Laytoooneeee ...

The famous Layton is not so famous for nothing,
because it is simply a masterpiece and one of the best compositions between niche and designer fragrances in my opinion despite the fact that it is a niche fragrance.
I think it's only made to be famous and suitable for the masses One of the best entry-level fragrances in the niche world.

It's not overly extravagant or particularly different, it's not mature and grown up but the crazy young man in his early twenties or between twenty and thirty in the niche world I would say.

You can never go wrong with this fragrance in life because it is so multi-layered.

But I have to say one thing :

I have the feeling that when I smelled it on someone years ago it was just better, it somehow had that certain something that I don't think is quite there anymore.
So too bad really if they changed the formulation because I just don't like it as much as I used to.

But I still have to say pdm is actually a good perfume company with really great scents.
I don't think anyone makes fragrances like them. They always manage to present their DNA clearly and it's incredibly great.

Hope this helps a little with the decision.

The certain something that is no longer there is the fresh synthol note that was completely omitted after reformulation. This was particularly present in the opening

Hmm... "Niche" and "suitable for the masses" is something that doesn't really go together - at least that's how it used to be. I don't see PdM as a niche - just like Xerjoff. These fragrances are simply too widespread and not special enough (anymore).
But I still have the old (?) definition in the back of my mind, which still had something to do with exclusivity and the fact that a niche fragrance can't be smelled on every corner.
It almost seems as if this kind of "niche" is only defined by the price, but no longer by what "niche" actually means.
