Absolutely the best bottled...
This is the very first time that I look at the "Smell Similar" list and I think it is 100% correct... it turns out that people are not always affected by olfactory hallucinations!
I currently own Layton, Red Tobacco and I used to have Bottled Elixir too (but I found out that I don't love patchouli bombs)... and I agree on the listed similarities.
Bottled Absolu is essentially a combination of Layton with Red Tobacco's dominant note.
I've tried it recently, and I would say that if you don't own any of the 3 frags I listed above, you could easily purchase Bottled Absolu (for a reasonable price) and make the other 3 redundant.
As I already have Layton and Red Tobacco, Bottled Absolu is not for me but it is definitely full bottle worthy.
Performance wise, I would agree with what most of the people are saying here, noting at least 3+ hours of decent arm's length projection. Given its notes, this is more of an autumn/winter fragrance which would be best used in the evening.
Usually, I steer away from blunt seasonal categorisations, but the tobacco note used here would make it suicidal if used during hotter months.
