Layton Exclusif

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Parfums de Marly Layton Exclusif

Layton Exclusif is the intense, gourmand leaning version of Layton, and our version keeps that depth: an almond and coffee opening, a rich floral heart, and a warm vanilla base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Parfums de Marly released Layton Exclusif as a more concentrated, dressed up sibling to the much loved Layton, adding coffee and almond for a warmer, more decadent feel.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the almond and coffee rich up top, let rose and jasmine soften the middle, and build a deep vanilla and tonka base for real staying power.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a niche eau de parfum sold at high niche pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves Layton and wants the deeper, more indulgent version for evenings and cold weather.

Notes

Top notes: Bergamot, Almond, Coffee

Heart notes: Rose, Jasmine

Base notes: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Cinnamon

How it Smells

It opens warm and moreish, with almond and coffee giving a rich, slightly sweet start over a touch of bergamot.

The heart brings rose and jasmine, softening the richness with a smooth floral layer.

The base is deep and cosy, with vanilla, tonka bean and a hint of cinnamon giving a long, comforting finish.

Common Questions

How close is it to Parfums de Marly Layton Exclusif?

It stays close to the rich, boozy, gourmand character of the original. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

How can it cost so much less than Parfums de Marly Layton Exclusif?

Most of the price of a niche fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Parfums de Marly Layton Exclusif?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It leans masculine but is easy to wear either way, and is made for evenings, special occasions and cold weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
