Inspired by Parfums de Marly Layton ExclusifConcentration: Eau de ParfumSeason: Fall/winter Fragrance Notes:Top: bergamot, pink pepper and mandarin orangeHeart: civet, geranium, gardenia, rose and water lilyBase: vanilla, patchouli, oud, woody notes, amber, coffee, oakmoss and pink pepper Overview: Miraj Absolu opens with bergamot, pink pepper, and mandarin orange in a bright, slightly spiced citrus accord that is refined and immediately appealing. The heart of civet, geranium, gardenia, rose, and water lily builds into a rich, multi-layered floral accord with a slightly animalic quality that adds genuine depth and sophistication. The base of vanilla, patchouli, oud, amber, coffee, oakmoss, and pink pepper is complex and immensely satisfying, developing beautifully over hours. Fall and winter, suited to evenings and special occasions. Longevity runs 8 to 10 hours. A strong and well-executed interpretation of the Layton Exclusif DNA for those who want to explore that level of complexity without the Marly price tag.
