Xerjoff Laylati is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Chris Maurice. Laylati opens with Green Notes, settles into a heart of Cedar and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Tobacco. Xerjoff's Laylati carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Laylati is a divisive one, often compared to Black Afgano but without the cannabis note. Expect a deep, green-woody journey with a twist of sweet tobacco, though some find it a bit too lactonic or just plain weird. It's an acquired taste, for sure, and definitely not for everyone.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its intensity and complex character make it less suitable for office wear, where a more understated scent is usually preferred. It shines brightest on dates and formal occasions, with its strong woody and tobacco notes lending a sophisticated air. This is not a casual or sport fragrance; it demands attention.

About

This scent opens with a bold, green freshness that quickly settles into the earthy depths of patchouli and clean cedar. As it evolves, the fragrance unfolds into a complex base of musky vanilla and dried tobacco, creating a darkly sweet and smoky aura. A subtly powdery edge lingers throughout, rounding out the strong woody character.
