Ayalitta and Megumi were both chosen for me by Ayala. I have been wearing one on one wrist and the other on the other for the past two days. Both are chypres and very similar to each other, at least on me. I don't know that I would want both, but I might alternate between buying one or the other at different times. I expected the notes to be very similar because of how similar they are. I was surprised to see how many were different. I italicized the notes that are the same, though the source or type of rose or jasmine is different, for example.
Ayalitta
Green chypreTop notes: Galbanum, Sage, Neroli
Heart notes: Jasmine, Rose, Clary Sage
Base notes: Patchouli, Oak moss, Labdanum
The Megumi is lighter on me and disappears quicker. The Ayalitta is stronger, or sharper as my dh noted. I suspect it's that patchouli. Both have oakmoss. My younger girls and dh all chose Ayalitta as their favorite of the two. College Girl is not here to ask. Megumi is a tad spicier, but it is not enough noticeable on me to make a difference in what I would order. Generally speaking, I would lean to the spicier. But it is the patchouli that makes the Ayalitta fall into a 'spicy' category for me. My 11 year old said the sillage she smelled was Ayalitta.
Again, they are blended seamlessly. They seem a part of you.
Megumi
Woody spicy chypre, with a heart of jasmine and rose and a base of agarwoodTop notes: Red Mandarin, Apricot, French Rose
Heart notes: Turkish Rose, Indian Jasmine, Allspice
Base notes: Oud, Vetiver, Oakmoss
So there you have it. If you like chypres, try them. Perhaps on you they are quite different. I think chemistry makes a difference in how one wears a fragrance, else we would all wear the same. Or, if you know you dislike one note in one, then choose the other. You can't go wrong, especially if you are trying samples first.
Do you wear either of these? how do they compare on you?
