Layton Exclusif
Layton Exclusif by Parfums de Marly is a masculine-leaning parfum from 2017 in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, pink pepper and cardamom, moves into geranium and lavender and dries down to oud, sandalwood, patchouli and leather. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
