Decanted Sample of Layton by Parfums de Marly

My pockets will hate me but at least I’ll smell good

Besides the eucalyptus smelling opening, it dries incredibly nicely.

Cozy, great smell overall

Good winter fragrance.

Even though it smells like vapor rub its smells like it in a very rich way. It’s a very warm scent which you just want to keep on sniffing more and more. This is an amazing fragrance but not what I expected .

I understand the hype a little bit. It’s sweeter than I anticipated, and you do get the apple  with some florals in the opening. This is a long lasting scent that performs best in colder weather. It smells great and will get many compliments.

Took a few wears to enjoy it, but many people mentioned the smell of menthol.

Took a few wears to really like it just like with other niche fragrances, although I am quite new to fragrances.  Won’t be buying a full bottle of any Parfums de Marly until I try all of them.

Sweet vanilla with an apple note. Pretty good performance with incredible sillage. Strong compliment getter.

I TRIED THIS FRAGRANCE TWICE FRIST TIME I WAS'NT SURE ABOUT THE PRODUCTION THE SECOND TINE THE PRODUTION WAS AMAJOR PLUS. I FIND OUT THE APPLE STAYED WITH FIRST AND SECOND NOTES IT HAD LIGHT SWEETNESS TO IT WHICH MADE THE GERANIUM PLESENT. I LIKE THIS FRAGRANCE AND CONTINUE USING IN THE FALL

I'm not gonna buy a full bottle. It's not my cup of tea, but good overall. A little to sweet and to my nose smell a little bit like Vicks. Its doesn't smell Vicks to every nose, most people like this fragrance. The dry down is good !

This was my first time ever smelling Layton. After two days of wear, I have some thoughts.

1) 2 sprays on my neck lasted over 8 hours easily. I’d say performance is very good
2) Once it dries down, I mostly get a minty vanilla smell. I can’t decide if it’s a warm or cool weather scent. I think it’s both.
3) The one issue with it is a get a menthol-like smell to it I can’t get out of my head. It’s very Vicks-like. I wish that wasn’t there.

Overall, a powerful sophisticated scent. I’d rate it a 7.5/10 with price in mind.

It’s a good fragrance but for my liking a bit too sweet for me still great

A classic apple, vanilla, woody fragrance. Smells amazing in the winter. Starts quite sweet and ends with a mix of sweet and creamy woods. Almost a little oudy in the dry down.

A spicy and slightly sweet fragrance, it is perfect for fall and winter. It is so smooth, you’ll want to smell it for hours which is good because this lasts forever.

The opening was very sweet and fresh, almost minty. Great depth. You can tell it’s niche. When it dried down it became this sweet vanilla scent. It’s too sweet on my skin but I really appreciate it on others.

The overall jist of this fragrance is to essentially a slightly different Spicebomb Extreme. For the price i'd 1000% recommend spicebomb extreme and I also think it smells a bit better too. You might want to give this a try to compare to spicebomb, but the scent does not follow the hype IMO.

It's hard to review a fragrance that isn't really made for the masses.  The opening of this one was promising, but the dry down didn't work for me.  Something about the smell, maybe the mix of woods, fruits, powder and spice were just too much.
