The review
On paper, Royal Bleu is a reasonable bet if you want Layton Exclusif for less.
Orientica sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Layton Exclusif's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Orientica 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 cardamom, nutmeg and saffron, turns to geranium, rose and jasmine, and settles into oud, leather and patchouli. That is the brief Royal Bleu is working from.
Top
- cardamom
- nutmeg
- saffron
Heart
- geranium
- rose
- jasmine
Base
- oud
- leather
- patchouli
Layton's DNA turned darker and spicier with cardamom, oud and leather for the colder months.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
