The review

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

Oil Perfumery 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 $125 per 100ml it costs 61% less than Layton — the 14th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.
