Our take

A fruit-forward floral that carries tobacco is not a daytime office companion. It is a deliberate evening statement for someone who enjoys a scent that draws attention and stays present through a long night out. The opening gives apricot and osmanthus a bright, juicy start, but the heart quickly moves into tuberose and tobacco that feel rich and slightly creamy. That lactonic white floral weight is exactly why the composition remains vivid on skin for an extended period and announces itself clearly in a crowded room. Narcissus and citrus add a faint green snap, keeping the sweetness from becoming flat, while the base of white musk and amber smooths the edges into a powdery finish.

Layla suits wearers who want a bold, oriental floral that feels dressed up and unapologetic. The sweetness here is real, and anyone who prefers clean, understated scents will find it overwhelming. Composed by Mustafa Firoz and Esmail Firoz, it leans into its accords rather than softening them, making it ideal for warm evenings on a terrace where music is playing and glasses are clinking under string lights. You can picture it lingering in the air as people move through a lively gathering, a golden ribbon of fruit and smoke winding through the night.
