Parfums de Marly Layton Eau de Parfum The fragrance that made Parfums de Marly a household name for men. Layton by Parfums de Marly is a bold, deeply sophisticated oriental floral fragrance launched in 2016 and created by Hamid Merati-Kashani — the same perfumer behind Oriana — and a fragrance that has become one of the most celebrated, most discussed, and most universally flattering men’s fragrances of the past decade. Effortlessly versatile, endlessly wearable, and built with a complexity that reveals new facets with every hour of wear, Layton is the fragrance that fragrance enthusiasts recommend to everyone — and the one that converts casual wearers into lifelong collectors. It opens with a beautifully composed combination of apple, lavender, bergamot, and mandarin orange — fresh, slightly sweet, and immediately distinctive. The apple is the opening’s most unexpected and most beloved element: crisp, slightly tart, and deeply aromatic, it gives Layton an immediately recognisable character that sets it apart from every other oriental fragrance in its class. The heart deepens with geranium, violet, and jasmine — a warm, slightly floral, deeply aromatic accord that bridges the fresh opening and the rich, complex base with effortless elegance. The dry-down is the fragrance’s most magnificent achievement: vanilla, cardamom, sandalwood, pepper, guaiac wood, and patchouli — six base notes of extraordinary complementarity — creating a warm, spiced, woody depth of rare, enduring beauty. The vanilla is the base’s defining note: rich, creamy, and deeply sensual, it wraps the spice and wood in a warmth that makes Layton feel simultaneously bold and deeply comforting.
