The review
On paper, Superlative is a reasonable bet if you want Layton Exclusif for less.
Perfume Parlour 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.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $159 per 100ml it costs 46% less than Layton Exclusif — the 3rd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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 Superlative is working from.

- cardamom

Layton's DNA turned darker and spicier with cardamom, oud and leather for the colder months.
