Hayana

Update: After trying out more perfumes, I must say this is an elegant and mature fragrance. Compared to my other perfumes, this is currently giving more sophisticated. Original review: Beautiful sweet fruit and vanilla fragrance with complementing florals. Very strong and does not irritate the nose. The best part, you can layer it to bring out more vanilla or fruity berry scent depending on what you want. I'm not a fan of floral perfumes so if you're not either, you're likely safe (to my nose) On skin: It becomes more vanilla forward after the initial spray tampers down on its middle and base notes. On clothes: the fruit scents are still strong and present! I use this with a strawberry forward lotion as my base (i used gingham pink lotion by BBW) to bring out fruity scent more on skin and I absolutely love this combo. I am so excited for my nyla vani-elle to arrive because i know it's going to pair beautifully and bring out the vanilla more when I'm in the mood for something more cozy. This perfume is just crazy good and comforting and strong and lovely. P.S My husband likes fruity scents on me and I like sweet / vanilla gourmands, this gives me the best of both and paired with the strawberry / vanilla layering, it smells heavenly. One of my fav perfumes he wears is khamrah qahwa, this perfume is like the wife to that (without the spice which i don't like to wear as spice clings to me)

Not the beast mode i was expecting. Poor performance despite high oil concentration. Scent is feminine ; amber and vanilla, reminds me of a mixture between Born in roma intense. Was hoping for a better performance (i paid 58€), but for 25€ it would be worth it UPDATE : after letting it sit for some time, the things that were bothering me in the drydown regarding the musk disappeared. Performance is now incredible! When i first got it it was only projecting for the first 30min but longevity was veryyy good. But now, it’s projecting reaaally greatly

I received a sample of this and it does smell similar to yara but with a very strong tropical fruits and ambery woody base on the dry down. Edit to add: I ended up loving the sample's chemistry on my body and got a full bottle. I am enjoying this so much more than Yara. The sweet amber base is magnificent on my skin and lasts a long time. the fruit accord is stronger and this really lasts long. I have two bottles.

This is more unisex than you'd think. So darn good. Ahmed is the best house out there. I've had this a week now and man this smells good. Leans feminine but a guy can pull this off. Beautiful florals and longevity and sillage are both above average. Definitely on the strong side. 9.5/10.

I love it so much, warm berries assault my nose with sweet scent and turn into powdery amber musky. The only arabian scent that i tolerate. Also sophisticated scent.

A review a few comments down mentioned poor performance. I get great performance out of this. Near beast mode.

Btw this is honestly 95% the same DNA in the dry down as Yara Lataffa Pink but lasts forever.

performance very good...its actually vanilla sweet type with some mixed type

Editing to add to my original review: This fragrance puts a new spin on Yara. It loses the powdery notes and amps up the woodiness, but remains sweet and playful. This is the star of the show when you wear it. It is BEAST mode. I put it on my clothes for a road trip, and could smell it inside of my car over 7 days later. I put 1 spray on my arm last night to test a layering combo, I could smell it when I woke up and after my shower. This stuff would last through wars. I like this fragrance and I can definitely see the comparison to Yara. For me, there is a woody note that is very prominent on my skin. It's almost very cedar-like. It is new, so I am hopeful that will mellow out a bit. Even with the woody note, this is a sweet but not juvenile fragrance. I do think it could be good for a hot day, or a night out.

Does anyone know ows if this is the same as Layana? The are both in identical packaging.

اشتريته اتفاجات نفس ريحة يارا بضبط بس هو احلى من يارا واعمق مابيه الريحة الصناعية ، ولكن ثباته تشميه علملابس بصورة خفيفة جداً فوحانه ضعيف بس اول نص ساعة يكدر احد يشمه عليا والا يكون قريببب جدا مني لدرجة ينفع عطر بالبيت او عند النوم ابداً ماينفع ك عطر نهاري بالصيف ولكن ريحته لطيفة وحلوة

This leans hard into the tropical fruits in the opening and maintains a heavy vanilla presence throughout. You must love fruity and vanilla combinations to enjoy this. Longevity is above average. This leans feminine, and is best for cool weather or evenings. Can be cloying in the heat.

@Estherfraglover : Yes, Hayana used to be called Layana. They changed the name. Same notes and the same fragrance.
