The review
On paper, Notorious is a reasonable bet if you want Layton for less.
Oakcha 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.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oakcha 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
The original opens on apple, bergamot and mandarin, turns to lavender, geranium and violet, and settles into vanilla, guaiac wood and cardamom. That is the brief Notorious is working from.
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.
