What does Layla smell like?

It opens with nutmeg and clove, which give a warm, spiced start. In the heart, cedar, woody notes and ylang-ylang add a soft floral and woody layer. The base of patchouli, musky notes, amber and vanilla sweetens the scent and gives it an oriental finish, with a fruity tone running through the sweetness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters mostly read it as feminine, though it is described as unisex. Harry Lehmann Bahia and Electimuss Rhodanthe have a close profile.
