Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Glow EDP
Prepare for a soft, understated glow, not a dazzling spotlight. This warm amber-vanilla scent is a pleasant, easy reach that won't offend, but it also won't set the world alight. Many find it too subtle, even boring, while others cherish its gentle charm and versatility.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Symphonie EDP
If you like Layton, you'll love this. It's divisive only because it's so similar to other big hitters, not because it's a bad scent. A great performer, it's a classy crowd-pleaser that won't go unnoticed.

Season and Occasion Fit

Glow

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its mild projection and generally inoffensive scent profile make it highly suitable, even 'office safe', as many reviews note. However, its understated nature means it won't shine for formal events or adventurous dates where a bolder statement is often desired.

Symphonie

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its strong performance and dominant amber and spicy accords make it less suitable for the office. However, its sophisticated and sensual profile, with reports of excellent longevity, makes it ideal for dates and formal events.
