Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect juicy, spiced stone fruit that settles into a woody, sophisticated skin scent for some, or a synthetic, mouldy fruit disaster for others. Definitely try before you buy, it's not for everyone.
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.

Occasions
Given its strong projection and divisive nature, Apricot Privee isn't ideal for the office. However, its 'sexy adult' quality and 'jammy, spiced' character make it suitable for dates or evening casual wear, especially in cooler weather, where its warmth can shine.
