Love or hate ?!
This will be an objective commentary (as far as possible).
First of all, I think you can only love or hate this fragrance, I am probably one of the very few who are somewhere in the middle and only like it.
Explanation:
As the fragrance is very strong and not for the faint-hearted, it was just too much for me and I couldn't really stand it.
This fragrance is not for the faint-hearted. For people who are used to designers or for people who don't particularly want to stand out and are rather quiet types. As I personally like smoother fragrances and am not particularly "wild" as a person, it wasn't my type of fragrance at first. One person described it quite well as a "mafia" fragrance.
The sweet/leather note here is particularly strong. That makes it "rough and wild". Personally, I get less oud here and more of this rough leather note.
But back to the actual explanation. At first, the fragrance was just too much for me, too rough, too rough. However, after wearing or smelling it several times, you get used to it and it won me over at least a little. So that I can wear it on days when I just feel a bit "wilder". With the nose, it's always a matter of context. If you have only smelled light or more mainstream fragrances, your nose is used to them. If you then suddenly smell strong tones, oud-like, niche fragrances, the nose is suddenly overwhelmed and turned off. This is also a point that you always have to bear in mind. That's why you sometimes have to "taste" some fragrances for longer.
In the meantime, I have warmed to the fragrance and can appreciate it for what it is. However, I don't think that many people in the West will like it and get compliments for it. It's just not suitable for that.
Now to the actual fragrance profile:
This fragrance surprisingly has very strong masculine aspects but also very feminine at the same time. The aforementioned leather note is rough and strong and accompanies it throughout the fragrance with the "raspberry" accord and incense. I would call it something like a rougher, slightly animalic
Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum leather on steroids. I think that sums it up pretty well. They are very different scents but you could associate it that way.

The better Layton for me
Got the Dusk today.
First of all, the packaging. It arrives very high quality and the bottle is also very high quality. Like a niche fragrance, even better than some. The cap is magnetic, which gives it an even more premium touch. The fragrance is also like a niche fragrance, no alcohol smell, very deep and complex smelling. Only the spray head is lacking in the category, but it's still not mega bad but not particularly outstanding either. A small plus is the travel spray that comes with it. Change the spray head and you could sell the fragrance for 5 times as much. My opinion. It easily beats several designer fragrances in every category except the spray head.
About the fragrance: I can say right away that in my opinion it comes very, very close to Layton, with only minor differences that are really insignificant. There are only differences in the top note for the first few seconds to minutes and only if you compare it really closely with your nose and even then I think 90% could not distinguish the two in a direct comparison. In the air it would therefore not be possible to tell them apart at all. I don't have the Layton with me, but I had it for months but then gave it back because I felt (my nose) that it didn't last long or had too little sillage. But it could really just be my nose. That's why I think the Dusk is much better. Not to mention the price-performance ratio.
As for the fragrance description, the Dusk starts a little fresher than the Layton. The top notes are citrus or apple, cardamom (which makes the opening fresh) and spices in the background. Later, the cardamom fades a little more and more vanilla and spices come to the fore. However, the apple and cardamom are still present and don't disappear (thankfully).
Personally, I don't like fragrances that are too sweet. Dusk and Layton are sweet but not too sweet for me. The Dusk doesn't seem any sweeter to me than the Layton.
The Dusk is also very present and not a faint smelling fragrance.
All in all, I am really pleasantly surprised by the Dusk and would like others to copy it and deliver similar quality. For me, the original is simply superfluous. They've come up with something really strong imo. I wonder what other fragrance connoisseurs think about it.

Maahir is a great summer fragrance that I would only wish for a little more sillage. Having tested it for a week, it doesn't seem that strong to me in this area, but it is in all other areas. In terms of durability, it lasts well, you can still smell it the

The best flanker yet
The opening of the PG is by far the best part. Very exotically fruity and yet not too sweet, but still quite sweet. Later, the fragrance develops and the coconut component becomes more apparent. I personally like the fact that the coconut component is not too strong.
However, those who don't like coconut will not be satisfied here
Towards the base, it develops in such a way that it constantly has a kind of sweet, light mineral aspect and a "marine" aspect, whereby the coconut is always present. I would say you can wear it any time of the year, but fall-summer is probably the most appropriate. It should be said, however, that this fragrance could probably not be classified directly as a midsummer fragrance. It has fresh aspects, but in my opinion it is still not directly classifiable as freshy. Lasting power and sillage are extremely good for me. After 6-10 spritzes, you can still smell it on your clothes after a good 3 days.

Stronger with you dna and leather
I was able to test it by chance, surprisingly it was available locally in Berlin.
But you don't need to test it. I'll keep it short, stronger with you dna with leather. That's what it smells like. I think it's also a clone of stronger with you leather. It smells extremely high quality, you can't go wrong for the price. The leather here is very nice and not too strong or irritating at all. I personally find it much better than the Tom Ford ombre leather. It's not too sweet and the leather gives the fragrance the necessary something. I would also wear it in summer. Lasting sillage is very good for me. I usually spray 7-8 times. I would recommend this fragrance to anyone who likes the stronger with you dna and a touch of leather and elegance/maturity. Apart from the bottle, the fragrance could be sold for much more.
