Hayyati by Brandy Prestige 100ml Extrait de Parfum

Description

Three notes, one clear idea. Hayyati by Brandy is a rose and berry perfume with a leather backbone, and the simplicity is its strength. It opens on juicy raspberry, tart and a little jammy, the sort of fruit that makes you smile before you have even worked out what you are smelling. This unisex Extrait de Parfum wears bold and confident straight from the off.

Underneath the fruit sits a deep, velvety rose. Not a fresh garden rose but a richer, slightly darker one, the kind that feels dressed up for the evening. The raspberry keeps it from turning too serious, lending a sweet-tart brightness that plays against the flower beautifully. This is the stage where the perfume feels most alive, fruity and floral at once, generous and warm.

As the sweetness eases back, the leather comes through. It is smooth and supple rather than harsh or smoky, more like a soft new jacket than an old saddle, and it gives the whole thing a grown-up edge that stops it reading as purely pretty. That contrast is the point. Raspberry, rose and leather is a combination that flatters men and women alike, which is exactly why it works so well as a shared bottle on a dressing table.

Fragrance Notes

• Top: Raspberry
• Heart: Rose
• Base: Leather

Extrait concentration means it wears close, rich and holds well, with the leather clinging to the skin long after the fruit has faded. Projection is warm rather than loud, better suited to a leaning-in distance than filling a whole room, which gives it an intimate, personal feel. You only need a spray or two to get the full effect, so the 100ml bottle is a genuinely generous amount of a scent this concentrated.

Suited to autumn and winter and cooler evenings, when the leather and rose have room to develop, though the lively raspberry keeps it wearable through the rest of the year too. It works for date nights and dinners, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes their florals with a bit of an edge. There is a moody, romantic quality to it that suits the darker months especially well. Easy to love, and hard to mistake for anything else once you have worn it.
