True Love’s Cake is the newest fragrance from Skylar and the third born from the creative vision of Chief Creative Officer and “Refounder” Leah Kateb. 

Rooted in family memory, cultural heritage, and a touch of old magic, True Love’s Cake is one of the most personal Kateb worked on.

The fragrance profile for True Love’s Cake is inspired by Kateb’s grandmother’s kitchen and a centuries-old Persian legend that if you bake someone a Persian Love Cake, they will fall helplessly in love with you.

A romantic gourmand unlike anything in Skylar’s portfolio, True Love’s Cake opens with rosewater, plum nectar, and cardamom pod, soft, floral, and impossibly romantic. The heart features orange blossom honey, damask rose, and cherry blossom before settling into a warm, drydown of almond cake, caramelized pistachio, and sandalwood.

Ariella Yager, VP of Marketing at Starco Brands (parent company of Skylar), said, 

“With True Love’s Cake, Leah has done something rare – she’s translated a deeply personal story into a scent that feels universal. It’s romantic and nostalgic and completely unforgettable, which is exactly where this brand is headed.”

True Love’s Cake launches exclusively on the Sephora app on June 15, giving Sephora members first access before anyone else. The following day, June 16, the fragrance rolls out nationwide in Sephora retail stores, on Sephora.com, and on Skylar.com. It is available as a 50ml eau de parfum and a 10ml travel spray. 

To celebrate the launch, Kateb will host a Sephora pop-up at Century City in Los Angeles on June 27th from 4–6 PM. 

At the pop-up, fans can experience True Love’s Cake in person alongside Leah herself. And this is just the beginning. Skylar has a full summer of moments planned for the community to fall in love with this scent IRL.
