Layla
Layla by Xerjoff is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with clove and nutmeg, moves into atlas cedar, patchouli and ylang-ylang and dries down to amber, musk and vanilla. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Heart
- Atlas Cedar Smoother, resinous cedar. Warmer than the Virginia type.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
