My Full Fragrance Review:
Let’s face it, not every perfume that gets the limelight is worth the hype, but Layton by Parfums de Marly is a clear exception to the rule. When it comes to crafting sweet, opulent winter fragrances, Parfums de Marly is at the top of their game. So, in this review, we’ll dissect why Layton is a fragrance that more than justifies its acclaim.
Quick Facts:
- Scent Profile: oriental, sweet, fruity
- Season: winter
- Longevity: long-lasting
- Occasion: versatile
- Price: $$$
Smell:
I’m not exaggerating when I say that Parfums de Marly knows their way around a bottle. With Layton, what hits your olfactory senses first is a delectable aroma of apple, firmly seated on a sweet and delicious vanilla base. Imagine biting into a warm apple strudel—only, it doesn’t veer into a gourmand territory. And just when you think it’s all about that sugary sweetness, some light, almost menthol-like notes waltz in to make the fragrance surprisingly light and wearable.
What really caught my attention is the youthful vibe Layton exudes. This is the scent of the young man who never misses a birthday party or a wedding. Now, as delicious as this perfume is, it’s a bit heavy for hot summer days. Stick to wearing it in winter, maybe autumn and spring. My opinion? It’s a universal scent for almost any situation. Whether it’s the office, a date, or even a nightclub, Layton fits the bill—just modulate your sprays, and you’re good to go.
Longevity:
So, how does Layton fare in the longevity department? In a word, brilliantly. This is a powerful fragrance that casts a pleasant scent bubble around you, lingering long enough so you won’t have to fuss about reapplying. To get the most out of it, adapt the number of sprays to your setting: about three for work, five for casual outings, and if you’re planning a night out, go ahead and dial it up to seven.

Final Thoughts:
To sum it up, Layton is among the crème de la crème of winter fragrances, especially for the younger crowd. It’s a versatile pick suitable for a range of situations—from work to dates to hitting the town. Pair all this with its commendable longevity, and you’ve got yourself near-perfect perfume.
However, if you find Layton a bit too sweet or a little heavy on the pocket, consider these alternatives: Layton Exclusif, also from Parfums de Marly, offers a more mature and less saccharine experience. Détour Noir is an affordable option under $50, though it doesn’t quite capture Layton’s magic. Finally, there’s Chanel – Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême, another youthful and versatile fragrance worth trying.
So, there you have it, my comprehensive review and opinion on Layton by Parfums de Marly. Whether you’re new to fragrances or a seasoned aficionado, this is one scent that should be on your radar.
