What it actually smells like

Layton starts with crisp apple and bergamot warmed by cardamom, giving the opening a fresh but rounded character. Lavender becomes clearer through the heart alongside violet and geranium, bringing an aromatic softness before the fragrance grows noticeably warmer. Patchouli adds earthy depth underneath vanilla and praline, while guaiacwood gives the dry down a smooth woody finish.

Who this is for

Ideal if you enjoy warm masculine fragrances that balance freshness with sweetness and depth. Layton suits those drawn to aromatic lavender, crisp apple and a rich vanilla-patchouli base, particularly when you want something enveloping for colder weather.
