The review

Layton scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Layton.

Palermo Perfumes 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 $23 it costs 94% less than Layton.

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 Palermo Perfumes 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

Parfums de Marly Layton is apple, bergamot and mandarin at first, lavender, geranium and violet at its heart and vanilla, guaiac wood and cardamom at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
