I will try to briefly describe my impression of the scent with this short comment:
The Opening (Duration: approx. 1-2 hours):
First of all, big compliments to DUA! I love Layton and Aventus, and with this fragrance, they have managed to combine both main components. The opening is very citrusy, fruity, fresh, and comparatively long-lasting. A fruity Chypre! The typical Aventus pineapple note accompanies this successful start. The sillage is really very strong during the first 2 hours (I would give it a 9). While the drydown of Layton occurs much earlier, you need to be a bit more patient here.
The Drydown (after approx. 2 hours):
The drydown then moves more towards the creamy and gourmand direction. Birch, musk, and vanilla join in, while the citrus notes fade a bit. Overall, the scent no longer radiates the great initial power. However, it smells really delicious :). I would now rate the sillage a 7. In comparison, I find the drydown of Layton stronger - the drydown of PLC is a bit too shy for me.
Longevity:
As can be inferred from the title, I am not completely satisfied with the longevity. Especially with products from DUA, I would have expected a longevity beyond the 10-hour mark. However, the scent leaves me "already" after 6-8 hours. But it could also be due to my skin type... on clothing, it holds up solidly.
Why I still find the scent so good:
It really excellently combines the individual components of Aventus, Layton, and Percival. Anyone who loves the individual fragrances will adore PLC! This scent is also a perfect all-rounder. In the office? No problem! Date night? Compliments guaranteed! Season? Doesn't matter! Even during sports, it delights me :)
I can agree with everything, as a Layton fan I love this scent, it's a brilliant combination.
But it lasts significantly shorter than Royal Chariot Attar.

Thank you so much for the tip! I'll definitely report back if there are any changes in the longevity and intensity :)
