Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Stallion lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Layton.

ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Layton's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $82 per 100ml it costs 74% less than Layton — the 8th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.
