Layton is an EDP and projects GREAT for the first 3 to 4 hours (but not overpowering), then gets more subtle and lingers around for 8 to 10 plus hours.

Now, this is more suited for the mature 20-up crowd and best worn in the cooler weather: fall/winter (cool spring nights). Do not wear this in the high summer heat as things will get messy. Dressed-up Dressed-down Kalan is an EDP and pushes out for the first 2–3 hours (so be careful with the sprayer), then sits closer to the skin for about 7–10 plus hours.

Now, it’s your turn…

Herod opens up with a blast of rich sweet pipe tobacco mixed with warm spicy cinnamon sitting on a smoky vanilla base.

It has a rich dark warmness and it smells incredibly luxurious. People will want to know what you’re wearing. This is an EDP and projects just more than an arm’s length for the first few hours, then sits close to the skin for about 7 to 10 plus hours. This gives you a beautiful warm sweet smoky spicy candied caramel apple vibe… And it smells AMAZING. It’s… Dark, Rich, Warm & Luxurious And as it dries down… the fragrance starts to smooth out and you get a beautiful sweet cherry tobacco vibe mixed with the creamy smoky vanilla. More suited for the mature 20-up crowd and best worn in the cooler weather: fall/winter (VERY cool spring nights).More suited for the mature 20-up crowd. Dressed up, dressed down, work, casual, dates, special occasions, nights out. PdM draw inspiration from the 18th century when perfume was at its pinnacle and pay tribute to King Louis XV of France, who was passionate about horses and perfumes.

Layton Exclusif opens up with a bergamot and orange citrus combo with a hint of almond sweetness (reminiscent of the original Layton minus the apple). Sedley was created by world renowned master perfumer Olivier Cresp – the man behind such famous scents as: Versace Man Eau Fraiche, Mugler Alien, D&G Light Blue Pour Femme, to name but a few! So you’re in good hands. Anyway…Dressed up, dressed down, special occasions, dates, nights out, clubbing (this is where it shines).

This can be seen in the brands name and the use of the Chevaux de Marly ( the Marly horses) as their logo. Also, their fragrances are named after various horse breeds. First impression: The Exclusif starts much fresher, more citric and with more cardamom than its predecessor, although the latter does not seem as dense or somehow more transparent. Thereby the Pegasus E. has the same "dirty" chord as the Layton Exclusif before. It somehow feels as if it was simply taken over 1:1. This changes the whole character of the original, which itself came out very clean with its jasmine note. But both lavender are cheerful, and the PdM-typical amber pudding vanilla base is very similar. Would have expected more creativity here.It’s perfectly blended and smooth. And this mix of patchouli, vanilla and spices gives you a beautiful dark chocolatey vibe. As I said earlier, this is an enriched, darker and more complex oriental version of Layton (it’s less sweet and more woody). Think: Layton’s older mature brother. 🙂 By the way, if you enjoy coffee notes in scents, then don’t miss our best coffee colognes post. Rich, Dark, Warm & Luxurious Just as the name indicates, Layton Exclusif is a more exclusive (and expensive) version of Layton– that takes the fragrance in another direction. In a nutshell, this is a mass-appealing, high-quality fresh, spicy woody scent… Which is more than likely to bag you some nice compliments. And a LOT of them.
