Layali is a uniquely layered fruity floral with a subtle oud backbone, best enjoyed in moderate to generous applications. The opening features plum and black currant with a hint of citrus, creating a fresh yet sweet impression that evolves into a creamy floral heart with jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang, all supported by soft amber and a delicate oud note. The drydown is warm, slightly woody, and gently balsamic, with an intriguing blend of fruit and florals that gives it a light, clean-balsamic character. Despite some users noting a soap-like or air freshener resemblance—particularly in initial wear—most find the scent transforms pleasantly over time, revealing a rich, feminine, and thoughtful composition during extended wear. It feels best suited for cool weather, offering a cheery yet sophisticated aroma that transitions seamlessly from day to night.
