First time wearing this in the wild yesterday and was very pleased with this fragrance. Very good apple and lavender at first spray. As it drys down, I get more guaiac wood, vanilla, and amber. The guaiac wood and amber does a very good job of keeping this balanced. This smells like the color of the box, dark blue and smooth. Some people reported this Vicks vapor vibe and this one flirts with that, but never crosses that line. However, when smelt from a distance, no Vicks and this extremely pleasant. I guess the Vicks is an idiosyncrasy for Layton similar to the tar accord in Mugler A-Men, which is incredible btw. The longevity isn't a problem with this one. Sprayed at 6am; closer to skin at 2pm, skin scent until I washed it off late that night. Projection is great the first 1.5 to 2 hours, then pulls back within elbow length for the majority of the way. I'm going to be very interested in how this progresses as I (attempt) to sit it for a couple of weeks. Curious to find out if this gets stronger, if there's more depth, if other notes I missed the first time start to reveal themselves. Right now, this can be easily worn in Spring, Fall, and Winter...not bullish on the Summer though. I can see this being worn in a lot of situations as this is a versatile fragrance. So, date night, lounging around, hanging out socially, office...I would pick something else if I was dressing formally though. I want to wear this a few more times before giving a rating system, though nothing is less than a 9 right now. Sidenote; if this had oud or leather in it, I would have to buy several backup bottles. One of those two notes would make a damn good fragrance, perfect for me. Enjoy folks!

So, yesterday was the first wearing this after sitting about about 2 months. This one is good, sneaky longevity. I had no problem smelling this the first 6 hours, after that I'm assuming I went noseblind because at hour 9, I got a compliment from about 4 to 5 feet away. To my nose, the most prominent notes were apple, cardamom, and vanilla. Dark blue, sweet, spicy, and woody accords. Now, whether or not this smells like Layton, I'll let others argue that as I've never smelled that fragrance. But this is good at what it does. Projection: 8 Longevity: 9 Scent: 10 Price: 9 Overall: 9

I have the original PDM layton and layton exclusiv in decant and bought this one yesterday, tried both of them on each arm. its 80% similar to the normal Layton but less the vick vaporub smell. the candy apple and cinnamon was present when dried down. after an hour it leaves a subtle vainilla smell. its an awesome fragance for the price i bought (55 usd) . since its a new batch it needs to macerate for longer duration. i hope armaf make the layton exclusiv clone since is my favorite pdm fragance

Don't sleep on this cologne and the whole Armaf Lion's Club is new high quality and performance!! This lasts for around 8-10 hrs it smells 90% close to Layton I tried both hand by hand one a decant and this bottle can't tell a difference if anyhting the PDM line aroma is more mature, this is more juvenile but thing still slaps, don't sleep on the new armaf releases they're coming up with better quality and projection !

smells like layton, nothing more needs to be said. opening is more vanilla then layton imo, with maybe more vanilla all around in the drydown aswell. very good
