About Layton Royal Essence

Layton Royal Essence by Parfums De Marly is a distinguished fragrance launched in 2016, crafted to embody elegance and regal allure. Similar to the lovely horse breeds that inspired the entire Parfums De Marly collection, this scent is the quintessence of the elegance and sophistication of the French court of the 18th century. A composition of spices and florals, Layton Royal Essence Cologne portrays a subtle air of royalty, which is suitable clothing only for the modern gentleman.

Fragrance Family:

Oriental Floral

Scent Type:

Spicy, Floral, Woody

Notes:

The luxurious Layton Royal Essence Cologne opens with an invigorating burst of bergamot, mandarin, and crisp apple, setting a vibrant and refreshing tone. The combination of lemon, and orange, and the smell of fresh apple brings a fresh and inspiring touch to the scent. The sophisticated mix of the floral smell of geranium and lavender, and the spicy touch of jasmine makes an attractive core of the fragrance. The warm and well-suited hedonic final of the base notes that consist of vanilla, cardamom, sandalwood, and pepper, besides the add-on complexity of them, certify a long-lasting impact.

Suggested Use

To make the most of Layton Royal Essence Cologne's sophisticated aroma, apply to pulse points such as the neck, wrists, and behind the ears. For an enhanced experience, spray on warm, moisturized skin after a shower, as this will help in diffusing the fragrance more effectively throughout the day.

Hey everybody, Matt here. And today I'm reviewing Layton Royal Essence by Parfums de Marly, a men's fragrance inspired by the court at Versailles under King Louie the 15th, which was known as the perfumed court. It's composed of top notes of citrus, lavender, and apple; heart notes of violet, geranium, and jasmine; and base notes of vanilla, patchouli, guaiacwood, cardamom, pepper, and sandalwood. I think that this makes it a great scent for early spring, especially if you're interested in masculine florals. All right, that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this review. And please don't forget to follow FragranceX on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter. And also subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Is Layton for summer or winter?

Layton Royal Essence is an incredibly versatile fragrance that can be worn year-round. Nonetheless, its warm notes and spices make it particularly wearable in the fall and winter seasons. With the vanilla and spices sometimes being overwhelmed but very nicely balanced with the airy coldness, Layton Royal Essence creates a very warm, comforting, and enveloping scent during the colder months.

Why are Parfums De Marly fragrances so expensive?

Parfums De Marly fragrances, including Layton Royal Essence, are priced higher due to their use of premium, high-quality ingredients and the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating their complex scents.

However, its substantial presence definitely causes a striking effect on everyone who comes across it.

This is a MUST HAVE in a collection

This is a must have if you are a frag head, it is a compliment getter from both men and women. I some what gambled to risk it and blind bought it but man was it worth the penny. It's a jovial frag on it's own. Especially in my country where the weather is warm and humid, I tend to have it on for 3

sprays max and already it projects for 3hrs+. I would love to get another but the price does pack a punch. There is a saying, great things does not come cheap and cheap things aren't that great. Nevertheless it is a love at first sight (well smell to be truthful) for me as the bottle itself looks exquisite, especially it's in a matte blue finish. The cap, well with that, you could stop a burglar from occurring cause holy smokes that head is heavy I gotta admit. Like I said, it is a compliment getter if you sprayed the right amount. If you push it further than a couple of sprays, it would guillotine a person's head as it does projects quite hard.

Blind Buy. I do like it.

Blind Buy and I like it. Heard so much about Parfums De Marly so I had to blind buy as all the testers on websites were out of this particular "Layton". I would wear it to anywhere except to the office. Its very long lasting. I prefer my fragrances to be able to be smelled by myself throughout
...
the day. It's nice if others can smell it too but if I can't even smell it while I'm wearing one, then what's the point? You can tell the ingredients are very expensive. I will have to try the others that house of Marly has to offer. Yummy. Enjoy.

Well-blended

I have read and watched a lot of reviews about this perfume and blind bought it in FragranceX. I have great trust in getting authentic perfumes in FragranceX. Layton of Parfum de Marly is fresh and fruity enough to wear in warm weather, but at the same time, warm and spicy to wear in the colder months. It is a polarizing fragrance, some may not like it, but I've come to enjoy and appreciate such well-blended scent.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Top notch fragrance

Parfums de Marly Layton is the perfect balance of fruity smells melded with sweet, warm, vanilla essence. It combines a crisp summer fragrance with the warmth and earthiness of a winter fragrance. It somehow manages to straddle the point where these types of fragrances meet and executes it perfectly. It's an amazing scent that can work for an occasion and any season. A great daily wear or something to spray on only for special occasions. I feel the performance could be better as it becomes a skin scent after only a couple of hours.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Well balanced and amazing

This is a very popular fragrance and I can see why. Parfums de Marly managed to perfectly balance a sweet, rich scent with a fruity, fresh scent. It's amazing how well-blended and balanced this fragrance is. It can be a signature scent, formal or for warm or cold weather. An amazing fragrance, but with surprisingly limited sillage and lasting power. That's my one main complaint is the lasting power. Other than that an amazing fragrance.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I would not buy this one again

Blind buy for me, I wanted to like this one. It's very different from any other scent that i own. It reminds me of a sweet cinnamon with hint of fruity vibe. Alot going on with this scent. I would say its best suited for winter because of how powerful and the warm tone it brings. I would give it a 6/10. My girlfriend hated it. My best friend hated it as well.

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Does not last long! Not worth it!

Does not last long! Bath and body works lotion last longer. I love the smell but for the price? Not too sure, I've had a sample and that lasted 12 hours plus easily! But now that I pulled the trigger and have the full bottle, it's very disappointing. Very dissatisfied and unfortunately I can not recommend this or even the site. Trust me I want to say good things but hopefully it will help someone else.

Worthy of the hype

Layton gets a ton of hype in the fragrance community and for good reason. Really easy to wear and has a ton of notes to it. It lasts all day on my skin and will stay on clothes for days. If I am going to give anything a negative it would be the presentation. The bottle and cap are nice but at over $300 retail for 125ml I would expect a nicer box presentation. That ding is insignificant in the grand scheme I would say the value is still there.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

A must for any man's collection

Smells amazing from the first spray until hours later. It's not overpowering. You'll get compliments every time you wear it as long as you don't over spray it. I think 3 sprays max is the key. You can wear this for any occasion, but because of the price, I wouldn't suggest wearing it as an every day smell. I'd keep it for any occasion you want to smell and feel like French Royalty lol.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Fantastic and long lasting scent but.....

Overall the fragance has a great smell and it last about 8 hours. The only reason I would not recomment buying this fragance is that there is no way to validate the Lot code at the bottom of the bottle. I tried to verify if this is an original fragance but I didn't succed eventhough I've heard that fragancex is a valid website.

No, I would not recommend to a friend.
