Warmly underlaid, floral-fruity fragrance
Actually, I had to leave only a short statement, but somehow I have it with 80 characters not even begin to be able to describe the fragrance reasonably. Therefore, I try in the following the fragrance also neatly categorically divide in the description.
Originally, I have this in addition to the fragrance "Noble VII - Rock Rose" by Clive Christian zugelegt, because this is supposed to be inspired by this. This is also maximum of it only inspired and no fragrance twin. For this, the two fragrances are too different. In the Drydown is thereby most likely to find a little similarity between the fragrances.
Rock & Rolla with Roses starts with a load of fruity, floral notes. At the same time, it also has something warm, almost slightly sultry for me right off the bat. Notes like bergamot, neroli and clary sage make the amber and labdanum freshen up a bit, so it's not too warm overall. Still, I wouldn't call it fresh. The scent doesn't go through much development on my skin. The floral, fruity notes pull back a bit, so the warm notes come out a bit more.
The note combination actually gives the impression as if one would perceive a sweetly underlaid, somewhat artificial rose in the fragrance, although no rose notes are specified.
Overall, the fragrance fits almost every season. However, in the summer and generally in rather very warm temperatures, this one is too sultry. Unlike Rock Rose by Clive Christian, this one is rather unisex with more feminine tendencies, which is why I also let it go straight to the souk after two tests.

"Controversially rated scent" is a good word for it
About a year ago I put this fragrance on my "Test it soon" list and finally decided to add it to my shopping cart with my current sample order. I tested it 3 times; on the paper strip, on my forearm and on my sister's forearm :D (don't worry, she wanted to test it on her skin, although she had smelled the scent on the test strip before)
I must admit, I find it extremely difficult to judge this fragrance. On the one hand, I can actually get something out of it and on the other hand my gag reflex is activated when I smell it. I have tested it consciously without looking at the pyramid of scents before to be as unbiased as possible when determining the scent.
For me it smelled relatively fresh in the beginning, something like detergent freshness / cotton fresh. After a few minutes it immediately became saltier and metallic. Estimated after about 10-15 minutes I could taste the metallic notes in my whole mouth. And from then on it actually smelled strongly like blood to me. Then there were also creamy notes and the smell of milk, so it smelled fresh, creamy, milky, salty, flowery and metallic at the same time. From then on my gag reflex was extremely triggered.
In retrospect I can only say that it was definitely a fragrance "experience", which I had not had before - but I could have easily done without it ;) But I would have imagined it to be much worse by the previous comments. Meanwhile I think it's the combination of the scents that makes me a little bit disgusted, at least for me. If the gag reflex would not be triggered, I would find it quite acceptable. Unfortunately this makes it quite difficult for me to judge the scent properly. But after my test I can understand why some people find it disgusting and why some people like it.

Mainstream niche or niche mainstream?
Although we are actually approaching summer bit by bit, the cool weather of the last few days has led me to add a fragrance that is not suitable for summer.
This is the first time that I blindly ordered a niche fragrance just on the basis of the descriptions and only let the descriptions here on parfumo "convince" me. Normally, blind purchases are only possible for inexpensive fragrances, because a bad purchase does not hurt that much. It is the first time that a blind purchase went so well for me :D
I can only say about the fragrance, as my title already suggests: Layton is a fragrance that is made for the mainstream. When I look at the numerous comments and statements, some have associations with fragrances like Boss Bottled and 1 Million. I wouldn't say that in general. Layton does have an apple strudel vibe like Boss Bottled, for example, but I find it quite different. This scent doesn't reinvent the wheel and yet I find it unique. It smells like a mix of popular fragrance DNAs from the mainstream and has niche quality
In the beginning the scent is very sweet and smells sweet-spicy of apple and vanilla. In the course of time the sweetness decreases a bit and becomes woody towards the base. This smells very pleasant and noble to me. I don't know exactly how the fragrance does it, but it has something that makes it look really sexy! But the fragrance is definitely unisex for me.
The durability of the fragrance is very good. Normally even strong fragrances don't last too long on my skin. That's why I'm positively surprised about the durability: 10+ h and the sillage is pretty decent.
Layton, like mainstream fragrances, aims more to appeal to the masses. If you're looking for niche quality, this is the fragrance for you

Pioneers into the depths of the fragrance world...
...is the appropriate title for my commentary. If you still know my comments from about 6 years ago, you know that my first contact with the world of fragrances was through the fragrance Bruno Banani Man. However, my personal pioneer in the mid- to high-priced fragrances in the designer area was Boss Bottled EDT. Therefore I have chosen this one, to use it as a pathfinder back to our beautiful parfumo forum.
I have to admit that the entry into the forum at that time as a student has moved me to spend my little money usable for my hobby without exception constantly on new fragrances. Since it almost led to the fact that I had to attend weekly meetings of the anonymous "parfumoholics" to get my compulsive collecting under control, I decided to keep some distance to parfumo. Over the years I have almost completely lost contact with my passion for fragrance. But when I found out about a year ago that a good friend of mine likes to collect scents even for his life, the fire was started again - only this time in a controlled way (hopefully :D).
To the EDT of Boss Bottled I can only say the following words:
Even if many people today label it as 08/15, it was by no means so when it first appeared. Boss Bottled has set a trend with its spicy-woody apple-cinnamon scent and still has, in my opinion, a very high recognition value.
As soon as a fragrance becomes known and successful, its DNA is at least partially used in other fragrances, both by the own company to continue on the wave of success with further flankers and by other companies that would like to profit from the success of a fragrance DNA. In the same way, Chanel, for example, with its fragrance Bleu de Chanel (EDT), has started a wave for the still current, countless "blue" fragrances, which admittedly now also annoy me to some extent.
In all this time, however, I have not yet gotten tired of the smell of Boss Bottled and hopefully never will. At the moment, however, I prefer the EDP version of Boss Bottled Intense, because the EDT has unfortunately lost some of its power and durability in the current formulation. For me personally, the Boss Bottled DNA is an extremely beautiful one - even if it's not quite enough for 10 points. However, if one could also evaluate the points influence and popularity of a fragrance, it would get an even 10!
Finally, I hope that this comment will ensure my lasting comeback in our community and wish you all a nice weekend!
