Layla

Inspiration
Layla means night in Arabic. Alchemists often worked after sunset, believing the position of the stars influenced their formulas. Kemi captures that mood of quiet, concentrated hours in a spicy oriental scent that feels calming and lively at once.

Fragrance Family
Oriental and spicy

The Olfactive Composition
Top notes: Clove, nutmeg
Heart notes: Ylang-ylang, cedar, woody notes
Base notes: Amber, patchouli, musk, vanilla

The Signature of Layla
Clove and nutmeg give an intriguing yet finely dosed start. At the heart, sweet ylang-ylang and calm cedar meet in a harmonious accord. The drydown is smooth and dreamy, with amber, patchouli, musk and a touch of vanilla.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
We often call Layla Kemi's most wearable scent. The spices are clearly present, but they do not sting: they feel more like a warm blanket. After an hour the ylang-ylang comes forward, and the scent becomes more floral and softer than you would expect at first. We like to wear it on autumn evenings and during the holidays, when clove and vanilla feel just right. For those who love oriental scents but prefer to avoid oud, this is a beautiful choice.
