Forget dinner and a movie — Leah Kateb just turned date night into a whole fragrance fantasy.
The Love Island USA breakout and certified it-girl has officially stepped into her next act as SKYLAR’s Chief Creative Officer (and self-proclaimed “Refounder”), debuting her first-ever fragrance for the brand: “Double Dates,” and trust us when we say that this one’s as delicious as it sounds.
Over the weekend, Kateb toasted to the major milestone with a dreamy soirée that felt equal parts chic and cheeky — just like Leah herself. Held at The Fleur Room in West Hollywood, the evening was packed with A-list guests like Ariana Madix, Patrick Ta, Madi Monroe, Maggie Lindemann, Amanda Steele, and Nazanin Kavari, all celebrating Leah’s sweet new era over cocktails and immersive scent experiences that turned the night into an olfactory fantasy. They were also given a glimpse into the irresistible new direction Leah is steering the brand toward: clean, confident, and deliciously personal.
So what does “Double Dates” actually smell like? Imagine a rich swirl of sweet dates, sticky toffee, and brown sugar — the kind of edible warmth that instantly makes you want to cozy up (or lean in a little closer). Inspired by Leah’s Middle Eastern heritage and her obsession with always smelling “good enough to eat,” the gourmand fragrance captures the intimacy of sharing dessert and the lingering thrill of the perfect night out.
“Creating my first fragrance with Skylar has been the sweetest dream come true,” Leah shared in a press release. “Double Dates gives me that delicate, warm, and, most importantly, edible feel. I hope you guys love it as much as I do!”
It’s indulgent but not overdone — a confident, modern scent that proves you can be both sophisticated and sweet. Like all SKYLAR staples, “Double Dates” is vegan, cruelty-free, hypoallergenic, and safe for sensitive skin, proving that clean beauty doesn’t have to mean boring beauty. So, whether you’re headed to dinner, drinks, or an actual double date, one thing’s for sure: this scent is guaranteed to leave them wanting seconds.
Leah’s appointment marks a rebirth for Skylar, the LA-born brand known for bringing West Coast ease and elevated individuality to the world of fragrance. With Leah leading the charge, Skylar’s future looks as irresistible as her debut scent — personal, expressive, and impossible to forget.
“Double Dates” is available now at Skylar.com and exclusively on the Sephora app ($90 for 50ml, $30 for 10ml travel spray).
