Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Layton's rich warm spicy vanilla-woody profile with strong projection excels in cooler weather, especially fall and winter, where its inviting and dense sweetness envelops without overwhelming. It can be worn in spring with moderation but is too heavy for most summer climates.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Layton's powerful sillage and sweet spicy warmth make it ideal for formal occasions, nights out, and romantic dates. It can work casually with a confident attitude but is generally too bold for the office or any sporty setting.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Layton opens with a dynamic burst of crisp apple and zesty bergamot, soon enveloped by smooth lavender and a touch of geranium for a modern, slightly powdery heart. As it settles, creamy vanilla and sandalwood meld with spicy cardamom and pepper, creating a plush, opulent aura. The drydown is long-lasting and addictive, leaving a trail of sweet, woody warmth with a subtly aromatic edge. Sophisticated yet playful, Layton is a bold, comforting embrace for those who want to be noticed.
