Layali

**UPDATE** So its been about a year since i visited this scent. I Have the EDP version, so idk if it performs different than the oil . However I learned that less really is more with this one. Im using this as a night time scent and i layer it with white amber oil. That seems to level out the oud, that gave it the musty undertone. Typically I'm a girl of 8-10 sprays but this only needs 2-3 to really do the job. The EDP is highly concentrated so it projects just enough to smell it from a 2-3 foot radius but last like that 6+ hours. My 'walk by' air is soooo good !-08/12/2025 I would have to agree with @pixiemist on this scent. Layali smells vey beautiful in the bottle and in the opening, when you spray it on paper you can smell the florals and plum and citrus that smells light and clean and you don’t instantly smell the oud at all ...but the way that the amber and oud sits in this one is questionable. ideally i love this scent but as it warms up , the oud becomes noticeable in like a dirty animalic sort of way. I love oud but in contrast to the fruity florals this smells musty. It made me feel weird because it smells like i just put perfume over myself after leaving an intense gym session with no deodorant or shower.- 06/07/24

I just picked this beauty up at Marshall's for $16.99! I just love those rack store finds. I've had my eye on these Swiss Arabians for a few years now so I was surprised to see both Layali and Shaghaf Oud at Marshalls. Layali is just beautiful. From the bottle to the Juice. I love plum, black currant and ylang ylang and that is exactly what you get with this beauty. While wearing it, I found that it reminded me of Xerjoff Muse. Very, very similar, but not as complex. I smell absolutely NO OUD. Sillage is really enormous and the longevity is very good. I love it. I thought it was going to be an oil with a wand when I got it, but was surprised that it has an atomizer spray. Very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it because it's a great gift for Mother's Day. Update: May 25, 2023 So my Layali has been macerating for a little over a month now, and freaking wow. It is a straight up dupe for Xerjoff Muse! I sprayed muse on one hand and layali on the other. Boom! They smell exactly alike I don't know why nobody is talking about this! What an absolute hidden gem!

I bought this oil a month ago. Initially, I didn’t like it so I left it alone. Recently I’ve been trying to find a spring/summer scent to wear and remembered I had this. I decided to give it another go. I smelled it and thought, “it didn’t smell like this when I got it.” I can only remember that the oil was not pleasant to smell at all. I definitely remember making a face too since it didn’t smell like any of the notes listed. Now it definitely is a fruity floral scent. It’s more citrusy to me which I personally like. It’s also somewhat of a clean scent to me as well. It’s very nice to put on after you get out the shower. If you don’t like this oil, maybe have it sit for a month (or longer) and give it a go another time. Because now I really, really like this oil!!!

I bought this to complete my collection of the similar oils. My hopes weren’t very high due to mixed reviews. Turns out I love it more than Layali Rouge and Yulali! This one is going to be very dependent on your chemistry! For me, it starts out light and clean with a little fruity floral mixture. As it develops in the skin, it gets much stronger on me but continues to smell very clean. I can’t detect the oud at all. Overall, it reminds me of fabric sheets but in a good way. It’s more mature than the rouge version but not in an elderly way. I put it on last night before bed and this morning my husband was sniffing all around me asking what scent that was. He says he rates it 8/10 and he’s a fragrance snob!

A personal favourite of mine from Swiss Arabian, like a floral fragrance for middle eastern women. Very strong, nothing subtle about it. Beautifully done and exquisite packaging. Decorative, elegant and my favourite of this line of perfume oils (the floral bottle ones) Smells like the colour of deep purple but in the sense of flowers and very intense. Feminine, strong and wearable. Am not sick of it. Expertly done. Swiss Arabian could do with making perfume sprays of the other oils. In this circumstance i think the EDP did better than the oils. Packaging is perfect. Longevity and silage is strong. Definitely more suited to MENASA women.
