Xerjoff Layla is a Parfum launched in 2023, created by Chris Maurice. Layla opens with Clove and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's Layla carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a seriously under-celebrated gem from Xerjoff, offering a refined and sophisticated amber-vanilla experience. While some find it leans feminine, especially in the opening, its creamy, well-blended character makes it undeniably elegant and a proper hidden treasure.

About

Layla opens with a warm, spicy embrace of nutmeg and clove, hinting at something rich and exotic. This soon melts into a creamy, almost balmy heart where the soft sweetness of ylang-ylang intertwines with earthy patchouli and dry cedar. The base settles into a luxurious, smooth blend of vanilla, musk, and amber, creating a polished and comforting scent that feels expensive without being loud.
