Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Layali EDP
Layali is a serious love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's a sophisticated fruity-floral. For others, the oud hits them with a 'dirty' or 'cleaning product' vibe. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it first to see if you get royal queen or sour BO.

Our Verdict - Night Time EDP
A budget take on Swiss Arabian's Layali. Night Time captures the juicy dark-plum opening and lush floral heart over oud and amber that defines the original, but Perfume Parlour's version reads sweeter and flatter, with the precious oud feeling more synthetic and the enormous sillage of the original reined in.

Season and Occasion Fit

Layali

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its divisive nature and strong sillage mean it's not ideal for the office, where subtlety is key. However, its rich fruity-floral and amber-oud profile makes it well-suited for evening dates or formal events, though some find it versatile enough for sophisticated casual wear.

Night Time

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sensual, oriental depth leans toward evenings, dates and formal occasions rather than the office or the gym.
