The Hidden Champion of Parfums de Marly
Regularly I discover Layton Exclusif in the lists of forum users and I am happy that the fragrance is on
...appreciation. Nevertheless, Layton Exlusif remains an underdog, standing in the shadow of his older brothers Herod, Layton and co. Herod is the number one men's perfume on Parfumo, Pegasus is at number 91. In the unisex list, Layton Exclusif leads before Layton, but Layton has twice as many ratings.
Herod, Layton and co. are without doubt more popular. This is a pity in so far as Layton Exclusif is an interesting and exciting fragrance, next to which the original Layton seems dull and uninspired. Layton Exclusif combines niche and mass appeal in an interesting and pleasant way. It retains the modern, mass-appropriate and sweet elements of Layton, but adds sophisticated elements. The result is a prime example of a fragrance that can satisfy both niche and designer noses.
I would particularly recommend Layton Exclusif to people who value the quality and uniqueness of the niche world, but at the same time demand suitability for everyday use and are happy to receive positive reactions from their surroundings. This is exactly what Layton Exclusif can offer.
Keep your distance from people who don't like sweet, heavy and modern fragrances or who are looking for a summer scent
Which notes give Layton Exlusif its special dark character? The official website and Parfumo mention guaiac wood, while other forums list civet, coffee and oud. In the commentary below me, almonds are noticed. Some describe Layton Exclusif as extremely woody or oriental, while others perceive oud or animal notes.
As a layman, I'm keeping a low profile here. The only thing I know for sure is that Layton Exclusif smells heavier, darker and more demanding than its older brother.
Durability and silage are great. Layton Exclusif is noticed by fellow men even after hours, without me having to get on their nerves. And this is exactly what I expect from a fragrance - I want to be perceived from a reasonable distance. Especially in these times an understandable wish

Mango Sticky Rice - Thai dessert in seductive fragrance form
If there's one scent that has never interested me, it's citrus scents. Not because they smell bad - there are countless beautiful bergamot and orange notes. But because they're stinkers. Citrus and freshness...

Straight to the top with a heavenly overdose of rum, cedar & patchouli
Immediately interesting: Straight to Heaven is a fresh fragrance without classic fresh notes such as citrus and shower gel - Kilian Hennessy himself says something similar in a YouTube interview....
