MUST KNOW: Layton I Parfums de Marly 

Nice video! I agree with all your points except for number 3. Layton is very popular and hyped in the fragrance community but that is such a small percentage of the world. If you wear Layton I really don't think you have to worry about too many other people having ever heard of it or wearing it. Just my opinion. Keep up the great work! I've been liking your channel!

This is an amazing fragrance - one of my favorites! Unfortunately it's more of a winter frag for me.......so I'll have to wait till it gets cool again :)

I was about to sell this one because it wasn’t really my cup of tea. I sprayed some on my pillow to see how long it would last and just wow! This stuff smells really good as it dries down.

I'm from a tropical country and as much as I like how it smells, it does tend to be offensive to some when it's hot. It can be worn when you are in an airconditioned room like in the office but I have to spray lightly otherwise it might be too much for others to smell constantly.

I noticed calm cinnamon nuance in Layton. I don't think the scent is very simple, it is extremely well blended. Phenomenal perfumery in my opinion.

Layton was my first Niche (I also bought it blind based on all the hype on RU-vid like you mentioned) however, I am glad I got it, it smells amazing

I blind bought 4.2oz Layton was very pleased with the purchase. :):)

Layton was my scent of the day yesterday, I'm such a huge fan of the cardamom and vanilla in this fragrance

This video would have been helpful before I bought Layton. Fun fact, I bought it about a year ago without knowing how it smelled and I was absolutely pleased with the scent. A very risky blind buy but I loved it from day one 10/10 fragrance IMO

You can get 125ml for about £145 in the uk. By no means cheap but not ridiculous. Although if you're comparing it to designers then yeah it's pricey. I think it is very popular in fragcomm and with enthusiasts. But I've never met a single person through my work or personal life that wore it 👍🏻

Just bought this today. INCREDIBLE

I have Layton exclusif, you can't even think of applying it in summer. Good fragrance for Winter but nothing off the charts for me..

Such a gorgeous blonde perfume goddess who has the best knowledge of perfumes on youtube imho

I love Layton. I want Layton exclusif in my collection next.

The most precise and concise review of Layton I’ve watched. Good job! 🥂

How does someone get to this britannica level knowledge, speak like a lullaby n then go on to be this ethereal beauty. The top designers should make you their mascot....Super review. Thanks

Layton was my full knowingly step into the niche fragrances world and collecting niche fragrances. So Layton has a special place for me. In the meantime I have get some fragrances from Parfums de Marly and I like Layton very much, but it is not my number one from the brand, I like Herod, Carlisle und Layton Exclusif more. Parfums de Marly ist my favorite niche brand, but Amouage is winning ground, the so called "Blue Beast" Amouage Interlude Man (oman edition) is truly sensational...

One of my favorite creations hands down. So delicious. A stand out in my arsenal, on par with Herod.

I like this series! Hoping for more MUST KNOW episodes in the future. (Gypsy Water, Tam Dao, African Leather, so many options!)

Great Video. nobody wears layton. you guys in the community know Layton. I will tell you in south FL. Its all about the designer fragrances Eros, sauvage etc. ( whatever smells good to girls and gets compliments) Secondly when I wear cologone esp EDTs they never last on my skin for more than 2 hours. When I wore layton outside in the heat It lasted a very long time. I got a lot of compliments because I think it projected more on MY skin.

I don't understand, why so many people think that Layton is to sweet, especially for the summer. I think the florals and the fresh notes are very strong and balance the fragrance. But you made a great review. Thumbs up :)

Nice review. Just got a bottle, my first entry into niche fragrances and I love it. Subscribed

I agree, it's a bit too sweet for warm weather, its not an everyday fragrance, definately not a blind buy (not even close) its an acquired taste so try it first. It may take me some time to get to like it as I prefer fresh citrus bleu type scents. like acquia de gio absolu, D&G light blue, Chanel bleu etc.

I bought a tester (w/ cap) of Layton as my first niche fragrance. Love it.

Layton was a passionate love at first sniff for me and it's also my lucky scent that brings me luck.

