Nyla is the sunniest of the three Nylas in the catalogue — a monoï worn as a fragrance.
— The opening is tropical and juicy: a fruity accord, coconut and peach nectar. Coconut in perfumery is not the dry nut, it is the milk: creamy, lactonic, barely sweet. With the peach, you are straight into ripe fruit.
— The heart is a white flower: a floral accord led by tiare blossom. Tiare is the flower of monoï, picked in Polynesia — sunlit and creamy, close to gardenia. Set on the coconut, it gives that smell of warm skin and oil that everyone recognises without being able to name it.
— The base is powdery: sandalwood and heliotrope. Heliotrope smells of almond and face powder, not far from iris; the sandalwood, milky in its own right, carries the coconut of the opening through. Nothing ever falls back into dryness.
A spring and summer fragrance, for daytime, unisex with a clear feminine leaning. To be honest: it is very readable and it does not try to surprise you — it is a fragrance that pleases quickly, not one that tells a story. Two to three sprays.

Mango Affogato takes its name from an Italian dessert — a scoop of ice cream with a scalding espresso poured over it — and the fragrance keeps exactly that promise.
— The opening is sunlit and tropical: mango, passion fruit and papaya. It is generous and very juicy, the kind of opening that turns heads in a room.
— The heart is the dessert itself: an affogato accord — coffee and vanilla ice cream — with sugar and milky notes. It is the hot/cold contrast of the recipe that is reproduced: the bitterness of the coffee against the softness of the milk.
— The base is creamy and lasting: vanilla, musk and sandalwood. Sandalwood is naturally milky; it carries the sensation of melted ice cream all the way to the end.
A summer and mid-season fragrance, for daytime, frankly unisex. To be honest: it is very sweet and very demonstrative — this is not an office fragrance, and anyone looking for something sober will find nothing here. But for summer, for going out, and for people who like being asked what they are wearing, it does exactly the job. Two sprays are enough.

Nyla Vani-Elle is the easiest to love of the whole Arabiyat range: a bright gourmand fruity, with no rough edges at all.
— The opening is sharp and juicy: orange, cherry and bergamot. The cherry is the note that makes it immediately recognisable — pulpy, lightly tart, it sets the tone from the first second.
— The heart tips towards dessert: jasmine, caramel and pear. The pear rounds off the caramel and keeps it from turning heavy, the jasmine brings just enough floral that it is not only confectionery.
— The base is soft and warm: vanilla, amber and musk. Simple, well measured, and it is what makes it last on the skin at the end of the day.
An everyday fragrance, good all year, and genuinely unisex — caramel and cherry lean neither way. The kind of fragrance you can give without getting it wrong: it is liked quickly and it shocks nobody. Two to three sprays.
