Layton by Parfums de Marly
Launch Year: 2016
Perfumer: Hamid Merati-Kashani
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
Layton opens with a vibrant blend of bergamot, lavender, and crisp green apple, immediately introducing a refined freshness. The heart unfolds with floral notes of violet, jasmine, and geranium, adding elegance and balance. As it dries down, rich base notes of vanilla, cardamom, sandalwood, guaiac wood, and patchouli emerge, delivering a warm, sweet-spicy finish. Hints of pink pepper and caramel-like undertones round out the composition, creating a luxurious and magnetic scent profile.
Performance:
Layton is known for its strong performance. Longevity typically ranges from 8 to 12 hours, with some batches lasting even longer on clothing. Projection is prominent in the first few hours, radiating confidently before settling into a moderate, lasting trail. It is often described as a “beast mode” fragrance due to its bold and persistent sillage.
Ideal For:
Best suited for fall, winter, and cooler spring days, Layton thrives in evening wear, formal settings, and date nights. Its blend of warmth and sophistication makes it an ideal choice for someone looking to make a strong, refined impression.