Not sure why but every time I put this on I get a strong initial blast of blueberries… ? Blueberry geranium and cardamom are the three notes that stand out the most to me in this fragrance… Amazing compliment factor though!👌🏻

Omg I love how you pronounce the names in French

Nice breakdown of Layton ! Because PDM Layton is so ubiquitous, I rather enjoy Layton Exclusif (extrait) as an alternative. Although better for cooler/colder weather, I really love, love, love it ! ( I even have a backup Bottle ) Thanks as always for sharing . . .

I think Layton Exclusif is better than the original Layton.

Solid breakdown. Good video, well described👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I think there is no other fragance that can get so many universal compliments. Can you think of something that rivals?

I have Layton and I love it.

Josephine, great review of Layton. It is such a good smelling fragrance with a mass appealing DNA with great performance. You can find it online from discounters at a decent price.

yes i live in Egypt and it was too hot so i try it at summer and i don't like it have spicy & sweet notes!! i will try it again at winter

It’s hyped because it’s good , enough said !

Salut Justine, Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne. Bravo pour ton travail. J'adore Layton. Tellement polyvalent et addictif. J'ai récemment découvert Triumph of Bacchus d'Argos avec la même Vibe.

All I smell is a cube of caramel - how much does it cost??

Can Layton be worn also when it’s a bit warmer outside ? Or should I just wear it for autumn and winter times ?

This video is a literally all you need to know about Layton, summed up perfectly.

It's overly saccharine in high heat. But perfect for all other situations

Probably a silly question but I've watched you some and your French accent sounds exquisite! Are you French Josephine? 😊 Cheers

i blind bought it. I have about 45 fragrances. it's my least favorite. also most expensive by far. tried to sell it once but i'm not computer savvy . at least 95% percent full.

This is actually my favorite scent. 😊

I do have that "problem" when choosing a fragance. I don't like smelling like everyone else, so I try to avoid mainstream fragances. Parfums de Marley is very tempting, but to be honest, when smelling them the first time I wasn't amazed. Any advice on a not so hyped fragance, yet a good recommendation? I really like the proper reviews from this channel

I always gotta laugh when they say everyone will be wearing this, at nearly $400 a bottle for 75ml here in Australia, I can guarantee you'll almost NEVER smell this on anyone else unless you're rich going to rich parties, lol.

Hi Jus, don’t forget to mention performance please! We love you

Hi Josephine! Would you say it’s too masculine for a lady? ❤

I like your correct pronunciations

Just bought a bottle of Layton about 10 mins ago. before watching this review, first pdm purchase.!!

I see so many fragrances seem to be suited to cooler weather

I have Herod, Charisle n Layton. I find that it doesn't works on me. In terms of its projection wise, hardly i get to enjoy it. Last less than 30 min. I'm not sure is it because its reformulated or I have a nose blind. Anyway I wear it on d evening to avoid from hot weather.

Layton, Mr Sam, oud satin mood. Which is the best for a teenager?

thanks for this video! LOVE LAYTON

We should start saying you won’t smell unique within the fragrance community. I wear Layton all the time and I’m literally the only person in the room wearing it. Everyone else is wearing cheap cologne from Burlington and other department stores. Not to mention the price point, very few people will spend 300$+ to smell nice hence the name “niche” fragrance.

British, French, American, Scandinavian, Canadian, eastern European, did i miss out any accents in this video?, P. S Layton is an absolute monster.

Love the opening, dislike the drydown... Godolphin is still my favourite from the unisex line.

First video i see from you, easy subscribe! :)

Amazing video! I have Layton and Percival, which would you recommend for my 3rd PDM fragrance ?

Coucou Justine, j’ai acheté ce parfum il y a 2 jours à Nordstrom ici à San Diego, CA et ton opinion is on point. Je suis entrain de developer ma collection of “amazing niche perfumes” Quel autre superbe parfum conseillerais-tu? Merci beaucoup and keep up the good work.

Guys, tell me a good European store site. where can you buy original perfume with delivery to Russia?

Mmm Layton ♥️😍 Do you prefer the exclusif or not?

