Parfums de Marly Layton Eau de Parfum 125ml (4.2 fl. oz.) is a refined men’s fragrance that blends crisp apple and bergamot with aromatic lavender, warm vanilla, patchouli, woods, and praline. Parfums de Marly classifies Layton as a Fougère Ambery Fruity fragrance, balancing fresh fruit and herbs with a smooth, sweet, woody dry-down.

The fragrance opens with apple, bergamot, and cardamom. Apple brings a juicy freshness, bergamot adds bright citrus character, and cardamom introduces aromatic spice that gives the opening additional warmth and structure.

At the heart, lavender, violet, and geranium create a polished aromatic-floral layer. Lavender gives Layton its classic fougère character, while violet adds softness and geranium contributes a clean green-floral dimension.

The dry-down develops around patchouli, vanilla, guaiac wood, and praline. Patchouli adds earthy depth, guaiac wood reinforces the woody structure, vanilla brings creamy warmth, and praline introduces a subtle gourmand sweetness. Together, these notes create the richer character that distinguishes Layton from lighter fresh fragrances.

Based on its fresh aromatic opening and warmer amber-fruity base, Parfums de Marly Layton is especially well suited to fall and winter, date nights, dinners, formal events, celebrations, and evening wear. Its apple, bergamot, and lavender opening also gives it enough freshness for polished daytime and professional settings.

Why You’ll Love It

Layton combines apple, bergamot, lavender, vanilla, patchouli, woods, and praline in a composition that transitions from crisp and aromatic to smooth, warm, and subtly sweet. It is an excellent choice for men who want a fragrance with both freshness and substantial woody-amber depth.
