Layton is in my opinion a brand new take into a masculine sweet fragrance. A borderline gourmand but with a fresh bite. A rich apple note with warm cinnamon with vanilla that’s aggressive, yet inviting. The opening does come off a bit like other openings of designer realms such as bergamot based openings but the scent is far from over. 15 minutes after you’ll start to detect the warm cinnamon and creamy sandalwood. I smell some rose in this somewhere in the heart, but not at all off putting. The apple in Layton is with the fragrance basically throughout the life of it. This is an amazing scent. The snobs will tell you this is generic and not even niche. But ask yourself this, when have you ever smelled something like Layton out there? There are other offerings from the house that indeed smell similar to designer fragrances. You can say Eros, ultra male, boss bottled, but none of those even come close to this creation. Do not pay attention to the niche snobs, you will smell like nobody in everyday life with this. Well done Parfums de Marly, you’ve done what most niche houses are afraid to do. And that’s make a crowd pleasing niche fragrance. Exclusif to my nose is wonderful but I prefer the sweetness of the original. If you’re into a woody or darker fragrance choose exclusif. I get 9+ hours on my skin with 5 hours of projection and a very nice complement getter 9.5/10 this is my favorite offering from the house

This was my first purchase from Noted Aromas, and I had mixed feelings. Out of the three I bought, this one was definitely the best. Like many "inspired by" fragrances, the initial spray has a strong alcohol scent, but it quickly fades, allowing the apple and bergamot notes to shine through, which blend really well together. As it dries down further, you start to get more vanilla with just a hint of sandalwood. I love sandalwood, so I was a bit disappointed that it doesn't last long, leaving the vanilla to dominate.

The bottle itself is nice, but the atomizer isn’t great. It sprays in more of a "squirt" rather than a fine, even mist, which feels a bit cheap. Also, like the other two fragrances I got, this one is very oily—almost like spraying oil directly onto your skin.

In terms of performance, it lasts fairly well, but you need to be generous with the application. I usually use at least 20 sprays. For example, I applied 20 sprays at 8:30 this morning, and as I'm writing this, I asked my wife if she could still smell it. She said, "I could smell it when you sat down, I got a whiff of sweet vanilla, but it's mostly faded now. I can still smell it on you and your clothes, but I would say that your scent bubble is pretty small, compared to let's say sauvage"

I typically buy 3 to 4 fragrances a month. This one is good, but remember to be generous with your sprays!

so far its incredible. it works so well with my natural body. other brands like clavin klein and burberry don't seem to stay on me very long but this fragrance oil is top tier for being an impression. Still can't believe how good of quality this is vs name brands. i really hope the price on this doesn't go up because i'll definitely be buy more. i actually ended up buying this and the bigger bottle to refill cuz i absolutely love this smell. also this jawn is very strong in the sense that if you roll the little metal bearing longer than an inch on you. it will fill the room up with this smell. the vanilla is the main ingredient i smell, but when i get warm or hot it smell it way more intense which is why using it sparingly will do wonders. especially when getting close to a girl, they'll want to lean in closer to get a better whiff haha anyways. i hope this review gets buried and no one see's how hyped up it is rn because Bad Bunny actually uses the real stuff this is based off of :) so i hit the do not recommend button... because i want to be the only one buying this jawn haha jk 10/10 would recommend

I am an avid collector and have an ample selection of fragrances and I gave DKmart the chance to surprise me… THEY DID, but NEGATIVELY. the fragrances themselves are completely FAKE, although a close match to the original (the bottle and packaging only). make sure you look for the following things:

-PDM’s horses have NO EYEBALLS! this one does

-The lettering for “1947” and the bottom of the bottle POP OUT way more rhan the original bottle.

-The color of the bottle is VERY CLOSE but not the same at all

I am currently working on a return but I have NO IDEA if they’re gonna give me my money back. I bought LAYTON and HALTANE. I pray I get my money back, seriously.
