By consulting with the singer and actress' mother and brother, Diane and Rashad Haughton, Xyrena was able craft a true aromatic tribute inspired by actual fragrances Aaliyah wore 14 years after her tragic passing.
The resulting fragrance is unisex but leans masculine, as Aaliyah favoured traditional men's scents in line with her signature image. The formula is also a hue of black, which was Aaliyah's favorite colour. Aaliyah by Xyrena has base notes of vanilla, sandalwood, amber, and jasmine; middle notes of black pepper, violet and leather; with top notes of mint, lavender and mandarin.
"It has been wonderful working with Xyrena to create an incredible fragrance that embodies the beauty, mystery, and creativity that my sister infused into every aspect of her life," said Rashad Haughton.
