Layali Rubis
Layali Rubis by Swiss Arabian is an unisex eau de parfum in the budget price tier. It opens with pear, bergamot and mandarin, moves into bulgarian rose, rose and orange blossom and dries down to akigalawood, vanilla and sandalwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Bulgarian Rose Fresh, dewy and green. The 'real rose garden' version.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Akigalawood Patchouli with the earth taken out. Peppery, lightly spiced dry wood that makes a base feel expensive.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
