Loyal Agar

Exotic, masculine, well-blended. Very prominent dry tobacco and vanilla note. The vanilla note here is not the typical sweet vanilla. Incredible performance. I am not sure how close this is to PDM Layton; although I have smelled Al Haramain's Detour Noir, they do have similar "scent DNA" but they smell very different. Detour Noir is sweeter, more gourmand, has an apple pie smell and I can't detect any tobacco; Loyal Agar on the other hand has no apple-pie smell, in the opening there is a "minty" kind of smell, it is really heavy on the dry tobacco, the vanilla feels really smooth and gives off a dry kind of sweetness, Loyal Agar also smells spicier. To my nose, Detour Noir is more mass-appealing and alluring so I prefer wearing Detour Noir more than this one. Loyal Agar just feels too dry for me, I still like it though. Excellent performance.

I really enjoy Prince by Luxodor (BR540 layered with Aventus), so I wanted to try more from the brand. I find the brand has exceptional quality and incredibly affordable prices. Just as I sprayed this on my hand I heard “Wrong bottle! That’s a Layton dupe.” I thought, oh shucks, I don’t want a masculine scent on my hand. I’m so glad I didn’t instantly wash it off. 🤯The Loyal Agar dry down is insanely good!! I like it better than Layton. It doesn’t have the sharp apple opening or vicks vapor rub mid. Gorgeous tonka vanilla amber dry down 🥰 that I find very excellent on both men and women. I don’t get the masculine tones from Loyal Agar at all on my skin. Where as, Layton is very masculine on me. I need this, especially at this price!

Possibly my best blind buy purchase ever. Very strong opening; I get what others are saying regarding this being Layton on steroids. Essentially, this is a darker and sweeter version, with Layton being a tad bit brighter and fresher. Loyal Agar has that middle-eastern touch that can throw off some. The Vicks menthol-smell is definitely there, but blends nicely with the tobacco to give it some depth and power. This is currently my signature scent as not too many people know about it, and is distinguishable enough to Layton. Performance after the first hour is slightly disappointing in the recent batches with the gold magnetic cap, turns to almost a skin scent. But longevity is great. 8-9 hours.

This is a great scent! I mean wow such a beautiful scent profile with strong vanilla all the way till the end. I am not a fan of tobacco notes but in this scent the slight scent of tobacco just works and it beautiful. But most of the time you will be smelling the smoky vanilla throughout the time. It is a solid performer, we are talking beast mode performance with strong projection and great longevity. It is a compliment magnet but do not overspray it as it could choke people out (I will overspray because I am like that :D ) Haven't smelled Layton so can't tell if it is close to that but on its own it is such a nice perfume.

So glad I found this one... Immediately bought a back up bottle good performer on me blind buy gone right 👌🏿💯 ps....... a side note it took about 2/3 days for the perfume to start performing literally got better by the day to back up a comment I read above this performance is weak after 1st hour I found its very long lasting but sits very close after 1 hour I'm very disappointed as I bought like 3 bottles but truth be told scent gets compliments and smells beautiful but just don't expect beast mode performance because that has truly been hyped especially on the gold cap magnetic bottles that I have