Save your money and get Guerlain Mon Guerlain EdP Intense. Its better than Layton, much smoother, and the quality of vanilla is better. Mon Guerlain Intense is also a BEAST mode scent, while recent Layton batches are weak

So amazing and eloquent lady with such nice Pronounced french words. Congratulations 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹

got this 2 years ago and it doesnt really do much on me its is almost same like boss bottle intense ...just labeled niche dats it🤪🤫🤭

Don’t forget to mention the reformulation is not a good purchase and weak projection ?

Im Looknig for a good winter fragrance which one do you reccommend of the following Layton, Layton Exclusif, Or M. Micallef DesirToxic?

It's the winter version of Bleu de Chanel

I really love LAYTON! But i dont know why it doesn't work well on me?? 😭

Performance? Great review though! I’ve been holding out on this one but will definitely add it to my collection. Next paycheck cuz’ I just picked up Piano Santal from your recommendation and it hasn’t arrived yet.😕

I’m so early on this vid too! I have decided I am not a fan of PdM. I am forcing myself to enjoy Delina since I blind bought it but I find Meliora icky, Safanad is nice but simple orange blossom smell- not a composition really, Darcy ick,etc. But I still want to sample Layton and Pegasus and the guys’ ones. Maybe I will like those?

I agree with every your word 👌🏻 my top3 parfum. Its must have for every collector

Hi Rose, I got it couple of samples from Hervey Nickols when I purchased Creed Aventus but I did not try it, I thought it was for women hahaha then just I sprayed OMG, so nice! It's okay too cold at home quarantine.

Tbh, PdM is montale/mancera level brand. It shouldn't cost that much. Initio is slightly better, but they seem to have the same palette of aroma chemicals.

Dua's version ('Exclusif' something or other) is just as good and about a fifth of the price.

What’s ur personal taste rate for this one 1-5 Any better alternative that U really love ,also fits alluring, easy to like, versatile, hot season is not too much purpose Tks J Cheers

Stop saying it’s masculine! It’s unisex!

Does anyone get a vapor rub kind of scent from this thing? I’m trying to see pasted that but that’s all I can smell

Would you wear it on yourself as a woman?

Do you know anything about the reformulation of Layton? Is it true that it wont last and project as heavy? I mean it's like 4 years old, why would they reformulate it? I really wanna buy it, but I'm a bit concerned.

Although it is very good I've had a lot of younger women tell me it kinda smelled like an older man and I've got a 259+ bottle collection and it is unique but strictly cold weather only ....jus de 🌹 too pretty to watch omg distracted 😉🙏lol great reviews 👌

I also own this fragrance. It's very likeable with good sillage. Maybe my close second behind Dior Homme Intense 😉

This is a summer / clubbing / date frag

I find it nauseating due to the heavy caramel note. Really dislike it.

Just got this as a blind buy...what she means to say is it smells like someone mixed Brute and Stetson together... not a fan

Oh wow, never been this early on a new vid! Currently wearing Layton. :)

Are there musk and amber in Layton ?

Idk but on my skin performance is pretty weak

Layton vs Layton Exclusive

For me layton does not work well in winter, on my skin it projects alot of fresh apple and vanilla. I prefere Herod or Tobacco Vanille in winter and layton in spring, summer evening and fall. In Sweden the summer is not so warm and winter is super cold so fresh apple in super cold winter smells realy off :)

I own both: Layton and Boss Bottled Intense EDP, nothing similar between the scents. I have no idea, that if a scent is based on apple, this is a Boss Bottled version, also if a scent is based on pineapple - it is a Creed's Avenus clone. Layton is a BANGER!

I received today sample n its smell very strong n smell like vicks my sister said might its fake

Hi Beautiful. I just wanna know PDM Layton New Batches 2022 82 percent volume. Still have the beast mode performance. Still the new batches are good enough to get a compliment. Please let me know? ❤

This is purely masculine, right? Or is it unisex?

you gained my respect, the fact that you spent time to learn how to pronounce it is a huge thing for me...

can you say maison francis kurkdjian again? lol ysl y edp, reflection man or layton which is better for office?

Jus sprayed it on because of you

Layton or herod for winter ?

Tu prendrais le normal ou plutôt l'exclusif?

A lot of people wouldn’t be buying this cause this thing cost around £200’ Ermm

Layton is actually a very affordable niche frag tbh
