You can do it, but you don't have to
I bought the fragrance because I noticed it very positively on my best friend. He wore it frequently for a while and I found it pleasant.
However, since I have owned it myself, I can understand some of the negative comments. I also find the Y too synthetic on me and annoying in the long run. That's why I only use it very rarely now.
However, my environment reacts positively to the fragrance, which is why it could theoretically be used as an everyday fragrance. Provided you like to smell it yourself.
I also see it more as a fragrance for younger men under 20, e.g. as a fragrance for school/university.
Fragrance: I am not a fragrance expert. Very synthetic, sweet smell. Smell the apple. Could also be a more sophisticated fragrance for the car. Fragrance progression very linear.
Lasting power: lasts about 5 hours on my skin. Quite decent for a fragrance in this price range. And for me, for example, with a significantly better performance than a Bleu de Chanel edp.
Sillage: radiates well and creates a decent cloud of fragrance in the first few hours. Also smells better in the air than close to the skin.
Bottle: I find the bottle with the Y quite chic, but the black plastic lid looks cheap.
Value for money: if you like the fragrance itself, you get a decent fragrance for your money that is suitable as an everyday fragrance. As I mentioned, I see it being more popular with younger people.

Compliment getter
I used 2 bottles last year and the third is already well opened.
For me, it's an absolutely perfect summer fragrance that can also be worn at higher temperatures. In my opinion, it's ideal for warm summer evenings on vacation and long party nights at festivals or in open air clubs like Ushuaïa in Ibiza.
I've never received so many compliments and positive feedback on a fragrance in such a short space of time as I have with this one. It's really crazy in places. Women love this fragrance. But I love it too and feel like I'm on a beautiful vacation every time I put it on.
Unfortunately, it was sold out at Dua for a long time and it went quickly and expensively at the souk.
My best friend owns the original from Chanel, which is almost 1:1 identical, but has really miserable staying power in direct comparison.
Fragrance: I'm not a fragrance expert. To me, it smells like a creamy lemon. Pleasantly fresh and a nice sweetness to it. I can also smell the tonka bean. There are minor variations depending on when the bottle is from. My first and oldest Dua was more just citrusy fresh and had a shower gel vibe, the second and third bottles were much creamier and for me better in scent and closer to the original.
Longevity: On my skin, it is quickly gone, but that is the case with many fragrances. On clothes it lasts for days and only goes away with washing. It is far superior to the original in terms of performance.
Sillage: This fragrance creates an incredible cloud of fragrance and smells even better in the air than close to the skin. With 2 sprays on the neck and 3 on the shirt, you will be noticed even 2 meters away and even in crowded clubs you will leave a cloud behind you. Therefore an ideal club fragrance for me.
Bottle: Typical Dua trash bottle, pretty cheap and ugly. The new bottles have a wooden cap, which doesn't make it any better. But it's the content that counts and it's great.
Value for money: For me, the better fragrance than the original from Chanel. I wish the original with a nice bottle would perform like this. If it is available from Dua, it is probably even more expensive than the original with shipping and customs duty on the ml. However, it's actually better in terms of price/performance purely in terms of what you get as a fragrance, which is why it's worth it to me.

Perfection
I can still remember the first time I smelled this wonderful fragrance in a perfumery.
The nice sales assistant had sprayed both Layton and its brother Layton Exclusive onto a test strip. The Exclusive is also a fantastic fragrance, but I couldn't put the test strip with the normal Layton out of my hand for the whole car journey home. It smelled like a delicious, sweet apple to me and completely different to anything I had smelled before.
It was immediately clear to me that I had to have this fragrance and so 3 days later I went to the perfumery and bought my first "expensive" fragrance.
I could hardly wait to open the packaging and spray on the fragrance, only to be a little disillusioned.
The fragrance still smelled great, but after a short time I had the feeling that I could hardly smell it or could only smell it close to my skin. I asked my girlfriend at the time and other people if they could still smell the fragrance after about 3-4 hours and they also hardly noticed it at first.
After about 2 months, however, the fragrance had matured well and had become much more long-lasting, and it had also developed a pleasant sweetness.
Almost 2 years after I bought it, the fragrance has a strong longevity and sillage and I still love it like the first day.
I wear it for all occasions and often in everyday life at university. For me, it is perfect to wear up to temperatures just above 20 degrees, after that it becomes too sweet for me, which is why it has a break in summer. Otherwise, it's perfect for me to wear at any time of year and for any occasion. I often layer it with Molecules 01, which in my opinion gives it an additional fresh component, especially at the beginning.
Compliments are inevitable with this fragrance. I am often asked about this fragrance and what a great perfume it is, by both men and women.
Fragrance: I am not a fragrance expert. To me, it smells like a sweet, delicious apple, with vanilla and a pleasant fresh note at the beginning. It becomes a little heavier with longer wear.
Shelf life: Since it has matured, the shelf life is strong. I can still smell it after 5 sprays at 8 in the morning and 6 in the evening. Sometimes I've had situations where I didn't smell it myself after hours, but was told by people that my perfume smelled good.
Sillage: The first 3 hours it radiates enormously, after that it becomes a little weaker. Nevertheless, people around me still seem to notice it well afterwards.
Bottle: Heavy and elegant, the only thing that bothers me is the fact that you can't see the fill level.
Value for money: The price for the quality is absolutely justified and I would buy it again in a heartbeat when it's empty. I paid €175 at the time and have been enjoying the fragrance for 2 years now, which is a good deal in my eyes.
An absolute buy recommendation from me!
