Greenley is true to its name
As the title suggests, we are dealing with a very fresh, light green scent here.
The beginning is marked by a synthetic fresh note that, as funny as it may sound, slightly resembles toilet stone for me. This parallel fades after the first 20-30 minutes of wear, leaving behind a mature fruity base. The fragrance is definitely suited for warmer days.
The choice of clothing does not play as significant a role with this scent as it does with other fragrances.
In conclusion, I can say that I quite like the scent, but it will not make it to my top 10 list.

The Younger yet More Mature Brother of its Predecessor
The fragrance creation "Layton Exclusif" is indeed the evolution of the scent "Layton" and thus the younger version of the fragrance, but this does not apply in this case. The scent feels somewhat more mature than the regular Layton, in my opinion due to the less extreme sweetness and the absence of a fruity opening. With the added note of "Oud," the fragrance appears a bit darker and heavier than its predecessor. As I mentioned in my last review of the regular Pdm Layton, which is suitable for colder days, I find myself repeating this for this scent once again. The only difference is that Layton Exclusif is personally more suitable for everyday wear due to the lack of strong sweetness.

The Specialist in His Field
Since Parfums de Marly Layton is considered one of the best entry-level niche perfumes, I had to test it, and here I try to put my first impressions into words.
Right from the start, you can smell a sweet orange and in the background a not-so-sweet apple, paired with bergamot, which gives the fragrance a balance to the sweetness. Shortly after, the vanilla comes through very quickly, and this note lasts the longest. After about an hour of wear, the fragrance transforms, moving away from the fruity notes to a heavier sweetness. Now the base notes of the fragrance, sandalwood, cardamom, and guaiac wood, come to the forefront.
The fragrance has a longevity of 9h+, although it may not be as intense after a certain time, but it is still detectable.
I can recommend this scent to lovers of sweet fragrances, such as those from the designer range "Tom Ford Noir Extreme."

The Porsche 911 of the LV Fragrances
The fragrance Ombre Nomade is by far one of the strongest scents I have had the pleasure of smelling. Upon immediate application, the scent is oriental and dry, with the raspberry not coming through as strongly at first, in my opinion. I see slight parallels to the Oud scent of Tom Ford Oud Wood, although the scent in Ombre Nomade is significantly stronger and more intense.
Why do I consider this the Porsche 911 among LV fragrances?
For me, the 911 series at Porsche stands for perfection, style, and a long history. This can also be applied to the fragrance creation "Ombre Nomade," as it is considered the flagship among all Louis Vuitton perfumes.
In conclusion, I can say that Ombre Nomade is a very successful fragrance. One could even say that if you like oriental scents, this fragrance is a fairly safe "blind buy," although I would still recommend purchasing a sample beforehand ;) .
The retail price of over €300 may initially be off-putting, but due to the strength of the scent, you don't need much of it, which means the 100ML should last most people longer.

A night by the campfire comes to an end.
The creation from Maison Margiela, "by the fireplace," reminds me of an evening by the campfire. The scent when the campfire goes out, combined with a initially light and becoming more pronounced vanilla note throughout the day. The fragrance is definitely one for the colder days, as it gives off an almost warming scent due to its smoky and simultaneously sweet components.
Personally, I find that the fragrance can be somewhat too present in terms of sillage after just one spray. While this may be an indicator of a good perfume for many, the smoky, sweet note of "by the fireplace" always initially causes me slight migraines.
In conclusion, one can definitely say that the fragrance is worth the nearly one hundred euros new, if you like the fragrance notes that are already very well described on Parfumo.
