Leah Kateb Turned a Persian Love Legend Into Skylar’s Sweetest Fragrance Yet

What if falling in love came with notes of rosewater, almond cake, and caramelized pistachio?

That is the idea behind True Love’s Cake, the newest fragrance from Skylar and the third scent created by the brand’s Chief Creative Officer and “Refounder,” Leah Kateb.

For Kateb, the fragrance is more than just another beauty launch. Inspired by memories of her grandmother’s kitchen and the centuries-old Persian tradition of baking a Persian Love Cake, the scent tells a deeply personal story rooted in family, culture, and romance. According to legend, anyone who receives a Persian Love Cake is destined to fall hopelessly in love with the baker.

Translating that story into fragrance, True Love’s Cake opens with rosewater, plum nectar, and cardamom pod before revealing a floral heart of orange blossom honey, damask rose, and cherry blossom. The scent finishes with warm notes of almond cake, caramelized pistachio, and sandalwood, creating a gourmand blend that feels both nostalgic and modern.

“With True Love’s Cake, Leah has done something rare, she’s translated a deeply personal story into a scent that feels universal,” said Ariella Yager, Vice President of Marketing at Starco Brands, Skylar’s parent company.

The fragrance made its debut through the Sephora app on June 15 before rolling out nationwide across Sephora stores, Sephora.com, and Skylar.com the following day. It is available in a 50ml Eau de Parfum and a 10ml travel spray.

To mark the launch, Kateb will host a Sephora pop-up at Century City in Los Angeles on June 27, where fans will have the opportunity to experience the fragrance alongside its creator.

If the scent’s notes are anything to go by, this may be Skylar’s sweetest love story yet.
