The review

Worth a try. That is where Leyden lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Layton.

Maison Alhambra 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.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: apple, bergamot and mandarin up top, lavender, geranium and violet in the middle, vanilla, guaiac wood and cardamom underneath — the shape of Parfums de Marly Layton.

Top

  • apple
  • bergamot
  • mandarin

Heart

  • lavender
  • geranium
  • violet

Base

  • vanilla
  • guaiac wood
  • cardamom
For the one who lingers in memory. Crisp apple and bergamot melt into spiced vanilla and guaiac — sweet, warm, unforgettable.
