expressive writing described Lamar Noir as “opulent and darkly addictive”—a sentiment that thrilled us to no end. We are so grateful that this fragrance resonated with her and deeply honoured by her recognition.
To Michelyn, Steven, Danu, and the entire CaFleureBon team,
Thank you for your support, friendship, and the beautiful way you celebrate perfumery. Your passion and creativity are an inspiration, and we are so grateful for the thoughtful recognition you have shared with us this year.
We look forward to many more years of collaboration, connection, and a shared love for this art we all treasure so deeply.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Kajal Team
