Applepie but no fruitcake

Applepie seems to be a common thread in the fragrances I really like lately. It’s a sweet comfy scent that just feels like home. Also the case with the first couple of moments with this Exclusif. Spray on and oh yeah that’s home.

However, this turns fast. It’s far from the cinnamon heavy chrismas frags like Kilian’s "Angels' Share | Kilian" and PdM’s own Oajan. It turns into a great, powerful masculine woody powerhouse. It’s dry, powdery almost. There’s a candy in The Netherlands called black and white candy, that reminds me of it.

All in all it’s a fantastic combination. Sweet enough to lure you in, serious enough to make a deal.

Read before you stone me

before i begin this write up, I just want to say that i think this is a well done, and fairly unique fragrance, especially for PDM standards: this is not for lack of quality in either the blending or ingredients.
but man this shit might just not be for me. my relationship with oud is fairly open, as im cool with it in my juice(you can say we're polyandrous) as long as its not the overwhelmingly dominant note in the fragrance. its not even in my top 10 of fragrance profiles, but i do possess and have tried other oud based or included scents that i enjoyed rather muchly.

ok so the opening...is fantastic. i mean its really brilliant in the way it takes some (not all) of Laytons strengths and blends it with PDMs choice of oud; makes for a unique and sublime experience really.

but that opening only lasts for about an hour (at least on my skin), and then its just straight wood. and ots really not even an unpleasant wood either, its just not my cup of tea. after about 8 hours or so, i feel like ive been going on adventures with Star Lord and the gang cause brother, I Am Groot.

now, i am holding out. a sliver of hope. when i first smelled Layton, im gonna keep it funky; i wasn't impressed in the slightest. it smelled of a high end version of body wash in spray form, you know the kind they hand out in goodie bags at the Illuminati meetings. but as my nose has opened up and ive gotten a chance to lay my honker on other fragrances, i went back to Layton and came away intrigued and wanting to spend more time with it.

the more i wore, the more i whore; wait, sorry wrong group. the more I wore Leighton the more interesting intricacies I picked up the more respect and adoration I gained for it so I'm hoping that exclusif is something similar.

the longevity is pretty good as i get about 9 -11 hours, sillage is fine and projection isnt super loud but good enough. you can find this on certain sites for $200 and at that value or slightly higher, its well worth it...of you sample first. well you should samlle before you buy most of the time (blind buying is such a rush so i wont ever discourage that).

again it's...it's honestly a great frag, just not for me.

Apple Interlude

If someone is deciding between Layton and L exclusive, then maybe my feeling about this fragrance could help them a little. I have both. I keep Layton in my bag for when I forget to spray myself in the morning. It's not a top fragrance for me, not even a top 50. I was looking forward to LE. There are about 5 seconds in common. It's an apple fusion of both scents. Next, LE turns slowly into the appley Amouage Interlude, where it stays for several hours. It's a dark, beautiful scent with a nutty, appley, woody undertone. Really great!

Layton has left Neverland

Compared to the original Layton, the projection and sillage of Exclusif is about the same while the longevity is stronger by a few hours. Online reviewers often describe this as a more mature Layton, and that is a spot on description. For me however, there's something that I personally find a bit too animalic, dirty and herbaceous- ultimately off putting about it. This would be good for the individual looking for a mature but still appealing Layton alternative which apparently I am not.

A master piece!

This fragrence is undeniably one of the best I've smelled in my life. It highlights a lot of great notes and gives each it's right. Also the vanilla in there is perfectly balanced and is just the right amount ! Its longevity is also great and my girl could smell it even after 8 hours of work in the car. It is my first horse but certainly not the last because PDM has certainly impressed with the complexity of this piece of art
