I want to like it. Really
The opening is very beautiful.
The base is smoky, spicy, sweet.
I can clearly understand the parallels to Layton.

However, what happens in the heart notes I can only describe as unfavorable.

Rose, pine, and guaiac wood can be detected upon closer sniffing. Together, they evoke the association of toilet contents after a night of heavy drinking.

The scent walks a tightrope between dark, mysterious grace and falling into the pit behind the thunderbox. Without focus and closed eyes, my nose cannot manage to smell the former.

I probably need to test how the scent translates in the sillage. But I'm not sure if I dare to do that.

It really is a darker and nocturnal version of Amber Wood, beautiful, with greater prominence from the woods, and with better performance.

Location: Parking lot restroom. A few sprays of Layton are applied there. Quickly fire up the e-cigarette with apple tobacco - Et voilà.

When Layton died, there were physical changes during the autopsy to bring him back to life, but only the DNA remained similar.

Very similar to PdM Layton. More powerful than the regular Amber Wood. Overall balanced and pleasant.. it's worth trying.

An oriental scent that plays with guaiac wood, amber, rose, and sweet notes. Very deep and mystical. Quality is great! A bit too personal for me, though.

I'm not a big amber fan, but this one blew me away in a good way. Fresh and dark at the same time with a pleasant sweetness. Strong scent.
